We are wanting to know if it is possible if our phone system IP Office 500 (I believe that's our system), I use IP Office 6.1 Manager.

Anyways, is it possible when a certain call comes in if we can forward it to a particular line/extension/huntgroup?

Thanks. I know it's real broad of a question but it was just an idea to fix prevent a call from flooding our system.
 
Simple answer is yes you can route calls by the caller id being sent to the IP Office
 
I like simple.

How do we configure IP Office to route calls by caller ID?
 
go to incoming call routes then press the F1 key for help

Any good IP office engineer will tell you that the help files are invaluable.
I would bet that all of the MVP's (on the right) for this forum use then regularly.
I certainly do.

I keep forgetting to use the help. Every time I have an idea, I'll google it but then can't find an answer I'll email support and they tell me F1, but I always forget to check the Help.

I think I found it. Incoming CLI??

As I am reading and looking further into it, I'm not sure if this is correct.
Currently we have incoming call routes set up but only when a certain numbered is dialed to go to a specific destination. But we want to be able to route a call based on the caller's phone number to a specific destination. Is this possible?

UPDATE:
I just did a few tests and I think I figured it out. I still need to put an incoming number that the caller dialed. Then I enter a phone number in Incoming CLI and if it matches the call gets diverted somewhere else. I also made this a higher priority than the "regular" incoming call number so it takes precedence.
 
If you put a * in as incoming number and enter the CLI you want to route it will always match no matter what DDI/DID number they dialled :)
