Setup Wizard: Incoming Call Routes

Last Updated : Jun 28, 2022 |

You can use this panel to configure where incoming external calls should be routed.

Working Hours Time Profile

These settings are used to define a default time profile for the customer's normal hours of business. This profile is then used to alter the routing of incoming calls inside and outside those times.

Once the system has been configured, additional time profiles can be added if required.

Setting

Description

Start Time

The time when normal working hours begin.

End Time

The time when normal working hours end.

Days

The days of the week when the working hours apply.

Incoming Call Routes

You can create and edit incoming call routes for the lines setup in the previous setup wizard panel. A route is required for each of the incoming line group IDs used for the lines in the system configuration.

Setting

Description

Incoming Line Group ID

Each of the lines in the system is configured with an Incoming Line Group ID. The same ID can be used for on several line. The incoming call route with the same ID is then used to route calls on those lines.

Trunk Identifier

This is a unique name added by the system for the set of trunks

Incoming Number

If required, in addition to matching the Incoming Line Group ID you can also match the incoming number received to route the calls for that number to different destinations.

This option is not supported on all trunks. For example it is not supported with analog trunks.

Working Hours Destination

The destination for calls that match the incoming call route during the times defined by the working hours time profile.

The destination number can be selected from the drop-down list. This lists:

  • All existing users, groups and auto-attendants.

  • Voicemail for caller access to voicemail to collect messages.

For destinations not listed in the drop-down list, the destination number can be entered manually.

Out of Office Hours Destination

The destination for calls that match the incoming call route outside the times defined by the working hours time profile.
