Identities Feature

Internal calls

When placing an internal call, a real user's extension is replaced with the identity of a false extension.

Limitations (only for internal calls): 

• A real user's number instead of identity extension can be displayed when transferring and adding to conferences such calls (a real number is also displayed in CDR-View) 
• Personal call recordings are not shown in Collaboration (if user has specified his email in Settings -> Personal, the call recording is sent to the email, but it is unavailable in Call History) 
• A caller cannot see call duration in Collaboration -> History 
• A caller cannot switch an active device using Incall feature "Continuity" *5 (Service code "Continuity" works) 
• BLF "Colleague" displays user's identity extension instead of a called number during outgoing calls if the option "View calls" is enabled 

External calls

When placing an external calls, a number is replaced with the identity of a false office number. 

Configuration 

Step 1. Add extension numbers by creating extra users to use them as identity numbers (assign PBX-Service License to such users). Do not use real user extensions for this purpose. 
Step 2. Specify the number(s) in WMS:

• Go to WMS -> Users -> select a user or multiple users
• Click Edit preferences -> Settings -> Identities
• Specify the custom identity number(s) that you've added previously in the field Identities:

Step 3. Add BLF keys "Identities" or "Line" (available starting from WMS v. 4.03.44914.04):

• Go to Users -> select a user or multiple users
• Click Edit preferences -> Settings -> Function keys

or

• Collaboration -> Settings -> Function keys

Configuration for incoming calls 

The configuration allows receiving internal and external incoming calls and perform call forwarding:

• Create a separate Dialplan procedure "identities_routing"
• Set the identity number as a called number in Dialplan
• Use Set application to set the variable __TO_IDENTITY: Set  ->__TO_IDENTITY ->${EXTEN}
• Use Dial the phone application to dial the real user number

• Add "identities_routing" to Included procedures of Dialplan for managing incoming calls:

  Make sure "identities_routing" is placed before "pbxinternal" if you configure it for internal calls.
