IVR

The IVR (Interactive Voice Response) (or Phone Tree) presents callers with a menu and options for call routing. Callers dial-in and select an option on the numberpad which is mapped to an extension for a specific department or group within the company. These extensions can be routed to different SIP addresses, PSTN numbers, internal extension numbers, other IVRs, conference bridges, groups, and Class 5 applications. When you create an IVR, you specify a 1:1 mapping for all the possible keys on the keypad.
