PBX Extensions Enhanced Services
Precedence
Enhanced services are ordered by priority (marked by numbers 01, 02 ...). A higher priority equals higher precedence of the enhanced service. For example, due to the similarity of 'Follow Me' and 'Group Hunt' services, if both are enabled, 'Follow Me' will be executed due to higher precedence.
Each service has two or more accessibility options:
Unavailable
Available
PIN Required
To enable specific service, press select button next to the available icon for that particular service and click save. If service requires additional settings edit button next to it will become available after saving. Pressing edit button will open up a window with additional options for that specific service.
CallerID
Custom Caller ID which will be displayed on the UAD/Phone of the called party. Any information provided here will override the default Caller ID (Extension number and user name)
Enhanced Services - Caller ID
- System/Network Caller ID
Information provided here will replace default Caller ID information on the System/Network level.
(E.g. Set this option to 'Jake 2007' and call extension 1005, for example. On the display of the 1005 UAD/Phone, 'Jake 2007' will be displayed as a caller id information on system/network level.)
([a-z][0-9])
- Emergency CallerID
CallerID entered here will be used only for calls to Emergency Services numbers as set on your PBX system.
([a-z][0-9])
- Allowed list of CallerIDs (via App and Access Code)
You can add list of CallerIDs that you would like to allow to be used for outbound calls. This option can be used from gloCOM desktop by simply selecting caller ID number from the list in your gloCOM client. Although, this option is impractical to use on the deskphone itself you can still use it by entering *65*[Caller ID number as entered in the list]*[Number you wish to dial] on your dialpad.
(E.g. If you have a Caller ID number 02033998800 added to this list, and you would like to dial number 0019542788470 using this caller ID you would have to dial *65*02033998800*0019542788470)
NOTE: (*65 by default) -> This access code was modified to support the short code CallerIDs. The original way of using it is still supported, but with another pattern added: *65dxxxxxx.
The pattern stands for:
- *65 is the access code
- d is the single-digit short code configured on the Extension
- xxxxxx is the Destination to be dialed
In case no CallerID is matched with the sent short code provided for that Extension, the call will fail. Otherwise, the CallerID associated with that short code will be used.
NOTE: Numbers with the '+' (plus) sign can be added to the field.
- Trunk CallerID and Privacy header
For each trunk available on the system, there will be a field in which you may set a custom Caller ID that is used when calling over that specific trunk.
(E.g. John Cricthon)
([a-z][0-9])
- Privacy
What anonymity to use when setting CallerID on a trunk. If selected option contains Privacy ID that field will be added to SIP header.
- Anonymous - puts "anonymous <anonymous>" in trunk CallerID field, which means that CallerID name and number will be anonymous when dialing out of that trunk.
- Anonymous with Privacy ID - Same as above but adds Privacy ID to SIP header.
- Anonymous with number - Sets “anonymous” to CallerID name but allows showing number.
- Anonymous with number and Privacy ID - Same as above but adds Privacy ID to SIP header.
(Select box)
Call Pickup
Enhanced Services - Call Pickup
This service enables user to pickup ringing calls of the same call group. Dial '*8' to pickup a call from the same call group, or '*88 + $EXTENSION' (e.g. *88101) to pickup calls from different call groups.
(Option buttons)
NOTE: Extension can be a member of only one Call Group, but it can be a member of more than one Pickup Group.
(E.g.
Extension A:
- Call Group = 1
- Pickup Group = 3,4
Extension B:
- Call Group = 2
- Pickup Group = 1
- If A is ringing, B can pick up the ringing call by dialing '*8'.
- If B is ringing, A cannot pickup the ringing call because B's call group = 2, and A can pickup only call groups 3 and 4.)
TIP:
Grouping works only within a technology (SIP to SIP or IAX to IAX).
Enhanced Services - Last Caller
Last Caller
This service allows you to hear the extension number of the last caller and also to dial that number. Dial ‘*149’ to hear the extension number and then press ‘1’ to call it.
NOTE: Access code for this service can be customized through 'Settings: Access Codes'

(Check box)
Last Destination
- Last Destination:
This is the last destination that is called if all others from the 'Destination' list don't answer. Last destination can also be a voicemail if you check the option ‘Is Voicemail’.
(E.g. If this field is set to 1005 and none of the extensions answer, extension 1005 will be dialed.)
([0-9])

By checking this option voicemail will be set as a Last Destination.
(Check box)
Call Filters & Blocking
This service filters and blocks all incoming calls based on a set of rules. For example, calls can be filtered based on whether they are anonymous or belong to specific caller or telemarketer.
TIP: Access code for this service can be customized through 'Settings: Access Codes'.
Enhanced Services - Call Filters & Blocking
- Caller Number
Here you define which number will be blocked/filtered. You can set this for Anonymous caller or add some number by clicking ‘+’ sign.
([0-9])
- Destination Type
Type of the destination to where the call with the Caller Number will be directed. If the chosen type is 'Always Busy', once the extension set in Caller Number dials in, the Busy signal will be heard.
(Select box)
- Destination
This is where you enter the destination to which you want to direct calls if a suitable type is chosen.
(E.g. If the destination type is Call Forwarding or Voicemail you can set here an extension number [e.g. 1001]. If the destination type is a Ringtone you can set desired ringtone [e.g. <Simple-2>])
When a call comes in, it is handled in a way defined by the Destination Type select box depending if it’s for anonymous callers or for specific extensions.
For Anonymous callers:
- Call Forward
Incoming call is forwarded to a given number in the Destination field.
- Privacy Manager
To reach you, anonymous caller must set their CallerID.
- 'Always Busy
You are always busy for anonymous callers.
- Voicemail
Anonymous caller is forwarded to a given extension's voicemail.
- Not in service
Called number is 'Not in service'.
- Ringtone
With this option, it is possible to set a custom ringtone for anonymous callers (or known ones, too).
For specific extensions:
- Call Forward Number
Incoming call is forwarded to a given number in the Destination field.
- No Answer
Incoming call isn't answered.
- Busy
You are busy for incoming calls from this extension.
- Voicemail
Incoming call is forwarded to a given extension's voicemail.
- Not in service
Called number is 'Not in service'.
- Ringtone
With this option, it is possible to set a custom ringtone for this caller.
Setting custom ringtones
When the Ring Tone is selected as a Destination Type, enter the following into the Destination field:
For AASTRA phones:<Bellcore-drX> - where X is a number of the ring tone, usually [1-5]
For CISCO phones: <Bellcore-drX> - where X is a number of ring tone
For LINKSYS phones: Enter a name for the ring tone, Simple-5 or Classic-2 for example
For POLYCOM phones: You need to edit sip.cfg and ipmid.cfg. In the sip.cfg file, look for the line with these variables:
<alertInfo voIpProt.SIP.alertinfo.1.value="SIP".alertInfo.1.class="8" …>
'value' and 'class' are important. With 'class' you choose which ring class you will use, when you set 'value' as sip header.
In this specific case, sending SIP header with the value 'sales' [SIPAddHeader(Alert-Info: Sales)] will cause the telephone to use a ring tone which is set in class 8 in ipmid.cfg file. In ipmid.cfg, class 8 line looks like this:
<SALES se.rt.8.name="Sales" se.rt.8.type="ring" se.rt.8.ringer="3" se.rt.8.callWait="6" se.re.8.mod="0">
So in our case, the phone will use ring tone No. 3.
Signs like empty spaces or " signs are not allowed in ring tone names, but they can be used with a backslash in front ( like \" ). Most phones support only default, not custom ring tones.
Do Not Disturb
This service temporarily redirects all incoming calls to a destination number or a voicemail.
(E.g. If you wish not to be disturbed, you may activate this service, Set 'Destination'='Voicemail', enter '1000' in the field below and set 'Duration'='1'. This will redirect all calls coming to your extension to voice inbox of the extension 1000 for 1 hour).
NOTE: Activation of this service can be temporary (we enter number of hours) or permanent (until deactivation). Destination can be Voicemail or Call Forwarding.
Enhanced Services - Do not disturb

- When someone calls that extension, one will be presented with a choice:
- Say your name and wait while the call is being made to one of the destinations in the Call Screening
- Leave a Voicemail to the called extension
- If a caller presses '1', he will say his name and destinations in Call Screening will ring at the same time for 'Timeout' amount of time. If no one answers the call, the original caller will get the voicemail of the called extension
- If any destination answers the call, it will be presented with the following options:
- If you press '1' the caller will be connected to the answering destination.
- If you press '2' the caller will be able to leave a message to the called extensions voicemail.
- If you press '3', you will be able to send a call to another phone number.

Call Forwarding
This service forwards calls to other extensions depending on the extension response/status. For example, calls can be forwarded to other extensions (local/remote) or voice boxes unconditionally, or only if the extension is busy, nobody answers the call, or the line is unavailable.
If none of the destinations answer, the call is directed to the extension's voicemail.
TIP: Access code for 'Unconditional Call Forwarding' can be customized through 'Settings: Access Codes'.
Enhanced Services - Call Forwarding
IMPORTANT: Call Forwarding has been improved in 6.0. Now you are able to differentiate between internal and external calls (those that usually come through trunks) and set different destinations for each one (or set the same destination for both). Also, an exclude list has been added where you can enter Caller IDs that will not be forwarded - please note that this rule will be checked first before all other rules in the CF section.
- Unconditional
Forward all incoming calls.
Calls can be forwarded to other extension numbers (Internal or External) and to local voicemail boxes no matter who is calling. The voicemail box of the current extension is the default Destination Type.
- Busy
Forward all incoming calls if the extension is busy.
Calls can be forwarded to other extension numbers (Internal or External) and to local voicemail boxes if the line has reached the maximum incoming calls limit. The voicemail box of the current extension is the default Destination Type.
(Option buttons)

Forward all incoming calls if the extension doesn't answer the incoming call.
Calls can be forwarded to other extension numbers (Internal or External) and to local voicemail boxes if no one answers the call. The voicemail box of the current extension is the default Destination Type.
(Option buttons)
- Line Unavailable
Forward all incoming calls if the line is unavailable.
In case your line gets cut off or for any reason you cannot connect the UAD/Phone to the system, all calls that were supposed to reach you can be redirected to the extension/voice box number set here. The voicemail box of the current extension is the default Destination Type.
(Option buttons)
- Destinations for External Calls
In this field you will enter destinations to which you want to forward external calls depending on your extension's state. You can enter multiple destinations for each state, but they need to be separated by timeout seconds, meaning that when first extension in the list hasn't answered during the timeout time-frame, the next one will be ringing and so on.
(E.g. 2222)
([0-9])
- Destinations for Internal Calls
In this field you will enter destinations to which you want to forward internal calls depending on your extension's state. You can enter multiple destinations for each state, but they need to be separated by timeout seconds, meaning that when first extension in the list hasn't answered during the timeout time-frame, the next one will be ringing and so on.
(E.g. 1111)
([0-9])
- Timeout (sec)
Ring time in seconds. After that the current destination will stop ringing.
(E.g. 15)

- r - Generate a ring tone for the calling party, passing no audio from the called channel(s) until one answers. Use with care and don't insert this by default into all of your dial statements as you are killing call progress information for the user. You almost certainly do not want to use this. Asterisk will generate ring tones automatically where it is appropriate to do so. 'r' makes it go the next step and additionally generate ring tones where it is probably not appropriate to do so.
- R - Indicate ringing to the calling party when the called party indicates ringing, pass no audio until answered. This is available only if you are using kapejod's bristuff.
- m - Provide Music on Hold to the calling party until the called channel answers. This is mutually exclusive with option 'r', obviously. Use m(class) to specify a class for the music on hold.

- w - Allow the called user to start recording after pressing *1 or what defined in features.conf, requires Set(DYNAMIC_FEATURES=automon)
- W - Allow the calling user to start recording after pressing *1 or what defined in features.conf, requires Set(DYNAMIC_FEATURES=automon)
NOTE: Dial options can bind together. (E.g. t + r = tr)
- Last Destination
Destination which will be dialed if none of the ‘priority’ destinations answer the call. If you check ‘Is Voicemail’ option, last destination will be the voicemail.
(E.g. If extension 1005 is set here, that extension will be called if none of the destinations set above answer the call.)
([0-9])
- Is Voicemail
Select whether or not the Last Destination is a Voicemail box.
(E.g. Yes, No, Not Set)
(Check box)
- Confirm Calls
With this option enabled you can make sure that the call is answered by a person, not a voicemail. (e.g. If the call is answered by a mobile phone the person picking up the call needs to press 1(or another key on the phone) to answer the phone. If that key is not pressed all phones will keep ringing because call is considered unanswered.)
NOTE: When Follow Me is set on an extension and as destinations are defined [(the original extension and some remote destination (external number)], only that external number has the ability to press 1 in order to accept the call.

This service enables the message to transmit to multiple phones by dialing '*399' or single phone by dialing *400 ext.
(E.g.
Case 1: Set this field to '1000,1001,1002' for example. Now dial*399. Extensions 1000,1001,1002 will be paged. If UAD/Phone supports it, the call will automatically go to the speakerphone, otherwise it will just ring).
([0-9])
(E.g.
Case 2: Set this field to '1000,1001,1002' for example. Now dial*400 1001. Extensions 1001 will be paged. If UAD/Phone supports it, the call will automatically go to the speakerphone, otherwise it will just ring).
([0-9])
- Quiet mode
Does not play beep to a caller. Normally you won't use this, but if you have an external amplifier that provides its own tone, you may want to set this option.
TIP: Phones by default have 10 seconds to auto answer.
NOTE: With the addition of multiple registration to a single extension, paging had to be modified. In PBX 5 if more than one deskphone or third party softphone application is registered to a single PBX extension at the same time, Speakerphone paging will be disabled for that extension. This is expected behavior and a tradeoff users must accept when registering more than one deskphone to their extension.
Registration of applications, desktop and mobile, will not affect paging.
Speakerphone Page Groups
Enhanced Services - Speakerphone Page Groups
Speakerphone Page Groups service enables a specific extension to page multiple extensions by dialing '*600'. Dial ‘*600 + paging group extension number’ to page all extensions assigned to this group.
