What are the types of calls?

There are several call types that are useful to know:

  • internal (when two extension communicate within the enterprise)
  • external (when one extension and an outside number or IP address communicate)
  • incoming (when the call is received)
  • outgoing (when the call is initiated)
  • local
  • international

What main call routing rules can be defined?

  • creation of ring groups (you can organise the individual extension numbers into groups and define further rules for the groups, in this case all the extensions will work according to the group's rules)

  • restrictions (you can make restrictions for individual extensions and for groups as well, with permitting or forbidding the incoming, outgoing, internal, etc. calls for each)

  • call forwarding (you can define it if one or the other extensions are busy, the call can be forwarded to another extension or any of the extensions within the group, send a busy signal to the caller etc.. The list of the possible options is almost endless)

  • all that was mentioned above can be done to multimedia communication as well
