Dialing Translation is a process where the number of an incoming call from a public network translates through a translation table into a number that is recognized and dialed on the local network using the Reply feature. The Reply feature is used when subscribers reply to a message, either by pressing a Reply display button or responding to a voice prompt.
For Dialing Translation to occur, you must create a Dialing Translation Table that translates the digits of an external number into a number that can be dialed by CallPilot. CallPilot consults the restrictions and schedules tables before dialing the number.
Dialing Translation Tables are necessary only for the Reply feature. CallPilot does not require the tables to function normally.
You can create a Dialing Translation Table if:
You use Fax On Demand mailboxes that use the Two-Call delivery method
You use CLID. Subscribers can use the Reply feature to reply to CLID calls
You use AMIS networking. See the CallPilot Message Networking Set Up and Operation Guide for more information.
