Dialogic M7324 Manual Do Utilizador

Called number ID is also a feature provided within a PBX system and is usually 
combined with the calling number ID. Called number ID is the phone number of 
the extension being called. If a call originates from outside the PBX, it is the 
number of the trunk receiving the call. The called/calling number ID remains the 
same when a call is routed through the PBX system. 

For example, if a call has been routed through the PBX because the first intended 
extension was not answered or was busy, the final destination answering the call 
can determine the extension that called, plus the extension that was originally 
called. 

Called number ID can also be used by an application to automatically direct a call 
to an appropriate extension or group of extensions based on the number called 
(generally the last four digits). 

For example, an application may provide specific information about four different 
programs through an interactive voice response (IVR) system. Depending on the 
phone number being called, the application can route the caller directly to the 
desired program: 

Program A: 555-1202 (trunk 01) 
Program B: 555-1203 (trunk 02) 
Program C: 555-1205 (trunk 03) 
Program D: 555-1200 (trunk 04) 

Through use of a Dialogic

API, an application can read the called number ID (the trunk line) and route the 
call depending on which extension receives the call. If the call is received on 
trunk line 01 it will be routed to the extension for Program A. Without access to 
the called number ID information, callers would need to listen to a list of prompts 
to obtain the four digit extension code to access Program A.
