Hi, I'm trying to set up a DID which will simultaneously ring a group of internal extensions and outside #'s (mobile phones). The caller to the DID would be connected to whichever party answers first.
I read (and tested) that a hunt group cannot be used to initiate outbound external calls. So I tried to do this as follows:
- Create phantoms which are call forwarded to the mobile #'s. Each phantom works as expected.
- Assign a DID in a routing table to one of the phantoms to test. Works as expected so you can use a DID to reach an outside # through a phantom.
-Create a station extension list including the desired phantom extensions and real stations.
- Assign the extension list to a DID in a routing table. This can be so configured but calls to the DID don't ring through the phantoms to the outside #'s. Only the internal real stations ring.
Have I discovered that station extension lists can't be used to initiate outbound calls?
Is there some other way to get this to work?
I also own but have never used a desktop universal call router server. Can it be used to accomplish this?
I have asked Inter-Tel through my sales engineer but they don't know how this can be done.
The application BTW is to provide a single number to our burglar alarm monitoring service so that they don't have to call down a lengthy call list but can make one call and reach the first person available.
