I. Introduction.
This document will hopefully provide customers using, Quintum Tenors, the necessary
information (as an example) so that they will be able to configure their Tenor to originate or
terminate calls to/from a Cisco VoIP Gateway without the use of external Gatekeeper
registration.
In the following sections there will be sample applications along with sample configurations
for the Tenor. Where possible, we will also provide sample Cisco Dial Peers. Quintum,
however, cannot be responsible for configuring any Cisco equipment directly and can only
provide this information based on our current customers who are using Cisco.
This document is intended to be used by those technicians that have experience with both
Cisco and Quintum and only pertains to the Tenor analog and digital product line (excluding
the A200 and CMS).
The information provided here is only an example and your application requirements may be
different, but you should be able to use this as a guideline. Additionally, while some of the
configurations provide information on the line configurations (such as signaling and type,
etc.) the main focus is to provide the necessary information to route calls to/from a Cisco.
The connection after that may vary.
Finally, this document will provide 2 examples. The first is Cisco terminating VoIP to a
Tenor and the seconds is Tenor terminating VoIP to a Cisco. Each scenario is described in the
following sections.
II. Required Information.

Before setting up this application, or any other, there is always information that you should
gather so that you can be prepared and understand how you will need to configure your
Tenor, and your Cisco. For analog and digital Tenors, Quintum has a site survey form that
you may find useful (check our web site for these forms) otherwise, the following
information should be identified at a minimum;
• IP address of all devices (Tenors & Cisco, etc.)
• Audio codec/compression to be used.
• Dial/number patterns to be sent over IP.

• Dial/number patterns to be dialed out to PSTN.
• Disconnect supervision and answer supervision requirements.
• Digital line information (physical configuration and signaling requirements).

III. Cisco Terminating VoIP to Tenor(s) (CiscoàVoIPàTenor).
Figure 1
Application Description;
As shown in figure 1 above, this application will have a Cisco Gateway in New York (there
could be more there) and 3 Tenors in different countries. The Tenors are 2 analog A400s
(Romania & Egypt) and one D2400 (Portugal). This mix will help to provide additional
examples for future reference.
Each Tenor will be connected to the local phone company using either analog lines (A400
sites) or a T1 using ISDN signaling (Digital site).
The call flow will be calls from the Provider switch in New York will be sent to the Cisco and
the Cisco will route, using its dial peers, the call to the appropriate location. The Cisco will
route the calls using the number pattern of 0111 +countrycode +number. At each termination
country, the Tenor will make sure that the correct digits are dialed out to the local phone
company.
The Cisco will need to be configured to never allow more calls to any one site, than that site
can handle at one time. For example, send only 4 calls at a time to the A400s.
An audio codec of G.729 will be used for this network and answer supervision will be
provided by the Tenors at the termination side.
Finally, for VoIP security, the Tenors will be configured with IP allow tables so that only
those IP addresses configured will be allowed to make VoIP calls through the Tenor.
1 Sending the international prefix, or any non-E164 digit/character, is a violation of the H.323 specification. The Tenor can address
this in most cases. See Appendix for more information on the E.164 format as it relates to H.323.
Page 4 of 4
Tenor Configuration and Notes;
The following configuration information takes into consideration that the Tenor is at factory
default with no previous configuration loaded. Only the IP address, subnet mask and default
gateway are configured.
All configuration will be done from the Command Line Interface (CLI).
Not all configuration items are shown. Only those necessary to this application will be
shown. Additionally, if a command is shown with out any parameter, this means to enter the
command only so that any pre-configured setting will be deleted. For example, entering the
command “areacode” without any parameters will delete the set area code.
Finally, the following configurations are laid out so that an engineer/technician that has
experience with configuring Tenors will be able to understand this. If you have no
experience with configuring Tenors from the Command Line Interface, we suggest you
contact the QTAC for support.
Site A – Romania (Tenor A400)
Site A will have 4 analog lines connected from the local PSTN to its PSTN interface and will
use both our answer supervision software (P4-2-x) and forward disconnect (battery removal)
for disconnect supervision.
This site will terminate all calls to the 40 country code and with the city code of 232.
Prompt Command and Notes
Setting
config unit 1# online 1 Sets the Tenor online.
config sys# country 1 Sets Country to Canada (anything other than US will be fine).
countrycode Deletes the countrycode setting.
areacode Deletes the area code setting.
ldpref Deletes the long distance prefix.
intlpref 1 Deletes the international prefix in index 1.
maxdn 20 Sets the maximum digit length to 20 digits.
config pstntg 1# pass 0 Sets passthru to No so that if calls happen to come in to a
channel on this trunk group, they will not connect to
anything.
modem 0 Will disable the modem bypass setting.
chhunt 2 Sets the channel hunting to Ascending Round-Robin. This is
useful on analog so that the calls will hunt in a round-robin
fashion. This way if there is one line that is failing, it will only
be attempted 1 out of 4 times (or 8 if this were an A800). See
the CLI guide on this command for more information.
lampat 1 01140232 This sets the first lampattern (hop-off) to match on 01140232.
In this case, no replacement is necessary. When a call comes
in to this unit where the digits match this pattern, the
matching digits of the incoming call will be deleted from the
number and the remaining digits will be sent to the PSTN
lines. For example, if 011402321234567 were sent to this
Tenor, it would match the pattern of 01140232 and the
matching digits would be deleted. Only 1234567 would be
dialed to the PSTN. Only characters 0 through 9, *, # are
valid.
cassig 6 This sets the signaling to Loop Start with Forward Disconnect.
The Forward Disconnect is disconnect supervision based on
battery removal. The local PSTN must support this type of
disconnect supervision and use it when the far end hangs up
the phone. When this is done, the PSTN will remove the
battery from this line and we will disconnect the call. Check
with your PSTN provider on this.
supervision 2 This will enable software based answer supervision in
theTenor.
Page 5 of 5
theTenor.
answerdelay 45000 This will set 45000 milliseconds (45 seconds) the time the
Tenor will wait to use the software based answer supervision.
If the Tenor fails to detect voice after this time has run out, the
Tenor will consider the call connected.
NOTE: If the unit was at factory default, then all channels should be enabled already and no need to change the
channels.
config gkadmin# allow 1 Moves to the first allow group for VoIP restrictions based on
IP.
config gkadmin ip 192.168.10.10 Configures the first IP/gateway address allowed to this
allow 1# Tenors IP address. This must be done if you are going to use
the gkadmin area to restrict use by IP. The Tenors own IP
address must be included in the allow table.
mask 255.255.255.255 Sets the subnet to 255.255.255.255 so only the IP address of
this network is allowed.
config gkadmin ip 192.168.1.10 Sets the 2nd allow group to allow the IP address of the Cisco to
allow 2# send calls to this unit.
mask 255.255.255.255 Sets the subnet to 255.255.255.255 so that only the IP address
of that one Cisco is allowed. If there are more than one Cisco
on the same network, you could change the mask to
255.255.255.0.
config gksys# border 0 192.168.10.10 Sets the border element to the Tenor’s IP address.
config dsp# voice 68 Sets the voice audio codec/compression to G.729
config# sub Submits changes to Tenor.
Site B – Egypt(Tenor A400)

Site B will have 4 analog lines connected from the local PSTN to its PSTN interface and will
use both our answer supervision software (P4-2-x) and disconnect tone for disconnect
supervision.
This site will terminate all calls to the 20 country code.
Setting
anything.
lampat 1 01120 This sets the first lampattern (hop-off) to match on 01120. In
this case, no replacement is necessary. When a call comes in
to this unit where the digits match this pattern, the matching
digits of the incoming call will be deleted from the number
and the remaining digits will be sent to the PSTN lines. For
example, if 011202321234567 were sent to this Tenor, it would
match the pattern of 01120 and the matching digits would be
deleted. So only 321234567 would remain of the number
dialed. Only characters 0 through 9, *, # are valid.
lamrep 1 0 The lamrep will add digits to the number after the lampat
digits are deleted off. Using the example above, since
01120321234567 matched the above lampat, the digits 01120
Page 6 of 6
01120321234567 matched the above lampat, the digits 01120
would be deleted off leaving only 321234567. This lamrep
would then add 0 to the front of the number making it
0321234567 and these digits would be dialed to the PSTN.
cassig 1 This sets the signaling to Loop Start. This is standard
signaling for analog lines with no form of supervision (answer
or disconnect) set for this signaling.
supervision 3 This will enable software based answer supervision in the
Tenor as well as disconnect tone detection from the PSTN.
The disconnect tone detection is used when the PSTN will
send a tone to the Tenor to indicate that the far end has
disconnected the call. When set correctly, the Tenor will be
able to detect this and disconnect the line upon receiving the
tones.
answerdelay 45000 This will set 45000 milliseconds (45 seconds) the time the
Tenor will wait to use the software based answer supervision.
If the Tenor fails to detect voice after this time has run out, the
Tenor will consider the call connected.
channels.
IP.
255.255.255.0.
config# sub Submits changes to the Tenor.
Site C – Portugal(Tenor D3000)

Site C will have a E1 (only for example as Portugal may not actually use E1) line connected
from the local PSTN to its PSTN interface set as ISDN/PRI (ETSI signaling). Answer and
disconnect supervision on part of ISDN signaling and nothing specific need be done for this.
This site will terminate all calls to the 351 country code and with the city code of 96.
Setting
clock 0 Sets the Tenor to derive (take) clocking from the PSTN
interface. This is very important with digital lines (E1 & T1)
to have a single source for clocking. If clocking is not set
correctly you will experience poor voice quality.
anything.
Page 7 of 7
chhunt 0 Sets the channel hunting to Ascending. This is the normal
channel hunting for ISDN.
lampat 1 01135196 This sets the first lampattern (hop-off) to match on 01135196
In this case, no replacement is necessary. When a call comes
in to this unit where the digits match this pattern, the
matching digits of the incoming call will be deleted from the
number and the remaining digits will be sent to the PSTN
lines. For example, if 011351961234567 were sent to this
Tenor, it would match the pattern of 01135196 and the
matching digits would be deleted. So only 1234567 would
remain of the number dialed. Since there is no lamrep, then
1234567 would be dialed to the PSTN. Only characters 0
through 9, *, # are valid.
ccsorcas 0 This sets the PSTN trunkgroup to use CCS (ISDN) for
signaling.
channels.
config line 1 1# law 1 This sets the voice law on line 1 (PBX) to A-Law. Since this
country requires A-Law, you must set this Tenor for A-law.
Additionally, even though we are not using the PBX interface,
the law must be configured the same in both the PBX and
PSTN interface or there will be problems.
t1ore1 1 Sets the line of the PXB interface to an E1.
linecode 2 Sets the E1 line code to HDB3.
crc 0 Sets the CRC for the E1 to No.
config line 1 2# law 1 This sets the voice law on line 2 (PSTN) to A-Law. Since this
As indicated above, the law for both line 1 1 and line 1 2 must
be the same or you will experience poor voice quality.
t1ore1 1 Sets the line of the PSTNinterface to an E1.
linecode 2 Sets the E1 line code to HDB3. You will need to check with
your PSTN provider to verify this setting.
crc 0 Sets the CRC for the E1 to No. Again, this is a setting that you
need to verify with your PSTN provider for this line.
config signaling name PSTN_ISDN_01 Enables ISDN signaling group 2 with a name of
2# PSTN_ISDN_01
isdnprot 5 Sets the ISDN signaling type to ETSI. Check with your PSTN
provider to verify this setting.
orientation 0 Sets the orientation of the ISDN on the Tenor to User side.
This is typically correct when connected to the PSTN as the
PSTN will be network side. If you are connecting to a switch
at your location, you may need to check with your switch
settings for this as the Tenor should be set opposite of what it
is connecting to.
dchnum 16 Sets the D-channel (ISDN signaling channel) to channel 16 on
the E1. E1s always use channel 16 for the D-channel while
T1’s use channel 24 when set for ISDN.
fasunit 1 Sets the unit id to 1. Anywhere in the Tenor where you see
unit, it will always be 1.
fasline 2 Sets the ISDN line to line 2 (PSTN). This allows this signaling
group to be associated with the PSTN interface.
NOTE: You may need to go back to the pstntg and enable all the channels now, since changing from T1 to E1 may
not add the additional 6 channels. The command to do this is ena 1 a.

NOTE: Since the law was changed from U-law to A-law, you will need to reset the Tenor AFTER you have
submitted the changes.
Cisco Dial Peer Examples.

The following dial peer examples are based on information from existing Quintum customers
who are using Cisco to originate traffic to Tenors as the above examples show. Quintum
cannot configure a customer’s Cisco equipment and we can not guarantee that the dial peers
listed below will work in all occasions. As always, you should verify these settings with
Cisco.
Dial Peer to Site A – Romania

The following sample dial peer will allow any calls that begin with 01140232 + 6 digits to be
sent to 192.168.10.10 with a codec of G.729.
dial-peer voice 300 voip
destination-pattern 01140232......
session target ipv4:192.168.10.10
codec g729r8 bytes 30
Dial Peer to Site B – Egypt

The following sample dial peer will allow any calls that begin with 01120 + any number of
digits, to be sent to 192.168.20.10 with a codec of G.729
destination-pattern 01120T
Dial Peer to Site C – Portugal
The following sample dial peer will allow any calls that begin with 01135196 + any digits to
be sent to 192.168.30.10 with a codec of G.729.
destination-pattern 01135196T.
Cisco GWà Tenor GW Summary
Using the configuration above as an example, you should find it relatively easy to configure
the Tenor to receive a call from a Cisco and terminate it to the local PSTN lines.

IV. Tenor Terminating calls to Cisco Gateway
Figure 2
Application Description;
As shown in figure 2 above, this application will have a Cisco Gateway in New York that will
receive traffic from IP (from Tenors) in Morocco and Taiwan. The Tenor in Morocco is a
digital Tenor with an E1 connection (ISDN) and the Tenor in Taiwan is an A400 with 4 lines
from the local pstn.
In Morocco, calls will come in to the D3000 with the digits of 001xxxxxxxxxx2 and we will
pass these digits over IP to the Cisco (001xxxxxxx).
For Taiwan, we will use 2nd dialtone and simple Pincode verification to allow incoming calls
from PSTN to get a dial tone and then dial 1xxxxxxxxxx. The Tenor will then need to add 00
to the front of the number to send the call to the Cisco.
An audio codec of G.729 will be used for this application.
The Tenors will be configured not to accept any calls from IP for this application.
Unfortunately, Quintum does not have a sample Cisco dial peer to address this application.
Please contact Cisco to get the correct parameters on this.
Tenor Configuration and Notes;
The following configuration information takes into consideration that the Tenor is at factory
default with no previous configuration loaded. Only the IP address, subnet mask and default
gateway are configured.
All configuration will be done from the Command Line Interface (CLI).
Not all configuration items are shown. Only those necessary to this application will be
shown. Additionally, if a command is shown with out any parameter, this means to enter the
command only so that any pre-configured setting will be deleted. For example, entering the
command “areacode” without any parameters will delete the set area code.
2 Sending the international prefix, or any non-E164 digit/character, is a violation of the H.323 specification. The Tenor can address
this in most cases. See Appendix for more information on the E.164 format as it relates to H.323.
Page 10 of 10
Finally, the following configurations are laid out so that an engineer/technician that has
experience with configuring Tenors will be able to understand this. If you have no
experience with configuring Tenors from the Command Line Interface, we suggest you
contact the QTAC for support.
Site A – Morocco(Tenor D3000)
Site Awill have a E1 line connected from the local PSTN to its PSTN interface set as
ISDN/PRI (ETSI signaling). Answer and disconnect supervision on part of ISDN signaling
and nothing specific need be done for this.
This site will receive calls from this E1 line that will have the digits 001xxxxxxxxxx and these
calls will need to be forwarded to the Cisco in New York with the 001 digits.
Prompt Command and Setting Notes
clock 0 Sets the Tenor to derive (take) clocking from the PSTN
interface. This is very important with digital lines (E1 & T1)
to have a single source for clocking. If clocking is not set
correctly you will experience poor voice quality.
config pstntg 1# pass 0 Sets passthru to No so that incoming calls will be routed over
IP. If this was set to 1 (for Yes), then all incoming calls would
be unconditionally routed to the PBX trunk group.
chhunt 0 Sets the channel hunting to Ascending. This is the normal
channel hunting for ISDN.
direction 0 Sets the call direction to incoming only on this trunk group. It
will not allow any outgoing calls.
ccsorcas 0 This sets the PSTN trunkgroup to use CCS (ISDN) for
signaling.

This is typically correct when connected to the PSTN as the
PSTN will be network side. If you are connecting to a switch
Page 11 of 11
settings for this as the Tenor should be set opposite of what it
is connecting to.
dchnum 16 Sets the D-channel (ISDN signaling channel) to channel 16 on
the E1. E1s always use channel 16 for the D-channel while
T1’s use channel 24 when set for ISDN.
fasunit 1 Sets the unit id to 1. Anywhere in the Tenor where you see
unit, it will always be 1.
fasline 2 Sets the ISDN line to line 2 (PSTN). This allows this signaling
group to be associated with the PSTN interface.
NOTE: You may need to go back to the pstntg and enable all the channels now, since changing from T1 to E1 may not
add the additional 6 channels. The command to do this is ena 1 a.
config be# sroute 1 Creates and brings you to the first static route group.
config be sroute 1# route NY_Cisco Sets the route name to NY_Cisco
callsig 192.168.1.10 Sets the static route destination to the IP address of the Cisco.
dn 1 001* 0 0 2 Sets the 1st dn pattern to send any call that begins with 001,
hat is a public number (1st 0) set as a local dn (2nd 0) and has a
routing priority of 2. Quintum recommends that when
building sroutes to non-Tenor equipment, that you set the
number type to LDN as this will be the simplest way to route
calls. If this route was to another Tenor, then you could pick
whether it is an LDN or LAM. The priority is normally set to
2 for LDNs and 1 for LAMs (1 being a lower priority). The
priority will help in providing routes where the number
pattern is the same, but you want all calls to go to one
destination before going to the next.
gkmode 0 This sets the type of route to a Gateway Destination. If you
wanted to have a route between 2 Gatekeepers, then you
would set this to 1 for LRQ route between Gatekeepers.
config# sub Submits training
NOTE: Since the law was changed from U-law to A-law, you will need to reset the Tenor AFTER you have
submitted the changes.
Site B – Taiwan (Tenor A400)

Site B will have 4 analog lines connected from the local PSTN to its PSTN interface. Calls
will come in to the Tenor from the PSTN, get a “beep” tone to enter a 8 digit pin that must
begin with 8345 and then receive 2nd dialtone and then dial 1xxxxxxxxxx. The Tenor will
then add 00 to the front of the number and send 001xxxxxxxxxx to the Cisco in NY.
Setting
config pstntg 1# pass 0 Sets passthru to No so that incoming calls will be routed over
IP. If this was set to 1 (for Yes), then all incoming calls would
be unconditionally routed to the PBX trunk group.
dir 0 Sets the call direction to incoming only on this trunk group. It
will not allow any outgoing calls.
Page 12 of 12
ivrtype 1 Sets the IVRtype to 2nd dialtone. This will provide a 2nd
dialtone to incoming calls.
pin 8345xxxx This sets the pincode for the 2nd dialtone to any 8 digit number
beginning with 8345. When a user dials in to the PSTN
interface, they will hear a beep tone. When they here this they
must enter the correct pin code. If they enter a wrong
pincode, they will hear a busy signal and get disconnected.
cassig 6 This sets the signaling to Loop Start with forward disconnect.
With this setting, the Tenor will recognize the removal of
battery that is sent by the PSTN to indicate that the call is
disconnected. The PSTN must support this type of disconnect
supervision.

config gksys# border 0 Sets the border element to the Tenor’s IP address.
192.168.20.10
config iptg# outpref 00 This will add the digits 00 to the front of all dialed numbers
going to IP. This will also change the number from public to
private for routing purposes and we must address this in the
routing configuration.
config be sroute 1# route NY_Cisco Sets the route name to NY_Cisco
callsig 192.168.1.10 Sets the static route destination to the IP address of the Cisco.
dn 1 001* 0 0 2 Sets the 1st dn pattern to send any call that begins with 001,
hat is a public number (1st 0) set as a local dn (2nd 0) and has a
routing priority of 2. Quintum recommends that when
building sroutes to non-Tenor equipment, that you set the

priority will help in providing routes where the number
pattern is the same, but you want all calls to go to one
destination before going to the next.
dn 2 001* 1 0 2 Sets the 2nd dn pattern to a private number beginning with 001
and a priority of 2. This private dn is needed because anytime
you prefix digits on the outgoing of the Tenor (iptg# outpref),
the number gets changed from a public number to a private
number.
gkmode 0 This sets the type of route to a Gateway Destination. If you
wanted to have a route between 2 Gatekeepers, then you
would set this to 1 for LRQ route between Gatekeepers.
config# sub Submits changes to the Tenor.

V. Summary.
The above applications/configuration do provide some standard examples to be able to
originate and terminate calls to/from Cisco when using a Quintum Tenor (except A200 and
CMS). There are many other ways that this could be done, but this will provide you
information to get you started.
As always, if you require additional information, please contact your Quintum VAR or
Quintum Technical Assistance Center.

Use of E.164 and ISO/IEC 11571 Numbering Plans
V.1 E.164 Numbering plan
ITU-T Recommendation defines E.164 numbers the following way for geographic areas:
Figure V.1/H.323 - International public telecommunication number structure for geographic areas
Similar descriptions are also defined for non-geographic areas. Recommendation E.164 further defines
country codes (CC) for all the countries and regions of the world.
An international E.164 number always starts with a country code and its total length is always 15 digits or
less. More importantly, it does not include any prefixes that are part of a dialing plan (for example, “011
for an international call placed in North America, or “1” for a long-distance call), nor does it include “#”
or “*”. The number “49 30 345 67 00” is a n E.164 number with CC=49 for Germany. A national number
is the international number stripped of the country code, “30 345 67 00” in this case. The subscriber
number is the national number stripped of the national destination code, “345 67 00” in this case.
An E.164 number has global significance: E.164 number can be reached from any location in the world.
A “dialed digit sequence”, however, only has significance within a specific domain. Within a typical
private numbering plan in an enterprise, for example, a prefix, such as “9”, may indicate that a call goes
“outside”, at which point the local telephone company’s dialing plan takes over. Each telephone
company or private network is free to choose its own dialing plan. It is also free to change it as it pleases
– an frequently does so (adding new area codes, for example).
In a typical geographically determined network where user input telephone numbers manually and
where user do not travel too much, having different dialing plans everywhere is usually a problem.
However, when a user travels, the user must determine the other network’s numbering plan in order to
place calls. When computer systems perform the dialing automatically, the user is usually required to
customize the dialing software for every region or network.
Because of these issues with varying dialing plans and automated dialing, it is essential to be able to refer
to an absolute “telephone number” instead of “what you have to dial to reach it from a specific location.”
Proper usage of E.164 numbers can resolve these issues. Many systems use E.164 numbers instead of
dialed digits: for example, a PBX may gather the dialed digits from a user on a telephone and then
initiate a call to the local phone company using an E.164 number in the Called Party Number information
element in Q.931. When completing the Called Party Number IE< specifying the numbering plan as
“ISDN/telephony numbering plan (Recommendation E.164)” indicates an E.164 number. Specifying the
type of number as “unknown” and specifying the numbering plan as “unknown” indicates dialed digits.
The following are a set of definitions from E.164:
Page 15 of 15
Number - A string of decimal digits that uniquely indicates the public network termination point. The
number contains the information necessary to route the call to this termination point.
A number can be in a format determined nationally or in an international format. The international
format is known as the International Public Telecommunication Number which includes the country code
and subsequent digits, but no the international prefix.
Numbering plan - A numbering plan specifies the format and structure of the numbers used within that
plan. It typically consists of decimal digits segmented into groups in order to identify specific elements
used for identification, routing and charging capabilities, e.g. within E.164 to identify countries, national
destinations, and subscribers.
A numbering plan does not include prefixes, suffixes, and additional information required to complete a
call.
The national numbering plan is the national implementation of the E.164 numbering plan.
Dialing plan - A string or combination of decimal digits, symbols, and additional information that define
the method by which the numbering plan is used. A dialing plan includes the use of prefixes, suffixes,
and additional information, supplemental to the numbering plan, required to complete the call.
Address
A string or combination of decimal digits, symbols, and additional information which identifies the
specific termination point(s) of a connection in a public network(s) or, where applicable, in
interconnected private network(s).
Prefix
A prefix is an indicator consisting of one or more digits, that allows the selection of different types of
number formats, networks and/or service.
International prefix - A digit or combination of digits used to indicate that the number following is an
International Public Telecommunication Number.
Country code (CC) for geographic areas - The combination of one, two or three digits identifying a
specific country, countries in an integrated number plan, or a specific geographic area.
National (significant) number [N(S)N]
That portion of the number that follows the country code for geographic areas. The national (significant)
number consists of the National Destination Code (NDC) followed by the Subscriber Number (SN). The
function and format of the N(S)N is nationally determined.
National destination code (NDC)
A nationally optional code field, within the E.164 numbering plan, which combined with the Subscriber’s
Number (SN) will constitute the national (significant) number of the international public
telecommunication number for geographic areas. The NDC will have a network and/or trunk code
selection function.
The NDC can be a decimal digit or a combination of decimal digits (not including any prefix) identifying
a numbering area within a country (or group of countries included in one integrated numbering plan or a
specific geographic area) and/or network/services.
National (trunk) prefix
A digit or combination of digits used by a calling subscriber, making a call to a subscriber in his own
country but outside his own numbering area. It provides access to the automatic outgoing trunk
equipment.
Subscriber number (SN)
The number identifying a subscriber in a network or numbering area.
V.2 Private Network Number
Private Network Numbers are used in a private or virtual private telephony networks, e.g., a corporate
network of PBXs and virtual private lines.
Page 16 of 16
ISO/IEC 11571 defines Private Network Number (PNP) as having up to three regional levels.
A PNP number shall comprise a sequence of x decimal digits (0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9) with the possibility that
different PNP numbers within the same PNP can have different values of x. Then maximum value of x
shall be the same as for the public ISDN numbering plan, see ITU-T Recommendation E.164.
Level 2 Regional Number Level 1 Regional Number Level 0 Regional Number
Figure V.2/H.323 – Structure of a PNP number with three levels of regions

A level n Regional Number (RN) shall have significance only within the level n region to which it applies.
When that number is used outside that level n region, it shall be in the form of an RN of level greater than
n. Only a Complete Number shall have significance throughout the entire PNP.
A typical example in North America would be a 4-digit “extension” as the Level 0 Regional Number: a 3-
digit “location code” combined with the 4 digit “extension” would form the Level 1 Regional Number.
The Level 2 Regional Number would be nil.
A prefix could also be used to signal which regional number is used, and would not be part of the
regional number per se, but only part of the dialing plan. Again, a typical example would be the use of
digit “6” to access a Level 1 Regional Number, and no digit for a Level 0 Regional Number.
The following are a set of definitions from ISO/IEC 11571:
Private Numbering Plan (PNP)
The numbering plan explicitly relating to a particular private numbering domain, defined by the PISN
Administrator of that domain.
Region
The entire domain or a sub-domain of a PNP. A region does not necessarily correspond to a geographical
area of PISN.
Regional Number (RN)
A particular form of a PNP Number which is unambiguous in the region concerned.
Complete Number
A number which is unambiguous in the entire PNP, i.e. which corresponds to the highest regional level
employed in that PISN.
V.3 H.323 version 1, 2 and 3 usage
H.323 version 1, 2 and 3 systems had a terminology problem with respect to dialed digits and real E.164
numbers. References to E.164 addresses in those version actually referred to dialed digits and not E.164
digits, as the names of the fields implied. In H.323 versions 2 and 3 systems, a real E.164 number was
placed in the publicNumber field and not in the e164 field. The e164 field thus corresponded to a dialed
digits sequence.
Beginning with H.323 Version 4 systems, the field e164 was renamed to dialedDigits and the field
publicNumber was renamed to e164Number. The name change was intended to more explicitly convey
that dialed digits shall be stored in the dialedDigits field and the E.164 numbers shall be stored in the
e164Number field.
