•

Extension

Assign an extension number for an SIP client to register.

Extension number, the password and user ID are for

authentication requirement when registering to SIP server.

•

Caller ID

Assign a caller ID, either in numeric or text characters, which

will be sent to the called party when you are making a call.

•

Type

Select the service type for the extension. An extension can be

selected as a standard SIP extension, auto attendant virtual

extension, or ITSP registration account. To work with ITSP

service, an extension must be created for both forwarding

outbound call and accepting inbound call. The user has to do

the other conguration for ITSP operation, such as IP address,

port number assignment, ID and password setting. Refer to

“Dialing plan” section for more details.

•

DTMF mode

Select the DTMF mode for this extension to work with the

iPBX30 server. The available selections are: Inband, RFC2833

and info.

Note: We recommend using “info” mode for most

cases.

The SIP client and the server should select the same DTMF

mode to work properly.

We do not recommend using ‘Inband' mode for

iPBX30, although it is supported.

If the SIP client enabled ‘Inband’ mode, it will send out DTMF

tone to server and server has to process the tone and decide

which DTMF code has received. Processing the DTMF tone

needs very complex calculation. This makes iPBX30 CPU very

busy and it will be incapable of processing many channels at

the same time.

•

Call Privilege

For different extension users, you may want to control their

116

iPBX30 User Manual

Chapter 12

outbound call authorization level, in other words, the rights to

call local city call, long distance call, international call or only

ofce call.

Note: Check the item “Recording” to assign this

extension into greeting voice announcement

recording function. The user can record voice

message into the extension.

•

Server RTP relay

This function allows the user to choose if the IP-PBX server

should relay the RTP packets from this extension.

This function is useful when the extension client is located

behind some special NAT device and unable to make a VoIP

call successfully. The RTP packet relay will increase the

loading of the server, but this is a good solution to penetrate

NAT devices for VoIP client.

•

Call group

This allows the user to assign a group number for identication

when this extension makes a call to other parties. This will

enable another extension to know the group number when it

receives a call.

•

Pickup group

Pickup grouping allows you to group the different extensions

with the same working attribute into the same pickup group, so

the group members can answer their colleague’s phone call if

they were temporary unavailable.

•

NAT

You have to check this item with yes when the extension is

located behind an NAT device, and uncheck this item if the

extension is located at LAN environment.

•

Availability checking intervals (ms)

Assign the time duration for IP-PBX server sending out an

availability check request to the extension device. Server will

change the extension available status to “Unreachable” if the

extension has no response to this checking request, and mark

the client status as on line if the device response in time.

registering to ITSP. Normally the SIP server registration is

protected for preventing unauthorized user login.

12.2.3 PrexRouting

“Prex routing” enables user to dene a prex code mapping for

routing calls to a specied destination.

The destination could be a gateway or ITSP service server. Prex

routing must work with “Gateway” or “ITSP” setting.

Figure 12.7 Prex Routing page

121

Chapter 12

iPBX30 User Manual

• Prex

Enter the prex code here to be matched with each user call

attempt. If the digits from a call fail to be matched with any

prex digits dened in prex routing, it will be treated as a local

extension call.

• Action

Select the action of a call if the prex digits were matched. You

can select to forward the call or block the call.

• Destination type

Select the destination type, either a gateway or ITSP service.

• Destination protocol

Gateway conguration page.

• Digits to remove

The user can dene the length of digits to be removed from a

call before forwarding to a destination gateway or ITSP server.

Prex code removing is necessary because the ITSP will not

recognize these codes and may cause call failure.

• Digits to prex

The user can dene the length of digits to be added to a call

before forwarding to a destination gateway or ITSP server.

Prex code removing is only necessary when ITSP or gateway

devices needed to parse your dialing rule.

12.4 Features

12.4.1 Voicemail

The iPBX30 supports voice mail feature, the caller party can leave

a message to the called party when the call is not answered, and

IPBX30 can send the user an e-mail notification when the voice

message recording is done.

To enable mail notification function, the iPBX30 needs a mail

sender account to send mail. You can set up the mail account and

tag message here.

The iPBX30 voice mail message data are kept in on-

board ash memory.

Voicemail is a centralized system of managing telephone mes-

sages for a large group of people. In its simplest form it mimics the

functions of an answering machine. Voicemail systems are much

more sophisticated than answering machines in that they can:

• Answer many phones at the same time

• Store incoming voice messages in personalized mailboxes

associated with the user’s phone number

• Enable users to forward received messages to another voice

mailbox

• Store voice messages for future delivery

• Send email to notify the uset a message has arrived in the

mailbox

• Transfer callers to another phone number for personal

assistance

Voicemail messages are stored on hard disk drives or on board

flash memory, media generally used by computers to store other

forms of data. Messages are recorded in digitized natural human

voice similar to how music is stored on a CD. You can call the sys-

tem from any phone, logs on using DTMF codes (clearing security)

to retrieve messages. Multiple users can retrieve or store messages

at the same time on the same voicemail system.
