General Information
HOSTED Configuration → Manual Routing
In this tutorial, we will show you how to create a simple manual routing and how to configure it. Via the customer portal of peoplefone HOSTED you can now preconfigure different forwarding options under Manual Routings.
These predefined redirections can be flexibly controlled, respectively, these can then be switched on and off via a telephone device. For example, the manual routing can be used very well in a doctor’s office with a reception. Of course, there will be other uses for it. Depending on this, a receptionist must be able to easily and flexibly activate call forwarding. It is possible to forward the calls, for example, to an answering machine, to a group, to a mobile and much more.
Manual routing can only be used in peoplefone HOSTED and with provisioned terminals. It’s important to know that only with provisioned Yealink devices, a Switch On Rule, selection menu can be used.
For example, with SNOM devices, forwarding can only be enabled or disabled On / Off.
Call Flow Example
In our example, we have a doctor’s practice with a «Group 28, Reception», in which there are several devices. The Manual Routing has been configured so that if the forwarding is not active, the status «Off» , the calls are placed in the group. If forwarding is activated, the congestion is «On» , then the call is forwarded to the «User 20, Hans».
