Talkswitch 48-CVA manual Remote Extensions

Direct Line Access:

Direct line access allows you to configure the extension to access a specific Hunt Group automatically for outbound calls when the extension goes off hook. For example, you may have a fax machine connected to this extension and don’t want to reprogram the speed dial phone numbers. In this case you would select ‘Direct line access’ and choose the appropriate Hunt Group. As soon as the fax goes off hook, TalkSwitch will hunt the specified lines for an available line. This feature allows users to avoid dialing extra digits to access a line.

Warning: When using Direct Line Access, telephone company line dialtone is first available when picking up the handset. The following features are only available from TalkSwitch internal dialtone: Intercom Calling, Hold Retrieve, Line Hunt Groups, Voicemail Retrieval/Access, Call Pick Up, P.A. Access, Parked Call Retrieval, Do Not Disturb functions and entering Command Mode. To obtain internal dialtone at an extension which has Direct Line Access enabled, dial Flash after going off hook.

Hunt Group Access:

This is used if you want to permit or restrict specific Hunt Group access to the extension. Click the button and simply organize the appropriate Line Hunt Groups that are permitted for this extension. (Extensions are defaulted to have no restrictions.)

3.3.1.9 Remote Extensions

With TalkSwitch’s Remote Extensions, you can have calls forwarded directly from

your office to any phone number you choose. Your cell phone, pager or any out-of-

office number becomes a ‘Remote Extension’ of your office system. You can choose Networked to screen callers if required. If you are unavailable or choose not to accept calls, they

can be transferred back to your office (e.g. to voicemail or another extension) or forwarded to another out-of-office telephone number (e.g. to a business partner’s cell phone) depending upon the Call Cascade configuration.

For details on how to use Remote Extensions, see section 4.3

Once your remote extensions are configured, calls can be forwarded by the Auto Attendant or transferred by someone in your office simply by dialing the Remote Extension number. There are 8 Remote Extensions available per TalkSwitch unit.

If a TalkSwitch has Unit ID 2, then the Remote Extension numbers are 221 - 228. Unit ID 3 has remote extensions 231-238, and Unit ID 4 has 241-249
