A connection of ixi-UMS Business via IP can be realized via H.323 or SIP. The ixi-UMS Business Server hereby can initiate calls via a gateway or a gatekeeper / proxy. Requirements for the connection via VoIP in order to guarantee the functionality of the single services of ixi-UMS Business:

·Call number transfer to the ixi-UMS Business Server

For the operation of a server-based Unified Messaging Systems, the transfer of the recipient number and the sender number are relevant. With inbound calls, the call numbers are canonized by the ixi-UMS Business Server into a number in the international E.123 format according to ITU-T E.164 (international numbering plan).

In special cases, it may make sense to transfer the recipient number in international format. If so, this funktion must be aktivated in the ixi-UMS Business Server.

·Recipient number

The ixi-UMS Business recipient number should be transferred to the ixi-UMS Business Server as extension/MSN. The ixi-UMS Business Server completes this to an E.123-standard number.

·Sender number

With the use of H.323, the sender number information of the "NumberingPlan" (NP) and "TypeOfNumber" (ToN) sent to ixi-UMS Business from the PBX must be consistent with the format of the number itself.

Example:

A ixi-UMS message is received at the site in Munich from the sender number +49 89 123456. The transfer from the PBX / NTBA to ixi-UMS Business e.g. can be transferred via one of the following "information pairs" (NP/ToN):

NP ( NumberingPlan)	ToN (TypeOfNumber)	Transferred Number
unknown	unknown/ISDN-E.164	089123456
ISDN - E.164	unknown/ISDN-E.164	089123456
ISDN - E.164	unknown/ISDN-E.164	12345
ISDN - E.164	national	8912345
ISDN - E.164	subscriber	12345
ISDN - E.164	international	498912345

When a number NP or (and) ToN "Unknown" is signaled by the PBX or the outside line, the internal number conversion rules of the ixi-UMS Business Kernel are activated. If ""Remove outside line access" is selected, for example, the ixi-UMS Business Kernel can remove this. In every other case, these rules do not apply.

In the SIP-protocol, the fields "NP/ToN" do not exist. The call number format always is "unknown".

With the use of SIP, the ixi-UMS Business Kernel must be set up in dependence of the transferred call numbers. Recommended is the transfer of the recipient number as "extension" (DDI/MSN) and the sender number as national (089 598741) or international (0039 1 6554788), this means always with prefix.

·Redirecting and Redirection Number

When the ixi-UMS Business with the inbound routing option global "voice-mailbox number" (Route-by-Redirection) shall be used, this must be transferred to ixi-UMS Business as:

§with SIP: SIP Diversion Header

§with H.323: H.450.3
