Parameter |
Description |
Number Validation and routing attributes | Attributes used to determine how a call made by the subscriber is routed to the network. You can override this setting for each Business Group Line in the group if necessary. Choose Use default or, if required, select one or more of the following values:
|
Distinctive alerting | Specifies whether a distinctive ring tone is used for incoming calls to lines in this Business Group, to identify either internal calls (from within the Business Group) or external calls. Distinctive alerting applies both to ring tones when the called number is not busy and to Call Waiting tones when the called number is busy. For SIP subscribers, use of distinctive ring tones depends on the support provided by the SIP device.
The distinctive ring tone used is different from that used for the Priority Call service. If both services are in use and an incoming call is from a number in the subscriber's own Priority Call list, the Priority Call ring tone is used in preference to the business group's distinctive alerting ring tone.
Values:
|
Service suspended | Specifies whether service for this Business Group is currently suspended (subscribers in the group are prevented from making or receiving calls). You can override this setting for each Business Group Line in the group if necessary. Values:
|
Line Class Code 1 - 20 | This field appears once for each Line Class Code that you have configured below the Trunk Routing and Policy Services object. A code used as a match attribute in number validation and/or routing to provide additional options for routing calls originating from this Business Group. (You can override this value for a specific Business Group Line within the group if required.) If you need to perform specific routing for this subscriber's calls, set this field to a value used as a match value for the Line Class Code in the appropriate Number Validation Entry or Routing Action. Specify the Line Class Code as an integer value in the range 0 - 2147483646. The default is 0. Alternatively, for a validated Line Class Code, you can select a specific value from the list of valid values by clicking on the ellipsis symbol at the end of the field. Either scroll down the alphabetic list of code value descriptions to select the value you want, or type the first few letters of the code's description so that the alphabetic list scrolls to select the entry you want. |
Locale | The language variant used for voice announcements played to subscribers in this business group. Values:
|
Enable advanced alerting features | Specifies whether advanced alerting is supported for SIP phones in this Business Group. Advanced alerting allows Alert-Info data to be sent on calls between two lines in a Business Group (if the specific SIP phones you are using provide support for it). This data allows the calling phone to specify how the called phone is to be alerted, and is typically used for push-to-talk calls or for customized distinctive ringing. Note that the Alert-Info sent on a call may be overridden by Alert-Info specified in the called phone's Remote Media Gateway Model, for example if Alert-Info is configured for intra-BG distinctive ringing. Choose Use default or specify a value:
|
Traffic study | Specifies whether this Business Group should have statistics for traffic usage recorded. This records overall statistics for the Business Group as a whole, and can be used to monitor the effect of Facility Group Limits on calls to or from the Business Group. It does not affect whether Line Traffic Studies are used for specific lines within the group. Values:
|
Facility Group Limits - external calls | Specifies whether or not limits are placed on the total number of external calls that can be made to or from this Business Group at the same time. Values:
|
Facility Group Limits - maximum external calls | This field is visible only if Facility Group Limits - external calls is set to Limited. Specifies the maximum number of external calls that can be made to or from this Business Group at the same time. Range: 1 - 2147483647. |
Facility Group Limits - terminating calls | This field is visible only if Facility Group Limits - external calls is set to Limited or Unlimited.
Specifies whether or not limits are placed on the number of external calls that can be made to this Business Group at the same time. Values:
|
Facility Group Limits - maximum terminating calls | This field is visible only if Facility Group Limits - terminating calls is set to Limited. Specifies the maximum number of incoming external calls that can be made to this Business Group at the same time. If Facility Group Limits - external calls has been set to Limited, this value cannot be greater than the value specified in Facility Group Limits - maximum external calls. Range: 1 - 2147483647. |
Facility Group Limits - originating calls | This field is visible only if Facility Group Limits - external calls is set to Limited or Unlimited.
Specifies whether or not limits are placed on the number of external calls that can be made from this Business Group at the same time. Values:
|
Facility Group Limits - maximum originating calls | This field is visible only if Facility Group Limits - originating calls is set to Limited. Specifies the maximum number of external calls that can be made from this Business Group. If Facility Group Limits - external calls has been set to Limited, this value cannot be greater than the value specified in Facility Group Limits - maximum external calls. Note that this includes calls forwarded from a Business Group Line or three-way calls set up by a Business Group Line within the group. Range: 1 - 2147483647. |
Deliver ISDN User Provided Number on emergency call | This field appears only if the Call Agent signaling type field is set to ISDN PRI; it is not valid for a Business Group. |
Use static NAT mapping | Specifies whether the NE should perform Network Address Translation on the contents of messages sent to this subscriber. This field appears only if Call Agent signaling type is set to SIP. Values:
|
Maximum call appearances | The maximum number of simultaneous call branches in which the subscriber can participate. This field appears, and must be supplied, only if Call Agent signaling type is set to SIP. Choose Use default or specify a value. When the subscriber's SIP phone registers with the NE, creating a Registered SIP Binding object, this value determines the number of SIP Call Appearance child objects of the Registered SIP Binding. |
Maximum permitted contact refresh interval | The maximum time for which a SIP registration from this subscriber remains valid. This field appears, and must be supplied, only if Call Agent signaling type is set to SIP. Choose Use default or specify a value. This time corresponds to the Expires header on the SIP request; the SIP phone will be disconnected if the user does not re-register within this time. The SIP phone may specify a shorter interval when registering, but if it specifies a longer interval or does not specify one, the value in this field is used in the SIP response. If the SIP phone specifies an interval lower than 3600 seconds (1 hour), this field must be set to the exact value specified by the SIP phone; otherwise the registration attempt is rejected and the SIP phone is disconnected. |
