Signal Bearer Separation (or Separation of Bearer and Signaling)

Essentialy it is a DCS trunk with the Signaling going over your data network and the voice goes over the PSTN. Allows you to have 4 digit dialing and centralized VM, without a massive wan infratructure.

The way it works is:
1. Side A call an extention on side B
2. Side A looks it up in UDP and then aar.
3. Side A signals side B that it has a call for extention X
4. Side B looks up the extention in its Public-Unknown table and sends the area code and prefix back to side A.
5. Side A prepends the areacode and prefix to the extention and places the call out it's PSTN trunks.
6. Extention X recieves the call from the PSTN and caller ID from the data network.

It's not too difficult to set up if you follow the instuctions in the Feature Description and Implementation manual.
