Function 4: Auto attendant programming IP Series Installation Manual
G.4
(In the example above, the branch IDs and branch titles shown are for programming purposes only. The caller needs only
to press 1, 2, etc., to move through the choices.)
Here is the sequence for programming the IP Series system’s auto attendant:
1. Branch ID — A numeric designator which indicates its location and relationship to the other
branches. There can be up to 6 levels of branches, the first level being a single digit, the sec-
ond level being two digits, and so on.
The Main Greeting is ID1 (or additionally 2 through 8 if a different greetings for different
Lines is desired), then each of its sub-branches will have that number plus an additional digit
of its own (corresponding to choices given to the caller, shown here in bold): 11, 12, 13, etc.
Menu Branch 123 would have sub-branches 1231, 1232, etc.
2. Type — Select a Menu, GoTo, or Directory Branch.
3. Name — Enter the name to help identify the branch for later programming changes and is also
the source for LCD display information at user’s phones and reports.
