Announcements |
Plays back a selected audio recording and then routes the call to another call target. |
Blacklist |
Provides the ability to build a list of numbers that are not allowed to call the system. Callers that are listed in the blacklist will hear a prompt informing them that the number they called is not in service. |
Caller ID Lookup |
Provides the ability to define various sources for caller ID names to be looked up against. Sources can be one of the following:
Calls that are routed through the lookup module will try to match their calling number against the defined source. If a name is found, it will be displayed on the telephone handset that receives the call. |
Day Night Mode |
Provides the ability to configure a call target toggle. Two targets are defined and they can be toggled by a user, dialing a predefined extension. Calls routed through the module go to one of the destinations depending on the state of the toggle. |
Follow Me |
Provides the ability to create a personalized ring group for each user on the system. A set of phone numbers is configured to ring when the user's extension is rung, and a fail over destination is specified. |
IVR |
Provides digital receptionist functionality. The IVR module answers a call, plays back a sound clip, and waits for the caller to push digits on their phone in order to route the call. |
Queue Priorities |
Provides the ability to give a particular caller higher priority when entering a queue. Callers with higher priority will be placed at the front of the queue and have their calls answered faster. |
Queues |
Allows callers to be routed in a call queue where they wait on hold until someone is available to answer their call. Callers are placed into the queue in the order they called in (unless their call order is altered by a queue priority). |
Ring Groups |
Creates a call target that will ring a predefined set of extensions. Extensions can either be rung all at the same time or in various hunt sequences that ring one extension at a time. |
Time Conditions |
Provides the ability to route calls to one of two call targets depending on the day of the week, month, date, or time. |
