there are three menus. The Home Menu and two sub menus: Sales

and Customer Service. Each menu should have an accompanying audio file
which informs the callers of their options. In each menu you can allow or disallow
the dialing of extensions. You can also assign the following options to each menu
based on the action performed by the caller. Each option is followed by example
content for the accompanying audio file.

• Direct a call to an extension. “Dial 1 to reach the operator.”
• Direct a caller to the next menu. “Dial 2 to reach the sales department.”
• Allow the caller to listen to the current menu again. “Dial 3 to listen to this menu

• Allow the caller to go back to the previous menu. “Dial 4 to go back to the
