X16 Auto Attendant Setup

The X16 auto attendant allows incoming calls to be answered and presented with a customized greeting. The greetings are called “day time OGM” and “night time OGM” (OGM is the abbreviation for Out Going Message). Once calls are answered, callers may dial an extension number and be immediately transferred to the destination associated with the digits they dialed. Callers may also dial zero for the assigned operator extension (301 by default), or they can dial seven to hear an additional custom greeting called the “Auxiliary OGM.” The Auxiliary OGM is typically used for recording a Company Directory.

Note: The only digits callers can dial are 301 through 399, zero or seven. If callers dial any other digits, or if no digits are dialed, there will be an eight-second delay before the call is transferred to the operator extension.
