Flexible Ringing by Caller ID

Aspire can either reject incoming calls marked “Private” for CID and play a VRS message to the caller or route to a ring group or alternate extension.

When CID is received, Aspire can check it against an entry in the ABB table and reject or route the call to an alternate extension or ring group.

With a VRS, the customer can record the rejection message. With no VRS, ISDN will reject the call; analog lines will go to ring-no-answer if not programmed to go to a ring group.

Extension ability to set/cancel call rejection by COS.
