SwitchVox

A note for configuration parameters:

  • If you see a variable, for example on this document: <dv-ext-num>.
  • This variable is used in multiple places, so it's important to make note of them.
  • The variables on the SwtichVox configuration is up to the PBX technician to pick the best option to follow the rest of their PBX configuration.
  • Then the DuVoice technician will need to know the information so that they can add the same parameters to the DuVoice server for integration.
