Local Extensions are by default activated with the associated Voice mailbox. Voice
mailboxes for each Local Extension can be de-activated in the Voicemail section in the
System Information folder.
Last Name / First Name:
Enter the first and last name of the person associated to the extension. The last
name is required if the person is to be included in the 'Dial by Name' directory
listing used by the Auto Attendant. The person using that extension must also
record their name for the directory by following the instructions below the name
fields. The name entered will also appear on the Caller ID of other Local Extensions
during intercom calls.
For outbound VoIP calls, use this number:
Select the number you want to appear at the remote location when VoIP calls are
placed from this extension. If 'Default VoIP Number' is selected, then the phone
number associated to the outgoing VoIP port will be used. This selection makes the
most sense if your VoIP lines have been configured to handle all inbound calls in the
same manner.
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.)
