Phonebooks
Important
Definition:
The MultiVOIP’s Outbound phonebook
lists the phone stations it can call;
its Inbound phonebook describes the
dialing sequences that can be used to
call that MultiVOIP and how those calls
will be directed.
When a VOIP serves a PBX system, the operation of the VOIP should be
transparent to the telephone end user and savings in long-distance
calling charges should be enjoyed. Use of the VOIP should not require
the dialing of extra digits to reach users elsewhere on the VOIP
network. On the contrary, VOIP service more commonly reduces
dialed digits by allowing users (served by PBXs in facilities in distant
cities) to dial their co-workers with 3-, 4-, or 5-digit extensions -- as if
they were in the same facility. More importantly, the VOIP system
should be configured to maximize savings in long-distance calling
charges. To achieve both of these objectives, ease of use and maximized
savings, the VOIP phonebooks must be set correctly.
NOTE: VOIPs are commonly used for
another reason, as well: VOIPs
allow an organization to
integrate phone and data traffic
onto a single network. Typically
these are private networks.
