    • Advanced
    • Account 
    • Advanced Tab
      • Call Settings - Here is where you can control setting related to calling features.
        • Forward - Let's you define a phone number you want all calls forwarded to. If blank, then you have no call forwarding enabled, and callers will ring your extension.
        • Follow Me - This lets you define one or more numbers that you want to be called when your extension is called. Once you define one or more numbers here, you will get a new section shown called Follow Me Settings , as defined below.
        • Call Waiting - If set to On and you are on an active call already, and an additional call comes for your User, that call will be sent to your extension as an additional new call. If turned Off and you are on an active call, and an additional call comes in for your User, the Caller will be sent to your busy voicemail greeting.
        • Do Not Disturb - If set to Off, inbound callers will reach your devices. If set to On, all inbound callers will be sent right to your busy voicemail greeting.
      • Follow Me Settings - This section is only displayed if you have one or more numbers already defined in the Follow Me box above.
        • Answer Confirmation - If a call is sent to an external number such as your Cell Phone, this will require you to press 1 before the Caller is transferred upon you answering the call from your external number. This is done to keep the Caller from going to your cell phone voicemail box if your cell phone is turned off or out of range.
        • Delay between devices - This is how long we should wait before calling your Follow Me list of numbers. If you set this to a setting like 5 seconds, then the first 5 seconds will be just your desk phone ringing, and only if you do not answer after 5 seconds will it start to ring the numbers in your Follow Me list above.
        • Ring timeout - How long to call all the numbers in the Follow Me list above before giving up and sending the call to your Users voicemail box.

Your Follow Me will automatically be disabled during regular business hours and will only enable itself during the time you select, using the Time Condition you pick here. 
        • CLID Prefix - You can set the Caller ID Name prefix here to be added to all calls when a call flows through your Follow Me here. Note this feature may not work with external numbers as many carriers will ignore the Caller ID Name we send.
        • User Company CallerID - When calling an external phone number, by default, the system will send the Inbound Callers Caller ID as the outbound call. Setting this on will force it to override that with your user's external Caller ID that your Client Admin has setup for your User.
      • Language - Pick from which Language the Web GUI will be shown in from a drop-down of support languages.
