  Caution:  Once a Time Frame is deleted, it will not revert back to default settings. Time Frames must be set in order to function. Please remember to add a Time Frame after one is deleted.

  
  
• Do Not Disturb
  
   - No phone rings, goes straight to voicemail if available.
  
• Call Screening
   - Prompts caller to say their name, lets you screen the call before accepting.
  
  
  
  
  Call Forwarding options.
  
  
• Always
  
   - Immediately forwards to the number specified.
  
• On Active
  
   - Forward calls to the number specified when you have one or more calls active.
  
• When Busy
  
   -  Forwards calls to the number specified when the terminating device returns a 486 SIP response code.
  
• When Unanswered 
  
  - Forwards calls to the number specified if the call is not answered after the specified ring timeout.
  
• Call Forwarding when Offline
  
   - Automatically forwards if your desk phone loses communication (such as during a power outage).

NOTE: A simring rings handsets, not users. So, for example, if 111 is listed, the simring will ring handset 111. If user 111 has a call forward set to their cell, however, the simring will not occur at the cell since simring rings handsets, not users.

• Just Ring User's Extension

Auto Attendants

Auto Attendants are interactive voice recordings that allow callers to make selections in order to route their call to their desired destinations.  The most common use case for an Auto Attendant is having the main company phone number pointed to an Auto Attendant. When callers then call into the business, they can be routed to the party they are trying to reach by listening to the menu prompt options or dialing a user’s extension directly.

 Link to a 3rd-party professional greetings service, SnapRecordings.

 Create a new Auto Attendant.

The Add an Auto Attendant window will appear. Name the Auto Attendant and give it an extension.  Then select a Time Frame for the Auto Attendant to be in effect. Click Add to create the Auto Attendant.

Note: The extension cannot be changed once the Auto Attendant has been created.

Intro & Menu Prompts

Record Intro and menu prompts. Intro prompts cannot be skipped. Menu Prompt allows you to upload the audio of your auto attendant letting callers know what digits will route them to what application or destination.

Auto Attendant Options

The Gear Icon takes you to the options settings for the Auto Attendant to control the caller’s experiences. Enable Dial by Extension allows you to enable calling an extension directly from the Auto Attendant if the caller knows the user’s extension number. If no key is pressed allows you to select a dial pad menu option, repeat the menu prompt recording, or hang up the call if no digit is pressed when the caller is in the Auto Attendant. If an unassigned key is pressed configured what to do with the call if the caller does not press any digits when in the auto-attendant and what do to if the caller presses a key that is not configured in the dial pad.

Dial Pad Options

Icon	Action	Description
	User	Forward the call to an extension of another user. It will also give you the option to add a prefix to the call ID so the user that call is being forwarded to knows the call is being routed from an auto attendant.
	Conference	Forward the call to the conference bridge you enter.
	Call Queue	Forward the call to a Call Queue with options for the following. It also allows you to have the system announce the number of callers in the queue ahead of the caller or announce the average expected wait time. Add a Caller ID prefix so the agent in the queue knows the call was routed to them from an Auto Attendant.
	Directory	Sends the call to the company directory.
	Voicemail	Forward a caller to the voicemail extension entered.
	Voicemail Management	Allows users on the system to enter their extension number and pin. Then they can check messages and manage their voicemail account. Note: This is usually programmed as a "secret" menu option and not listed in the audio prompts.
	External Number	Forward the call to another telephone number.

	Repeat Prompt	Replay the menu prompt message.
	Add Tier	Add another dial pad menu to the auto attendant. Once another tier has been added you will see the same options except for Add Tier. As you cannot add another tier. And the option for the Previous Menu appears so the caller can route back to the original Auto Attendant level. You cannot add a tier to 0 or the star key.

Ring Types

The Ring Type controls how the call is sent to specific devices. Calls are sent to specific devices instead of users so their Answering Rules will not route to an undesired destination.

• Ring All  | Simultaneously rings all available extensions in the queue. The first agent that answers get connected with the caller.

Require Intro MOH | Setting Require intro MOH (Music on Hold) will play the first recording in the Music on Hold directory of the queue to the caller when they enter the queue.

Max Expected Wait | Max Expected Wait allows you to add a cap to how long the hold time can be for callers. If you set a time and the Max Expected Wait time and it is exceeded for a new caller entering the queue the caller will be sent to the destination entered into the forwarding if unavailable field.

Max Queue Length | This Allows you to set a cap of how many callers the queue can have waiting at one time. If a Max Queue Length is set and a caller attempts to join the queue it will forward them to the destination entered in the Forward if unavailable field.

In Queue Options Tab

The In Queue Options tab allows you to control how the call is handled if the call meets all Pre Queue Options and the call is accepted into the queue. This tab will change based on the ring type selected.

Queue Ring Timeout (seconds) | Queue Timeout is a time limit that can be set for how long a call will remain in the queue before being forwarded to the destination entered into the forwarding if unanswered or voicemail of the queue. Moving the blue bar to the right will increase the amount of time in 5-second intervals. Move all the way to the right for unlimited. Which will permanently keep the call in the queue until someone answers or the call disconnects.

Agent Ring Timeout (seconds) | Agent Ring Timeout allows you to configure how long each agent in the queue phone will ring before moving on to the next agent. This option will not display if the call type of the queue is Ring All.

Initial Agent Group to Ring | This option will appear if Linear Cascade is the selected call type. This adds an additional group of agents to ring when the Agent Ring Timeout is reached.

• Agent Phone | The Agent Phone field is where you enter the device of the agent you want to receive calls from the queue.

• Status | Status has two options, Online and Offline. If an agent is online they can receive calls from the queue. Offline will add the user however they will not be sent queue calls. This is useful when you want to assign Call Center Supervisors to a queue that you want them to manage however not take calls from.
