MSN and Subaddress
Depending on your location, you may have Multiple Subscriber Number (MSN) where the telephone
company gives you more than one number for your ISDN line. You can assign each number to a different
port, e.g., the first number to data calls, the second to A/B adapter 1 and so on. Or (DSS1) the telephone
company may give you only one number, but allow you to assign your own subaddresses to different ports,
e.g., subaddress 1 to data calls and 2 to A/B adapter 1.
Incoming Call Routing
The
Incoming Phone Number Matching
setting governs how incoming calls are routed. If you select
Multiple Subscriber Number (MSN)
or
Called Party
Subaddress
, a call (either ISDN data or
analog) is routed to the port that matches the dialed number; if no match is found, the call is dropped.
If you select
Don’t Care
, then all data calls are routed to the Prestige itself. Analog calls, however, are
routed to either A/B adapter 1 or 2, or simply ignored, depending on the
Analog Call Routing
field.
Global Calls
A global call is an incoming analog call where the switch did not send the dialed number. This happens
most often when the call originates from an analog telephone line.
If you specify explicit matching, i.e.,
Incoming Phone Number Matching
is either MSN or Called Party
Subaddress, then global calls are always ignored. If it is
Don’t Care
and
Analog Call Routing
is either
A/B Adapter 1 or 2, then the Prestige uses
Global Analog Call
to decide how to handle global calls. If you
set
Global Analog Call
to
Accept
, then global calls are routed to the port according to the
Analog Call
Routing
setting; if you set
Global Analog Call
to
Ignore
, then the Prestige ignores all global calls. If
Analog Call Routing
is
Ignore
to begin with, then all analog calls, including global calls, are ignored.
PABX Outside Line Prefix
A PABX (Private Automatic Branch eXchange) generally requires you to dial a number (a single digit in
most cases) when you need an outside line. If your Prestige is connected to a PABX, enter this number in
PABX Outside Line Prefix
, otherwise, leave it blank.
Please note that the PABX prefix is for calls initiated by the Prestige only. If you place a call from a device
on either A/B adapter, you must dial the prefix by hand.
Outgoing Calling Party Number
If this field is not blank, the Prestige will use its value as the
calling party number
for "ISDN Data", "A/B
Adapter 1" and "A/B Adapter 2" outgoing calls. Otherwise, the individual entries for "ISDNData", "A/B
Adapter 1" and "A/B Adapter 2" will be used as the calling party number. You only need to fill in this field
if your switch or PABX requires a specific calling party number for outgoing calls, otherwise, leave it
blank. If you need to override the individual calling party number, enter Command Interpreter mode and
issue the command:
