Overview
CEN is the directory that tells community phone networks who to call. Every network gets a unique three-digit CEN Area Code, so any phone on CEN has a 10-digit number: area code, three-digit block and four-digit line. When a PBX dials a CEN number, it asks CEN with one HTTPS request and gets back a ready-to-dial IAX address for the destination PBX, then calls that PBX directly. CEN never carries the call.
