Detailed Explanations The card and the PBX are connected with two VoIP gateway ports, each of which has two communications channels, in much the same way as an ISDN BRI port.
Page 29
2.2 Programming Example 1 The following configuration is used to dedicate two VoIP gateway ports (four channels) to route incoming calls to both extension groups A and B. When there are four incoming calls to extension group A in this configuration, no call can be routed to extension group B.
Page 30
2.2 Programming Example 2 The following configuration is used to dedicate a single VoIP gateway port (2 channels) to individual extension groups. Specifically, with this configuration, calls to extension group A are routed through the port 1, and calls to extension group B are routed through the port 2. This configuration rejects the third call to extension group A, while reserving the other port (the other two channels) through which to route calls to extension group B.
