Define Locations
Location is a user and trunk group property, which groups together site-dependent parameters.
To define a location  
1 In the menu select “Locations”.
*The “Locations” list appears.
2 Click on the “Add Location” button.
*The “General” tab appears.
Label
Explanation
Name
Enter the name of the location. The name must be unambiguous within SwyxWare.
Description
Enter the name of the location and, if applicable, a brief description.
Time Zone
Select the time zone this location is assigned to.
The time zone is required for evaluating time-dependent restrictions, for example for routing.
Example
A Trunk Group (e. g. ISDN, Location Germany) is enabled only from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. If a user in England now calls at 7:15 p.m. local time a number in Germany (German local time 8:15 p.m.), the ISDN Trunk Group is disabled for this call.
Set as the “Default Location”
Activate the check box, if you would like the location you are creating to be used as the default for all users and trunk groups subsequently set up.
Maximum number of calls from/to this Location to other Locations (0 = no limit)
Enter the maximum number of connections for this location ( = no limit).
You can limit the number of possible connections between the two locations, in order to e. g. reserve bandwidth of this connection for other applications, too. As with the limitation of calls via a trunk, a bandwidth between 24 kbit/s (compressed) and 84 kbit/s (uncompressed) is required per call.
Connections are not only direct calls but also all connections to SwyxServer e. g. to a script. For instance, if you hold a call and start a second call, you have two connections to the SwyxServer.
3 Select the “Codes and Prefixes” tab.
Label
Explanation
Country Code
Enter your country code. For Germany, it is ‘49’.
Area Code
Enter your area code without the preceding ‘0’, for example ‘231’ for Dortmund or ‘40’ for Hamburg.
Prefix for international calls
Enter the code for international calls.
Prefix for long distance calls
Enter the digit(s) which must be dialled in order to make a long distance call. In Germany, the digit required for long distance calls is always '0'.
Public line access prefix(es)
This is the number that users must first dial in order to make external calls. Default value: '0'. You are able to enter several Public Line Accesses separated by a semicolon, e. g. to differentiate private and business calls using a different Public Line Access.
4 Click on the button to save the settings.
*The new Location appears in the list.
