Instruction Menu

Play an announcement to outside callers announcing the Automated Attendant dialing options.

Description

The Instruction Menu is the announcement that plays to Automated Attendant callers. Normally, the Instruction Menu greets callers and provides them with the Automated Attendant dialing options. The Instruction Menu is associated with the active Call Routing Mailbox. Normally, you should have the System Administrator customize (rerecord) the Instruction Menu to match the dialing options enabled in the site’s Dial Action Table. If a custom Instruction Menu is not recorded, the Automated Attendant callers hear:

Thank you for calling. If you are calling from a touch tone phone, please dial the extension number you wish to reach, or dial 0 for assistance. If you are calling from a rotary dial phone, please stay on the line for assistance.
