Enter a Phone No. to use as the CLID.
Variable
Set the CLID to the phone no. contained in the given Variable.
Set CLID Name
Allows you to control the CLID Name that is presented.
This will generally only work for inbound and internal calls and allows you to display a message on the dialed handset along with the CLID.
CLID Name
If 'Set the CLID' is ticked then this value will be used as the CLID name.
Timeout
Controls how long the call should ring the no. before giving up (as the call was not answered) and progressing to the next route step.
You can use the Timeout to fail over to try a second phone, play a message, send the call to a voicemail box etc.
If not set timeout will default to 30 seconds.
Override Trunk Group
Normally the dial command will route the Call via a Trunk Group. In some rare cases you may want to over-ride the standard handling and explicitly select a Trunk Group.
Trunk
The Trunk Group to dial through.
Enable Whisper
Enable Whisper and select a BMM to play when the Called Party answers the call. Only the Called Party will hear the message.
Whisper On Answer
Select the message to play when Enable Whisper is enabled. Use this feature to inform the Called Party of the purpose of the cal. e.g. The service or brand.
Return On Success
When checked, if the Dial is answered then the Route Target will return immediately and no further steps in this Route Target will be executed.
A good example of the use of this option is creating a Dial Step followed by a Voicemail Step. You want the call to go to voice mail only when the call isn't answered.
