Incoming Call Route Destinations

Last Updated : Apr 21, 2016 |

Navigation: System Settings > Incoming Call Route > Add/Edit Incoming Call Route

The system allows you to associate multiple time profiles with an incoming call route. For each time profile, you can specify separate Destination and Fallback Extension settings.

When you add multiple records, the IP Office looks for the first time profile match starting from the bottom up. If the IP Office does not find a match, it uses the Default Value destinations. Once the IP Office makes a match, it does not use any other destinations.

These settings can be edited online. Changes to these settings do not require a reboot of the system.

  • For a Server Edition network, these settings can be configured at the network level and are then automatically replicated in the configuration of all systems in the network. They can only be seen and edited at the individual system configuration level if record consolidation is switched off.

Field

Description

Time Profile

This column is used to specify the time profiles used by the incoming call route. The drop-down list display existing time profiles from you can make a selection. To remove an existing entry, select it by clicking on the button on the left of the row, then right-click on the row and select Delete.

  • The Default Value entry is used if no match to a time profile occurs.

Destination

Default = Blank

Either enter the destination manually or select the destination from the drop-down list.

The following options appear in the drop-down list:

  • Voicemail allows remote mailbox access with voicemail. Callers are asked to enter the extension ID of the mailbox required and then the mailbox access code.

  • Local user names.

  • Local hunt groups names.

  • AA: Name directs calls to an Embedded Voicemail auto-attendant services.

In addition to short codes, extension and external numbers, you can manually enter the following options:

  • VM:Name Directs calls to the matching start point in Voicemail Pro.

  • A . matches the Incoming Number field. This can be used even when X wildcards are being used in the Incoming Number field.

  • A # matches all X wildcards in the Incoming Number field. For example, if the Incoming Number was -91XXXXXXXXXXX, the Destination of # would match XXXXXXXXXXX.

  • Text and number strings entered here are passed through to system short codes, for example to direct calls into a conference. Note that not all short code features are supported.

  • You must use quote marks where necessary to stop characters in the destination string being interpreted as special characters.

Fallback Extension

Default = Blank (No fallback)

Defines an alternate destination which the IP Office should use when the Destination cannot accept new calls and has no coverage settings to redirect calls. For example:

  • For an extension as the destination:, use the fallback if:

    • The target extension has no more call appearance buttons available and does not have voicemail on.

    • The target extension is logged out.

    • The target extension is set to 'do not disturb' and does not have voicemail on.

    • The target extension has been unplugged and has no voicemail.

      • Not supported for analog extensions.

      • For IP extensions, there is a 3-minute delay before the extension is unregistered from the IP Office during which the IP Office still attempts to present new calls to the extension.

  • For a hunt group as the destination:, use the fallback if:

    • The hunt group members are all busy and the group does not have queuing and voicemail enabled.
