HI,
Regarding your first question, should the quintum register to the pbx as an extension.. No. Is cleaner to simply point to the quintum as a "SIP Gateway" type trunk and simply set the outbound proxy as the IP adress of the quintum. This is assuming that the quinum is on the same network as the PBX and it not NATEd.
Once done, you will need to make the following settings for a minimal configuration.. NOt sure whether you are using the GUI or command line, but I will show the steps and prompts required from the CLI perspective. You should be able to match these up/locate them in the GUI:
1) Secure the quintum gateway so that only the PBX can send and receive calls
SIP Signaling group prompt
set primarysipserver <ip address of the PBX>
set allowonlyproxycalls 1
End Point Address Directory Prompt
add <ip of quintum unit> at 1 (this will block all H323 calls by adding the quinum as the only allowed h323 endpoint)
2) Some housekeeping
Not sure where you are, but it may be a good idea to disable the dialplan so you have no suprises
Dial Plan Prompt
set dpc 255 (disables any automatic normalization of numbers)
GateWay Prompt
set oipr 1 (set all outgoing calls to SIP)
CASSsignalingGroup Line
set CallerIDDetection 1
set SignalingType 3 (if you are in the USA or other contry that uses forward disconnect)
3) Finally, setup some "allowed" digit patterns for outgoing calls SIP > PSTN)
Hop Off Number Directory
THis works similar to the PBX dialplan.. So, if you want only calls that begin with 1 to go to the PSTN, set the Pattern=1 and Replacement=1
