General Preferences
The General Preferences tab gives you several useful global settings for
your Asterisk Appliance 50.
Global Outbound CID - This setting specifies the default global Cal-
lerID that is used for all outgoing calls when no other CallerID of a
higher priority is specified.
Global Outbound CID Name - This setting specifies the default Cal-
lerID name that is used for all outgoing calls. You may wish to set this
to your company’s name. Leave this value blank if you want the user’s
CallerID name to appear on outbound calls.
Operator Extension - Select the user extension from the drop-down
list which will be dialed when a user or caller presses “0” to exit voice-
mail. It is also available as a Voice Menu option.
Ring Timeout - Specify the number of seconds to ring a device before
sending a call to a user’s voicemail box or Follow Me numbers.
Enable Idle Image Display - Select this option to enable the display
of an image on a phones LCD display when the phone is idle.
VoIP Phone Digit Map - This option gives you the ability to define a
global digit mapping string compatible with RFC 3435, section 2.1.5,
to be used with VoIP phones provisioned by this system. There is no
default setting, and this option does not sync with the dialplan
assigned to an individual user. The following examples should assist in
writing an acceptable digit mapping string.
–
[2-9]11 - Calls beginning with digits 2-9, followed by digits 11, are
dialed immediately.
–
0T - Calls beginning with digit 0 are dialed after the Digit Timeout
is reached.
