Same great products, different brand name This case study makes reference to TalkSwitch products, which have been renamed FortiVoice. To find out more about the FortiVoice systems of today and how they can help your business, or if you have questions about the name change, call us toll-free at 1.

Frank LaGreca, his partner John Cahill, and their team of 20 staff members are constantly on the go, providing the residential and business community in the scenic coastal town with superior cleaning services. The franchise was using an old Bizfon system that could no longer handle the influx of calls from prospective customers or keep staff members working in the field connected. After putting up with this problem and patching the holes for far too long, LaGreca knew he needed to change the way his business communicated.

The fact that it continually dropped, misdirected and lost calls was very unsettling, and I absolutely hated how its lack of performance and functionality reflected a negative image on my business.

The number of updates we had to install was simply unacceptable and I knew that we had to change our phone system or we would continue to lose customers. Since over 20 other franchise locations were already using TalkSwitch phone systems to conduct business, they suggested he take a look at a TalkSwitch.

I knew right away that this was a company that understood how small businesses work, and that understands how to make products that fit the needs of those small businesses.

There had to be a reason why so many other MaidPro franchises were using the TalkSwitch solution, so it made complete sense to switch over to a proven, reliable phone system to handle my communications.

It walks you through the steps with ease. Page Remote Extension Voicemail 3. Ensure that the remote extension has been enabled, otherwise you will not be able to activate its voicemail.

An analog extension is a device standard phone, cordless phone, fax machine or modem connected to an extension jack on the TalkSwitch unit.

An IP extension can be internal or external. An external IP extension is an IP phone located outsidethe office. It is connected to the TalkSwitch system through the Internet. See Adding IP phoneS on page 82 for more information. Each TalkSwitch unit can have up to 16 local extensions.

Either four or eight local extensionscan be analog or IP extensions, depending on the model of the TalkSwitch unit. The remainingtwelve or eight local extensions can only be IP extensions.

All local extensions are active by default. If you plug a standard phone into an extension jack, itwill be ready to make and receive calls.

However configuration is required to set up anIP extension.

Select the language for prompts heard by the user of the extension in the System promptlanguage list. The layout ofthe area depends on the type of phone.

Status will change to Registered, and the IP address of the phone will appear. Set the Location of the phone. This is available for the Counterpath eyeBeamsoftphone only. Warning: Using an external IP extension to call an emergency service number will not sendthe correct address to the emergency operator. We strongly recommend that you apply awarning label to any external IP extension stating:If an emergency call is made from this phone, you must provide your address to theemergency operator.

Use one of the procedures below to identify the IP phone, depending on the makeand model. This method isavailable if you connected the phone to the LAN. If a phone has already been assigned to an extension, ExtAssignment shows the extension number, first name and last name. If a phone can beassigned to the extension, Ext Assignment shows Available. TalkSwitch TSi1. Set the MAC address of the phone. This is required if you are setting up anexternal IP extension.

The MAC address is printed under the base associated withthe handset. The MAC Selection window appears. A base can accommodate up to eighthandsets.

Select the Hunt Group Permissions tab. Set the check boxes in the Hunt Group Permissions area to control access to the hunt groups. Select a check box to grant access to the hunt group, or clear the check box to removeaccess.

If this is selected, the user cantransfer a call to a remote extension using the same telephone line that the caller is on. Theuser dials Flash, remote extension, and then Flash 4. The telephone company puts thecaller on hold, and the TalkSwitch system uses the same telephone line to try the remoteextension. Select the Caller ID Settings tab. Set each Caller ID used for service provider list to the phone number that should be displayedduring a call through the VoIP service provider.

Thisselection makes the most sense if your VoIP numbers have been configured to handle allinbound calls the same way. About call cascadesThe Call Handling area allows you to set up call cascades for the local extension. A call cascaderoutes an incoming call, depending upon whether the local extension is busy, unanswered,answered, or in Do Not Disturb mode.

You can set up different call cascades for Mode 1 and Mode2. When the system is in Holiday Mode, all the local extensions will either use their Mode 1 callcascades or their Mode 2 call cascades. For example, if a call reaches your desk and you are away, the call can be transferred to anotherlocal extension. If that extension is not answered, the call can be routed to your cell phone. Ifyou do not answer your cell phone, the call can be transferred to your voice mailbox. Note that the system can be configured to ignore the call cascade for an unanswered intercomcall, or for an unanswered transferred call.

Being routed by the call cascadeSecond, the call cascade routes the call. It can try up to three routing alternatives. If theextension is not available, the call cascade tries the first alternative. If that is not available, ittries the second. If the second alternative is not available, it goes to the third. The call can betransferred to a local extension, remote extension or general voice mailbox.

The systemhangs up after the caller leaves a message. The system hangs up after playing the announcement. The call isplaced on hold.

Select the Do Not Disturb tab. The administrator can enable or disable Do Not Disturb mode for a local extension by phone. Ignoring call cascades for unanswered intercom callsAn intercom call is an internal call from a local extension to another local extension, remoteextension or ring group. However you can configure the system to ignore call cascades for unansweredintercom calls.

See Internal Calls on page The Intercom Calls Options window appears. To have the system ignore call cascades for unanswered intercom calls, clear the Intercomcalls follow cascade settings check box. However, if a remote extension or ring group has call screening enabled, callscreening will occur. If the call is rejected, the system will follow the call cascade. Do not disturb on. If all the local extensions in a ring group have do not disturb modeenabled, the caller will hear a busy tone.

Ignoring call cascades for calls transferred from local extensionsA user at a local extension can transfer a call to another local extension, remote extension orring group.

In thiscase, the system will ring back the local extension that transferred the call, reconnecting theuser with the caller they transferred. The Transfer Preferences window appears. Select the appropriate tab.
