Each zone is able to act as a independent virtual PBX or you can link zones together via friendships and create zones which act more like class of service. Let zones act like virtual PBX as a service provider you can run multiple system off a single Synergy-IPV box while not having to worry about reusing extension, number, ring plans etc. as each zone is a independent virtual PBX. Or you can use the zone to break up a large company into more manageable sections by treating each zone as a class of service or department.. Make as many zones are you want as they are a non licensed feature.

Access Codes:
Access codes provide a system by which you can further lock down who can dial local/ 10 digit, long distance and international calls by requiring the use of a code prefix before the number is dialed. If you are going to use access codes you should leave the outgoing route unchecked in the outgoing call access tab for the zone. If you have a outgoing route checked and a access code(s) set for the same route the user will be able to call with or without the access code prefix.
Each access code has the following settings:
Value | |
---|---|
Code |
The code must be prefixed before the number dialed for a given route (local/10 digit, Long Distance or International) |
Name |
Just for noting who each code is assigned to |
Local |
be used for local/10 digit dialing |
Long Distance |
Setting this to “yes” will enable the access code tobe used for long distance dialing. |
International |
Setting this to “yes” will enable the access code to be used for international dialing. |
Note: If you wish to require an access code for toll free number leave it unchecked in the outgoing access tab and create access code with long distance set to yes.
