necessary ISDN calls. In addition, the address book supports mixed gateway and IP calls.
IP-Only Sites
For a system to be truly IP-only, it must not have a V.35 or ISDN module connected to it.
The system works differently if you simply disable ISDN as a call preference type.

Differences in Dialing Addresses
The difference between a gateway call and an ordinary IP call is that in a gateway call, the
system attempts to prefix a number(s) to the ISDN number. When the dialing address
arrives at the gateway, the gateway can use the prefix to determine what call rate to dial.
With gateways you can also use E.164 addresses, which can appear to look exactly like
ISDN addresses, or an IP alias. This alias can be all alphabetic characters, and the
gatekeeper resolves the IP address in order to call the far site.

One Dial Preferences
The Primary Call Type can be ISDN, IP, or Manual, and the Secondary Call Type can be
ISDN, IP, or None. These settings affect ISDN/IP rollover scenarios. ISDN/IP rollover
occurs in the Manual Dialer when the call type is set to Auto and when dialing a single
address book entry with both protocol types filled in. In these scenarios, the system uses
the One Dial Preferences to decide what type of call to dial first based on the Primary Call
Choice

Primary Call Choice
is set to Manual, the call protocol should default to ISDN for the
manually dialed calls and the user should be prompted for address book dialed calls.
ISDN/IP rollover will never occur in a multipoint address book entry; however,
gateway-to-ISDN rollover described in the next section will occur.
