Home phone set ups are wholly dissimilar from those found in a business. Of course, there’s not one thing which says we can’t use the same setup, but due to the way a business functions we may make some constituents more efficient. One of these constituents is the physical line that comes into the office. With home phones, we need a discerned line for each new telephone and telephone number in the house. This makes sense since each number “owns” that line and when an outside person dials it, there’s no trouble with figuring out who the call is for.

Businesses with potentially hundreds or thousands of laborers in the same office merely can’t afford to have so numerous lines coming in and out of the building. It’s not just the cost but it’s inefficient as well. So the telcos (starting with AT&T) developed a engineering called “Direct Inward Dialing” or “DID” which permitted the same set of wires to be employed for multiple phone lines. This required the business to take the obligation of forwarding the number to the rectify person and this was done using a PBX.

We’ve seen old movies where an attendant manually switches calls to the right person and over the years we’ve evolved to a system where all that may be done automatically. The telephone company lets the businesses PBX know the number it has to connect to by sending the last few digits to it which is distinctive to each employee within that business and the PBX connects it up automatically.

This has great relevance to VoIP which relies on tight integration with the PSTN network in order to function. At a technical level, each SIP VoIP user may be identified by their SIP address which goes something like “userabc@serviceproviderxyz.com” – like an email address. But that’s not what regular users need to contact you and it’s surely not what you’ll put up on your website. Like every one else, you will need a regular telephone number which persons may dial and which will ring your VoIP phone. This is not one thing but the engineering science of Direct Inward Dialing or DID.

Strictly speaking, you don’t need DID in order to make a telephone call – only to receive it. But users won’t recognise who’s calling if you call them directly from your VoIP phone without an related number and that might put people off. In most cases you won’t even need to know with regards to terms like “DID.” Your VoIP provider will give you a number automatically.

4Good book for telecommunications people
By R. J. Coppins
A very good book for getting those with a telecomm background up to speed on network security for VoIP. I only saw one fault (probably a typo), which is rather acceptable. Those with a background in network security may likewise use the book to get intimate with those distinct elements which apply to VoIP. The only real problem is that the book is various years old.
