Calls to Specific Extensions Through an IVR
User-B Calls Customer Service Specialist. The drawing below shows a call coming into a particular
product specialist in the Whirlygig Customer Service Department from customer concerned about a
“Zanfraditron” device (a fictional product contrived for this example). The PBX is equipped with an IVR
(which produces outgoing messages and allows DTMF in return from the caller) at extension 8600. In
response to the outgoing message, the caller dials the desired extension for the Zanfraditron specialist on
the TalkAnytime keypad and the connection is made.
The main settings of the TalkAnytime Configuration Program, Phonebook, and web server URL that are
required to allow this kind of incoming call are shown in the second drawing below. Note that, especially
for the T1/E1/ISDN parameters, your settings must simply conform to the requirements of your PBX;
there is no set of routine default values that can be depended upon to be widely applicable.
