You may also view your contacts by expanding the  Contacts  tab at the bottom right-hand side of the portal’s home page. Hovering over a contact will allow you to interact with that contact.

Answering Rules

IMPORTANT:  Most Users do not change Answering Rules or Time Frames. These are considered advanced features.

• Time Frame 
  
  - Select the time frame when this answering rule will apply.

  Caution:  Once a Time Frame is deleted, it will not revert back to default settings. Time Frames must be set in order to function. Please remember to add a Time Frame after one is deleted.

  
  
• Do Not Disturb
  
   - No phone rings, goes straight to voicemail if available.
  
• Call Screening
   - Prompts caller to say their name, lets you screen the call before accepting.
  
  
  
  
  Call Forwarding options.
  
  
• Always
  
   - Immediately forwards to the number specified.
  
• On Active
  
   - Forward calls to the number specified when you have one or more calls active.
  
• When Busy
  
   -  Forwards calls to the number specified when the terminating device returns a 486 SIP response code.
  
• When Unanswered 
  
  - Forwards calls to the number specified if the call is not answered after the specified ring timeout.
  
• Call Forwarding when Offline
  
   - Automatically forwards if your desk phone loses communication (such as during a power outage).
  
  
• Simultaneous Ring
  
  - Rings many phones at once. Check box options allow you to:
  
• Include the user's extension
  
• Ring all your user's phones
• Use the option: Answer confirmation for offnet numbers to ensure that a person - not a voicemail - answers simrings to a cell/ landline by prompting the answering party to press 1 to accept the call. An icon to the right of this option allows you to specify a ring delay.
  

NOTE: A simring rings handsets, not users. So, for example, if 111 is listed, the simring will ring handset 111. If user 111 has a call forward set to their cell, however, the simring will not occur at the cell since simring rings handsets, not users.

• Just Ring User's Extension
  
   - Rings just your phone.
  

Time Frames

By clicking  Time Frames  in the navigation bar, you can create a new Time Frame as well as view existing time frames. To create a new time frame, click Add Time Frame. You will then be presented with 3 options of Always, Days of the week and times, and Specific Dates or ranges. Time frames can be used to adjust your answering rules.

Phones

The Phones menu will display registered devices for your extension (mobile app, desk phone, & web phone.)

You can edit the buttons displayed on your phone’s screen, however, some of the buttons have been preprogrammed and cannot be changed. Buttons that cannot be edited will display a lock to the right of the button.

To edit your phone’s buttons, select the gear next to the device you wish to edit and press “Yes” on the confirmation pop-up. You can now edit the buttons on your phone using the ellipsis button. In the top right you will see a directory where you may edit how contacts are displayed. TelWare has preprogrammed some of these buttons and cannot be changed.
