Routing an Inbound Call to the Auto Attendant

By default, all inbound calls are routed to the Auto Attendant (aa). This automated
system answers inbound calls by playing pre-recorded voice message that asks
the caller to enter the desired extension. If you want only the Auto Attendant to
receive a call, keep the default setting, aa, in the Contact List field on the Voice >
Line N page, Subscriber Information section, for each line interface. For more
information, see Chapter 7, "Configuring the Auto Attendant."

Routing an Inbound Call to a Receptionist or Client Stations

You can route an inbound call to a receptionist or to client stations by using a
Contact List. You specify the Contact List for each line interface (Line 1, Line 2, Line
3, Line 4). For example, if Line1 is configured for an ITSP account, and a call is
placed to a Direct Inward Dialing (DID) number for that account, then the call is
routed to the Contact List that is specified on the Line 1 configuration page.
Likewise, if Line 2 is configured for a SPA400 that has PSTN lines attached, and a
call is placed to the associated PSTN phone number, then the call is routed as
specified in the Voice > Line page, Subscriber Information section, Contact List
field.
