10. Network Operator (Optional)
In some cases, you may wish to direct all incoming calls to be answered by an operator before they reach any personnel. In this example, we are assigning Ext. 501 (A) as our operator, and changing the settings so that all incoming calls (regardless of their origin) go through the operator as a first point of contact.
Please note that this is an additional (optional) exercise, should you not wish to retain this setting for your business, return all settings as they were in the previous exercise.

10.5 Reset
Once you finish this training exercise, please remember to revert back to the previous settings. A quick method to reset is Key 0 to Ring Extension >> Index #50, Ext. 301 in (X2820n) and leave Ext. 398 and SIP trunk on the system for other exercises.
Otherwise, clear Ext. 398 in (X2820n) and delete SIP trunk, NetOperator in (X3510).
