Configuring Breakout Controls

Last Updated : Jul 15, 2021 |

About this task

The Breakout action is potentially useful during failover scenarios. It allows a telephone user to make a call as if dialing the digits on another system on the network and thus have their dialing routed by that system. The action can be assigned to short codes and to programmable buttons.

Procedure

  1. Using IP Office Manager, receive the configuration from the primary server.
  2. Select the user or user rights to which you want to add a break out button and select the Button Programming tab.
  3. Edit a button as follows:
    1. Select the Action as Select the Action as Advanced > Dial > Break Out.
    2. In the Action Data enter the system name or IP address of the remote server. Alternatively, if this field is left blank, display phones list the systems from which the use can select when the button is pressed.
  4. Click OK.
  5. Click OK again.
  6. Save the configuration changes.
