CHAPTER 8. MANAGING OUTBOUND CALLS 8-21
BETA DOCUMENT - PRELIMINARY & CONFIDENTIAL
n Long-distance prefix. Prefix required to dial a long-distance number
from the Server location.
In the U.S., enter 1. Outside of the U.S. and Canada, the
long-distance prefix is typically 0.
n International prefix. Prefix required to dial an international number
from the Server location. In the U.S., enter 011. Outside of the U.S.,
the international prefix is typically 00.
n Area code. City or area code for local phone numbers.
n Dial local numbers without area code. If checked, Strata CS strips
the area code from local numbers before dialing. In most areas, this
field should be checked, unless the service allocates trunks that only
support long-distance numbers, or always expect numbers to include
area codes.
n Include long-distance prefix in area code. If checked, Strata CS
assumes that the long-distance prefix is always included with the area
code, as in the U.K. for example, 0181. This field is only available
for a Phone Number service, and is disabled in the U.S.
Codecs tab
When you add a dialing service of the type Internet Address (see page 8-14),
Internet-to-Phone Number (see page 8-15), or Internet-to-Centrex/PBX
Extension(see page 8-17), you can default to the codecs specified for the Internet
span or override the default and specify one or more codecs for this service. For
a complete discussion of codecs, including which ones to choose, see “Modifying
Strata CS IP codecs” on page 5-22.
You can create different IP services optimized for specific uses, for example, one
IP service with codecs optimized for Net Meeting, and another with codecs
optimized for Strata CS-to-Strata CS communication over IP.
Note:
The default is to use the codecs set up at the span level. If you want to use
the default codecs, you do not need to make any changes on the Codecs tab. The
Codecs tab does not display the default codecs assigned at the Internet span level.
To view the default codecs, you must display the span properties in the Trunks
view.
If you decide to override the default codecs for the span, arrange the codecs in the
order in which you prefer to use them. For example, you may prefer one codec
over another to get greater bandwidth or better voice quality.
