Voicemail, dial codes and prompts

Voicemail defaults​

Voicemail defaults page.

Defaults applied to new mailboxes.

Under Admin, Voicemail defaults: whether every new user extension gets a mailbox automatically (off by default), the e-mail mode, retention (1 to 3650 days, 90 by default) and message limit (up to 1000, 100 by default). Changing these never changes mailboxes that already exist.

A mailbox that holds messages or greetings cannot be deleted together with its extension until you delete the mailbox. Shared mailboxes give a team (for example a queue) one mailbox that several people can listen to and claim messages from. Users set their own PIN; an administrator can reset it.

Dial codes and parking​

Dial codes and parking page.

Park, pickup, do not disturb and office hours codes.

Under Admin, Dial codes. After the feature-code prefix (* by default) a user dials:

CodeDefaultEffect
Park*00 to *09Transfer the call to a parking orbit.
Unpark*10 to *19Take the oldest call parked at the orbit.
Directed pickup*20*<extension>Take the call ringing that extension.
Intercom*9<extension>A call that the other phone answers by itself.
Do not disturb*61 on, *60 offFor your own extension.
Office hours override*35 open, *36 closed, *37 break, *38 clearForce the hours that serve you.
Call pull*85Move your answered call from another device to this one.

Every code can be changed, and "Restore defaults" brings the table back. A code may not begin another code.

Music on hold and prompts​

One library holds spoken prompts and music on hold. Upload WAV, MP3 or Ogg (up to 25 MiB and 10 minutes); the server converts it to telephone audio. A file that a menu or queue uses cannot be deleted until you point those at another file.
