Adding miscellaneous applications


If we take a look at the Feature Codes menu, we will be able to see the list of codes that can be dialed internally in order to set, activate, or use a feature. For example, if we'd like to access our voicemail from another extension, we can simply dial *98 and follow the menu that we hear, but using the Miscellaneous Applications module, we can create feature codes to access a feature.

As an example, we will create an access code that, if dialed internally, will transfer our call to a conference room. Bearing this in mind, we will use the feature code *33 with the name Conference Feature. Then, we confirm that it is enabled and finally set the destination as Conference.

How to do it…

  1. Go to the PBX | Miscellaneous Application menu.

  2. Add Miscellaneous Application.

  3. Add Description.

  4. Assign Feature Code.

  5. Set the status of this feature code (Enabled or Disabled).

  6. Set Destination when this feature code is applied.
