Hosted PBX - Auto Attendant Tutorial

Setting Up the Directory

The Directory is a list of all the people (and their phone numbers) that the Hosted PBX Automated Attendant will connect to. Each person is assigned an Extension. Each Extension consists of an Extension number that can be any number between 2 and 5 digits, a first name, a last name, and a ring to number. The ring to number is the phone number that the system dials when the caller selects a specific Extension. [plus]
