PBX Mode Call Routing

ARS Selectors

PBX System Mode Only
IP Office Essential Edition - IP Office Essential Edition - Basic Edition systems can be installed in either key or PBX system mode. This feature is only supported by systems running in PBX system mode. The setting is ignored by systems running in key system mode.

An ARS selector is a group of lines. Calls directed to an ARS selector by the system or by user dialing will seize an available line in that group. ISDN selectors use all ISDN channels but apply a specific ISDN function to the call, for example withhold number.

The system routes to an ARS selector based on matching the number dialed by a user to the numbers set for different classes of call. Users can dial an ARS selector by dialing 8 followed by the ARS selector group number. ARS selectors can also be assigned to buttons using the line assignment.

The ARS selector groups are numbered in the range 65 to 99. Selectors 65, 66 and 67 are used by default entries.

65: Group of Lines
This entry cannot be deleted. By default it contains all analog lines in the system, however it can be edited to change the lines included.
66: ISDN Standard Call
This entry cannot be edited or deleted. Calls routed to this entry will use an available ISDN line with the calling party information set to match the user's User CLI if set or otherwise blank (to be set by the provider).
67: ISDN Number Withheld
This entry cannot be edited or deleted. Calls routed to this entry will use an available ISDN line with the calling party information set to withheld.
