Click this button to edit the existing IVR configuration.
(Button)
Click this button to delete an existing IVR.
NOTE: Upon clicking the button, the following warning message will appear: "Are you sure you want to remove XYZ*?"*. If users click the Cancel button, then the action will be abandoned. On the contrary, if OK is clicked, the selected IVR will be deleted.
For more information, please refer to the screenshot.
(Button)
Once a user clicks the 'Add IVR' button, s(he) will be prompted to a different section where s(he) can configure all the details for a certain IVR.
NOTE: Please make sure to create a greeting sound before adding a new IVR.
Users can create one by dialing '*301' from the UAD/phone or by uploading a custom sound file from a computer through the 'System' -> 'Sounds' section.
¶ IVR
¶ General
- IVR Name
Enter a unique IVR name (identifier)
(E.g. This name will be displayed once IVRs are accessed.)
([a-z][0-9])
NOTE: This is a required field.
- IVR Number
Enter a unique IVR number
(E.g. This number should be be dialed in order to access this specific IVR.)
([0-9])
NOTE: This is a required field.
- Greeting
Select a greeting sound file
(E.g. Once a user enters the IVR number, a greeting with instructions is played, for instance "Welcome. For Sales Press 1...". )
(Select box)
NOTE: This is a required field, and it is highly recommended that the greeting file name starts with 'greeting-***'.
To record a custom greeting message, users can dial '*301' from their Extension. This newly recorded greeting file will have the current date stamp in the title. For example, if the greeting was recorded on 17th of May, 2020, then the title would be as shown -> 'greeting-May-17-2020'.
- IVR Type
Select a desired IVR type
(E.g. Standard IVR)
(Select box)
NOTE: Users can choose between four different IVR types:
1. Standard IVR - It is used for a small range of options (0-9).
2. Multi-digit IVR - It is used for a wider range of options (10-9999999999).
3. PIN-based IVR - It is used for dialing local/remote Destinations by providing a pre-set IVR PIN number.
4. Meeting IVR - It is used when a user wants to join the Conference only via audio. A user needs to call a DID that is connected to a Meeting IVR and follow the instructions in order to join a Meeting. The necessary information (Meeting Number and Participant ID) is provided in an e-mail when the Meeting is being created.
NOTE: If the 'Meeting IVR' type is selected, the pre-recorded system's greeting is used and the field is therefore grayed out. Since the user gets asked for the Meeting Number immediately in the Greeting, the “Play Greeting” option will define how many times s(he) can miss saying a Meeting number and get re-prompted.
- Destination Type
Set a proper 'Destination Type' for each digit pressed
(E.g. 'Extension')
(Select box)
Users can choose among the following 'Destination Types':
• IVR - After selecting this 'Destination Type', enter the number of the IVR in the 'Destination' field.
• Queue - After selecting this 'Destination Type, enter the number of the Queue in the 'Destination' field.
• Conference - After selecting this 'Destination Type', enter the number of the Conference in the 'Destination' field.
• Extension - After selecting this 'Destination Type', enter the number of the Extension.
• Ring Group - After selecting this 'Destination Type, enter the number of the Ring Group in the 'Destination' field.
• Voicemail - After selecting this 'Destination Type', enter the number of the Extension that will point to its Voicemail in the 'Destination' field.
• Directory - After selecting this 'Destination Type, the 'Destination' field will be grayed out, but for further configuration, please refer to the screenshot below.
• Remote Access - After selecting this 'Destination Type', choose between 'Destinations' or 'Voicemail'.
• Fax to E-mail - After selecting this 'Destination Type', enter the number to which the specific fax will be sent as an e-mail.
• Call External Number - After selecting this 'Destination Type', define an external number.
• CRM Routing - After selecting this 'Destination Type', select a specific CRM rule.
- Destination
Select a specific Destination to which the call would be redirected
(E.g. If 'Extension' is set as a 'Destination Type', then a specific Extension number should be entered in this field.)
(Select box)
EXAMPLE: Once a greeting message (e.g. 'Press 1 for Sales') is played to the caller, s(he) should be redirected to a specific Destination. Users can here set a Destination to which the call would go after the caller presses '1'. So, if John from the Sales department is to be reached after this digit is pressed, then 'Extension' pointing to John should be selected in this field. In case users want to provide additional options to the caller, they can point him/her to another IVR with its separate set of options by selecting 'IVR' here.
Click the 'More Options' button to access additional settings.
(Button)
Once this button is clicked, the window for more options will be opened. If one of the following 'Destination Types' is chosen, users can configure two fields 'Default CallerID' and 'Language': IVR, Conference, Extension, Ring Group, Voicemail, Remote Access, Fax to E-mail, CRM Routing.
- Default CallerID
Enter a default Caller ID that would override the incoming Caller ID with some custom information
(E.g. It is useful to know from which IVR the call is coming. By setting 'LobbyIVR' here, all calls coming through this IVR will be displayed as 'Lobby IVR' on the phone display. To show the actual phone number along with the name, use '%CALLERID%' with the same text (e.g. 'Lobby IVR %CALLERID%'). This will display 'Lobby IVR 55528790' on the phone display, where '55528790' represents the phone number of the person calling us.)
([a-z][0-9])
NOTE: Users can enter %CALLERID%, %CALLERIDNUM%, and %CALLERIDNAME%.
- Language
Set a language used for this 'Destination Type'
(E.g. us)
([a-z])
If Queue is set as a 'Destination Type', after clicking the 'More Options' button, one additional field will appear:
- Queue Priority
Set the priority in regards to other callers in that Queue, with '1' having the highest priority
(E.g. 5)
([0-9])
If Directory is set as a 'Destination Type', after clicking the 'More Options' button, more additional fields will appear:
- Read Extension Number
If this option is ticked, the system will spell the Extension number after the Extension name.
(Check box)
- Search for Name
Select whether to search the directory by first name, last name, or both
(E.g. 'Last Name')
(Select box)
- Department Filter
Select the department that will be applied to this directory
(E.g. 'None', 'Accounting', etc.)
(Select box)
- Exit Digit
Select the exit digit that a user can press to exit the Directory app at any moment
(E.g. '#' or '0')
(Select box)
If Call External Number is set as a 'Destination Type', after clicking the 'More Options' button, users will only have to set the 'Default CallerID' option.
Clicking 'Show Advanced Options' will result in the additional configuration being displayed.
- Status
Rather than deleting the IVR, users can set its status to 'Off'. This will make the IVR inactive and all calls will be transferred to 'Operator Extension'.
(E.g. 'Lobby IVR' has this option set to 'Off'. John dials this IVR number, e.g. 1003, but instead of receiving further IVR instructions, his call is transferred to 'Operator Extension'.)
(Options button)
- Operator Extension
Choose the Operator Extension to which all calls will be redirected if the 'IVR Status' is set to 'Off'
(E.g. 'Lobby IVR' has the 'Status' set to 'Off'. John dials this IVR but instead of receiving further IVR instructions, his call is transferred to the Extension Number provided here.)
(Select box)
- Disable CallerID (PIN-based IVR only)
Disable a CallerID but only for PIN-based IVRs
(E.g. 'Yes')
(Options button)
¶ General Settings
- Response Timeout (sec)
Define the time period in seconds during which an IVR option must be dialed by the user
(E.g. John enters the Sales IVR and hears the instructions. If this field is set to '4', John will have 4 seconds to dial an IVR option.)
([0-9])
- RTP Delay (sec)
Define the delay time in seconds inserted before the IVR greeting message is played
(E.g. The user A enters the IVR and hears this incomplete message: "..me. For sales press 1". If this field is set to '1', there will be a one-second pause before the message is played. Now, when the user A enters the IVR, s(he) will hear "Welcome. For Sales press 1").
([0-9])
NOTE: This solves the 'half-played' file problem. Please keep this value between 1-3.
- Digit Timeout (sec)
Define the timeout in seconds during which a new digit must be dialed. This option is used with Multi-digits IVR.
(E.g. John has entered the IVR and wants to dial the '25' option. If '1' is provided in this field, John will have one second to dial number '2', and additional one second to dial number '5'. If the time exceeds, and John hits '5' too late, IVR will assume that John has dialed option '2' instead of '25'.)
([0-9])
- Rings to Answer
Define the number of rings played to the caller before a call is allowed to enter the IVR
(E.g. Rather than just 'falling' into IVR, it is recommended to set the number of ring sounds played to the caller.)
([0-9])
NOTE: This is a required field.
- Fax Email
Enter an e-mail address to which all received faxes should be mailed
([a-z][0-9])
NOTE: In order for this option to work, users need to enable 'Fax Detection' in 'Settings' -> 'Protocols' -> the 'SIP' page.
¶ Greeting Options
- Play Greeting
Define the number of times that the greeting message is played to the caller
(E.g. John enters the sales IVR and hears the IVR options. If John does not dial one of the options, the IVR options sound file will be played again, a number of times set in this field, before the call gets transferred to 'Timeout Destination').
(Select box)
NOTE: This is a required field, and if there is no response from the calling party within this time, the call is disconnected.
- Timeout Destination
Select the Extension Number to which the IVR call will be transferred if there is no response from the user during the 'Play Greeting' time period
(E.g. John enters the sales IVR and hears the IVR options. If John does not dial one of the options, the IVR options sound file will be played again, a number of times set in 'Play Greeting' field, before the call gets transferred to the Extension Number provided here.)
(Select box)
- Is Voicemail
Set whether the 'Timeout Destination' is pointing to voicemail or not
(E.g. 'No')
(Options button)
¶ Operation Times
For more information on 'Operation Times', please refer to the following link HOWTO Operation Times
¶ Ringing Type
- Ringing Type
Select the ringing type played back to the calling party before they enter the IVR
(E.g. Rather than just 'falling' into IVR, play the ring sound to the user or music files located under the MOH class.)
(Select box)
NOTE: This is a required field.
- Music on Hold
Select the MOH/Music on Hold class that is played to users after they make a selection in IVR

(Select box)
NOTE: This is a required field.
- Custom Ringtone
Select a custom ringtone that will be heard when a phone set as a Destination in IVR rings
(E.g. If the caller in IVR presses '3' and a Linksys phone is used for that Destination, it will ring with this ringtone, ie. .)
([a-z][0-9])
¶ Local Dialing
- Dial Local/Network Destinations
Enable dialing local network Extensions or proper/mobile phone numbers
By setting this option to 'Yes', the IVR will be allowed to dial local network Extensions only.
(E.g. If IVR has this option set to 'Yes', only local network Extensions will be accessible from this IVR. Please note that no proper/mobile numbers would be dialed.)
(Option buttons)
- Fax Dialing
Set this option to 'Yes' to send a fax to e-mail to any local Extension which is dialed
(E.g. If John dials an IVR which has this option turned on, he will have the ability to dial the local Extension number to which the system will generate a fax tone. He will then send a fax which will be sent to e-mail of the Extension that he dialed.)
(Option buttons)
NOTE: In PBXware v6, this option is enabled by default.
- Enable Range Limit
This option tells the system which Extensions on the local network IVR will be able to be dialed
(E.g. Yes, No, Not Set)
(Option buttons)
- Start At
Define the starting number in the available range of Extensions

- Exclude List
Define any Extension in this field that cannot be called from that IVR even if it is within the set range
(E.g. 1005)
([0-9])
¶ Permissions
Permissions are used to allow an organization to restrict who is able to enter an IVR. In particular, there are organizations where access to the IVR is only allowed to callers with a valid account number, but it can be used for other similar purposes.
- Account Access Only
Allow only certain PBXware Extensions to access the IVR
(E.g. If this option is set to 'Yes', only Extension numbers set under the 'Account list' will be allowed to access this IVR.)
(Option buttons)
- Account List
Define local Extension numbers that will be allowed to enter this IVR
(E.g. If John dials this IVR, but his Extension number is not in the 'Account list', he will be transferred to 'Sales Extension'.)
([0-9])
NOTE: If 'Account Access Only' is set to 'Yes', this is a required field, and local Extension numbers have to separated with a single space in this field.
- Sales Extension
Define the Extension number to which all calls which are not in the 'Account list' will be redirected after not entering the IVR
(E.g. If John dials this IVR, but his Extension number is not in the 'Account list', he will be transferred to the Extension number provided here.)
([0-9])
NOTE: If 'Account Access Only' is set to 'Yes', this is a required field.
¶ Multi-Digit IVR Codes
The only difference between 'Standard IVR' and 'Multi-digit IVR' is that the latter accepts two or more digits as a response, for example, numbers between 10-100. Therefore 'Multi-digit IVR' gives more options compared to the 'Standard IVR', but some advanced features are excluded.

NOTE: This is a required field, and it is viewed by the Administrator only.
- Destination
Set a PBXware Destination to which a call will be transferred once the 'Access code' is dialed from the Multi-digit IVR
(E.g. John enters the Multi-digit IVR and dials '99', and this 'Destination' is set to lead to the PBXware Extension '1000'. When John dials '99', he will be transferred to the PBXware 'Destination' provided here.)
([0-9])
NOTE: This is a required field.
¶ PIN-Based IVR
PIN-based IVR allows dialing local/remote Destinations by providing a pre-set IVR PIN number. PIN-based IVR is commonly used for temporary cases. PIN with an expiration date is useful when there is no need for a permanent IVR option. After a certain ‘Expiry Date’, the same defined PIN will not be valid. PIN-based IVR lacks some advanced features.
