Using a VTL
Password
To allow users on one NBX system to place VTL calls to another NBX
system and then place long-distance (toll) calls from that location (a
practice called ‘hop off’), you can configure a VTL password.
When an NBX system receives a VTL call from a user on another NBX
system, it can allow that user to make long-distance calls if the incoming
VTL call contains the password. Otherwise, such calls are not allowed. If
you set up two classes of VTL calls (with and without passwords), you can
permit or disallow hop off.
To enable an NBX system to handle incoming hop off calls, use the NBX
NetSet utility to create or modify a VTL password. (See the next topic,
C
onfiguring a VTL Password.) To enable an NBX system to send hop off
VTL calls, configure the dial plan to include the VTL password. (See
Configuring VTL Passwords in the Dial Plan
on page 96.)
Configuring a VTL
Password
For each NBX system that can receive VTL calls, you use the NBX NetSet
utility to configure a local system VTL password.
To configure the password:
1 In the NBX NetSet - Main Menu window, click System Configuration.
2 Click the Security tab.
3 Click the Virtual Tie Lines Password button. The Change Virtual Tie Lines
Password dialog box appears.
4 Type the administrator password in the Current Admin Password text box.
5 Type the new VTL password in the New Virtual Tie Line Password text
box.
Passwords are from 8 to 15 characters in length and must contain only
letters and numbers. Upper and lower case letters are permitted.
6 Retype the new VTL password in the Re-enter New Password text box.
7 Click OK.
