  2. What is Operator Console? Operator Console is a VIEW ONLY tool which offers you live call data, allows you to view all current active calls, call durations and call direction (inbound or outbound) in one simple glance. Additionally, it makes it easy to view office activity, such as who is currently on a call or available to take one. Once the Operator Console App has been added to your KAZOO environment, it will populate with the Employees and Devices associated with the account and look like the image above. You can toggle between Employees or Devices then decide to view them All, Available (not on a call) or Busy (on a call). Additionally, you can use the Search tool to quickly find a coworker, no need to know their extension. Once you receive a call, the screen will look similar to the one above, with the left side displaying your Active/Incoming Calls and Parked Calls. Feature Keys: While you cannot interact with the interface of Operator Console, you can use Feature Keys to do things like call forwarding and parking calls, directly from your phone’s keyboard. To learn more about Feature Keys please review the SmartPBX app. Operator Console Definitions Operator Console has two separate views: Employees and Devices. Employees: This view shows all unique users on your KAZOO account. Devices: This view shows all unique, registered devices on your KAZOO account. Available Call Tile: User – Extension: This line shows the user name, and the user extension in parenthesis. Active Call Tile: User: This line shows the user name and the user’s extension in parenthesis Call Information: This shows both call status, call direction and call duration From: This shows the caller ID or Device Name To: This displays the callee ID or Device Name An INbound call is one that someone else originates to the user and will have the icon above. An OUTbound call originates from the user and will have the icon above. The images below show that you can toggle between Employees/Devices that are All/Available/Busy. We have screenshotted all of the Employee combinations but the same can also be done with Devices. To view all your employees, select Employees and All (above) To view only employees not on an active call select Employees and Available (above) To view only employees on active calls select Employees and Busy (above)
  3. 2600HZ USER GUIDE - BLOCK LISTING NUMBERS Within the Call Flows App, you will find the Blocklist set up. The Blocklist is used to block calls from a particular number. Note this does not blocklist outgoing calls. Create your Blocklist List of Numbers Click into the Advanced Callflows App and select Blocklist 2. Once in the Blocklist submenu, click 3. add a Name (for reference), and add the number. NOTES: You can also block all Anonymous calls by switching the “Block Anonymous” to On. It is important you add the exact number sequence you want to block, which in most cases includes a country code. (including the US +1). To verify the number(s) match, you can view your call log in SmartPBX. See the section below for details. Activate your list Once you've created the set of numbers, you will need to Activate that list for your specific account. Select the Return to Callflows Home button at the top right of your screen Go to the Account Settings block Select the Blocklist tab Drag your newly named Blocklist list from "Available" to "Selected and select the green UPDATE button at the bottom. To confirm the correct Number entry If you want to make sure you are including the exact number as the blocklist routine will see it, you can view your call log and retrieve it there. Follow these steps Access SmartPBX Go to the Call Logs menu item Search for the call you've identified, and expand its listing. Select the gear to the right for a detail of the call routing and number. You will see something like below: Use the "caller_id_number" as displayed here on your blocklist entry. Frequently Asked Questions How do I block / blocklist Anonymous calls? To blocklist Anonymous calls you will need to follow these steps: Create a blocklist and name it (e.g. Block Anonymous) Toggle the switch saying "Block Anonymous" on Return to Callflows / Account Settings and assign that blocklist file to the list Select the green Update button to Save. NOTES: This provides a first-level screening for calls where caller-IDs are tagged as anonymous. If this is not filtering calls as expected, it's likely some added layers of configuration settings need to be reviewed: The caller may have added a layer of deception about the call, using techie-geeky strategies such as using a zero phone number 000000000 to a marking a SIP flag as "privacy=true". If these kinds of calls persist, follow the steps above for "to confirm the correct number" from your SmartPBX log and manually blocklist the specific number. If you are a Private Cloud or Global Infrastructure client and use your own carrier, your carrier may have a unique strategy for dealing with anonymous calls that KAZOO doesn't anticipate. Check with support to help review your call logs. If your blocklist assignment is still letting calls come through, you may need to contact support so they can analyze your SIP call logs and Carrier settings at a more detailed level.

  4. To download a .pdf, click the link below: Language Pack Editor - Step Guide.pdf 911.46 kB · 1 download 2600HZ STEP GUIDE – LANGUAGE PACK EDITOR What is this? Language packs provide localization for Kazoo apps. The Language Pack Editor allows you to view, edit, and create language packs of your own in order to support your language of choice. This guide contains step-by-step instructions for using the Language Pack Editor. English to German Translation, Underway! The Language Pack Editor provides you with the terms to translate on the left and a field to enter your translation on the right: For simple menu items and titles, this is relatively straightforward. But for other items, such as the following error messages, things get tricky: How would you know what to enter for "noMatchingNumbers"? We'll dive into this more deeply later, but the short answer is that you can use the existing English translations as your guide. In fact, the Language Pack Editor supplies "reference files" just for this purpose. Here's a sample from an English reference file: Quick Steps We'll be covering the following topics: Accessing the Language Pack Editor Creating a new language pack Modifying your new language pack Cloning an existing language pack Submitting your completed language pack Reference File shortcuts Downloading all language packs 1. Accessing the Language Pack Editor From your Kazoo home page, select the Apps icon in the application bar. Search for "Languages" using the search tool. Open the app by clicking on the Languages icon. You should see the following screen: Each application can have one or more language packs. You may use the search tool on this page to filter the applications based on your search criteria. 2. Creating a new language pack There are a few ways of creating a new language pack. We're going to start with the simplest way; starting from scratch. Click on the app icon that you wish to localize: On the next page, select [ + New Language Pack ]: This will bring you to the main language pack editing screen: The language pack editor consists of three columns. The left-most column contains the Content Structure, which is useful for locating the page elements that you wish to add or edit. You can click on any element in the Content Structure to jump to the corresponding value in the editor. The middle column contains the main editor. Here's where you'll be entering your translations. The top of the middle column contains default working filename and a download button. Ignore the filename and download button for now. We'll cover those in just a moment. Selecting a Reference File The right-most column is reserved for displaying reference files. Reference files provide existing translations which can be helpful when adding new translations in the main editor. Reference Files might sound fancy, but they're really just exiting language packs that are displayed side-by-side with the language packs that you're creating or editing. It's likely that you'll want to use a reference file while creating your first language pack. At the top of the right-most column, select a reference file from the drop-down menu: Once selected, the reference file will appear to the right of the main language pack editor: Adding Translations At this point, you're ready to start adding your own translations to the form fields displayed in the middle column. Go for it! Any fields left blank will default to English in the application. It's a good idea to frequently download your language pack while you work to avoid any loss of work due to power outages, authentication timeous, etc. See "Downloading Your Work" in the next section. Downloading Your Work At the top of the middle column in the Language Pack Editor, you'll see the default working filename and a download button. We ignored these up until now. In order to save your work, you must download the active language pack to your computer. Rename the working file name to something like "japanese-user-portal.json", ensuring that the filename ends in .json , then click the Download button. You'll be able to upload this file later if you need to make updates. Next Steps Now that you've completed entering all of your translations and have downloaded a local copy of the language file to your computer, you're ready to deliver that file to our staff for installation. Continue to the section below titled "Submitting your completed language pack" for further instructions. 3. Modifying your new language pack If you haven't already, please complete the tutorial above titled "Creating a new language pack". That tutorial covers essential information about using the language pack editor and saving your work. Open the Languages app and select the app associated with the language pack that you'd like to edit: On the next page, click on the browse button to locate your previously downloaded language pack: Select your previously saved language definition file. The file selection dialog box may look different depending on your operating system: Click on Open to continue. The previously saved language pack should now open and be editable in the language pack editor. (Please be aware that we do not currently provide a Japanese language pack. The Japanese shown is for illustration purposes only.) It may be helpful to open a reference file while editing your language pack. For more information about reference files, please refer to the instructions under the section titled "Creating a new language pack" above where reference files are introduced. Once you have completed making updates to your language pack, download your language pack. 4. Cloning an existing language pack This section assumes that you've completed the "Creating a new language pack" tutorial above. If you haven't already, please complete that tutorial before proceeding. This tutorial teaches you how to clone an existing language pack. This may be useful if you wish to implement British English as opposed to American English, or customize an existing language pack to your own liking. Open the Languages app and select the app associated with the language pack that you'd like to clone: On the next page, select [ + Clone Exiting Language Pack ]: You will be prompted to select an existing language pack to clone. Select a language pack and click on Clone Language Pack. The language pack will load in the language pack editor to allow you to make changes: It may be helpful to open a reference file while editing your language pack. For more information about reference files, please refer to the instructions under the section titled "Creating a new language pack" above where reference files are introduced. Once you have completed making updates to your language pack, download the modified language pack. 5. Submitting your completed language pack Once you've completed editing your language pack, the next step is simple. Contact us! Our staff will be happy to review your language pack and add it to Kazoo. 6. Reference File shortcuts On the Language Packs APP home page, you may have noticed a column called "Languages". These buttons are shortcuts that: Create a new language pack Automatically open a reference file based on the button you select 7. Downloading all language packs Each app displayed on the Language Packs APP home page has a corresponding download button. These buttons can be used to download all language packs associated with an app at once: Languages App - Step Guide (Emily Ransford).docx
  5. 2600HZ USER GUIDE – SMART PBX What is Smart PBX? The SmartPBX App combines the most common PBX functionality with a beautiful user interface. All services are controlled via API’s, allowing you to extend the App functionality as needed. Within the interface, create, manage and remove services for your users. You can quickly create new client accounts and specify what access you want to provide. Features such as individual fax-to-email boxes, call forwarding and hot-desking are easy to understand and implement. SmartPBX Dashboard The SmartPBX dashboard provides a comprehensive overview of your entire product offering. Within this dashboard, review the total users, devices and associated phone types, conference bridges, main numbers and conference numbers. Also view the total amount of spare numbers and assigned numbers. NOTE: For a detailed look into the dashboard, go HERE. Managing Numbers - Purchase, Port and Assign Provide each user with their unique direct-dial phone and extension number. Assign a spare number within the Interface, or buy or port numbers and then assign the number. When a number is ported or purchased, it will populate the Spare Numbers tab. You can also set office hours strategy, office holidays, and select the way callers reach clients. . NOTE: We have also created a video describing managing numbers! You can find it here Numbers in Use This will give you a summary of the current numbers used by your account and who it is assigned to. The icons to the right of each name and number will show what settings have been enabled. You can view and edit these settings by selecting the gear to the far right. Spare Numbers This tab will display any numbers available for you to use that you have already purchased, but not yet assigned. You can assign these numbers when you set up a new user. To Purchase a Phone Number - Optional: If you want to buy a number, you can select the "Buy" icon that is displayed when the Spare Numbers tab is selected. Choose whether your number should be a toll-free or a Local number. Then you will see a dialog like below: Search for an available number by city or area code. You can then decide what and how many numbers to purchase. Add one number or multiple and then click “Buy Numbers.” The number will be added to the “Spare Numbers” tab, which you will need to assign a number to a user. To Port a Phone Number - Optional: You can also choose to Port an existing number you own to your new account. NOTE: This process can take up to two weeks, so make sure to give yourself time. The link will forward you to our Porting manager app. This steps you though every detail and provides a tracking system to monitor the port process. We strongly recommend you refer to our Porting Manager App documentation for this. The steps below are only a quick overview of the process. Adding Users Once you have your list of numbers you can add users and assign both numbers and devices. Select the "Add User" button at the top, to get started. For more details on the settings here, please refer to the companion STEP guide, HERE. NOTE: We have also created a video describing adding users! You can find it here Assign Numbers to a User Already Added If you have added users before you purchased your numbers, you can follow the steps below Within the “Users” tab, search for the user you want to add/update, and click on the “Phone Numbers” button for the specific user. Click on the “Add from Spare Numbers” button. Select what Spare Number you would like assigned to the user. Once you have chosen a spare number click “Add Selected Numbers.” This will link the number with the user in a few seconds. Manage User Features Manage what features your users can access. Turn on/ off and manage Caller ID, Call Forwarding, Hot Desking, Voicemails, Faxbox, Conference Bridge, Find Me, Follow Me, Music-On-Hold and Inbound Call Recording. To Access User Features On the “Users” tab of SmartPBX, just left of the dashboard. Within the “Users” tab, click on the “User Features” button for the specific user. This will show all available User Features, click on a specific feature and enable. Create and Manage User Groups Once you have created your users, you can begin creating user groups. This is extremely useful if you have users that work in the same department, such as a sales or marketing team. Stay organized by creating multiple groups, while simultaneously adding new users. Click on the “User Groups” tab of SmartPBX, just left of the dashboard. Within the “User Groups” dashboard, click on the “Add Group” button. The interface has a handy drag and drop. Drag the available users over to selected users, create a name for your new group, and add a number and if possible an extension. Once you have created a User Group, it will be added to the list on the Groups home page. From here you can manage the group name, members, extensions, phone numbers, and group features by selecting the name at the top of the column. Call Recording This will toggle a call recording option to on. NOTE: This call recording feature has time limits and is subject to privacy issues as the recording is saved to a local drive. It is recommended you instead use the Call Recording app. which when set up correctly, will save files in a secure external server, such as Amazon Web Services. Please contact your administrator for more information. Ringback This defines the hold sound when a caller is parked in the ring group. Next Action This allows you to set an alternate route for the caller if no-one picks up in the ring group. Allow Call-Forward When enabled this will allow the group's users to press their device "Forward" button to forward a call from this ring group. If this is disabled, the command will be ignored. Caller ID Prepend This feature enables custom "prepending" Caller ID notices for incoming calls. An example could be if a caller was from a foreign-speaking country, that country code could be set (all +34 numbers could be tagged as ESP for Spain, etc.) Main Number and Office Hours Management Set up your own office Main Number within SmartPBX. Once you've added a number, set up an office hours strategy, set office holidays, manage incoming call handling, and even set a Main Conference Number. Create a Main Number Go to the dashboard in SmartPBX and click "Main Number." Click "Main Company Numbers" and add a spare number or buy numbers. Create Office Hours Strategy You have the option to set a 24 hours Open Office or Custom Office Hours. If you want to customize, set the times during the week that your office will be open. Save changes. If you select Custom Hours, you will see the screen below. You have four options for inputting your hours: Add Hours Manually Select a Template Import a .csv file NOTE: Please click HERE for a detailed overview of this process. Set Office Holidays The office holidays section allows you to enter your company holiday schedule. If you have holidays entered, you will be able to assign specific Incoming Call Handling paths that are specific for holidays. Click if you are closed on holidays and click the button "Add Holiday." Add a specific holiday date, select a date range or select an advanced function. Add dates and save changes. Incoming Call Handling This is where. you will set where incoming calls will be directed, and apply customized greetings to different extensions. NOTE: We have also created a video describing the steps below for helping you with these settings. You can find it. HERE Click "Incoming Call Handling" and select how you would like to be reached during "Open Hours" and "After Hours." NOTE: Below is an overview of a simple call handling setup. If you want to include additional conditions and routing options, such as added extensions and conditions for different languages or using different answering services based on incoming country codes, refer to our more advanced call handling document, "How to set up a Virtual Receptionist", here. Select whether you would like incoming calls to go straight to a Virtual Receptionist, a User and then a Virtual Receptionist, or a User and then a Voicemail Box. If using a Virtual Receptionist, add call routes to contact the appropriate department or person. If using a Voicemail, select what voicemail you would like to use. Note that extension 0 is automatically assigned to the main number voicemail. Step through these settings for each of the office hours windows if you want a different call pattern for each. Select Main Conference Number. This must be assigned to use any of the conference features. Assign a dedicated number from your Spare numbers or purchase a new number. Set a custom greeting. If you want a custom greeting as a welcome to your conferences, add it here. -- Enable the greeting -- Type in a greeting and Text To Speech will convert it. Set your main Faxbox number This should be dedicated number for your Office's Main Fax. NOTE: If you select the Edit Faxbox setting, you can enter an email address for sending a notification when the main faxbox receives incoming documents. This is different than a "personal faxbox" which is defined and directed under each user feature. Provision Devices With provisioning in SmartPBX, you can handle many devices from multiple manufactures. The UI comes pre-populated with supported manufacturers and devices. If you had purchased a device through a certified manufacturer, you can provision a supported device by entering the Mac address and creating a name. If you did not, you will have to perform a few additional steps. If you do not have a supported device, you will have to manually provision your device. To Autoprovision a device: Click on the “Add Device” button within the “Devices” section of SmartPBX Select what type of device you would like to add. In this example, we will add a SIP phone. Select the logo of the manufacturer for the device (you may need to scroll or search to find yours) Select the model, which will be displayed along with a picture for easy identification. If you do not see your manufacturer or model, you will need to manually provision your device. At the bottom of the device model selection window, enter a device name and the MAC address. The MAC address is typically found on the back of your SIP device. Auto-Provision Devices varies among manufacturers, so you need to go into the manufacturer's website to auto-provision each device. To do this, turn on your SIP device and enter the IP Address into your web browser. Voicemail Boxes Voicemail Boxes can be created and managed within the SmartPBX UI. Voicemail Boxes will be populated in the "Voicemail Boxes" tab once a new user is created. From there you have advanced options such as providing pins, greetings, and adding recipients. NOTE: We have also created a video describing how to access your voicemail box. You can find it here To access Voicemail Boxes Click on the “Voicemail Boxes” tab of SmartPBX, just left of the dashboard. Within the “Voicemail Boxes” dashboard, click on the “Add Voicemail Box” button. Fill out all the pertinent information in Basic Settings. Manage PIN, Auto-Login, Greetings, Instructions, Delete after Notification, Configurable via Menu via Advanced Settings and Add Recipients. Announce-only Voicemail Box Perfect for closures and other informational messages, announce-only voicemail box enables a voicemail box to play a recorded message without allowing callers to leave a voicemail. This feature can be enabled and messages can be easily changed at any time from the Voicemail Box menu option. Select Voicemail Boxes. Find your name and number. Select the settings icon to the right. Select the Advanced Tab Select Announce-only mode SAVE !!! Enabling Voicemail transcription NEW! We have added a "Transcribe Voicemail" option. The transcriptions will be sent to the email associated with your user name. There are two ways to update this setting and turn it on (note there is an added charge of $0.05/minute for this feature as it requires significant storage and a transcription service) . NOTE: We have also created a video describing the steps below! Find it HERE. Option 1 From your user settings, under User / User Features / Voicemail box / Transcribe Option 2 From your voicemail boxes menu, select Advanced and check "Transcribe Messages". Feature Codes Feature Codes allows you to map common system-wide features to use keys you're already familiar with. Feature codes include call parking, intercom, voicemail and more. These feature codes can be utilized by your device. NOTE: In some cases, depending on your devices these feature codes may accept edits. This can be accessed by an administrator using the Callflows app. Easy Call Logs Diagnose call delivery problems with ease. Every call is tracked and every device that rings or that is attempted is shown. Call problems can also be reported with a single click. If you need help understanding an issue with a call, you can select the icon under the Actions column. A log will be inserted into a text editor for you to add any details of the call you think is relevant (e.g. bad static, unexpected hang up, no audio, etc.) This will give you data about the call you can send to our support team to help diagnose it. The call log might. look like this: We recommend you save your edits, and then email that file to your support team.

  6. 2600HZ STEP GUIDE – PORTING When porting a number, you are using the portal to deal directly with the carriers. The process is noted below. Please pay attention to the notes, as these can be important in completing a successful port and can all be the cause of rejections from the carriers. Checklist for Porting – What you’ll need Completed / recently updated Branding Configuration app. in KAZOO A list of numbers you want to port – 800 numbers should be a separate list A .pdf copy of your recent bill dated within 15-20 days (required by the carrier) A .pdf copy of your LOA (Letter of Authorization) for your current carrier, MUST be within 30 days of your request (preferably 15 days of your request to allow for delays). Syntax to use for Company Name, especially if you have distributed offices. (for example, ABC Company - Philadelphia, ABC Company - Denver) Overview of Steps Getting Started: Entering your Request to port Phone Numbers When porting a number, you are using the portal to deal directly with the carriers. The process is noted below. Please pay attention to the notes, as these can be important in completing a successful port and can all be the cause of rejections from the carriers. Review / Complete the Porting Checklist above Launch the Porting Manager Application At the top, you will see 3 tabs to navigate for checking the status of your ports Suspended – Saved (to continue later) or rejected ports Progressing – In progress with the Carrier Completed -- Canceled or successful ports 3. 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. Submitting a bill dated 28 or 29 days prior, may cause a rejection – please allow time for processing. The bill also must be in PDF format and cannot exceed 5mb. 6. Enter Account Information Once you click the verification box, additional fields will appear below, as well as a visual of the attached bill. The fields include the losing carrier (this should be the bill from that carrier), the Account name EXACTLY as it appears on the bill, and the Service Address. Account Names cannot exceed 25 characters which includes spaces. This is our carrier’s max limit. If the account name exceeds 25 characters, input the 1st 25 and after they submit, add a comment to the order indicating the full account name in case it rejects. These types of rejections require our carrier to make manual changes to the order on their end. 2600Hz will contact the carrier asking them to make the changes. NOTE: If the information you are providing to the fields does not EXACTLY match the bill, this can cause a rejection. Some carriers will reject for missing or added punctuation or even a space! Some carriers also use an Account Number or PIN which should be typed into the appropriate field – if none are provided, leave these blank. You will also need to populate the BTN, or BillingTelephone Number, in the last field. 7. Select Numbers to Port Next, you will be asked to list the numbers you wish to port, and then click Add Numbers to “add” them to the port. You can port a maximum of 100 numbers in one request. NOTE: Make sure to double and triple-check the numbers you enter! Solving fat finger mistakes on the numbers is close to impossible. If you are trying to port the BTN (Billing TelephoneNumber), the system will immediately recognize it and flag as shown here: IS THIS A FULL PORT OR A PARTIAL PORT? If you are porting all numbers from the account, click Full Account Port If you are only doing a partial port (meaning not all of the numbers), select Portion of Numbers. If your partial port includes the BTN from this account, you will need to note a new BTN from the numbers that will remain with the losing carrier. You can save and continue later (you will find this order under “Suspended” when you come back in to complete) or Next – LOA Form to add the Letter of Authorization to the request. 8. Review your List of Numbers! NOTE: Be sure to double check that all of the information in the document matches what is on the bill, and to double check the phone numbers to be sure they are correct. An incorrect number, or typo, can cause the entire port to be rejected! 9. Submit your Letter of Authorization Next, you’ll need to provide an LOA (Letter of Authorization). This confirms you are both eligible to authorize the cancelation of your old account and the start of your new account with 2600hz. To do this, follow the steps from this dialog box. It includes downloading our form, filling it out, signing the form and uploading it back to this application. NOTE: Your LOA MUST be uploaded in PDF format. 10. Enter preferred porting date and contact information The last piece before the review is to let the carriers know who to notify of the changes and to request a porting date. NOTE: Your requested date is not guaranteed – the porting date is not confirmed until you received your FOC date, or Final Order Confirmation date. 11. Save or Suspend your request if you're not ready NOTE: You can choose to “save” or “suspend” your application if you want a second pair of eyes to review this. Look for a button like this, available on most screens. Once saved, the request will display on your Porting home screen and provide the option to Resume. It will then restore the data you entered. 12. REVIEW REVIEW REVIEW The final step is the review. Be sure to double check the information provided, and you must check the boxes on the right, stating your agreement, before being able to submit the port. Once the boxes are checked, you can submit your port. You will see this confirmation and agreement. You will need to check all boxes. 13. What to expect next Once submitted, you should see a screen like the one below. Please submit any questions in the Message block as shown. This is the channel for support for this process. You will be notified by email: A confirmation of the date you have requested, or alternate date proposed When the porting process is complete.

  15. What is the Migration App? The Migration App allows customers to seamlessly transfer your basic callflows to SmartPBX. Using the Migration App, port your existing callflows from your Kazoo account into your new Monster account within SmartPBX. What to expect from this App: This app will allow you migrate your basic callflows from the existing Kazoo UI to SmartPBX in the new Monster UI. Any callflow that you do not wish to move can stay in the Kazoo UI for now, but will be missing some of the new features offered in SmartPBX. Some existing callflows will not be able to migrate to SmartPBX via the App, and will require a one-time manual configuration that is reviewed in the post migration section. Callflows Migrated – Some callflows cannot be added, if you do not see them please assume they cannot migrate to Monster. If you wish to re-establish this advanced functionality, it can be found in the Advanced Callflow App. To begin migration: We highly recommend that you do this account-by account, test it, and do it on off hours. This is a helper tool and the tool cannot migrate over everything. Click into the Migration App. Once in, find on the left a list of current accounts and subaccounts. Select one account or subaccount and then select the "Start Migration" button. Please note: in order to migrate accounts, each subaccount will need to be migrated independently of the parent account one at a time. Each account and sub account will individually need to be migrated. The User Callflow will appear first. Utilize the handy "Migrate Callflow" check box to select or deselect the specific callflows you would like to migrate. Once you have decided what callflows you would like to migrate, select the "Next" button. The ring-group callflow will appear.

Language packs provide localization for Kazoo apps. The Language Pack Editor allows you to view, edit, and create language packs of your own in order to support your language of choice. This guide contains step-by-step instructions for using the Language Pack Editor. English to German Translation, Underway! The Language Pack Editor provides you with the terms to translate on the left and a field to enter your translation on the right: For simple menu items and titles, this is relatively straightforward. But for other items, such as the following error messages, things get tricky: How would you know what to enter for "noMatchingNumbers"? We'll dive into this more deeply later, but the short answer is that you can use the existing English translations as your guide. In fact, the Language Pack Editor supplies "reference files" just for this purpose. Here's a sample from an English reference file: Quick Steps We'll be covering the following topics: Accessing the Language Pack Editor Creating a new language pack Modifying your new language pack Cloning an existing language pack Submitting your completed language pack Reference File shortcuts Downloading all language packs 1. Accessing the Language Pack Editor From your Kazoo home page, select the Apps icon in the application bar. Search for "Languages" using the search tool. Open the app by clicking on the Languages icon. You should see the following screen: Each application can have one or more language packs. You may use the search tool on this page to filter the applications based on your search criteria. 2. Creating a new language pack There are a few ways of creating a new language pack. We're going to start with the simplest way; starting from scratch. Click on the app icon that you wish to localize: On the next page, select [ + New Language Pack ]: This will bring you to the main language pack editing screen: The language pack editor consists of three columns. The left-most column contains the Content Structure, which is useful for locating the page elements that you wish to add or edit. You can click on any element in the Content Structure to jump to the corresponding value in the editor. The middle column contains the main editor. Here's where you'll be entering your translations. The top of the middle column contains default working filename and a download button. Ignore the filename and download button for now. We'll cover those in just a moment. Selecting a Reference File The right-most column is reserved for displaying reference files. Reference files provide existing translations which can be helpful when adding new translations in the main editor. Reference Files might sound fancy, but they're really just exiting language packs that are displayed side-by-side with the language packs that you're creating or editing. It's likely that you'll want to use a reference file while creating your first language pack. At the top of the right-most column, select a reference file from the drop-down menu: Once selected, the reference file will appear to the right of the main language pack editor: Adding Translations At this point, you're ready to start adding your own translations to the form fields displayed in the middle column. Go for it! Any fields left blank will default to English in the application. It's a good idea to frequently download your language pack while you work to avoid any loss of work due to power outages, authentication timeous, etc. See "Downloading Your Work" in the next section. Downloading Your Work At the top of the middle column in the Language Pack Editor, you'll see the default working filename and a download button. We ignored these up until now. In order to save your work, you must download the active language pack to your computer. Rename the working file name to something like "japanese-user-portal.json", ensuring that the filename ends in .json , then click the Download button. You'll be able to upload this file later if you need to make updates. Next Steps Now that you've completed entering all of your translations and have downloaded a local copy of the language file to your computer, you're ready to deliver that file to our staff for installation. Continue to the section below titled "Submitting your completed language pack" for further instructions. 3. Modifying your new language pack If you haven't already, please complete the tutorial above titled "Creating a new language pack". That tutorial covers essential information about using the language pack editor and saving your work. Open the Languages app and select the app associated with the language pack that you'd like to edit: On the next page, click on the browse button to locate your previously downloaded language pack: Select your previously saved language definition file. The file selection dialog box may look different depending on your operating system: Click on Open to continue. The previously saved language pack should now open and be editable in the language pack editor. (Please be aware that we do not currently provide a Japanese language pack. The Japanese shown is for illustration purposes only.) It may be helpful to open a reference file while editing your language pack. For more information about reference files, please refer to the instructions under the section titled "Creating a new language pack" above where reference files are introduced. Once you have completed making updates to your language pack, download your language pack. 4. Cloning an existing language pack This section assumes that you've completed the "Creating a new language pack" tutorial above. If you haven't already, please complete that tutorial before proceeding. This tutorial teaches you how to clone an existing language pack. This may be useful if you wish to implement British English as opposed to American English, or customize an existing language pack to your own liking. Open the Languages app and select the app associated with the language pack that you'd like to clone: On the next page, select [ + Clone Exiting Language Pack ]: You will be prompted to select an existing language pack to clone. Select a language pack and click on Clone Language Pack. The language pack will load in the language pack editor to allow you to make changes: It may be helpful to open a reference file while editing your language pack. For more information about reference files, please refer to the instructions under the section titled "Creating a new language pack" above where reference files are introduced. Once you have completed making updates to your language pack, download the modified language pack. 5. Submitting your completed language pack Once you've completed editing your language pack, the next step is simple. Contact us! Our staff will be happy to review your language pack and add it to Kazoo. 6. Reference File shortcuts On the Language Packs APP home page, you may have noticed a column called "Languages". These buttons are shortcuts that: Create a new language pack Automatically open a reference file based on the button you select 7. Downloading all language packs Each app displayed on the Language Packs APP home page has a corresponding download button. These buttons can be used to download all language packs associated with an app at once: Languages App - Step Guide (Emily Ransford).docx View full File
  19. 2600HZ STEP GUIDE –CALLFLOWS -- CREATING CONFERENCE BRIDGES Within the Call Flows App, you have the ability to create, edit or delete Conference bridges.

  20. 2600HZ USER GUIDE - BLOCK LISTING NUMBERS Within the Call Flows App, you will find the Blocklist set up. The Blocklist is used to block calls from a particular number. Note this does not blocklist outgoing calls. Create your Blocklist List of Numbers Click into the Advanced Callflows App and select Blocklist 2. Once in the Blocklist submenu, click 3. add a Name (for reference), and add the number. NOTES: You can also block all Anonymous calls by switching the “Block Anonymous” to On. It is important you add the exact number sequence you want to block, which in most cases includes a country code. (including the US +1). To verify the number(s) match, you can view your call log in SmartPBX. See the section below for details. Activate your list Once you've created the set of numbers, you will need to Activate that list for your specific account. Select the Return to Callflows Home button at the top right of your screen Go to the Account Settings block Select the Blocklist tab Drag your newly named Blocklist list from "Available" to "Selected and select the green UPDATE button at the bottom. To confirm the correct Number entry If you want to make sure you are including the exact number as the blocklist routine will see it, you can view your call log and retrieve it there. Follow these steps Access SmartPBX Go to the Call Logs menu item Search for the call you've identified, and expand its listing. Select the gear to the right for a detail of the call routing and number. You will see something like below: Use the "caller_id_number" as displayed here on your blocklist entry. Frequently Asked Questions How do I block / blocklist Anonymous calls? To blocklist Anonymous calls you will need to follow these steps: Create a blocklist and name it (e.g. Block Anonymous) Toggle the switch saying "Block Anonymous" on Return to Callflows / Account Settings and assign that blocklist file to the list Select the green Update button to Save. NOTES: This provides a first-level screening for calls where caller-IDs are tagged as anonymous. If this is not filtering calls as expected, it's likely some added layers of configuration settings need to be reviewed: The caller may have added a layer of deception about the call, using techie-geeky strategies such as using a zero phone number 000000000 to a marking a SIP flag as "privacy=true". If these kinds of calls persist, follow the steps above for "to confirm the correct number" from your SmartPBX log and manually blocklist the specific number. If you are a Private Cloud or Global Infrastructure client and use your own carrier, your carrier may have a unique strategy for dealing with anonymous calls that KAZOO doesn't anticipate. Check with support to help review your call logs. If your blocklist assignment is still letting calls come through, you may need to contact support so they can analyze your SIP call logs and Carrier settings at a more detailed level.

  25. CARRIERS - STEP GUIDE 2600Hz has made carrier management easy by enabling you to add and store multiple carrier templates on the interface. Setup and deployment is extremely easy, requiring minimal time and effort. Select your outbound calling priority settings for each service. When setting up a carrier for your users, you can select the carrier options through prebuilt or your custom-built templates. Once you have added providers for outbound calling services, you can immediately begin prioritizing them. Adding Providers Once you have purchased your IPs you can add a carrier to your account. Add a service provider from a prebuilt template or create a new one from scratch and customize settings based on your needs. Adding Carriers Once you have purchased your IPs you can add a carrier to your account. Add a service provider from a prebuilt template or create a new one from scratch and customize settings based on your needs. You can set rules for each carrier. Once added, the list of configured services providers will be listed in the interface. Adding Rules for each carrier If you use more than one carrier, you must add rules that assign specific call types and provide prefix and suffix information. Once assigned you can enable or disable a carrier as needed. Advanced Carrier Settings Within the Carrier Settings, there are several Advanced settings to consider. They are accessed from the Advanced button on the top right of the screen: Flags Manager Ignore Flags If this is checked, placing an outbound call from a device with flags set on its configuration should use this carrier regardless of matching flags. Require Flags When checked, this carrier is ignored if the request does not specify outgoing flags Create Flag Allows you to name a flag and add it to the list for this carrier. Audio & Video This provides your customization of the audio and video settings. Drag the available codecs to the "Selected" box. Gateway Settings Realm If the SIP realm provided by this carrier is different from the server and you're using password authentication the you MUST set this field for outbound calls to work. Progress Timeout How long should calls wait for them to begin ringing? Sometimes calls such as international take longer, however if the carrier is down large values will delay failover Privacy Mode Restricts the presentation of Caller ID on calls. If a call has privacy flags, "Anonymous" and "0000000000" would be shown as caller ID name and caller ID number, respectively. Supports T.38 When using fax devices check this to attempt to switch to T.38. If the carrier doesn't support this codec, the call will be dropped. Static Route If the call needs to be sent to the same URI regardless of what was dialed, configure the destination here. Format from URI Check this to replace the SIP FROM header (often used for Caller-ID) with the following Realm Custom SIP Interface If your system has been configured with multiple SIP interfaces, check this option to display the interface name used to route outbound calls. Dynamic Invite Parameters Enter comma separated values Static Invite Parameters Enter comma separated values Notes This is a handy area for you to add notes about your settings, including the expiration date and other details of your carrier contract. Set Outbound Calling Priorities Within the Calling Priorities screen you can set priorities for your carriers. You can choose a global carrier to always be the priority, or set priorities based on the type of call. If you select the same priorities for all, simply drag the carrier listing up or down to set your preference. If you select "choose different priorities" then you will see the screen below. Each type of call will display the carriers you've selected; drag the order you prefer into place. If you have not selected a carrier for some of the outgoing call services, you will see a red triangle. You must return to the Service Providers tab and assign a carrier from there. Once you select Save Changes, you will get a confirmation you have completed your assignments! View full File
