Location Name

Use this page to name the new location and enter a description.

Location Name

Enter a name for the location, i.e., "HQ".

Description

Enter a description for the location, i.e., "Indianapolis Headquarters".

Time Zone

Select time zone for this location from the pull-down menu. The time zones listed are the same as Windows time zones. The managed IP phones in this location use the time zone to set the daylight saving time information.

SNTP Server

Managed IP phones in this location use this server to request the time. Select Use IC server to use the CIC server as the SNTP server or select Other and enter the SNTP server IP address.

Enable Regional Dialing

Select this check box to allow dialing of short extensions within the same location. When selected, the Significant Digits setting is enabled. By default, this option is not enabled.

Example:

Station A in Location "Indianapolis" has an extension of 1500
Station B in Location "Indianapolis" has an extension of 1600

If the Enable Regional Dialing check box is selected in the Location "Indianapolis" the Significant Digits are set to "3", Station A can reach Station B by dialing 600, and Station B can reach Station A by dialing 500.

This feature is not limited to stations. All objects that can be assigned an extension, including users (through the default workstation for the user) and IP phones, as well as stations, are included in the scope of this feature.

Significant Digits

When the Enable Regional Dialing option is selected, the Significant Digits option can be set. By default, the value is 4 digits. A value of 0 means that no number of (or zero) digits are significant, therefore regional dialing is not truly enabled. Set the value to 3 to make the last three digits of an extension significant, set the value to 2 to make the last two digits significant, etc. See the example above.

Note: If changing the significant digit setting on a location creates an extension conflict, i.e., using the example above and setting the significant digits to "2", a conflict would exist between Station A (00) and Station B (00). If the system detects a conflict, a message is displayed listing duplicate extensions. For later reference to help with conflict resolution, click Copy to Clipboard to copy the listing, and then paste the content to a program that supports CSV (comma-separated value) format (like Microsoft Excel).
