2.2.8 Remote extensions

A remote extension allows you to connect an external telephone number. This could be a cell phone or a number to your office. You can have it operate similar to a local extension in your office. Any external telephone number can be configured as a remote extension (i.e. cell phone, PDA, home telephone or branch office).

With remote extensions, you can have calls forwarded directly from your office to any phone number you choose. You can choose to screen callers. If the remote extension is busy or unanswered, calls can be transferred back to your office voicemail, another extension or forwarded to another out-of- office telephone number (e.g. to a business partner’s cell phone).

To set up remote extensions, see Figure 58 and follow the steps below.

1.Open the TalkSwitch configuration software.

2.Select System Information ->Remote Extensions.

3.Click on a remote extension number, starting with 210. Add more numbers as needed.

If a TalkSwitch has Unit ID 2, the remote extension numbers are 220–229. Unit ID 3 has remote extensions 230-239 and Unit ID 4 240-249.

4.Click in the checkbox next to Activate Extension <ext>.

5.Enter a last and a first name into the Last name: and First name: fields to identify the extension.

6.Enter the external phone number.

Enter the number the same way you are dialing it from a regular phone. You may use digits 0–9, space, comma, dash, # and * .

A comma creates a two-second pause in the dialing string.

7.In the drop-down list next to Connect using:, we recommend that you leave it at Hunt Group 9 unless you have pre-configured another group.
