Precedence
Enhanced services are ordered by priority (marked by numbers 01, 02 ...). A higher priority equals higher precedence of the enhanced service. For example, due to the similarity of 'Follow Me' and 'Group Hunt' services, if both are enabled, 'Follow Me' will be executed due to higher precedence.
Each service has two or more accessibility options:
- Allowed
- PIN Required
- Not allowed
To enable specific service, press select button next to the available icon for that particular service and click save. If service requires additional settings edit button next to it will become available after saving. Pressing edit button will open up a window with additional options for that specific service.
¶ CallerID
Custom Caller ID which will be displayed on the UAD/Phone of the called party. Any information provided here will override the default Caller ID (Extension number and user name)
- System/Network Caller ID
Information provided here will replace default Caller ID information on the System/Network level.
(E.g. Set this option to 'Jake 2007' and call extension 1005, for example. On the display of the 1005 UAD/Phone, 'Jake 2007' will be displayed as a caller id information on system/network level.)
- Emergency CallerID
CallerID entered here will be used only for calls to Emergency Services numbers as set on your PBXware system.
- Allowed list of CallerIDs (via App and Access Code)
You can add list of CallerIDs that you would like to allow to be used for outbound calls. This option can be used from gloCOM desktop by simply selecting caller ID number from the list in your gloCOM client. Although, this option is impractical to use on the deskphone itself you can still use it by entering *65*[Caller ID number as entered in the list]*[Number you wish to dial] on your dialpad.
(E.g. If you have a Caller ID number 02033998800 added to this list, and you would like to dial number 0019542788470 using this caller ID you would have to dial *65*02033998800*0019542788470)
NOTE: (*65 by default) - This Access code was modified to support the shortcode CallerIDs. The original way of using it is still supported, but with another pattern added: *65dxxxxxx.
The pattern stands for:
1. *65 is the Access code
2. d is the single-digit shortcode configured on the Extension
3. xxxxxx is the Destination to be dialed
In case no CallerID is matched with the sent shortcode provided for that Extension, the call will fail. Otherwise, the CallerID associated with that short code will be used.
NOTE: Numbers with the '+' (plus) sign can be added to the field.
-
Trunk CallerID and Privacy header
-
Default Caller ID (6.7.5)
If you do not need to use a different caller ID for each of your trunks, from version 6.7.5, you can utilize the Default Caller ID option and set a main caller ID which will be used for outbound calls across all trunks available to the extension. Before, the administrators had to set a caller ID for each trunk individually, even if the caller ID was the same, and they would also have to edit each extension and set the caller ID whenever a new trunk was assigned, so the addition of this option will save a lot of time for our customers.
Trunk Caller ID have a higher priority, so populating it will allow you to use a different caller ID on some of your trunks, if necessary, while still using Default Caller ID on most trunks.
In addition, for each trunk available on the system, there will be a field in which you may set a custom Caller ID that is used when calling over that specific trunk.
(E.g. John Cricthon)
- Privacy
What anonymity to use when setting CallerID on a trunk. If selected option contains Privacy ID that field will be added to SIP header.
- Anonymous - will add "anonymous <anonymous>" in trunk CallerID field, which means that CallerID name and number will be set to anonymous when dialing out of that trunk.
- Anonymous with Privacy ID - Same as above but adds Privacy ID to SIP header.
- Anonymous with number - Sets “anonymous” to CallerID name but allows showing number.
- Anonymous with number and Privacy ID - Same as above but adds Privacy ID to SIP header.
¶ Call Pickup
This service enables user to pickup ringing calls of the same call group. Dial '*8' to pickup a call from the same call group, or '*88 + $EXTENSION' (e.g. *88101) to pickup calls from different call groups.
NOTE: Extension can be a member of only one Call Group, but it can be a member of more than one Pickup Group.
For example:
Extension A
- Call Group = 1
- Pickup Group = 3,4
Extension B
- Call Group = 2
- Pickup Group = 1
If A is ringing, B can pick up the ringing call by dialing '*8'.
If B is ringing, A cannot pickup the ringing call because B's call group = 2, and A can pickup only call groups 3 and 4.)
TIP: Grouping works only within a technology (SIP to SIP or IAX to IAX).
¶ Last Caller
This service allows you to hear the extension number of the last caller and also to dial that number. Dial *149 to hear the extension number and then press ‘1’ to call it.
NOTE: Access code for this service can be customized through 'Settings -> Access Codes'
¶ Operation times
Gives users the ability to set call redirections under extension based on Operation times rules. Here you can set up destination to which call should be redirected and also time and days when you want to redirect it.

- Sequential - Destinations will ring one at a time, after the timeout call will move to the next destination in line
- Confirm calls
With this option enabled you can make sure that the call is answered by a person, not a voicemail.
(E.g. When picking up the call person needs to press ‘1’ (or another key on the phone) to answer the call. If that key is not pressed phone will keep ringing because it will be considered unanswered.)
Last Destination
- Last Destination:
This is the last destination that is called if all others from the 'Destination' list don't answer. Last destination can also be a voicemail if you check the option ‘Is Voicemail’.
(E.g. If this field is set to 1005 and none of the extensions answer, extension 1005 will be dialed.)
- Is Voicemail:
By checking this option voicemail will be set as a Last Destination.
¶ Call Filters & Blocking
This service filters and blocks all incoming calls based on a set of rules. For example, calls can be filtered based on whether they are anonymous or belong to specific caller or telemarketer.
TIP: Access code for this service can be customized through 'Settings: Access Codes'.
- Caller Number
Here you define which number will be blocked/filtered. You can set this for Anonymous caller or add some number by clicking ‘+’ sign.
- Destination Type
Type of the destination to where the call with the Caller Number will be directed. If the chosen type is 'Always Busy', once the extension set in Caller Number dials in, the Busy signal will be heard.
- Destination
This is where you enter the destination to which you want to direct calls if a suitable type is chosen.
(E.g. If the destination type is Call Forwarding or Voicemail you can set here an extension number [e.g. 1001]. If the destination type is a Ringtone you can set desired ringtone [e.g. <Simple-2>])
When a call comes in, it is handled in a way defined by the Destination Type select box depending if it’s for anonymous callers or for specific extensions.
For Anonymous callers:
- Call Forward
Incoming call is forwarded to a given number in the Destination field.
- Privacy Manager
To reach you, anonymous caller must set their CallerID.
- 'Always Busy
You are always busy for anonymous callers.
- Voicemail
Anonymous caller is forwarded to a given extension's voicemail.
- Not in service
Called number is 'Not in service'.
- Ringtone
With this option, it is possible to set a custom ringtone for anonymous callers (or known ones, too).
For specific extensions:
- Call Forward Number
Incoming call is forwarded to a given number in the Destination field.
- No Answer
Incoming call isn't answered.
- Busy
You are busy for incoming calls from this extension.
- Voicemail
Incoming call is forwarded to a given extension's voicemail.
- Not in service
Called number is 'Not in service'.
- Ringtone
With this option, it is possible to set a custom ringtone for this caller.
Setting custom ringtones
When the Ring Tone is selected as a Destination Type, enter the following into the Destination field:
For AASTRA phones: <Bellcore-drX> - where X is a number of the ring tone, usually [1-5]
For CISCO phones: <Bellcore-drX> - where X is a number of ring tone
For LINKSYS phones: Enter a name for the ring tone, Simple-5 or Classic-2 for example
For POLYCOM phones: You need to edit sip.cfg and ipmid.cfg In the sip.cfg file, look for the line with these variables:
<alertInfo voIpProt.SIP.alertinfo.1.value="SIP".alertInfo.1.class="8" …>
value and class are important. With class you choose which ring class you will use, when you set value as sip header.
In this specific case, sending SIP header with the value sales in [SIPAddHeader(Alert-Info: Sales)] will cause the telephone to use a ring tone which is set in class 8 in ipmid.cfg file. In ipmid.cfg, class 8 line looks like this:
<SALES se.rt.8.name="Sales" se.rt.8.type="ring" se.rt.8.ringer="3" se.rt.8.callWait="6" se.re.8.mod="0">
So in our case, the phone will use ring tone No. 3.
Characters like empty spaces or " signs are not allowed in ring tone names, but they can be used with a backslash in front ( like \" ). Most phones support only default, not custom ring tones.
¶ Do Not Disturb
This service temporarily redirects all incoming calls to a destination number or a voicemail.
(E.g. If you wish not to be disturbed, you may activate this service, Set 'Destination'='Voicemail', enter '1000' in the field below and set 'Duration'='1'. This will redirect all calls coming to your extension to voice inbox of the extension 1000 for 1 hour).
NOTE: Activation of this service can be temporary (we enter number of hours) or permanent (until deactivation). Destination can be Voicemail or Call Forwarding.
- Do Not Disturb
Activate the DND service.
(Not Active/Temporary/Permanent).
- Destination
Destination to be dialed once DND is enabled.
(E.g. If the Voicemail is selected then in the field below type the extension number to which voicemail call will be sent. If the Call forward is selected then type the extension number which will be dialed.)
- Duration (hours)
If you choose to activate DND temporary, here you can set how many hours DND service will be active.
(E.g. Set '1' to enable the service for one hour).
¶ Call Screening
As the name suggests, if this option is turned on in Enhanced Services of the extension, it will offer Call Screening for that extension in the following manner:
- Call Screening must be enabled in the Enhanced Services of the extension
- Add one or more destinations to the Call Screening list
- When someone calls that extension, one will be presented with a choice:
- Say your name and wait while the call is being made to one of the destinations in the Call Screening
- Leave a Voicemail to the called extension
-
If a caller presses '1', he will say his name and destinations in Call Screening will ring at the same time for 'Timeout' amount of time. If no one answers the call, the original caller will get the voicemail of the called extension
-
If any destination answers the call, it will be presented with the following options:
-
If you press '1' the caller will be connected to the answering destination.
-
If you press '2' the caller will be able to leave a message to the called extensions voicemail.
-
If you press '3', you will be able to send a call to another phone number.
-
If you press '4', you will say a short message explaining why you are unavailable for example, and that message will be played to the caller after which he'll be able to leave a voicemail.
-
Destination
Number(s) which the Call Screening will call.
(E.g. 1004)
- Delay (sec)
Numbeer of seconds before Destination starts ringing
(E.g. 5)
- Suspend
If you don't want to delete destination from Call Screening list, you can suspend it using this option
- Skip for Local Calls
Enable or disable call screening for local calls
NOTE: Please note that this feature is part of the beta release and is only visible to beta testers. Once the stable version is released, it will be available for general use.
If set to 'No', Call Screening will be enabled for local calls and the caller will hear the message to connect the call (1) or to leave a message (2). If it is set to 'Yes', Call Screening will be skipped and the caller will reach the extension directly.
- Timeout (sec)
Number of seconds during which the Destination(s) will ring.
(E.g. 32)
Options
- Dial options
Additional dial options when calling the Destination(s).
(E.g. t)

Enter caller ID which will be used for Call Screening
Greeting
- Preamble
Preamble will play pre-recorded message before greeting, if selected from the drop down list. Message file name have to start with pivr- in order to be displayed in the list.
- Greeting
Here you can select a custom greeting message for your Call Screening. The message file has to start with "pivr_" and has to be uploaded to the sounds folder.
You can dial *301 to record the greeting using your extension (alternatively you can upload any prerecorded sound file using PBXware sound converter). By default messages recorded this way will be named in this format
greeeting-MONTH-DD-YYYY-hh-mm-ss, for examplegreeting-Feb-24-2013-12-29-36.In order to get this greeting displayed in Preamble or Greeting list, you will have to rename it so filename starts with
pivr-for Preamble orpivr_for Greeting.In order to do this you will have to navigate to System -> Sound Files in your PBXware GUI and select "G" from the Letter drop down list. Select checkbox next to your recorded greeting, change the name to preferred value and click Rename button. This will rename your file and it should now be available in the drop down list.
- Pause before recording (sec)
Number of seconds to pause before the recorded caller name is played.
(E.g. 2)
- Max recording length (sec):
Max length of recording in seconds.

(E.g. 8877)
- Is Voicemail
Whether Last Destination is Voicemail.
¶ Call Forwarding
This service forwards calls to other extensions depending on the extension response/status. For example, calls can be forwarded to other extensions (local/remote) or voice boxes unconditionally, or only if the extension is busy, nobody answers the call, or the line is unavailable.
If none of the destinations answer, the call is directed to the extension's voicemail.
- Unconditional
Forward all incoming calls.
Calls can be forwarded to other extension numbers (Internal or External) and to local voicemail boxes no matter who is calling. The voicemail box of the current extension is the default Destination Type.
In PBXware v6.7.1 we have added the ability to set up an Unconditional call forwarding timer using an access code.
Users can now dial *71 + CFNumber + * + 99 to enable unconditional call forwarding to preferred number, with a timeout of 99 seconds.
NOTE: A timeout can only be applied in this manner to Unconditional, but not to other types of call forwarding like Busy or No answer.
- Busy
Forward all incoming calls if the extension is busy.
Calls can be forwarded to other extension numbers (Internal or External) and to local voicemail boxes if the line has reached the maximum incoming calls limit. The voicemail box of the current extension is the default Destination Type.
(Option buttons)
- No Answer
Forward all incoming calls if the extension doesn't answer the incoming call.
Calls can be forwarded to other extension numbers (Internal or External) and to local voicemail boxes if no one answers the call. The voicemail box of the current extension is the default Destination Type.
(Option buttons)
- Line Unavailable
Forward all incoming calls if the line is unavailable.
In case your line gets cut off or for any reason you cannot connect the UAD/Phone to the system, all calls that were supposed to reach you can be redirected to the extension/voice box number set here. The voicemail box of the current extension is the default Destination Type.
- Destinations for External Calls
In this field you will enter destinations to which you want to forward external calls depending on your extension's state. You can enter multiple destinations for each state, but they need to be separated by timeout seconds, meaning that when first extension in the list hasn't answered during the timeout time-frame, the next one will be ringing and so on.
(E.g. 2222)
- Destinations for Internal Calls
In this field you will enter destinations to which you want to forward internal calls depending on your extension's state. You can enter multiple destinations for each state, but they need to be separated by timeout seconds, meaning that when first extension in the list hasn't answered during the timeout time-frame, the next one will be ringing and so on.
(E.g. 1111)
- Timeout (sec)
Ring time in seconds. After that the current destination will stop ringing.
(E.g. 15)
- Exclude list
Set up to 10 Caller ID numbers that you wish to be excluded from call forwarding, meaning that these numbers will be able to reach you. This rule is checked first before all other rules in the CF section.
- Play Call Forwarding Message
Notify users of a transfer being made.
If this option is set to 'Yes', the caller would hear a 'Please wait, your call is being forwarded. You're not being charged for the forwarding part of the call' message, notifying user that a transfer is being made.
- Allow ES CallerID
Allows a callee to see the call as if the current extension is making it.
If this option is set to 'Yes' the callee will see the extension from which call is forwarded, otherwise it will see the original caller.
TIP: Access code for 'Unconditional Call Forwarding' can be customized through 'Settings: Access Codes'.
IMPORTANT: Call Forwarding has been improved in 6.0. Now you are able to differentiate between internal and external calls (those that usually come through trunks) and set different destinations for each one (or set the same destination for both). Also, an exclude list has been added where you can enter Caller IDs that will not be forwarded - please note that this rule will be checked first before all other rules in the CF section.
¶ Follow Me
This service rings all the provided destinations in a sequence. If the call is not answered by any of the provided extensions, it gets transferred to the 'Last Destination' extension which can be Voicemail if the 'Is Voicemail' option is selected.
If placing calls to a mobile/proper number it may take 2-3 seconds until the call is placed over DAHDI.
- Services status: ON/OFF
Whether Follow Me is enabled or not.
TIP: You can enable/disable Follow Me here or via access codes
- Destination
Local/Proper/Mobile numbers to be dialed.
(E.g. 1005, 1006, 1007, 1008)
- Timeout (sec)
Ring time in seconds. The time in seconds that destinations will ring. If the call is not answered during this period, it gets transferred to the next priority number.
- Dial Options
Additional call properties.
(E.g. This service can assign additional call properties, such as allowing the called party to transfer the call, etc).
Dial Options:
- t - Allow the called user to transfer the call by hitting #
- T - Allow the calling user to transfer the call by hitting #
NOTE: The caller can use '#' to transfer local calls but only if both Extensions or just the callee's Extension has 'T' set as the 'Incoming dial' option. Please note that the calls that originate from Trunk do not execute a transfer on '#'.
- r - Generate a ring tone for the calling party, passing no audio from the called channel(s) until one answers. Use with care and don't insert this by default into all of your dial statements as you are killing call progress information for the user. You almost certainly do not want to use this. Asterisk will generate ring tones automatically where it is appropriate to do so. 'r' makes it go the next step and additionally generate ring tones where it is probably not appropriate to do so.
- R - Indicate ringing to the calling party when the called party indicates ringing, pass no audio until answered. This is available only if you are using kapejod's bristuff.
- m - Provide Music on Hold to the calling party until the called channel answers. This is mutually exclusive with option 'r', obviously. Use m(class) to specify a class for the music on hold.
- o - Restore the Asterisk v1.0 Caller ID behavior (send the original caller's ID) in Asterisk v1.2 (default: send this extension's number)
- j - Asterisk 1.2 and later: Jump to priority n+101 if all of the requested channels are busy (just like behavior in Asterisk 1.0.x)
- M (x) - Executes the macro (x) upon connect of the call (i.e. when the called party answers)
- h - Allow the called party to hang up by dialing *
- H - Allow the caller to hang up by dialing *
- C - Reset the CDR (Call Detail Record) for this call. This is like using the NoCDR command
- P (x) - Use the Privacy Manager, using x as the database (x is optional)
- g - When the called party hangs up, exit to execute more commands in the current context.
- G (contextextenpri) - If the call is answered, transfer both parties to the specified priority; however it seems the calling party is transferred to priority x, and the called party to priority x+1
- A (x) - Play an announcement (x.gsm) to the called party.
- S (n) - Hang up the call n seconds AFTER the called party picks up.
- d: - This flag trumps the 'H' flag and intercepts any dtmf while waiting for the call to be answered and returns that value on the spot. This allows you to dial a 1-digit exit extension while waiting for the call to be answered - see also RetryDial
- D(digits) - After the called party answers, send digits as a DTMF stream, then connect the call to the originating channel.
- L (x[:y][:z]) - Limit the call to 'x' ms, warning when 'y' ms are left, repeated every 'z' ms) Only 'x' is required, 'y' and 'z' are optional. The following special variables are optional for limit calls: (pasted from app_dial.c)
- + LIMIT_PLAYAUDIO_CALLER - yes|no (default yes) - Play sounds to the caller.
- + LIMIT_PLAYAUDIO_CALLEE - yes|no - Play sounds to the called party.
- + LIMIT_TIMEOUT_FILE - File to play when time is up.
- + LIMIT_CONNECT_FILE - File to play when the call begins.
- + LIMIT_WARNING_FILE - File to play as warning if 'y' is defined. If LIMIT_WARNING_FILE is not defined, then the default behavior is to announce ('You have [XX minutes] YY seconds').
- f - forces callerid to be set as the extension of the line making/redirecting the outgoing call. For example, some PSTNs don't allow callerids from other extensions than the ones that are assigned to you.
- w - Allow the called user to start recording after pressing *1 or what defined in features.conf, requires Set(DYNAMIC_FEATURES=automon)
- W - Allow the calling user to start recording after pressing *1 or what defined in features.conf, requires Set(DYNAMIC_FEATURES=automon)
NOTE: Dial options can bind together. (E.g. t + r = tr)
- Allow ES CallerID
NOTE: Please note that this feature is part of the beta release and is only visible to beta testers. Once the stable version is released, it will be available for general use.
Set this option to 'Yes' so that the callee sees the ES Caller ID of the Extension from which the call is forwarded, or set it to 'No' so that the callee sees the original caller ID
- Last Destination
Destination which will be dialed if none of the ‘priority’ destinations answer the call. If you check ‘Is Voicemail’ option, last destination will be the voicemail.
(E.g. If extension 1005 is set here, that extension will be called if none of the destinations set above answer the call.)
- Is Voicemail
Select whether or not the Last Destination is a Voicemail box.
(E.g. Yes, No, Not Set)
- Confirm Calls
With this option enabled you can make sure that the call is answered by a person, not a voicemail. (e.g. If the call is answered by a mobile phone the person picking up the call needs to press 1(or another key on the phone) to answer the phone. If that key is not pressed all phones will keep ringing because call is considered unanswered.)
NOTE: When Follow Me is set on an extension and as destinations are defined [(the original extension and some remote destination (external number)], only that external number has the ability to press 1 in order to accept the call.
- Enable for Local Destinations
Enables Confirm Calls for Local Destinations.
¶ Group Hunt
This service rings all provided destinations at the same time. If the call is not answered by any of the provided extensions, it will be transferred to the 'Last Destination' extension which can also be a Voicemail if the 'Is Voicemail' option is selected.
When the called number picks up, the system will ask if the user wants to accept the call or reject it. If user accepts the call that was already answered by someone else, the system will play the message which notifies the user about said situation.
If placing calls to a mobile/proper number it may take 2-3 seconds until the call is placed over DAHDI.
- Services status: ON/OFF
Whether Group Hunt is enabled or not.
(Slider)
TIP: You can enable/disable Group Hunt here or via access codes

- r - Generate a ringing tone for the calling party, passing no audio from the called channel(s) until one answers. Use with care and don't insert this by default into all your dial statements as you are killing call progress information for the user. Really, you almost certainly do not want to use this. Asterisk will generate ring tones automatically where it is appropriate to do so. 'r' makes it go the next step and additionally generate ring tones where it is probably not appropriate to do so.

- Confirm Calls
With this option enabled you can make sure that the call is answered by a person, not a voicemail. (e.g. If the call is answered by a mobile phone the person picking up the call needs to press 1(or another key on the phone) to answer the phone. If that key is not pressed all phones will keep ringing because call is considered unanswered.)
NOTE: When Group Hunt is set on an extension and as destinations are defined [(the original extension and some remote destination (external number)], only that external number has the ability to press 1 in order to accept the call.
- Enable for Local Destinations
Enables Confirm Calls for Local Destinations.
¶ Mobile Numbers
With Mobile Numbers you can assign Mobile Numbers you would like to receive calls on when not in the office
If you enable Mobile Numbers service and add a number to the mobile numbers list it will be displayed in gloCOM as one of the destinations you can be reached on
- Mobile number
Here you add desired mobile number
- Label
The name which will be showed for this mobile number
¶ Speakerphone Page
- Enter extensions here (Comma-Separated)
This service enables the message to transmit to multiple phones by dialing '*399' or single phone by dialing *400 ext.
Case 1: Set this field to '1000,1001,1002' for example. Now dial*399. Extensions 1000,1001,1002 will be paged. If UAD/Phone supports it, the call will automatically go to the speakerphone, otherwise it will just ring).
Case 2: Set this field to '1000,1001,1002' for example. Now dial*400 1001. Extensions 1001 will be paged. If UAD/Phone supports it, the call will automatically go to the speakerphone, otherwise it will just ring).
- Quiet mode
Does not play beep to a caller. Normally you won't use this, but if you have an external amplifier that provides its own tone, you may want to set this option.
TIP: Phones by default have 10 seconds to auto answer.
NOTE: With the addition of multiple registration to a single extension, paging had to be modified. In PBXware 5 if more than one deskphone or third party softphone application is registered to a single PBXware extension at the same time, Speakerphone paging will be disabled for that extension. This is expected behavior and a tradeoff users must accept when registering more than one deskphone to their extension.
Registration of Bicom Systems gloCOM applications, desktop and mobile, will not affect paging.
¶ Speakerphone Page Groups
Speakerphone Page Groups service enables a specific extension to page multiple extensions by dialing '*600'. Dial ‘*600 + paging group extension number’ to page all extensions assigned to this group.
¶ Directory / BLF List

DIDs, Queues and IVRs can now be defined as BLFs.
For example, add *404XXX on your BLF list where 'XXX' can be a DID, Queue or an IVR number.

¶ Remote Access
This service enables users to access the system from remote locations and authenticate to their personal extensions so they can make calls as if they were using their office phone.
For example:
- Set one of the Destination fields in IVR (Home -> IVR) to Remote Access. Set its accompanying Extension field to Destinations (if you want to call remote numbers). Save IVR.
- Edit the Enhanced Services of the extension that you want to authenticate as, and enable Remote Access. Click on Save and then on Edit next to that option.
- You can authenticate by CallerID that you can set in that list, and additionally ask for PIN of that extension, or if you want any CallerID you can leave that field empty and click on Require Extension PIN field to just authenticate by extensions PIN.

¶ Call Monitoring
This service monitors active calls in real time.
