A DISA call target will provide a caller with a dial tone on the PBX. Once the caller has a dial tone, they can utilize the same set of functions that are utilized by a user with VoIP endpoint attached to the PBX. This means that a person who is remotely located could be given access to dial any extension directly, check their voicemail messages, or even place calls to external telephone numbers through the PBX.
In order to set up a DISA call target, click on the DISA option under the Internal Options & Configurations section of the navigation menu on the left side of the FreePBX interface as shown in the following screenshot:
DISA call targets have following eight configuration options:
1. DISA name
2. PIN
3. Response Timeout
4. Digit Timeout
5. Require Confirmation
6. Caller ID
7. Context
8. Allow Hangup
The DISA name field is used to identify the DISA configuration when it is being selected as a call target in other parts of the FreePBX interface...
