2 Special Notes

This section describes limitations and special considerations when using the Synapse
SB67070 SIP Gateway with the IP Flexible Reach Service.

2.1 Emergency 911/E911 Services Limitations and Restrictions

Although AT&T provides 911/E911 calling capabilities, AT&T does not warrant or represent
that the equipment and software (e.g., IP PBX) reviewed in this customer configuration
guide will properly operate with AT&T IP Flexible Reach to complete 911/E911 calls;
therefore, it is the Customer’s responsibility to ensure proper operation with its
equipment/software vendor.

While AT&T IP Flexible Reach services support E911/911 calling capabilities under certain
Calling Plans, there are circumstances when that E911/911 service may not be available, as
stated in the Service Guide for AT&T IP Flexible Reach found at

http://new.serviceguide.att.com

relocation of the end user’s CPE, use of a non-native or virtual telephone number, failure in
the broadband connection, loss of electrical power, and delays that may occur in updating
the Customer’s location in the automatic location information database. Please review the
AT&T IP Flexible Reach Service Guide in detail to understand the limitations and restrictions.

. Such circumstances include, but are not limited to,

.

NOTE: N11 (including 911) calls are not supported unless AT&T IP Flexible Reach Local
Service is ordered!!!

2.2 Special Notes/Unsupported SIP Features

 Passing Calling Number marked private
 T.38 Fax and Super G3 fax machines
 SIP Diversion information. Call forwarding is supported within the Synapse PBX. Caller

ID information for the forwarded call is not retained. The caller does not receive an
indication that the call was forwarded.

 Transferred calls will be looped through the Synapse IP PBX for the duration of the call

and will occupy two trunks. Synapse does not use SIP REFER to handle transferred
calls.

3 Overview

This configuration guide assumes that your Synapse system is installed and that users are
able to make internal (Deskset to Deskset) calls. A Synapse System must include one of
more of the following devices:

 Desksets (SB67030/031 and/or SB67020 Desksets). The system supports up to 100

Desksets.

 Gateways. At least one Gateway must be installed. The system supports up to four

SB67010 PSTN Gateways, one SB67060 T1 Gateway, and one SB67070 SIP Gateway.
You can install any combination of Gateway models in a system, as long as you do not
exceed the supported number of each Gateway model.

For more information, see Figure 1: Sample Synapse System.

later).

Page 5 of 16

3.3 Call Flow

Inbound Call Flow:

1. A PSTN phone originates a call to an AT&T IP Flexible Reach service number.

2. The PSTN routes the call to the AT&T IP Flexible Reach service network.

3. The AT&T IP Flexible Reach service routes the call to Synapse System at Customer Site.

4. Synapse System applies any necessary digit manipulations based upon the DID and
routes the call to a hunt group, phone or a fax endpoint.

Outbound Call Flow:

1. Synapse System phone or fax endpoint originates a call for delivery to AT&T IP Flexible
Reach service network.

2. Synapse System applies any necessary origination treatment (verifying permissions,
determining the proper route, selecting the outgoing trunk, etc.) and routes the call to
AT&T IP Flexible Reach service network.

3. The AT&T IP Flexible Reach service network delivers the call to PSTN.

4. PSTN delivers the call to a phone or fax en dpoint.
