Configure and manage Users, Call Pickup Groups, TAPI Route Points, Hunt Groups, Class of Service (CoS) Settings for users.

Users
You use the User Configuration tab in the NBX NetSet utility to add users and phantom mailboxes to the NBX system and remove them. You can also modify and maintain user profiles and parameters.

Mailboxes A phantom mailbox is an extension that has no associated physical telephone. A caller can dial directly into a phantom mailbox and leave a message. The person assigned to a phantom mailbox can create and send a message from within the voice mail system and the Auto Attendant can route callers to a phantom mailbox.

Call Pickup
Call Pickup allows any user who hears a telephone ringing to answer the call on her or his own telephone. To enable this feature, you add telephone extensions to Call Pickup Groups.

TAPI Route Points
A TAPI Route Point is a virtual device within the NBX system where calls are held pending action by an external TAPI application. Route points are typically used by call center applications to redirect calls. A redirected call is one that is sent from its original destination (the route point) without being answered, to a new location specified in the external application.

Hunt Group
A hunt group is a set of users that can be accessed by dialing a single extension. A call routed to the hunt group extension can reach any member of the group who is currently logged into the group. A static hunt group is one in which all members are permanently logged in (locked). A dynamic hunt group is one where users can be logged in and out of the group by you, the administrator, or you can allow them to log into or out of the group themselves, using the hunt group password you create.

Class of Service (CoS)
Class of Service (CoS) is a set of calling permissions that you assign to users. Most permissions are subject to the Business Hours parameters: Open, Lunch, and Other. For example, you can create a class that allows toll calls during normal business hours, but denies them at other times.

Page Zones
The Page Zone feature allows you to provision a subset of devices within the system as members of a zone. Users then have the ability to page members of that group only, rather than having to page all devices on the system. NBX System Software supports up to nine page zones per system.

Account Codes
Account codes are additional numbers that users dial in order to associate calls with specific functions, sources, or destinations. For example, call center operations often employ account codes because calls made by Automatic Call Distribution (ACD) agents can be associated with their relevant accounts for tracking purposes. Users enter an account code while placing a call or during a call.
