3.2.2 Trunks
Figure 3-5
Edit PSTN TrunkFXO Port On PSTN Trunk administration page, click ‘Edit’ on selected trunk and modify information on prompt window: 1General
·Trunk Name
A unique label to help you identify this trunk when listed in outbound rules, incoming rules etc. Ex: 'Port 5'
·Audio Setting
Normally you should not have to adjust your analog ports beyond the initial calibration. Should you still need to fine tune your audio settings, please use the adjustments. 2Advanced Options
·Busy Detection
Busy Detection is used to detect far end hang up or for detecting busy signal. Enable to turn this feature on.
·Busy Count
If Busy Detection is enabled, it is also possible to specify how many busy tones
www.yeastar.com Page 15
to wait for before hanging up. The default is 4, but better results can be achieved if set to 6 or even 8. Mind that the higher the number, the more time that will be needed to hangup a channel, but lowers the probability that you will get random hangups.
·Busy Pattern
If Busy Detection is enabled, it is also possible to specify the cadence of your busy signal. In many countries, it is 500msec on, 500msec off. Without Busy Pattern specified, BizFAX will accept any regular sound-silence pattern that repeats <Busy Count> times as a busy signal. If you specify Busy Pattern, then BizFAX will further check the length of the sound (tone) and silence, which will further reduce the chance of a false positive.
·Caller ID Start
This option allows one to define the start of a Caller ID signal: Ring, to start when a ring is received (Caller ID Signaling: Bell_USA, DTMF). Polarity, to start when a polarity reversal is started (Caller ID Signaling: V23_UK, V23_JP, DTMF). Before Ring, to start before a ring is received (Caller ID Signaling: DTMF).
·Caller ID Signaling
This option defines the type of Caller ID signaling to use: bell (bell202 as used in the United States), v23_UK (as used in the UK), v23_JP (as used in Japan), or dtmf (as used in Denmark, Sweden, and Holland).

3.2.3 Outbound Routes
Outbound routing mainly works for guides outgoing calls to go through trunks.

www.yeastar.com Page 17
Figure 3-7
3.2.3.1 Create Outbound Route
Click ‘New Outbound Route’ and fill in the responding information on prompt window. 1General
·Route Name
Name of this Outbound Route. Ex: 'Local' or 'LongDistance' etc.
·Dial Pattern
In dial patterns, some characters have special meanings:
X ... Any Digit from 0-9 Z ... Any Digit from 1-9 N ... Any Digit from 2-9 [12345-9] ... Any Digit in the brackets (in this example, 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9)
. ... Wildcard, Matches Anything Remaining; i.e. 9011. Matches anything
starting with 9011 (excluding 9011 itself) ! ... Wildcard, causes the matching process to complete as soon as it can unambiguously determine that no other matches are possible. For example, NXXXXXX would match normal 7 digit dialings, while 1NXXNXXXXX would represent a three digit area code plus phone number,
proceeded by a one.
·Strip
Allows the user to specify the number of digits that will be stripped from the front of the dialing string before the call is placed via the trunk selected in ‘Use Trunk’ One might; for example, want users to dial 9 before their long distance calls; however one does not dial 9 before those calls are placed onto analog lines and the PSTN, so one should strip 1 digit from the front before the call is placed.
·Prepend digits before dialing
Allows the user to specify digits that are prepend before the call is placed via t he trunk. If a user's trunk required 10 digit dialing, but users were more comfortable performing 7 digit dialing, this field could be used to prepend a 3 digit area code to all 7 digit strings before they are placed to the trunk. User may also prepend a 'w' character for analog trunks to provide a slight delay before dialing
·Calls From Extensions
Defines the Extension that calls, matching the specified pattern, will be placed through.
·Make Outbound Calls on Trunk
Defines the Trunk that calls, matching the specified pattern, will be placed through.
