Ring

Ring Branch Guide

Ring Branch is a feature designed to streamline PBX call management, allowing seamless transfers to extensions, external numbers, voicemails, and more. Previously, these call routing functions were managed through the Connect Branch.

1. Multiple or Direct

Direct: The system immediately executes the function without additional input from the caller.
Multiple: The system presents a menu, allowing callers to choose an option.
Greeting Requirements:
- Direct: No greeting required.
- Multiple: A greeting is necessary to inform callers of available options.

2. Allow Direct Extension

When Ring is set to Multiple, you can enable the Allow Direct Extension option.
This allows callers to dial an extension directly, even if no input is pre-configured in the menu.
Suggested Greeting: “If you know your party's extension, you may dial it at any time.”

3. + Add

Use this button to add another input option in the menu.
