legacy equipment by assigning a new prefix to each new site or to users on the new
ShoreTel system.
• Legacy integration via OSEs (Off System Extensions) – Ability to call multiple
legacy PBXs from the ShoreTel system.
• Multi-tenant – On-Net Dialing allows a landlord to maintain one phone system at
a building that houses two or more businesses or organizations in such a way that
neither organization is aware that the infrastructure or trunk lines are being
shared. Despite the fact that both organizations are in the same building, you can
assign different prefixes to each company and could then hide one organization's
phone numbers from the other group so that neither group would see the other via
the directory.
Configuration
The process of configuring On-Net Dialing consists of the following tasks:
• Planning and Configuring the Dialing Plan
• Adding Sites
• Associating an Extension Prefix with a Site
• Assigning User Extensions
Each of these tasks is addressed in more detail below.
NOTE Enabling On-Net Dialing is an irreversible process that makes permanent
changes to the database. Thus, you should plan carefully before proceeding with
any configuration changes.
Planning and Configuring the Dialing Plan
Assigning extension prefixes to a specific digit must be done all at once. Once the
dialing plan window (shown below) has been configured and saved, there is no way to
make changes to the extension prefix assignments without erasing the database and
starting all over. Therefore, we recommend carefully planning and reviewing your
dialing plans before configuring the dialing plan window.
To configure the dialing plan via Director, follow the procedure below:
Step 1 Launch ShoreWare Director and enter the user ID and password.
Step 2 Click on the Administration link to expand the list (if it has not
already been expanded).
Step 3 Click on the System Parameters link and then the Dialing Plan link to
display the Edit Dialing Plan window, as shown below:
