Webinar Recap: What are the differences between Grandstream SLA and SCA?

March 7, 2019 by Ying-Hui Chen


This week, Grandstream and VoIP Supply hosted another successful webinar to talk about SLA and SCA features. We received a lot of great questions during the webinar that weā€™d like to share with all of you who might have missed it!

Recap the webinar with our presentation slides here and Q&A session below.

What was covered in the webinar?

  • Shared Line Appearance (SLA) allows mapping the line key on the IP phone to the POTS lines
  • Shared Call Appearance (SCA) allows multiple phones to share the same extensions and services
  • Call Park
  • Live Demo
    • How to enable SCA
    • How to set up extensions
    • Call Parking
    • Analog Trunks

Grandstream Webinar Q&A Session

Q1: Does the SLA work with PRI?

A: Grandstreamā€™s UCM PBX has a built-in PRI you can use. You can use SCA to monitor the lines. This method only works if each channel has a DID that is only directed to an extension. Itā€™s pseudo monitoring, but there is no true trunk monitoring for PRI.

Q2: Can you have a private extension use SCA and not ring on incoming calls? For example you only want a few phones to ring on the lines but everyone else is able to pick up the line and dial out, or grab calls that are on hold?

A: If you donā€™t want it to ring, you just want to monitor, under ā€œadd private numberā€, you can disable the function. You can also uncheck ā€allow origination from thisā€ to block outgoing calls.

Q3: Call Park vs Monitored Call Park feature usage?

A: On your UCM, thereā€™s no difference between these two. For GXP IP phones with a third-party PBX, we suggest using a monitored call park instead of call park.

Q4: If you change the VPK #1 from default does the phone continue to work? I thought VPK #1 always has to be default as the phone needs to know what account to dial and receive calls on.

A: It depends. VPK1 is typically tied to whatever the main account is. Avoid changing this. Please watch the recording for more details.
