E1 Versus T1 Telephony Environments

Phonebooks for Series II analog MultiVOIP units (MVP130,

MVP130FXS, MVP210, MVP410, MVP810, MVP210SS, MVP410SS, and

MVP810SS) can be operated in either an environment of either North

American telephony standards (potentially operating with T1 digital

MultiVOIPs) or of European telephony standards (potentially operating

with E1 digital MultiVOIPs). The configuration of the phonebook is the

same in either case. However, because the telephony environment is

different in each case and the examples used here must reflect those

differences, we have separate chapters for phonebook configuration in

North American (T1) environments (Chapter 6) and for that in

European (E1) environments (Chapter 7; this shapter). Consult the

chapter that best fits the needs of your voip system.

E1-Standard Inbound and Outbound
MultiVOIP Phonebooks

Important

Definition:

The MultiVOIP’s Outbound phonebook
lists the phone stations it can call;
its Inbound phonebook describes the
dialing sequences that can be used to
call that MultiVOIP and how those calls
will be directed.


When a VOIP serves a PBX system, the operation of the VOIP should be

transparent to the telephone end user and savings in long-distance

calling charges should be enjoyed. Use of the VOIP should not require

the dialing of extra digits to reach users elsewhere on the VOIP

network. On the contrary, VOIP service more commonly reduces

dialed digits by allowing users (served by PBXs in facilities in distant

cities) to dial their co-workers with 3-, 4-, or 5-digit extensions -- as if

they were in the same facility. More importantly, the VOIP system

should be configured to maximize savings in long-distance calling

charges. To achieve both of these objectives, ease of use and maximized

savings, the VOIP phonebooks must be set correctly.

NOTE: VOIPs are commonly used for

another reason, as well: VOIPs

allow an organization to

integrate phone and data traffic

onto a single network. Typically

these are private networks.
