Ringback when the call is not answered
= CCNR (Completion of Calls on No Reply). If a participant does not respond
when called, a caller can arrange an automatic ringback. As soon as the desti-
nation phone has completed a call and is free again, the caller is rung back. This
feature must be supported by the exchange. The ringback request is automat-
ically canceled after about 2 hours (depending on the VoIP provider).

Subnet mask
IP addresses consist of a fixed network number and a variable subscriber
number. The network number is identical for all
Network subscribers. The size
of the network number part is determined in the subnet mask. In the subnet
mask 255.255.255.0, for example, the first three parts of the IP address are the
network number and the last part the subscriber number.
