***Call Routing Overrides***
These are defined per-customer-PBX, but in most cases override ‘0’ alters the call flow for their main line. They are “tri-state” switches, that can force the call in one of two directions, or if not set, allow it to fall through to default routing.

*55X – Set override X to “force-enable” BH
*56X – Set override X to “force-disable” AH
*57X – Remove override X
*58X – Set or remove a PIN for override X (to remove a PIN, press ‘#’ when it asks for a new one).

The standard configuration for most customers using override ‘0’ to alter main incoming call flow:

*550 – Force to business hours
*560 – Force to afterhours
*570 – Remove force – back to normal time/day-based routing
*580 – Set a PIN that will be required before you can use the previous three codes

***Special Call-Forwards***
These are immediate call-forwards that aren’t linked to any particular extension – they are instead hooked in to particular locations in the dialplan so that, for example, calls that would normally go to the main menu can be diverted.

*52X – Set SpecialCF X with voice prompts
*52Xxxxx – Set SpecialCF X to xxxx.
*53X – Remove SpecialCF X
*54X – Set or remove a PIN from SpecialCF X

The standard configuration for most customers using special call-forward ‘0’ to forward calls coming through the main incoming call flow:

*520 – Set up forward for main line using voice prompts
*530 – Turn off the forward
*540 – Set/remove PIN for the above

***Toggle Switch/Night Switch Function***

*50x – to enable/disable
