Number of Lines |
3 digits |
Specify the number of lines you want to provision for each telephony service in the Number of Lines field. Enter either of the following values, whichever is smaller:
If you are configuring a high availability array, enter the number of lines available to a single telephony service, not the total number of lines available to all services. For example, if you have 2 Vocera SIP Telephony Gateway (VSTG) services and your license contains 48 lines, specify 24 in this field to give each service 24 lines for a total of 48. The number of lines that you provision for each telephony service is decremented from the number of lines in your license. |

Enter the area code of the region in which the Voice Service is installed in the Local Area Code field. |
Omit Area Code when Dialing Locally |

Check the Omit Area Code field when dialing locally. If your PBX requires you to dial local calls without using the area code you can enable this option. By default, Vocera includes the area code in the dialing string, even when dialing a local number. Check this field if your PBX or locale requires you to omit the area code when dialing local calls. |
Voice Hunt Group |
50 |
Specify the area code and phone numbers of the DID lines or hunt group you set up for the Vocera system in the Vocera Hunt Group Numbers fields. There are two hunt group number fields:
|
Default Local Access Code |
10 |
Specify the sequence of numbers you use to get an outside line. For example, a PBX might require you to dial a 0 or a 9 or an 8 to get an outside line. By default, Vocera prepends this access code to any number within the local area code. |
Default Long-Distance Access Code |
10 |
Specify the sequence of numbers you enter before placing a long distance call. For example, a PBX system might require you to dial a 9 to get an outside line and then dial a 1 before a long-distance telephone number. In this situation, the Default Long-Distance Access Code is 91. By default, Vocera prepends this access code to any number that includes an area code that is not the local area code. |
Company Voicemail Access Code |
19 |
Use the Company Voicemail Access Code field to specify the sequence of numbers you use to access the company’s voice mail system. A typical entry includes X, then the sequence of digits that you dial to get into the voicemail system from an internal phone, and possibly special dialing characters such as the * or # to indicate the end of the sequence. |
SIP Settings |
n/a |
Specify the SIP settings:
|
By default, numbers in the local area code use the Default Local Access Code, and all others use the Default Long-Distance Access Code. For more information on Telephony-Access Code Exceptions, see Access Code Exceptions more information.
When a number or range of numbers in your local area code is a toll call.
When a number or range of numbers outside your area code is a toll-free call.
For more information on Toll Exception configuration, see Toll Exceptions.
For more information on DID configuration, see Direct Inward Dialing.
When a dialing sequence includes a PIN, this value defines the format that the Vocera system uses to send it to the PBX. Every site that has its own PBX can define a PIN and a PIN template. Sites that share a PBX use the PIN and PIN template defined for the Global facility.
For more information on Telephony-PINs, see Telephony PINs.
For more information on Telephony-Dynamic Extensions, see Configuring Dynamic Extension for a Facility.
You can add a Facility name, Guest Access Number, Direct Access Number, and the Tie Line Prefix information. For information on Telephony-Sharing configuration, see Shared Telephony Configuration.
