Use the toggle to activate or deactivate the allow call waiting for this endpoint. Call Waiting is a functionality that enables you to receive incoming calls while you are already in another call.

Music On Hold
Choose the music that will be played when a call is put on hold.

The username and password are automatically generated. You can use them to connect your phone to the system.
Record calls
You can select if you want the calls to be recorder or not. You have 3 options:
  • Yes
  • No
  • Default settings

Once you click on one of these options you will be able to customize the settings based on call type:
  • Inbound External
  • Inbound Internal
  • Outbound External
  • Outbound Internal
BLF
BLF stands for Busy Lamp Field and is a feature that allows you to monitor the status of other extensions or line. Choose one extension that you want to monitor from the dropdown menu.
Click on ''Save'' and all your new Endpoint will be added to the list.





Edit an Endpoint

If you want to edit an Endpoint all you have to do is go the main page and click on the Pencil. The same form will pop up where you can make all necessary changes.

You can also export the list of endpoints.
Click on ''Export'' in the upper right corner and you can choose between multiple formats:
  • Grid as CSV
  • Grid as XLS
  • Raw as CSV
  • Raw as JSON

If you have an Agent role, you don't have access to this functionality. You will need to ask your manager or supervisor to provide you with the username and password credentials that appear under the 'Add Endpoint' field.

What you can do from your interface is update your status—whether you are available for calls or not.
