Switchvox - Extension Settings
This file describes Switchvox version 8.2.2.1. If you are using an earlier version, use Switchvox - Extension Settings (6.0) .
The Extension Settings screen allows you to set the default System Settings and to define Custom Settings for a phone extension.
System Settings (tab)
The System Settings tab allows you to make General Settings and External Authentication.
General Settings
Extension Length. Select 3, 4, 5, or 6 digits. This is the length of the extensions in Switchvox. Changing this number does not change existing extensions.
NOTE: If you specify an extension length that is longer than some existing extensions, there may be a slight delay in internal dialing. For example, if you call a 3-digit extension, Switchvox waits a moment before connecting the call, to see if you are going to dial a fourth digit (or fifth or sixth).
Beep after an assisted transfer. YES indicates you want to play a beep sound when an assisted transfer is done. For example: Jill puts Jack on hold then calls Jane, and asks her if she can speak with Jack. Jane agrees, and Jill transfers Jack to Jane. When the transfer is complete the beep is played, Jill is off the call, and Jack and Jane are on the call and can begin talking.
External Authentication
Beginning with Switchvox release 6.6, organizations using a directory service such as Active Directory can set up Switchvox so its phone-users can authenticate (log in) with their username and password from that directory service by selecting the LDAP user authorization type. For details, see Switchvox - Active Directory and LDAP .
Sangoma Talk Mobile Settings
Emergency Numbers
List each number separated by a comma. This defines the number(s) that will be dialed using the mobile phone's native phone app. When one of these numbers is dialed, the call is not placed using the Sangoma Connect Mobile app, it’s placed using the mobile phone’s native phone app.
Refresh Connection to Sangoma Cloud
You should not need to use this button unless directed by a Sangoma Technical Support representative. This refreshes the connection between Switchvox and Sangoma Cloud server, but does not require users' Sangoma Talk apps to be reconfigured.

If you do not enter any settings here, Sangoma Connect Mobile will use the settings defined for the extension, and in Phone Network.
