Configuring the Gateway

There are different ways of how to handle incoming calls from the PSTN. Typically calls placed to the company number are routed to an auto-attendant, where the caller has the option to reach an operator if necessary but otherwise can reach an extension directly or dial by name.

...

The generic system greeting that plays to all callers by default is �Welcome Welcome to the — Communication System.�  To replace this informational prompt, you can record a set of greetings, each appropriate for a different situation, and specify which greeting the auto-attendant should play.

...

The initial Auto Attendant prompt plays immediately after the system greeting. By default, this prompt is �If If you know your party's extension, you may dial it at any time. To dial by name, press 9. To reach the company operator, press 0."

...

To customize the options available when this prompt plays, you associate one of the dial pad buttons on a touch tone phone�0 phone0 through 9, star , and pound (#)�with with one of these functions:
