How to connect to a remote OXO's trunks from main OXO?
Posted: 27 Nov 2007 11:11
Hello Everybody,
I'm still new in learning how to configure an OXO (release 6 version). I was hoping somebody can help me with my problem.
I'd like to know how I can use a remote OXO's trunks just by dialing from our main OXO connected via IP (such as VPN).
We have 2 small OXOs, one for our remote branch and one for our main office. Each has mixed boards (4 analog trunks, 8 analog phone sets, and 4 UA digital ports) installed. The main office OXO has 3 analog trunks connected to it while the remote OXO has one analog trunk.
We alaready have a working VPN link on both sites. Thanks to a Technical Communication Document (TC0584) I got from this site, I've managed to link the two OXOs together using an IP channel link. I can dial to a remote station from our main office using ARS.
The link for that document is here if anybody want to read it: viewtopic.php?f=66&t=1892
Here's the current setup.
Main OXO users are from 100-111 (base 100-111).
Remote OXO users are from 200-211 (base 200-211).
Following the documentation, I assigned in both sides the "Main Trunk Group" as ARS with digit 9. With 2 IP channels assigned for each site, I assigned those as VOIP trunks.
In main OXO, I set an ARS prefix of 2 substituted by 2 to dial to remote OXO's IP. In remote OXO, I added an ARS prefix of 1 and substituted by 1 to dial to main OXO's IP.
In main OXO's private dialing plans, I added users 100-111. In remote OXO's private dialing plan also, I added users 200-211.
With the setup above, for example, from a main OXO phone I'll just dial 9 and then 200 to call the remote OXO phone assigned as 200.
Now, I was hoping I could also directly use that one trunk in the remote OXO from the main OXO. In the remote OXO, I set up a secondary trunk group numbered 500 with one assigned analog trunk. From a remote OXO phone, if I dial 500, I can pickup a dial tone from that trunk.
I tried adding the secondary trunk group 500 as ARS in the remote OXO's private dialing plans. In the main OXO, I also added another ARS entry with prefix 5 substituted by 5 to also link through the IP trunk. So, from the main OXO, if I dial 9 then 500, I could not get the dial tone from the remote OXO trunk. Instead I only hear a ringing tone, which no one answers or doesn't seem to end. I can't dial out though.
Any idea where I could have gone wrong? Many thanks in advance.
