Trusted Locations

A "trusted location" can be set via the Source Numbers tab in the User's configuration form. Note that external numbers used as trusted locations must provide ICLID.

These are locations that the System allows either data access, eg. a user dialing in from home, or access to Voicemail without a Voicemail Code, eg. a user collecting his Voicemail messages from a cell phone, or the location the Voicemail Server calls to inform the user of a new message.

 

Allow Direct Voicemail Access

To allow a User to collect Voicemail without being prompted for their Voicemail Code (only supported by Voicemail Lite and Voicemail Pro using IP Office mode). Prefix the number with a "V".

By default, each user is configured with their extension as a "trusted location", which enables them to dial *17 (default short code) from their own extension to collect Voicemail messages.

 

Allow RAS/Data Access from a Specified number

To allow RAS/data access only from a specified number, prefix the number (defined in the Source Numbers tab) with a "R".

 

Instruct Voicemail to Call the User

To have the Voicemail Server call the user when a new message has arrived for a Hunt Group, prefix the Hunt Group name with a "H".

When the hunt group receives a new message, the Voicemail Server rings the extension and informs the user.

 

Instruct Voicemail to Call the User at Another Location

To have the Voicemail Server call the user at a location other than their own extension when a new message is received, prefix the number (defined in the Source Numbers tab) with a "P". The telephone number must include any necessary external dialing prefix.

This facility is only available if using Voicemail Pro and through which the user has a Callback start point set.
