Sounds

The settings plays an audible sound through your computer's speakers, or headphones attached to your computer.

  • Always. Plays a sound regardless of the status of the Switchboard. This means you can have it open, in the background, another program on top of it, viewing a different tab, etc., and it will always play a sound for the desired notification.

  • Only when not focused. Only plays a sound when the current Switchboard window is not open. This includes having another program running over the Switchboard window or having another browser tab open and being on that tab.

  • Never. No sound is played.

 

Page

  • No. Does not display the pop-up message.

Make Calls With

The Make Calls With setting allows you to indicate an additional phone to set up as the call source, such as a softphone or cellphone. When selected, enter a number into the Enter a number box on the Switchboard and press Dial. The Switchvox will call this phone, wait for you to answer, then connect the call to the number you entered. This allows your calls to appear as though they are coming from your office extension, even if you are remote.
