Unity Connection System Call handler

I have a system call handler that plays a very simple greeting, allows the
caller to select 1 of 2 options.

I have a requirement that two numbers have to ring to this menu. (one of
the numbers goes directly to the menu, the other rings a huntlist first, so
I can't just do a number translation in Callmanager to make it be the same
number)

I know with voicemail boxes, you can add an alternate extension. Can you
do this with a system call handler? Or do I have to just build and
maintain two menu's?

Should I just remove the system call handler, and build it off a voicemail
box?

Alternate extensions are great, but callers will be transferred to the primary extension when dialed at at UCxn prompt. Using a voicemail box might be easier, but it uses up a license. Calls forwarded to it may behave slightly different as well.

Other than that, another system call handler with a blank greeting that transfers to the menu structure is doable. I would avoid maintaining two.

Depending on how the call comes into Unity (directed or redirected) you can
just use routing rules to accomplish this.

Hmm... Hadn't thought about doing a blank greeting

Re: Unity Connection System Call handler [In reply to]

The method I used to do this was to setup a Forwarded Routing Rule, then
sends the call directly to the appropriate call handler based on the
Dialed number field.

I originally did it on Unity, but it seems to work fine on our fresh
Unity Connection installation as well.
