Inbound versus Outbound Phonebooks

To make the VOIP system transparent to phone users and to allow all

possible free and reduced-rate calls, the VOIP administrator must

configure the “Outbound” and “Inbound” phone-books of each VoIP in

the system.
The “Outbound” phonebook for a particular VOIP unit describes the

dialing sequences required for a call to originate locally (typically in a

PBX in a particular facility) and reach any of its possible destinations at

remote VOIP sites, including calls terminating at points beyond the

remote VOIP site.
The “Inbound” phonebook for a particular VOIP unit describes the

dialing sequences required for a call to originate remotely from any

other VOIP sites in the system, and to terminate on that particular

VOIP.
Briefly stated, the MultiVOIP’s Outbound phonebook lists the phone stations

it can call; its Inbound phonebook lists the dialing sequences that can be used

to call that MultiVOIP. (Of course, the phone numbers are not literally

“listed” individually.) The phone stations that can originate or

complete calls over the VOIP system are described by numerical rules

called “destination patterns.” These destination patterns generally

consist of country codes, area codes or city codes, and local phone

exchange numbers.
