ID The ID of the site.
Internal Messaging access number The internal number is the number the Messaging system expects to receive from the telephony server augmented with various prefixes.

The internal telephone number is also known as the internal pilot number.

In Messaging R6.1 and R6.2, Messaging analyzes the SIP To: header and checks the internal numbers of the configured site on all sites. After the system finds a matching site, Messaging processes the call using the selected site and the associated mailboxes.

External Messaging access number The external number is the number the Messaging system uses in notifications and in the General Web page in User Preferences to inform the user how to reach the Messaging system from outside.

A call to the external number results in identical call data when the call reaches the Messaging system, as a call to the internal number.

The external telephone number is also known as the external pilot number.
