CONFIGURE YOUR FOLLOW-ME FEATURE
Your Premium User subscription includes a powerful personal call routing feature called Follow-Me. You can control how the system will try to reach your when you receive an incoming call. In the menu at the top of the User Portal screen:
Click to select the Applications menu, then
choose the Follow-Me option.
Click the Enabled in the Follow-Me section to
enable this feature. As its name suggests, the Disabled option disables the
Follow-Me feature. When disabled, the system will send incoming calls to your
personal voicemail if the call is not answered.
In the example pictured above, the system will start ringing your extension (101) immediately (Delay = 0) when the system receives an incoming call for this extension. The system will continue to ring extension 101 for 30 seconds (Timeout = 30). Then, after 10 seconds (approximately 2 rings), the system will call the external number 5555555555, and will ring that number for 30 seconds. The Confirm in the Validation column, tell the system to ask the called party to press one (1) to accept the call, this will prevent the call from going to an external voicemail system, for example your cell phone voicemail.
