Type 3 —Transfer to an Existing Announcement
If the information needed by callers—for example, your business
hours or a mailing address—can be provided in an announcement,
use this type of transfer. When a caller presses the Selector Code,
the caller hears a prerecorded announcement. Be sure to complete
MERLIN MAIL Form H: Automated Attendant Announcements. The
announcement must already exist before you can program this
transfer type.
Type 4 —Prompt for an Extension
Callers must enter a Selector Code before they can dial an indivi-
dual extension. Use this type of transfer if your company’s exten-
sions coincide with the Selector Codes the company wants to use.
For example, if all company extensions begin with 1 or 2, use Selec-
tor Codes 1 and 2 and Transfer Type 4 to enable a transfer from the
Day Main Menu following a prompt.
Type 5 —Transfer Directly to an Extension
Callers can dial an individual extension from the Day Main Menu if
the Selector Code(s) matching the first digit(s) of the extensions in a
company are reserved for this type of transfer. For example, if all
company extensions begin with 1 or 2, use Selector Codes 1 and 2
to enable a direct transfer from the Day Main Menu. This allows the
system to recognize the caller’s selection as an extension.
Number
For Transfer Type 1, 2, or 3, write in the corresponding extension number,
announcement number, or submenu number to which the Selector Code
will transfer a call. Transfer Types 4 and 5 do not require an entry in the
Number column.
Destination
Write in the name of the submenu, announcement, business function, or
extension destination where the call will be transferred when the caller
enters a Selector Code.
