  1. 2600HZ STEP GUIDE – BRANDING Adding a logo and white-labeling your portal is done via the BRANDING application. *Branding is done at the reseller level of your account. General tab Configuration From the General tab, in the Configuration section, enter a Domain name. This should be the string you would like your customers to use to get into their account. For Example: portal.mycompany.com Once you have entered the Domain Name, click Check DNS. A list of suggested sub-domains will be provided along with their purpose, record type and record data that can be used to set up your DNS records. Optionally, you can enter a Provisioner URL. This is what will be displayed at the top of the Provisioner app and can be helpful in a more user-friendly name. NOTES: We we recommend completing this DNS Mapping setup prior to setting up any new accounts. This will ensure all accounts will use the white label path structures. For a detailed user guide showing and explaining this process please review the "Branding: Set up your White Label DNS" document, found under the Branding / User Resources category here. The Realm Suffix is used to generate the account realms for your accounts using your white-labeled interface. This should be a prefix on your domain name, so in the example above, your realm suffix might be, s.voice.mydomain.com. This would also be your “wild card” in your DNS records. The Provisioner URL can be set as well to replace the API URL displayed on the Provisioner App. This can be populated with the suggested sub-domain for Provisioning as shown in the suggested DNS records Once this information has been entered, click Save Changes. Once saved, the Company Info and Brand Customization sections will appear on the General tab, and you will now see the Advanced tab as well. Company Info The Company Info section is where you will enter information and links for your company. Be sure to uncheck the “Powered by 2600Hz” if you do not want this to appear at the bottom of the pages Brand Customization The Brand Customization section is where you will enter your logo and other visual representation of your company Company Logo – *must be no larger than 192 px (w) x 62 px (h) Click Select a file, and choose your logo file to upload Favicon + Page Title – this is what your customers will see on their browser tab Click Select a file and choose the file for the Favicon to be used. Provide a page title. This title will be used in the Page Tab on your browser and can be accessed by Google Analytics. Login Page – this is the page your customers will be brought to upon entering the URL A custom welcome can be typed that will present under your logo. Choose your brand color – this color will occupy the right side of the page, complemented by black on the left Turn on the social media links you’d like to advertise, and post your link in the field Using the settings shown above, your login screen would look something like below: Advanced tab On the Advanced tab, you will dictate the default for porting permissions, as well as the default for your Carrier Options. NOTE: This tab will not display until you've entered a domain name and saved. Number Porting Non-BYOC Resellers (Using 2600Hz Carriers) Your selection under Submitting Port Requests will depend upon whether or not you would like your customers to be able to submit their own port requests. If you do not wish to allow your customers to submit ports, select “I will request ports on behalf of customers”. In the Managing Port Requests section, select “My provider will manage port requests from my account” BYOC Resellers (Bring Your Own Carriers) – you will work directly with your own Carriers. Select “I will request ports on behalf of customers” in the Submitting Port Requests section Select “I will manage port requests from my account” Carrier Options Here you can enable/disable options for carrier use, and set priority for each option. Templates tab On the Templates tab, you will find the email templates that can be sent out automatically on your behalf to your customers or to 2600Hz. Please be sure to review all templates to be sure the correct audience is being targeted. The template must be enabled in order to be used The recipient must be selected – original user, account admins or a specific email address can be selected/noted Emails can be edited and then previewed. Be sure to click Save Changes when finished with the edits. This should be done for each email you wish to use, others should be disabled Frequently Asked Questions I do not see the Advanced Tab on my branding home screen This tab does not display until you've entered your domain name and save. If it still doesn't display, exit the application and relaunch it. How do I create / edit a custom announcement that comes up when I log into an account? This custom dialog box, or account welcome message is managed in the Accounts Manager app. Log into your main account and select the sub account to manage.

  10. Dynamic Caller ID FAQ What is Dynamic Caller ID? Dynamic Caller ID allows you to set unique rules that modify the caller ID display based on the outgoing phone number called. You can set rules that match a feature code, area code(s), or a more advanced set of variables using Regular Expression algorithm. Once set, each outgoing call that matches the pattern will display the designated caller ID. Other terms used for similar functionality include Caller ID masking, or when used unethically, Caller ID spoofing. What are some examples of how I would use this? Below are some common use cases for Dynamic Caller ID: Contact Services Companies Contract services companies often work for several different organizations using a single bank of phone numbers. Using Caller ID, they can assign a feature code, or prefix to an outgoing call displaying it’s “from that Company A”, and a different prefix to an outgoing call that displays it’s “from Company B”. You can also define your ID based to match the area code you are calling. Individuals calling as a company representative Individuals have used this feature to add a level of security and anonymity when using their mobile device. For example a caller can implement *555 and call a ride service showing the call is from from “Company X” instead of from “Person X”. What numbers can I use as dynamic numbers? When entering a number as your dynamic display, you will be shown your list of assigned, unassigned, and unused numbers. You can map any of these numbers to your rule. Note, you can not enter a unique number, the number must be owned by you. This is a legal stipulation. Can I add text to the number, or just the number as an ID? You have the option to add text to the assigned number, for example 111-22-3333 using feature code *888 could show it is from “Company A” in text. Are there rules about what I can assign as a feature code #? We typically recommend you use a 3-digit number for feature codes. This assures your code does not conflict with the phone system’s standard feature codes, as they will override your dynamic caller ID setting. What is a Regular Expression and why would I use it? A Regular Expression code (RegEx) uses a descriptive language for pattern matching a set of numbers. Advanced users may implement this to create a string of variables they want to match for outgoing calls, beyond a simple 1-rule notation. For example, if a number used 222 as an area code AND the first digit following was 9, then using a RegEx code to express this may be useful. For help creating a RegEx code, you can refer to www.regex101.com, or www.regular-expressions.info. How can I test a RegEx to see if it is working? When you enter a RegEx code in the Dynamic Caller ID field, enter an outgoing call number in the Simulate field. The app will test the code against your available numbers and give you a green or red response. View full File

Request New Port. 4. Enter Name of the port request Next you will be asked to name the port request. This might be the name of your customer, or some other reference to the port that will be a reference point for you (or 2600Hz if you need assistance). You will also need to designate whether this port will be all local number or all toll-free numbers. NOTE: Local and toll-free numbers CAN NOT appear on the same port request – separate requests must be completed. 5. Attach current bill showing ownership You will be required to provide a bill that the number is attached to in order to prove ownership. Attach the bill, and click the box to verify that the date is within 30 days. NOTE: The bill must be dated within 30 days preceding the port request, at the time the carriers process.

  19. 1. What is the Porting Manager for? Congratulations, you are about to start on a great new communications experience! The Porting manager is the first step to transferring your existing phone numbers to the 2600hz ecosystem and to manage the progress of your port orders. You will submit a formal request to our carrier(s) to move your numbers and billing, and you will register your numbers with 2600hz. Note the transfer process can take up to 30 days, so make sure to give yourself enough time. 2. How do I access the Porting Manager? Go to Your Apps and click on Port Manager icon. If you don’t see it, go to the App Exchange and turned on. 3. What is the branding manager application, where do I find it? The branding application is typically part of your original setup. It allows you to personalize your Kazoo implementation using your brand colors, logo, domain etc. It can be turned on in the App Exchange and/or found in your Apps list. Choose the Branding icon and step through its setup. There are several documents related to your branding process here. 4. Why do I need to reset my branding page before porting my numbers? If you customized your porting template(s) before a more recent branding app enhancement was released, it’s possible some of the new features and calls to its parameters need to be realigned. A common indicator that you need to update (reset to default then add customizations again) is if you receive a comment email that doesn’t include the message. 5. While porting my numbers I sent a comment in the comment field to 2600hz. The copy I received in email showed a blank page. How do I solve this? This is likely because your branding template uses an earlier set of parameters and is not mapping to some of the newer features correctly. To solve this, go to the branding application’s template section. Go to the Port Comment template, open, select the double cog/wheel icon and choose ‘force system defaults’ once complete, add your customizations. 6. How do I set up numbers for different office locations? To keep track of different office locations within a single account, we recommend deciding on a naming convention that reflects this. For example: ABC Company – San Francisco ABC Company – Denver ABC Company – New York 7. How do I include international offices / phone #s? International port requests will need to be submitted manually by 2600hz, as they have unique requirements. Please send a support request to support@2600hz.com. Include the account the port order is for and attach an LOA and bill copy dated within the last 30 days. 8. When can I cancel my old account? It’s best to wait until you’ve received verification of the port. If you cancel early there’s a risk you will lose your number and not be able to recover it. 9. I just received a bill from my previous carrier, why? There are a few reasons you may still be receiving a bill from your previous carrier: You may have ported only a partial list of your numbers. Check to see if the bill amount has been adjusted to match the current list. Their billing cycle may have been set to before you received confirmation of the changes and requested cancellation. We recommend you wait until confirmation, there may be some overlap. 10. I requested a date of June 1 for a changeover and have not received any confirmation. The date you request during the porting process is the Target Date. Once your request is received, the losing carrier will review the information and send a Final Order Confirmation date. While 2600hz makes every effort to honor your requested date, there are times when unforeseen events happen that can cause a delay. Please review the process and make sure you’ve completed it correctly. Some of the more common reasons for a delay are below Submitted information on carrier billing doesn’t match carrier’s information Account Number Account/Business Name Service Address Billing Telephone Number (BTN) Authorized End User Submitted numbers don’t match customer’s numbers, often due to a typo Recent copy of bill from existing carrier is older than 30 days Copy of Letter of Authorization was not signed/dated, incomplete or is older than 30 days 11. Who do I contact about status in the porting process? Check the “Progress” tab in the application for any notes or updates Contact your current carrier to see if they have processed/approved the porting from their end. If you have any questions while submitting a request, use the comments field in the last step of the porting submission. 12. If I need to save my port to submit at a later time, can I do this? Or do I need to start over later? Yes, you can save it once you get as far as the numbers screens. Simply click the Save & Continue Later button. When you go back in to complete the port, you will find it in you Suspended tab as shown below. 13. How will I know if my port has been rejected? Rejected ports can be seen in the Completed tab, as show below. The port will show as Canceled, and if you click on it, it will expand the request showing the rejection reason. 14.

  20. 1. What is the Porting Manager for? Congratulations, you are about to start on a great new communications experience! The Porting manager is the first step to transferring your existing phone numbers to the 2600hz ecosystem and to manage the progress of your port orders. You will submit a formal request to our carrier(s) to move your numbers and billing, and you will register your numbers with 2600hz. Note the transfer process can take up to 30 days, so make sure to give yourself enough time. 2. How do I access the Porting Manager? Go to Your Apps and click on Port Manager icon. If you don’t see it, go to the App Exchange and turned on. 3. What is the branding manager application, where do I find it? The branding application is typically part of your original setup. It allows you to personalize your Kazoo implementation using your brand colors, logo, domain etc. It can be turned on in the App Exchange and/or found in your Apps list. Choose the Branding icon and step through its setup. There are several documents related to your branding process here. 4. Why do I need to reset my branding page before porting my numbers? If you customized your porting template(s) before a more recent branding app enhancement was released, it’s possible some of the new features and calls to its parameters need to be realigned. A common indicator that you need to update (reset to default then add customizations again) is if you receive a comment email that doesn’t include the message. 5. While porting my numbers I sent a comment in the comment field to 2600hz. The copy I received in email showed a blank page. How do I solve this? This is likely because your branding template uses an earlier set of parameters and is not mapping to some of the newer features correctly. To solve this, go to the branding application’s template section. Go to the Port Comment template, open, select the double cog/wheel icon and choose ‘force system defaults’ once complete, add your customizations. 6. How do I set up numbers for different office locations? To keep track of different office locations within a single account, we recommend deciding on a naming convention that reflects this. For example: ABC Company – San Francisco ABC Company – Denver ABC Company – New York 7. How do I include international offices / phone #s? International port requests will need to be submitted manually by 2600hz, as they have unique requirements. Please send a support request to support@2600hz.com. Include the account the port order is for and attach an LOA and bill copy dated within the last 30 days. 8. When can I cancel my old account? It’s best to wait until you’ve received verification of the port. If you cancel early there’s a risk you will lose your number and not be able to recover it. 9. I just received a bill from my previous carrier, why? There are a few reasons you may still be receiving a bill from your previous carrier: You may have ported only a partial list of your numbers. Check to see if the bill amount has been adjusted to match the current list. Their billing cycle may have been set to before you received confirmation of the changes and requested cancellation. We recommend you wait until confirmation, there may be some overlap. 10. I requested a date of June 1 for a changeover and have not received any confirmation. The date you request during the porting process is the Target Date. Once your request is received, the losing carrier will review the information and send a Final Order Confirmation date.
