1.2 Network Devices and Numbering PlanGetting Started 91.2.2 Numbering Plan ExampleThere are 2 methods to plan your numbering system, as follows:This section provides a network numbering mechanism using the PBX code method based on theprevious example diagram. Configure your network referring to this example.NoteAn example using the extension number method is provided in "B Alternative Numbering PlanExample".IP Addressing InformationIP addressing information is typically supplied by a network administrator. Consult your networkadministrator for specific values.PBX codemethodIn addition to the destination number, the caller dials the unique PBX code of thePBX to which the called party is connected. Therefore, extension numbers atseparate PBXs in the network can overlap. For example, each PBX in thenetwork can have an extension whose number is 201.Extensionnumber methodThe caller dials only the destination number of the called party to call throughPBXs at different locations (hence there are fewer digits to dial than with the PBXcode method). To employ the extension number method, no 2 PBXs can haveextensions sharing the same number. For example, if one PBX in the networkhas an extension whose number is 201, no other PBX can have an extensionwith the same number (201).Los AngelesOfficeChicagoOfficeDescriptionCard IP Address 200.45.11.35 199.176.64.41Identifies the location of each VoIP GatewayCard in the network during VoIPcommunications. A unique IP address mustbe assigned to each card.Default GatewayAddress 200.45.11.1 199.176.64.1Identifies the IP address of the primarygateway (typically a router or similar device)that exchanges IP packets with the othergateways on the VoIP network.Subnet MaskAddress 255.255.255.0 255.255.255.0Defines which digits of an IP address areused for the network address and the hostaddress at each network location. A card IPaddress must fall within the same subnet asthat of the default gateway (e.g., router) thatis connected to the card.
