Telephony connector settings
A telephony connector represents your organization's telephony
infrastructure (for example, a PBX or a gateway) within the
BlackBerry MVS environment. A telephony connector specifies the IP address and ports
that
BlackBerry MVS uses to connect to your telephony infrastructure for SIP
communications as well as parameters required for call control. You configure
telephony connectors through the
MVS
Console.

PBX.
|
|
Host Name
|

The default host name is the same as the IP address.
|
|
Line Port
|
This field specifies the UDP port number that the PBX
listens on for SIP communications that are made on the behalf of a specific
telephone extension within your organization. This is only required with some
PBX types.
This port communicates with the line port that is specified
on the Add MVS Server page.
The default port number is 5060.
|
|
Trunk Port
|
This field specifies the UDP port number that the PBX
listens on for general SIP communications.

on the Add MVS Server page.
The default port number is 6060.
|
|
Registration Timeout
|
This field specifies how frequently
BlackBerry devices register with the PBX.
The default registration timeout limit for the
BlackBerry Mobile Voice System is 1200 seconds.
|
|
Caller Identification Number
|
When PBX-initiated call direction is applied, the node initiates call setup of the media path to the BlackBerry device. The node must send the Caller Identification Number as the calling party number to identify that this is a BlackBerry MVS call.
Obtain this number from your organization's PBX
administrator.
|
Optional ANI numbers available for identifying BlackBerry MVS calls
|
This field specifies the optional ANI numbers for your organization's
PBX.
When the call direction for incoming calls or outgoing calls
is set to PBX-initiated, when the
MVS Session
Manager starts a call,
it sends the ANI number that is associated with the telephony connector as the
Caller Identification Number to the PBX. In some cases, the Caller Identification Number is lost and the the PBX can use the optional ANI numbers to communicate
with the
BlackBerry MVS Client that the call is from
the
BlackBerry MVS.

|
Location
|
The Location feature provides phone number normalization. The feature translates the globally unique E.164 number starting with a plus sign (+) to a locally significant number by stripping the plus sign (+) and adding International Direct Dial (IDD) or National Direct Dial (NDD) access codes corresponding to the PSTN dial plan for the selected location.
Normalization is applied to the called number of outgoing external calls that start with a plus sign. The 'called number' refers to a called number sent from the MVS Session
Manager to the PBX. 'Outgoing' means from the enterprise to the external network.
Use this feature when your organization's PBX does not support the plus sign or does not add the prefixes automatically.
