Call remote station feature

Feature:	Global Number - AlphaNet
Default directory number:	None
Feature number:	83
Parameter 1:	1-254 = Node number of exchange to call.
Description:	Call a remote station or feature within an AlphaNet. A Global Number is a directory number which points to a station/feature in a remote exchange. The number is stored locally in each exchange including name, thus appearing in the name list. When dialling the Global Number the number is recognised locally, and the exchange establishes an AlphaNet audio link to the remote exchange, and dials the same directory number into the remote exchange, thus creating a conversation or activating a feature. The globally accessible station/feature must have the same directory number locally in it's own exchange. Application: When several AlphaComs form one huge exchange, each exchange behaves as if all stations were local. 1000 numbers covers 2 4-module exchanges, but it's possible to divide the system into more exchanges by deleting internal stations and replace the numbers with global numbers. In distributed exchanges normally using area codes, some important numbers can be made accessible directly from many/all exchanges. Typical usage is that dirno NNNN is defined as a Call local station feature in exhange XX. Then in all other exchanges, define dirno NNNN as Call remote station feature with Param = XX. The Cluster funtionality in AlphaPro can help you to manage Global Numbers, provided you manage all exchanges from the same AlphaPro database.
