Menus

Menus direct callers to destinations within a business. A menu can route a caller to a destination once a number on a key-pad has been pressed. The menu prompt tells a caller what number to press to get to a desired destination. Menus can also be used to provide information to callers like driving directions, etc.

Edit Menu

Editmenupage.png

Sections/Fields Description
Name Enter a name for the menu.
Menu Number (dial to go to menu) This is the number of the menu. This number is used to access the menu from extensionsif necessary. The number must be a unique 3 or 4 digit number.
Default Menu Prompt  This is the recording that is active for callers who reach this menu when the Menu Prompt is set to default.
Active Menu Prompt This function is enhanced in version 3.4.1. (Previously “Menu Prompt”.) As it indicates, this selection determines what prompt recording is heard by callers who reach this menu.

Record this first under PBX SetupPrompts.

Control Menu Prompt:

Copy To

The Copy To function allows you to place pre-recorded (and previously uploaded, see: PBX SetupPrompts) prompts into the available Prompts to be associated to this menu. Available “slots” are 1-5 where the user may then select 0-5, 0 being the default and 1-5 being those that are loaded. The user also has the ability to rerecord the prompts 1-5 via DTMF Administration access.

Note: uploaded prompts are “copied” to the menu; therefore rerecorded prompts do not overwrite the original uploaded file.

Fail Over This is the destination that the menu will fail over to if the user does not press a digit in the allotted Response Time.
Override Hold Musc If set to yes, the Hold Music set here will play whenever this call goes on hold.  This ensures the same message is played, even if the extension that puts the call on hold has its own custom MOH set.  If set to no, the Hold Music set in the Menu will not override another hold music.
Hold Music
Set this to the Music on Hold play list you want heard for callers in this Menu.
Assign Menu Destinations
Menu Destinations  This list represents the destinations callers are routed to when pressing 0-9,*, #, and FAX. If a destination is set for FAX, the PBX will detect if a call inbound over an Analog or T1/PRI card is a fax while the prompt is playing, and will route calls to this destination if fax tone is detected.
