You need to assign a Group ID to the channels. This Mobile Trunk Group ID allows you to differentiate
MobileExt users connecting through different trunk types, like PSTN, SIP, or cell phone gateway. You can
assign a mobile extension to use a specific trunk group. For example, if you assign SIP trunk channels
from 1-3 to Group 001, and mobile extension 237 is assigned to Group 001, then when you make a call
to extension 237, only the SIP Trunk channels from 1-3 can be seized. If all three channels are busy, the
call will fail while other mobile extensions using another mobile trunk group ID may not be impacted.
Mobile extensions are assigned to a group in the ExtensionAnywhere Configuration dialog box (see
Figure
Note:
If a PRI span is used, only the whole span can be added or removed, not individual PRI channels.
T1 and analog trunks are added or removed individually.
Although a whole PRI span is added, if Mobile Trunk Allocation is selected as Shared
(see Figure
226), individual trunks, when idle, still can be used dynamically
by normal PRI trunk traffic or mobile extensions.

On the left side of the Mobile Extension Board Configuration dialog box, configure the fields:
•
Max Number of Extensions
– If more mobile channel support is required, change this to a larger
number (1000 extensions maximum), and then reboot the system.
•
Key Simulation
– Check the first check box to allow the mobile phone user to use the * key to simulate
“FLASH”. Check the second check box to allow the user to use ** to disconnect the current call and
then get a dial tone without hanging up the cell phone. The user must press the second * within 1.5
seconds.

DNIS Access Numbers
– If a PRI trunk is used for a mobile extension, a DNIS access number must
be set, so that MaxCS 7.5 can tell if the incoming call is a regular trunk call or a mobile extension off-
hook request. Click the Add button in this panel to add a DNIS access number. To remove a number,
select it and click the Remove button.
