Creating a Short Code for Internal Calls

Last Updated : Dec 23, 2021 |
Having adding a module for our auto-attendant (see Adding a New Module), we want to be able to call it internally. You can do this by adding a short code.
Doing this allows you to:
  • Make test calls to you auto-attendant when making changes.
  • In real operation, users on your system can transfer misdirected callers back to the auto-attendant using the short code.
Prolog information
  1. In IP Office Manager, add the following short code. This example uses *90, but you can use any short code.
    1. In Code enter *90.
    2. In Feature enter Voicemail Collect.
    3. In Telephone Number enter "AutoAttend".
    4. In Line Group ID enter 0.
  2. Save and merge the configuration to the telephone system.
  3. Dial *90 from any extension other than 207 to test the short code.
  4. Press 3. You are transferred to the Reception group. In this example, extension 207.
