ShoreTel Sites
ShoreTel 6.1 Administration Guide 3 – 3
Language This is the default language for the site. You must obtain a
license to enable more than one language. For more
information see “Languages” on page 2-13.
Parent The default parent site is Headquarters. Headquarters does not
display the drop-down list of sites. Sites other than
Headquarters must select a parent. This server is used for two
purposes:
• By ShoreWare Director to provide a default server when
new users are added
• By the call control software in the ShoreGear voice
switches so that it knows where to route calls that request
voice mail service
NOTE Only valid parent sites appear in the drop-down list.
Child sites and the site currently being edited do not
appear.
Use Parent As Proxy This allows descendant sites the use of parent site trunks if no
trunks are available at the present site. The proxy site must be
in the same country as the site you are presently using.
Extension Prefix The On-Net Dialing feature enables the division of phone
numbers into two separately managed parts, an extension
prefix (and similar in concept to a site code ) and a user
extension. This division offers greater flexibility and
facilitates integration with legacy phone systems.
Note: The Extension Prefix field will not appear in this
window until after you have modified the Dialing Plan
window, thus enabling the On Net Dialing feature.
Local Area Code This defines the local area code of the site so that users can
dial local numbers without an area code. In the United States,
this is the area code used for 7-digit dialing. For example,
when the user dials an access code followed by seven digits at
the site, this is the area code they are dialing.
This also defines the area code that is considered “local” from
a call permissions point of view.
Additional Local
Area Codes
In the United States, this defines area codes that can be dialed
using 10-digit dialing instead of 1+10-digit dialing. For
example, if the site is in an overlay area with multiple local
area codes that require 10-digit dialing, you can be consistent
with the dialing plan in your region by entering the additional
area codes in this parameter.
This also defines additional area codes that are considered
“local” from a call permissions point of view.
