MultiVOIP Phonebooks 
When a VoIP serves a PBX system, it’s important that the operation of 
the VoIP be transparent to the telephone end user.  That is, the VoIP 
should not entail the dialing of extra digits to reach users elsewhere on 
the network that the VoIP serves.  On the contrary, VOIP service more 
commonly reduces dialed digits by allowing users (served by PBXs in 
facilities in distant cities) to dial their co-workers with 3-, 4-, or 5-digit 
extensions as if they were in the same facility. 
Furthermore, the setup of the VoIP generally should allow users to 
make calls on a non-toll basis to any numbers accessible without toll  by 
users at all other locations on the VoIP system.  Consider, for example, 
a company with VOIP-equipped offices in New York, Miami, and Los 
Angeles, each served by its own PBX.  When the VOIP phone books are 
set correctly, personnel in the Miami office should be able to make calls 
without toll not only to the company’s offices in New York and Los 
Angeles, but also to any number that’s local in those two cities.  
To achieve transparency of the VoIP telephony system and to give full 
access to all types of non-toll calls made possible by the VOIP system, 
the VoIP administrator must properly configure the “Outbound” and 
“Inbound” phone-books of each VoIP in the system. 
The “Outbound” phonebook for a particular VoIP unit describes the 
dialing sequences required for a call to originate locally (typically in a 
PBX in a particular facility) and reach any of its possible destinations at 
remote VoIP sites, including non-toll calls completed in the PSTN at the 
remote site. 
The “Inbound” phonebook for a particular VoIP unit describes the 
dialing sequences required for a call to originate remotely from any 
other VOIP sites in the system, and to terminate on that particular 
VOIP. 
Briefly stated, the MultiVOIP’s Outbound phonebook lists the phone stations 
it can call; its Inbound phonebook describes the dialing sequences that can be 
used to call that MultiVOIP and how those calls will be directed. 
(Of course, 
the phone numbers are not literally “listed” individually, but are, 
instead, described by rule.) 
Consider two types of calls in the three-city system described above:  
(1) calls originating from the Miami office and terminating in the New 
York (Manhattan) office, and (2) calls originating from the Miami office 
and terminating in New York City but off the company’s premises in an
