Telephone system

A non-transitory computer-readable medium having executable instructions for enabling a computer to interconnect, through a communication network, a plurality of communication terminals to a plurality of exchanges in which each exchange receives from each communication terminal a connection request that includes an extension number of each communication terminal, based on authentication processing, the computer readable medium comprising:

• an acquisition processing module configured to retrieve a management database that includes the extension number correlated with an address information of a prescribed exchange, based on the extension number when the connection request is received from the communication terminal and acquiring the address information of the prescribed exchange;
• a notification processing module configured to notify the communication terminal of the address information of the prescribed exchange acquired by the acquisition processing unit;
• a re-connection request processing module configured to transmit the connection request to the address information of the prescribed exchange when the address information of the prescribed exchange is notified from the exchange;
• and
• wherein each of the communication terminals is configured to allow a user to log in with a user's extension number and to transmit the connection request including the user's extension number to a default exchange, the default exchange defined to be one of the plurality of exchanges to which the communication terminal is received.

A method for controlling a telephone system comprising:

• a plurality of exchanges interconnecting a plurality of communication terminals to one another through a communication network, each exchange receiving from each communication terminal a connection request that includes an extension number that is assigned to each user;
• and
• a management database in which the extension number assigned to each user is correlated with an address information of a default exchange that receives a default communication terminal assigned by default to the user,
• wherein the method comprising:
• extracting and extension number from the connection request;
• acquiring the address information of the default exchange by accessing the management database with the extension number extracted from the connection request, in response to the connection request received from a specific communication terminal included in the communication terminals;
• notifying, to the specific communication terminal, the address information of the default exchange;
• allowing a user to input the extension number assigned to the user and to the default communication terminal;
• transmitting the connection request including the extension number input by the user to one of the exchanges receiving the specific communication terminal;
• and
• transmitting the connection request to the default exchange based on the address information of the default exchange being notified in response to the connection request.
