FortiVoice Phone System Administration Guide

Modifying feature access codes

Modifying feature access codes

By default, the FortiVoice unit defines the following codes for users to access certain features by dialing the codes. You can go to Call Feature > Feature Code > Vertical Service Code/Mid-Call/DTMF Code and double-click a feature name to modify its code and description, but that does not change the mapping between the code and the feature. For example, if you change the DISA code from the default ** to 12, dialing 12 still accesses the DISA feature.

FortiVoice supports the following feature access codes:

  • Vertical service codes: Are a sequence of digits and the signals star (*) and number sign (#) dialed on a telephone keypad or rotary dial to enable or disable certain telephony service features. See Vertical service codes
  • Mid-Call/DTMF codes: Allow you to hold, transfer, and conference calls by using DTMF digit codes entered on the phone. See Mid-Call/DTMF Codes
  • Floating codes: Allow you to limit international, long distance, or local calls. See Floating code format.

Vertical service codes

To access the list of codes, go to Call Feature > Feature Code > Vertical Service Code.
