Calls by Trusted Party into PBX and Beyond
Employee Accesses PSTN of Home City Thru PBX. The drawing below shows a trusted party using
TalkAnytime to access the PSTN of the company’s home office and, from there, to make a call to his home
residence. In this case, the caller does not need to surf to the company’s home page to begin. Once an
Internet connection is established, the user can simply type the private (and secret) URL that he has been
given into the browser, press ENTER, and be connected to the TalkAnytime unit. When the TalkAnytime
dialing pad appears, the user can dial just as if he/she were at his desk at the company’s home office.
NOTE: Since this arrangement gives access to the company’s PBX and consequent
financial liability for toll charges incurred, such authorization should only be
given to trusted parties.
The main settings of the TalkAnytime Configuration Program, Phonebook, and web server URL that are
required to allow this kind of incoming call are shown in the second drawing below. Note that, especially
for the T1/E1/ISDN parameters, your settings must simply conform to the requirements of your PBX;
there is no set of routine default values that can be depended upon to be widely applicable.
