Receive Inbound Calls

When a call comes into the PBX from outside, PBX needs to know where to direct it. The incoming call can be
directed to an extension, a ring group, a queue, or a digital receptionist (IVR) etc. For this purpose, you need to set
up inbound routes on the PBX.

Selected box.

5. Click Save and Apply.

When a person calls in the selected trunk "cloudcall", the call will be directed to extension 1001.

Make Outbound Calls

Outbound routes are used to specify what numbers are allowed to go out a particular route. When a call is placed,
the actual number dialed by the user is compared with the dial patterns in each route (from highest to lowest
priority) until a match is found. If no match is found, the call fails. If the number dialed matches a pattern in more
than one route, only the rules with the highest priority in the route are used.
The default outbound route (with dial pattern X.) on the PBX will allow any outgoing numbers. You can make
outbound calls as you usually do on your phone.
1. Go to Settings→ PBX→Call Control→ Outbound Routes.

2. Click to edit the default inbound route.

3. In the Member Trunks field, double click the desired trunk in the Available box, the trunk will appear in
Selected box.
