SARK V4.0.0 Globals
Contents
Globals
The SARK globals panel is where we set system-wide variables which control aspects of the overall behaviour of the PBX. For convenience, the values are loosely grouped under 4 tabs, or sections, called; "General", "Services", "Call-Control" and "Admin". Aside from a few exceptions, most values can be left to default. You can get help for any particular variable by hovering your mouse over its heading.
Variable descriptions
General
External IP Address
This variable is required if you wish to conduct SIP sessions across the Internet. It is the Internet IP address of your installation or site as seen from outside. If you don't intend to run SIP over the internet then you can leave it empty.
Country Code
Self-explanatory
Voicemail Instructions
Controls whether a long or short auto-attendant description is played each time a caller is directed to a voice mailbox.
Late Termination
Controls when SARK will take a call "off-hook", i.e. answer it. Usually this value should be set to YES which means that the call will only be answered when the destination extension picks-up.
Conference Type
Can be set to "simple" or "hosted". Controls whether the reception IVR plays a long or short introduction when a user joins a conference.
