Adding Phone Numbers to a Follow Me List

• You can edit and add any numbers you want to be dialed when activating your Follow Me. Press the Change button to edit this option. In our example below, you can see there are currently two numbers in our list.
  
  

• You can scroll through the group list and see all the numbers that will be called as part of your Follow Me. You can then add a new number by pressing the Add New button.
  
  

• You'll be prompted with a text box to enter the number. Enter the number the same way you would dial it from your phone and press the Done button when done.
  
  

• You should now see the number you just added to your Group List. Additionally, you can delete any number from the Group List by using your up/down scroll arrows, highlighting the number you want and pressing the Delete button.
  
  

Initial Ring Time

• Here you can choose how long you want the PBX to call your normal extension (up to 60 seconds) before it calls the phone numbers in your Group List. Set this to 0 if you do NOT want the system to call your desk phone first. Remember, you can include your own extension in your Group List of numbers to be dialed. Enter a value between 0 and 60 seconds.
  
  

• Once the time is entered, press the Done button.

Ring Time

• Here you can choose how long you want the PBX to call all of your phone numbers that you have listed in your Group List (up to 60 seconds). Enter a value between 1 and 60 seconds.
  
  

• Once the time is entered, press the Done button.

Managing Confirm Calls

When "Confirm Calls" is enabled, the system will prompt any external numbers that are dialed from your Follow Me with an option to press 1 to accept the call. This will prevent your cell phone's voicemail from answering the call. Press the Change button for the Confirm Calls option to toggle confirm calls to No or Yes.
