Default Auto-Attendant Structure
The ISG50 comes with a default auto-attendant. The default auto-attendant simply prompts callers 
to enter the extension they wish to reach. There is only one time when a caller has to make a 
decision. The following figure shows the default auto-attendant structure.

Custom Auto-Attendant Structure
You can configure a more complex auto-attendant structure to fit your organization’s needs. An 
auto-attendant can contain several more complex menus that can guide an incoming call to a 
specific extension or a group of extensions. In the following example, an incoming caller is 
prompted to specify whether they want to talk to a sales representative, customer service 
representative or the operator. Once the caller reaches the Sales menu, the auto-attendant can 
prompt them to specify which product they are interested in. The caller then dials a number to 
reach the appropriate sales representative.

Configuring Menus
Configuring an auto-attendant requires you to set up menus. In 
three menus. The Home Menu and two sub menus: Sales and Customer Service. Each menu 
should have an accompanying audio file which informs the callers of their options. In each menu 
you can allow or disallow the dialing of extensions. You can also assign the following options to each 
menu based on the action performed by the caller. Each option is followed by example content for 
the accompanying audio file.
