Quick Start Guide
Make your first call in under five minutes.
Two Ways to Click
Your FE sets each channel's ring type. A regular click uses that ring type; Ctrl+Click always starts a Monitor.
| Click | What Happens |
|---|---|
| Click | Dial (rings) or Override (instant), depending on the channel type. |
| Ctrl + Click | Monitor — silent listen. |
Tooltip tells you
Hover a channel to see "Click to call" or "Click to override" — that's the channel's configured ring type.

Step 1: Make Your First Call
- Find an online channel (green dot, colored border).
- Click it.
- Wait for the target to accept. A dialing tone plays while you wait.
- Talk.
Step 2: Answer a Call
- You'll hear a ring and see the call in the Pending Calls panel.
- Click Accept to answer or Reject to decline.
Ring timeout
Calls ring for a limited time. If you don't answer, the call ends automatically.

Step 3: End a Call
Click the red End button in the Active Call panel.
Step 4: Override
If a channel is set to Override, clicking it connects you instantly — no ringing. An override tone plays on both sides, and any active call on the recipient's end is put on hold until you hang up. Use for time-critical coordination.
Step 5: Monitor
Ctrl + Click any channel to listen silently. Useful to check if a controller is mid-transmission before you call them.
