  • Page 29 Detailed Explanations The card and the PBX are connected with 2 VoIP gateway ports, each of which has 2 communication channels, in much the same way as an ISDN BRI port. PBX (PBX Code: 950) IP Network Hunt pattern programming determines the VoIP gateway ports through which to route incoming calls, depending on the received numbers.
  • Page 30 2.2 Programming Example 1 The following configuration is used to allocate 2 VoIP gateway ports (4 channels) to route incoming calls to both extension groups A and B. When there are 4 incoming calls to extension group A in this configuration, no call can be routed to extension group B.
  • Page 31 Example 2 The following configuration is used to allocate a single VoIP gateway port (2 channels) to individual extension groups. Specifically, with this configuration, calls to extension group A are routed through the port 1, and calls to extension group B are routed through the port 2. This configuration rejects the third call to extension group A, while reserving the other port (the other 2 channels) through which to route calls to extension group B.

  • Page 34 2.2 Programming Parameter & Description Group No. Specifies the number of the gateway group to which the gateway entry belongs. Grouping is useful when there is more than one card installed in a PBX, because it allows you to use the automatic route redirection feature.

  • Page 37: Automatic Route Redirection

    Detailed Explanations Automatic Route Redirection When more than one card is installed in a PBX, you can assign them to a single gateway group. Grouping allows you to logically combine the channels of multiple cards in a PBX (there are 4 channels per card).
  • Page 38 2.2 Programming The automatic route redirection feature activates in this configuration. If a call is made through card A to gateway group 1 when all 4 channels of card B are busy, card A automatically redirects the call to card C. This is possible because by grouping, PBX 1 sees PBX 2 as having a combined set of 8 channels, not 2 separate sets of 4 channels.
