# Summary (users, terminals and DDIs)

An summary of opened direct dialling numbers and their connection to internal destinations can be found here. If the communication server is to be completely reset, then it is highly recommended to set up the direct dialling numbers and users here. An import/export function is also available, to enable you create the basic data in a spreadsheet.

## Default routing

All calls where no specific routing has been defined are routed to the destination specified here.

Table 1. Possible destinations for the standard routing
Destination | Explanation
User | The call is routed to a single user (this can be an internal user, guest room or another user type). The desired user is specified by selecting their call number from the list box on the right-hand side. If the desired user is not available, then it must first be opened in the Configuration / User / User list view.
User group | The call is routed to a user group, where it is distributed. Select the desired user group from the list box on the right-hand side. The members of the user group are configured in the Routing view.
Operator | Operator console: The call is routed to the operator queue and is offered to all connected operator consoles and operator applications.

Further informations:

Each DDI number is linked with one own call distribution element.

- The selection of the destination defines the destinations for all three switch positions.

- If different destinations have already been defined for the three switch positions, then only the destination of switch position 1 is displayed.

- If different destinations have already been defined for the three switch positions and the destination is changed here, then the destinations of all switch positions are changed.

- If a different destination to those that can be selected here (user, user group or operator) is defined for switch position 1, then this destination is displayed instead of the list box with a hyperlink to the configuration of the direct dialling number.

## DDI to users

This section lists all of the direct dialling numbers that are directly connected to a user.

Table 2. Settings
Parameter | Explanation
DDI | User’s direct dialling number. The numbers in brackets indicate the connected trunk groups. If the user is connected to an analogue exchange line circuit, then the trunk group name is displayed. The direct dialling configuration is accessed by clicking the direct dialling number. The trunk group configuration is accessed by clicking on the name of an analogue trunk group.
Call number | Call number of the linked user. The user configuration is accessed by clicking the call number.
User name | Name of the linked user The name can be edited here directly.
E-mail address | E-mail address of the linked user. The e-mail address can be edited here directly.
Terminals | User phones and terminals.

Further informations:

- Each DDI number is linked with one own call distribution element.

- The direct dialling number then appears in this section when the User destination is defined for switch position 1.

- Direct dialling numbers with multiple destinations are listed under Additional DDIs, even when one of the destinations is a user.

## DDI to user groups

This section lists all of the direct dialling numbers that are connected to a user group.

Table 3. Settings
Parameter | Explanation
DDI | User’s direct dialling number. The numbers in brackets indicate the connected trunk groups. If the direct dialling number is not connected to a trunk group, then “N” is displayed in brackets. Incoming calls cannot be routed over a direct dialling number of this type. If the user is connected to an analogue exchange line circuit, then the trunk group name is displayed. The direct dialling configuration is accessed by clicking the direct dialling number. The trunk group configuration is accessed by clicking on the name of an analogue trunk group.
User group number | Call number of the linked user group. The user configuration is accessed by clicking the call number.
