472.0 Configuring TalkSwitch
After the Auto Attendant has finished playing and no selection has been
made within x seconds:
If no selection is detected at the specified Auto Attendant, TalkSwitch can
route the call to any Local or Remote Extension, Ring Group, Voice
mailbox, Auto Attendant, Announcement or simply hang up. This feature is
included in case someone does not have a touch-tone phone or if it is a fax
call where the calling fax machine does not emit a CNG tone. It can also be
used to forward calls immediately after the Auto Attendant answers the call.
You will notice that you can specify the length of time after the Auto Attendant
has finished playing before it performs the ‘no selection’ action.
If a fax call is detected:
If TalkSwitch detects a fax call (by CNG detection), it has the ability to route
it to a Local or Remote Extension or if you do not want to use fax detection,
you can have TalkSwitch perform no action when detecting a fax call.
Fax calls are detected by what's called a CNG tone. If a fax machine sends this tone
while trying to establish a connection to a fax machine connected to TalkSwitch,
TalkSwitch will handle the call accordingly. Not all fax machines emit a CNG tone, and
as a result TalkSwitch will not be able to detect the fax call and route it to the fax
machine. To guarantee the reception of every fax, we recommend the use of a
‘Distinctive Ring Number’ added to one of your lines for fax calls. TalkSwitch can then
handle every fax call consistently.
The digits 6, 7, 8 and 9 are not available as programmable options since they are
used for other system features:
If 6 is dialed:
If you press ‘6’ at the Auto Attendant, you will be able to configure and use
Auto and Prompted Call Back. See section 2.3.4 for more details about con-
figuring Call Back and section 3.7.2 for details on how to use Call Back.
If 7 is dialed:
This digit is used to precede PBX extensions of another Centrex or PBX sys-
tem. If TalkSwitch is not connected to another system, then you need not
worry about this setting. If TalkSwitch is connected to a PBX system, then see
section 2.3.5.4 for more details.
If 80 - 88, or 9 is dialed:
If you press ‘80 - 88 or 9’ at the Auto Attendant, you will access Call Bridge if
it has been permitted. See section 2.3.4.3 for more details on configuring Call
Bridge and section 3.7.1 for details on how to use Call Bridge.
