go to ring group

You can provide a single-digit option to ring

 

an extension ring group.

 

 

go to auto attendant

TalkSwitch can direct callers to multiple levels

 

of auto attendants. For example, you might

 

want to use your main auto attendant to

 

provide language options like “press 1 for

 

English, 2 for Spanish.” In this example, you

 

configure option 1 to go to auto attendant 2

 

(English version) and option 2 to go to auto

 

attendant 3 (Spanish version).

 

 

queue at ring group

This directs calls to a group of extensions and

 

keeps callers on hold until a member of the ring

 

group is free to take the call.

 

 

play announcement

You can set any unused voicemail to play

 

announcement only. Announcements are useful

 

for providing directions, business hours and/or

 

other information. Inform callers that they can

 

press * to return to the auto attendant or

 

you can program a 0 option to route to any

 

other extension or greeting.

 

 

go to directory

If you want to enable callers to locate employee

 

extension numbers by last name, select this

 

option.

 

 

By default, TalkSwitch waits 1.5 seconds after your caller enters a digit before following with another digit. If no other digit is received, TalkSwitch follows the action set for the single digit. This allows caller to use 1 for the auto attendant option and 111 as an extension number.

2.4.2.4 Automatic fax detection

If a fax call is detected then:

TalkSwitch can automatically detect incoming faxes and route them to your fax machine. To do this, the auto attendant must answer all incoming calls and listen for the CNG tone emitted by the incoming fax call. If a CNG tone is detected within nine seconds, the call is identified as a fax. If no CNG tone is detected, the auto attendant will wait for the caller to dial the appropriate digits or hang up.

Some older fax machines do not emit a CNG tone and the auto attendant cannot detect them as an incoming fax. Also, if your auto attendant volume is set too high, or if your telephone lines are noisy, the auto attendant may not be able to detect the incoming CNG tone.
