FAQs

How do I dial from the CLI?

You'll need chan_oss for that. chan_oss provides a "dial" command form the CLI that literally connects the sound card (via chan_oss) to the outgoing line. By including the module chan_oss, you'll find a new "dial" command on the CLI.

I configured a new IVR and clicked the check box that states "Enable Directory". When I call in and type # I get "I'm sorry, that's not a valid extension." What did I do wrong?

You must install Information Services, It provides a number of applications accessible by feature codes:

• Company directory
• Call Trace (last call information)
• Echo Test
• Speaking Clock
• Speak Current Extension Number
