The default for this setting is disabled.
This setting only applies to the DMS100 protocol for digital access gateways in the Channel Identification information element (IE) of the SETUP, CALL PROCEEDING, ALERTING, and CONNECT messages.
|
Interface Identifier Value
|
This value should be obtained from the PBX provider.
|
Applies to DMS100 protocol only. Valid values range from 0 to 255.
|
Display IE Delivery
|
When this box is checked, it enables delivery of the display information element (IE) in SETUP and CONNECT messages for the calling and called party name delivery service.
|
By default, Display IE Delivery is disabled.
|
Redirecting Number IE Delivery
|
When this box is checked (enabled), the Redirecting Number IE is included in the SETUP message to indicate the first redirecting number and the redirecting reason of the call when Call Forward happens.
|
By default, this setting is disabled.
This setting applies to the SETUP message only on all protocols for digital access gateways.
|
Delay for first restart (1/8 sec ticks)
|
Controls the rate at which the spans are brought in service when Inhibit Restarts at PRI Initialization is disabled.
|
Use this option when many PRI spans are enabled on a system and Inhibit Restarts at PRI Initialization is disabled. For example, set the first five cards to 0, and set the next five cards to 16. (Wait two seconds before bringing them in service.)
|
Delay between restarts (1/8 sec ticks)
|
Determines the length of time between restarts if Inhibit Restarts is disabled, when a PRI RESTART is sent.
|
|
Num Digits
|
Specifies the number of significant digits to collect, from 0 to 32.
Significant digits are counted from the right (last digit) of the number called.
|
This field is used if you enable Sig Digits. It is used for the processing of incoming calls and indicates the number of digits starting from the last digit of the called number used to route calls coming into the PRI span. See Prefix DN and Sig Digits.
|
Sig Digits
|
Represents the number of final digits a PRI span should retain on inbound calls. A trunk with significant digits enabled truncates all but the final few digits of the address provided an inbound call.
|
Enable or disable this box depending on whether you want to collect significant digits.
If disabled, the Cisco CallManager does not truncate the inbound number.
If enabled, you also need to choose the number of significant digits to collect.
|
Prefix DN
|
Specifies the prefix digits that are appended to the digits this trunk receives on incoming calls.
|
The Cisco CallManager adds prefix digits after first truncating the number in accordance with the Num Digits setting.
|
Presentation Bit
|
Determines whether the central office transmits or blocks caller ID.
|
Select Allowed if you want the Central Office to send caller ID.
Select Restricted if you do not want the Central Office to send caller ID.
|

|
Specifies the collection of Route Partitions searched to determine how a collected (originating) number should be routed.
|
|
Location
|
Specifies the remote location accessed using restricted bandwidth connections.
|
|
Caller ID DN
|
The pattern you want to use for Caller ID, from 0 to 24 digits.
|
For example, in North America:
• 555XXXX = variable Caller ID, where X is equal to an extension number. The CO appends the number with the area code if you do not specify it.
• 5555000 = Fixed Caller ID. Use when you want the Corporate number to be sent instead of the exact extension from which the call is placed. The CO appends the number with the area code if you do not specify it.
|
Calling Party Selection
|
Any outbound call on a gateway can send directory number information. This field determines which directory number is sent.
|
The following options specify which directory number is sent:
• Originator—send the directory number of the calling device.
• First Redirect Number—send the directory number of the redirecting device.
• Last Redirect Number—send the directory number of the last device to redirect the call.
|
Presentation Bit
|
Determines whether the central office transmits or blocks caller ID.
|
Select Allowed if you want the Central Office to send caller ID.
Select Restricted if you do not want the Central Office to send caller ID.
|
Display IE Delivery
|
When this box is checked, it enables delivery of the display IE in SETUP and CONNECT messages for the calling and called party name delivery service.
|
By default, Display IE Delivery is disabled.
|
Gatekeeper Name
|
The Domain Name Service (DNS) name or IP address of the H.323 gatekeeper.
A gatekeeper is an H.323 entity on the LAN that supports the H.225 RAS message set used for admission control, bandwidth allocation, and dial pattern resolution. It controls access to the LAN for connections between H.323-compliant devices such as terminals and gateways.
|
Use only for H.323-compliant gateways. All other devices do not use this box.
• If your device is not gatekeeper controlled, select None.
• If the H.225 device will be controlled by a remote Gatekeeper, select the name of the Gatekeeper from the drop-down list.
|
Media Termination Point Required
|
Determines whether or not a Media Termination Point is used to implement features that H.323 does not support (such as hold and transfer).
|
Used for H.323 clients only and those H.323 devices that do not support the H.245 Empty Capabilities Set message.
|
Num Digits
|
Specifies the number of significant digits to collect, from 0 to 32.
Significant digits are counted from the right (last digit) of the number called.
|
This field is used if you enable Sig Digits. It is used for the processing of incoming calls and indicates the number of digits starting from the last digit of the called number used to route calls coming into the H.323 device. See Prefix DN and Sig Digits.
|
Sig Digits
|
Represents the number of final digits retained on inbound calls. A trunk with significant digits enabled truncates all but the final few digits of the address provided an inbound call.
|
