Reference:Administration/PBX/Objects

All objects configured on the PBX are listed here. It is possible to display individual, several or all objects. To display one or more objects, you must enter the object’s name (Long Name) or first letter in the field, and then click show. Clicking show without entering a character string or letter displays all created objects.

The display of the PBX objects is organised in columns. For a more detailed description of the individual columns, please refer to the description of the standard entry fields further down in the text.

• Long Name: The long name of the object.
• Name: The name of the object.
• No: The call number of the object.
• Node: The node that the object is assigned to.
• PBX: The PBX that an object is assigned to.
• Filter: Display of the filters that were created for the relevant object. See chapter entitled "Administration/PBX/Filter".
• Groups: Display of the group(s) that the object belongs to. Clicking the link + or an existing group name opens a popup page, on which new groups can be defined and edited.
  Groups can be configured as static, dynamic-in or dynamic-out. For members of static groups, calls are always signalled. It works differently for members of dynamic groups, which register with or unregister from a group dynamically using a function key (Join Group). The difference between dynamic-in and dynamic-out lies in whether the object is to be contained in the relevant group as standard (in) or not (out).
  The active check box determines whether the group is enabled for the relevant object.
• CF*: Display of the call forwarding(s) defined for the object. Clicking the link + or the name of an existing call forwarding opens a popup page, on which new call forwardings can be defined and edited. On this popup page, you can use the Type list box to select a call forwarding type (Call Forwarding Unconditional, Call Forwarding Busy and Call Forwarding No Response).
  A call forwarding can be made dependent on a Boolean object. This can be inverted with the Not button.
  With the Only and Only not filters, you can define additional exceptions, so that particular subscribers are excluded from the forwarding (Only not) or the forwarding is to apply only to a particular subscriber (Only).
• Type: Display of the object type. Possible entries: bool, broadcast, dect, dtmf-ctrl, executive, gateway, multicast, mwi, map, loc, trunk, vm and waiting. If the object has already registered, then this is indicated through specification of the IP address, with which the object has registered. The registrations marked with a "*" use a password.

To add a new object, you must select the relevant object and then click the new link beside the PBX objects list box. Depending on which object was selected in the list box, the page setup of the subsequent popup changes. This popup page contains standard entry fields, some of which occur in all objects.

These fields are:

• Long Name: The long name of the object. This name is used to identify the object in the database and for display purposes. The long name must be unique throughout the system.
• Name: The name of the object. This name is used for signalling (like a call number) and must be unique throughout the system.
• Number: The call number of the object. The call number must always be unique in relation to a node.
• Hardware ID: The hardware ID of the terminal that is to register with this object.
• Node: The node that the object is assigned to. The node determines the unique call number with which an object can be accessed throughout the system.
  Objects located in the root node can be accessed without a location prefix; otherwise, the location prefix always has to be dialled as well. If you enable the Local check box, then, despite a different location prefix, it is no longer necessary to use it.
  This list box is displayed only in connection with the PBX object of the PBX type.
• PBX: The PBX or location that the object is assigned to. This PBX accepts registrations for the object.
  This list box is displayed only in connection with the PBX object of the PBX type.
• Local: The effect of the Local flag is that objects of different nodes can be registered and called without a location prefix.
  This check box is displayed only in connection with the PBX object of the PBX type.
• Password / Retype Password: If a registration password is allocated here, then it must be specified during registration, or otherwise the registration will fail.
• Filter: For most PBX objects, you can allocate a specific filter (see chapter entitled "Administration/PBX/Filter").
• Diversion Filter: A filter can also be selected for call forwarding should this take place (see chapter entitled "Administration/PBX/Filter").
• CFNR Timeout: The time set here (in seconds) is the interval that elapses before a user’s call forwarding is initialised.
• Busy on n Call(s): Maximum number of calls made simultaneously. If, for example, the numeric value two is entered, then busy is signalled to the third and all further incoming calls. Just as only two calls can be set up parallel.
• Group Indications: If call groups have already been created, you can select them here and add them to new objects.

The object-specific entry fields are displayed accordingly as an extended section.
