Supported scenarios include the following:
- An enterprise Office Communications Server user is able to
place a local or long distance outbound call to the public switched
telephone network (PSTN) by using a service provider Session
Initiation Protocol (SIP) trunk.
- An enterprise Office Communications Server user is able to
receive an inbound PSTN call to his/her Direct Inward Dialing (DID)
number by using a service provider SIP trunk. If the service
provider supports number portability, you can keep your
pre-existing DID.
- The Calling Party Number (that is, used to show caller ID) is
supplied (if allowed) for inbound and outbound calls.
- An active call can be placed on hold and off hold.
Any other scenario is outside the scope for the Office Communications Server 2007 R2 release. Some examples include the following:
- E.911 support for outbound calls.
- Invoking any service provider call conferencing functionality
over the SIP trunk. (This is separate from the conferencing
functionality provided by Office Communications Server.)
- Invoking any service provider call forwarding/redirect
functionality over the SIP trunk. (This is separate from the call
forwarding/redirect functionality provided by Office Communications
Server.)
