Feature codes

Feature codes are numbers (for example *97) you can dial to trigger events or change the behaviour of your IPBX.

Feature codes can be found in VoIP Services > Feature Codes. These codes can be modified if required, in order to emulate the behaviour of the legacy PBX that users were used to deal with.

1. Call forward

Example: calling *72 from your phone will prompt you to enter a call forward number and will activate call forwarding to that number

2. Hot Desking

Hot desking allows users to travel to a remote location and to log in/out on any phone. When logged in, all calls to that user will be sent to the phone she/he is logged on. Whe the user calls, her/his caller-ID will be used. This feature is very useful for nomadic users with no dedicated phone (like sales reps).

To be used, Hot Desking must be activated in the advanced settings of the user.

Example: calling *11 + the hotdesking ID on a phone will log your user on that phone.

3. Miscellaneous

Example: calling *97 gets you to your voicemail (we strongly recommend not to modify this feature code as the VMail key on hardphones is automatically provisioned to that value)

Example: calling *8 followed by someone’s extension will pick up her/his ringing phone (we strongly recommend not to modify this feature code as call pickup on hardphones is automatically provisioned to that value)

Example: calling *9 allows you to record a Media File from your phone. This media file can then be renamed and used in a call flow.
