Dialing a Call to a 
Remote Office
You can dial calls between sites in your organization that are separated 
geographically but that are linked by a Wide Area Network (WAN) 
connection. Each site must have an NBX system. Typical configurations 
are described in the next sections.
Using Unique
Extensions
In the sample network shown in
everyone in the entire 
organization has a unique telephone extension. Whenever you make a 
call to an extension that is not located at your own site, your NBX system 
sets up a connection to the NBX system at the other extension’s site.
In this example, to call a user in Dallas, a user in Chicago dials a Dallas 
extension (3000 through 3999). The dial plan on the Chicago NBX system 
sets up the necessary connection to the Dallas NBX system and then to 
the extension at that site.
