Configuring the Auto-Attendant Messages
The System provides a feature called the auto-attendant, which automatically answers incoming calls with
greetings or directory messages. It can handle up to 10 incoming calls and uses the default user ID
aa
.
Auto-Attendant Messages
You can save up to 10 customized greetings. The first four have default messages, which can be changed
through the Interactive Voice Response Menu.
The recorded messages will be encoded with G711U and saved in flash memory. These messages will be erased
whenever you reset the System to its factory default settings. The maximum length of any message is one
minute. You can record up to 94.5 seconds of audio, excluding the default messages. When there is not enough
memory left, the Interactive Voice Response Menu will automatically end the recording.
You can access the auto-attendant prompt settings through the Interactive Voice Response Menu.

Chapter 6: Using the Web-based Utility
Overview
Linksys strongly recommends that you use the Setup CD-ROM when you first install the System. If you do not
wish to run the Setup Wizard on the Setup CD-ROM, you can use the Web-based Utility to configure the System.
The System may have been pre-configured by your Internet Telephony Service Provider (ITSP), so you may not
have to make any changes. If you do wish to make changes, follow the instructions in this chapter.
The Web-based Utility offers two levels of access: user and admin (administrator). Your level of access depends
on your service provider’s policies. Also, access to some settings may be protected or blocked, so that service
settings cannot be accidentally changed. For more information, contact your ITSP.
This chapter will describe each web page of the Web-based Utility and each page’s key functions. The Internet
connection settings are configured on the
Router - WAN Setup
screen, while some of the most popular features:
auto-attendant, music-on-hold, and call hunt are configured on the
Voice - SIP
screen. The Utility can be
accessed via your web browser through use of a computer on your network.
There are two main tabs: Router and Voice. Additional tabs will be available after you click one of the main tabs.
Router
Status. This screen displays routing information about the System.
WAN Setup. Use this screen to configure the Internet connection, MAC clone, remote management, QoS,
VLAN, and optional settings.
LAN Setup. Use this screen to configure the local network, dynamic DHCP, and static DHCP lease settings.
Application. On this screen, configure port forwarding, DMZ, and reserved ports range settings.
Voice
Info. This screen displays voice-related information about the System.
System. Use this screen to configure system settings. In most cases, you should not change these settings
unless instructed to do by your ITSP.
NOTE:
If you are not sure how to configure the
settings, then keep the default settings.
