•5555000 = Fixed caller ID, for when you want the Corporate number to be sent instead of the exact extension from which the call is placed. The CO appends the number with the area code if you do not specify it.
|
Prefix DN
|
Enter the prefix digits that are appended to the called party number on incoming calls.
The Cisco CallManager adds prefix digits after first truncating the number in accordance with the Num Digits setting.
|
Num Digits
|
Choose the number of significant digits to collect, from 0 to 32. Cisco CallManager counts significant digits from the right (last digit) of the number called.
Use this field if you check the Sig Digits check box. Use this field for the processing of incoming calls and to indicate the number of digits starting from the last digit of the called number used to route calls coming into the PRI span. See Prefix DN and Sig Digits.
|
Expected Digits
|
Enter the number of digits expected on the inbound side of the trunk. If you are unsure, leave zero as the default value for this rarely used field.
|
Product-Specific Configuration
|
Model-specific configuration fields defined by the gateway manufacturer
|
The model-specific fields under product-specific configuration define the gateway manufacturer. Because they are dynamically configured, they can change without notice.
To view field descriptions and help for product-specific configuration items, click the "i" information icon to the right of the Product Specific Configuration heading to display help in a popup dialog box.
If you need more information, refer to the documentation for the specific gateway that you are configuring or contact the manufacturer.
