Article summary

The call profile allows agents to outbound calls and combines outbound routes. When doing an outbound call, the system uses the call profile. Call profile information is requested when creating an extension definition.

Without a call profile, the call cannot log out of the system. Routes and trunks are defined in this profile. Before defining a profile, you must define outbound routes from the "Outbound Routes" page. You can combine these routes in the profile.

How to Access the Profiles Menu?

Once a match is found, the system applies that route. Random: The system begins checking routes in a random order until it finds a matching number pattern.
Internal Call ControlIf this option is enabled, the system checks whether the dialed extension exists internally before making an external call. If the extension is found within the local PBX, the call is routed internally; otherwise, the external call proceeds.
