User Guide MX-ONE Messaging Voice Mail 4.2 Telephone User Interfacee 1

Welcome

Welcome to MX-ONE Messaging Voice Mail, the unified messaging application from Aastra.

With Messaging Voice Mail, you can access and manage all your messages - voice, fax, and e-mail - in a single telephone call. This user guide introduces the advanced messaging fetures of Messaging Voice Mail using the

Telephone User Interface (TUI) – the interface you access whenever you call into your mailbox by phone.

You can begin using the Telephone User Interface immediately once your mailbox, called a subscriber mailbox, is set up. Easy-to-follow voice prompts guide you through the system. Initially, you may use just some of the features, doing basic activities such as listening to and sending voice messages. As you become more familiar with

Messaging Voice Mail, however, you can start using its powerful message management features to save you time and help you work more efficiently.

For example, you can set Messaging Voice Mail to present newer messages first or to present them in the order recieved. To quickly access the messages you want – whether voice, fax, or e-mail – you can set it to present messages by type. If you serve a number of important clients, you can set Messaging Voice Mail to notify you immediately when a message arrives, even to your pager or mobile phone.

If you are out of the office, you can let your callers know using your out-of-office greeting. You can also ensure that important messages are handled promptly by automatically forwarding all your messages or selected messages to another person. So whether you are in the office or traveling, you can still access and manage your messages to the benefit of you and your clients.

Introduction to the Telephone User Interface

General Information

The Messaging Voice Mail Telephone User Interface allows you to manage the following message types:

• Voice

• Fax

• E-mail

Note: Fax and e-mail are optional features which may not be available on your system or to all users on the system.

Message management features

Away from the office, the telephone is the most convenient tool for managing messages. On the road, the telephone is the most common and readily available device for delivery and access of messages. But its use has traditionally been limited to only voice mail. The Messaging Voice Mail

Telephone User Interface provides flexible message management features for all of your incoming voice, fax, and e-mail messages.

Unified messaging through the telephone

Messaging Voice Mail brings the same convenience of retrieving and managing voice messages to fax and e-mail messages. You can access, reply to and forward all three message types from any telephone. Wherever you have a phone, you have access to your messages.



What can you do?


The Messaging Voice Mail Telephone User Interface offers several additional features. Separate message queues, the ability to access messages by type and urgency, and group processing are just a few of the powerful and time-saving features that streamline your message management load.

Call from any telephone to hear how many messages await you, who they are from, when they were received, and the priority status of each message. Save or delete any of your messages (voice, fax, and e-mail).

With group processing you can manage multiple messages with a single command. You can then save invaluable time by selecting multiple messages and processing them all with one command. So if you have just enough time to listen to your messages, but not respond to them, you can quickly select all of the messages which require immediate attention

- and with one command - forward them all to any

Messaging Voice Mail subscriber with a single voice annotation. When travelling you can also forward all of your fax or e-mails at once to a hotel fax machine.

This transforms your telephone into a truly universal messaging tool, where you manage messages using nothing more than a telephone.

Fax and e-mail messages are managed by using the same commands as voice messages, thereby simplifying message management.

When handling incoming messages you can:

• Listen to your incoming voice messages.

• Listen to voice comments “attached” to a incoming fax message (if available from another Messaging Voice

Mail subscriber).




• Listen to your incoming e-mail text message as

Messaging Voice Mail reads them to you over the telephone using text-to-speech conversion. Use the same playback functions of voice mail including start/ stop/resume, backup, advance, control the speed and volume of message playback, etc.

• View your incoming e-mail text messages or fax messages by forwarding them to any fax machine.

• Reply to any of your incoming messages (e-mail, fax, or voice) with a voice message, to one or more

Messaging Voice Mail subscribers, or place a call to the extension of the sender.

• Forward any of your incoming messages (e-mail, fax, or voice), adding an optional voice comment

(annotation), to one or more Messaging Voice Mail subscribers.

• Forward any of your incoming e-mail text messages or fax messages to any fax machine.

Note: The last feature is the same as “View your incoming fax messages by forwarding them to any fax machine”. This makes the message available for access by another person.

When creating new messages you can:

• Create (record) and send a new voice message to one or more Messaging Voice Mail subscribers.

• Create and send a new fax message, adding an optional voice comment, to one or more Messaging Voice Mail subscribers from any fax-equipped telephone.

Note: Text-to-speech for e-mail text messages is a feature available only in certain languages.



Getting Started

Getting Started

Messaging Voice Mail can automatically guide new users through the process of setting up their mailboxes. However, if you are not guided through this process, follow these steps to record your name and personal greeting and set your security code. It is important that you set up your mailbox before using Messaging Voice Mail.

Note: Each Messaging Voice Mail system may be configured differently so check with the system administrator for exact setup instructions.

Access your subscriber mailbox

Dial the Messaging Voice Mail internal or external telephone number

Press the key that your system has been configured for to access messages

Normally this is the # key, but the system administrator can change it to another key or sequence of keys.

Alternatively, if the system administrator has enabled quick logon, then you may access your subscriber mailbox by calling your own phone number. When your own personal greeting begins to play, press the key on your telephone that your system administrator configured as the one to use for quick logon. Contact your administrator for more information.

Enter your subscriber mailbox number

If Messaging Voice Mail recognizes your phone number it will not prompt you for you mailbox number, just your security code.



Getting Started

Enter your security code

The first time you access your mailbox, your security code may be set to the system default security code.

If the setup tutorial is configured for your mailbox, you will be automatically walked through changing your security code and recording your name and greeting. Otherwise, follow the next three steps to set up your mailbox.

Step 1. Change your security code


As described on previous page.

Press to change your security code

When prompted, enter a new numeric security code and press

Security codes must be numeric and may be up to 15 digits in length. The system administrator may set a minimum security code length of anything between 2 and 15 digits.

Ask your system administrator for the minimum security code length for your system. Try to avoid using simple combinations such as your mailbox number or “1234”.

You may need to change your security code periodically, depending on selections made by the system administrator.

In this case you will be alerted at logon when your security code expires. If your security code has expired, you will be prompted to change your security code when you access your mailbox. You will not be able to listen to or send messages until you change your security code.



Getting Started

Messaging Voice Mail tells you that your security code has been changed.

Step 2. Record your name to identify your mailbox

Customize Your Mailbox

Messaging Voice Mail provides a number of features that let you customize the way your mailbox works. You can use these PhoneManager features at any time to modify your mailbox so that it meets your changing needs. For example:

• Immediate message notification - Messaging Voice

Mail calls you when a new message arrives in your mailbox. You can specify notification for urgent messages only, messages from a specific mailbox, and specific message types such as voice, fax, or e-mail.

You can also set notification for certain hours of the day and days of the week, and create a personal call list of up to nine telephone or pager numbers.

• Short Message Service (SMS) - Messaging Voice Mail can notify you of new messages on your mobile phone or alphanumeric pager provided the device supports

SMS.

• Daily message reminder - Messaging Voice Mail calls you at the same time and place each day to deliver your calls. Simply specify the time of day you want to be notified and the telephone number to call.

• Automatic message forwarding - lets you automatically forward messages to a specific mailbox. Feature options let you set forwarding for urgent messages only, for messages from a specific mailbox, and for specific message types (voice and fax). You can also choose when messages will be forwarded; the hour of the day and the day of the week.

• Message presentation - lets you customize how

Messaging Voice Mail presents messages so that you listen to the messages you want to hear first. Messaging

Voice Mail can present messages based on type, urgent status, and when they were delivered (first-in first-out or last-in first-out). When you set Messaging Voice Mail to present messages by type, it plays an additional menu after you press a key to listen to messages, letting you choose the message type you want to access: voice, fax, e-mail, those from outside callers, or those from a specific mailbox.




• Out-of-office greeting - If you will be out of the office for a period of time, it is often customary to change your greeting to let callers know. Many people spend a fair amount of time getting their standard greeting to sound just the way they want it. So instead of recording over your standard greeting, you can record an out-ofoffice greeting. If the out-of-office greeting is enabled, callers will hear it instead of your standard greeting.

When you return to the office, logon to your mailbox and disable your out-of-office greeting. The system will go back to playing your standard greeting. If you will be out of the office for an extended period of time and will not be checking your messages, you may ask your system administrator to configure your mailbox so that callers will not be able to leave a message after listening to your out-of-office greeting.

• Call screening and call blocking - with call screening, you can find out who is calling, and then accept the call or send it to you mailbox, allowing the caller to leave a message. With call blocking, all calls are automatically sent to your mailbox. Both call screening and call blocking only work for calls routed by Messaging

Voice Mail to your extension (e.g. through the autoattendant).

• Extension Specific Processing (ESP) - if you have special call-handling needs, this feature lets you provide options to your callers in addition to leaving a message or pressing 0 for the operator. Before this feature can be used, the system administrator must set up ESP for you.

Some features may be restricted or not available. Check with the system administrator for availability and for more information on any of these PhoneManager features.

Other Features

Other Features You May Have

Messaging Voice Mail offers additional features that your company may have purchased. This section introduces these features so you can understand what they mean to your messaging activities.

Before using any of these features, check with the system administrator to find out if it is available and enabled for your mailbox.

Unified Messaging

Unified Messaging

1

integrates the Messaging Voice Mail server with your company's e-mail server, so you can perform all the functions normally done through the phone and more, directly on your desktop computer. You can see who sent the messages, when they were sent, and how long they are. Because you can listen to messages in any order, it is easy to act on the important ones first with the click of a mouse button. Messaging Voice Mail integrates with such leading e-mail software programs as Microsoft Exchange/

Outlook and Lotus Domino/Notes. When Messaging Voice

Mail is integrated with e-mail, you can manage your voice and fax messages from within the e-mail interface you are already using.

Unified Messaging also lets you access your e-mail by phone, giving you the ability to check all your messages even when you are out of the office. You can then manage your e-mail using the same commands used for voice and fax messages. For example, you can do the following from a phone:

• Listen to your e-mail messages if your Messaging

Voice Mail system has text-to-speech capability.

28

1 This feature may be restricted or not available. Check with the system administrator for availability.



Other Features

• Reply to an e-mail message with a voice message. You can reply to an e-mail even if it was sent from someone outside of your company. The message sender recieves the e-mail with an attached voice message (WAV file), which can be played by any computer equipped with speakers.

• Forward an e-mail message with voice comments to one or more subscribers. When you forward an e-mail message with voice comments, the message recipients recieves an e-mail message with an attached voice message (WAV file).

• Print

1

your e-mail by forwarding it to an fax machine.

You can print your e-mail message at any time and at any fax machine.

Managing faxes

1

is an integral part of Unified Messaging.

You can manage your fax messages in much the same way that you manage voice messages. You can recieve faxes from outside your company directly to your desktop computer, thereby freeing you from waiting by fax machines or worrying about faxes getting lost if you aren’t there. You can also access your fax messages over the phone.

When a system is set up to use Unified Messaging, the system administrator may have set up your mailbox to use

Mailbox Enumeration. This means that the Messaging

Voice Mail server will retrieve messages from your e-mail server in smaller groups as opposed to retrieving all the messages at once. This will speed up the access to messages for users who have hundreds or even thousands of messages in their e-mail accounts. You as a user, will hear slightly different prompts, when using this feature. Your system administrator knows if you have this feature enabled, and can give you further assistance.

1

This feature requires that Messaging Voice Mail be equipped with a fax server.



Other Features

Networking

With Networking you can send and receive voice messages to and from other offices. If your company has branch offices, you can communicate with subscribers in these remote sites as easily as you do with subscribers in your own office.

Voice Intercept Messaging (VIM)

Voice Intercept Messaging (VIM) lets you provide callers with informative messages about your schedule when you are not available to answer the phone. For example, your diversion greeting could say “at lunch” or “in a meeting,” then indicate when you might be available. Callers can then decide to leave a message, transfer to an operator or personal assistant, transfer to your mobile phone or another number, or hear the menu choices again in another language. You can set a diversion so it begins immediately, or specify future diversions for scheduled activities such as meetings and vacations.

Note: Voice Intercept Messaging is sometimes also referred to as Diverted Call Processing or Message Diversion.



Useful Hints

Tips for Handling Incoming Messages

Change message volume to hear messages better.

While listening to a message, you might find it difficult to hear the person’s voice – it might be too loud or soft for comfortable listening. You can pause the message during playback (press 1), then press 6 to increase volume or 9 to lower volume, one or more times until the desired volume is reached. Press 1 again to resume message playback.

Move through voice messages at the speed you want.

When you have a long voice message or a caller that speaks too fast, use the Messaging Voice Mail speed controls. Press

1 while listening to the message; then press 4 to increase speed or 7 to reduce speed, one or more times until you reach a comfortable playback speed. Press 1 to resume message playback.

If you recieve a lot of fax and e-mail messages, set

Messaging Voice Mail to present messages by type

1

.

After you press the 1 key to listen to messages, Messaging

Voice Mail plays another menu, letting you choose what message type you want to access. For information about how to present messages by type, see ”Customizing

Messaging Voice Mail” in this guide.

Place a phone call from within your mailbox if you need to reach someone quickly.

A new menu option, 9 Other Services

2

, at the main subscriber menu lets you place an outside call. Use this feature if you are checking messages away from the office and want to immediately return a call to an associate without re-entering the phone number.

1 This feature is available only if Unified Messaging is installed. Check with the system administrator for availability. For more information about Unified

Messaging, see page 28.

2 This feature may not be available. Check with the system administrator for availability.



Useful Hints

If you mistakenly delete a message, retrieve it before exiting your mailbox.

Press * one keypress at a time until you hear the main menu to your subscriber mailbox. Press 7 to retrieve deleted messages and follow the commands to locate the message you want to keep. Deleted messages are not kept once you exit your mailbox, so be sure to retrieve any messages that you want to keep before exiting or hanging up.

Speed logon with automatic phone number identification.

The system administrator can configure Messaging Voice

Mail to automatically identify you when you call your mailbox from a frequently used outside phone number

1

, allowing you to log on by entering your security code rather than by entering your mailbox number and security code.

You might use this feature, for example, if you frequently call in to check messages using your mobile phone.

Access specific message information, such as a phone number or address, with a bookmark.

To set a bookmark, press 1 to pause the message, then press 5. Next, press 1 to return to the message. To skip to a bookmark from any point in the message, pause the message and press 8. The message immediately begins playing from that point. You can set one bookmark per message.

Improve your message handling by processing related messages as a group.

The group selection feature lets you process multiple messages with a single command. For example, you can select all your faxes and forward them to a nearby fax machine. Group processing applies only to those messages selected during the same session. When you exit your mailbox, all selections are deselected.

1

This feature may be restricted or not available. Check with the system administrator for availability.



Useful Hints

Be aware that Messaging Voice Mail does not save messages indefinitely.

Messages stored in your mailbox for a set period of days will be automatically erased. You will be notified when you first log on if any messages are scheduled for automatic deletion. These messages will also be identified when you listen to them individually. To find out how long your mailbox stores messages, see the system administrator.

Tips for Recording and Sending Messages

Use the subscriber directory to get unknown mailbox numbers.

After pressing 2 to record a message, you may realize you do not know the recipient’s mailbox number. Press # and follow the voice instructions to get the number you need.

If you frequently send messages to the same group of subscribers, save time and keystrokes by using a personal ditribution list mailbox.

For example, you can have a personal distribution list mailbox for the sales department that lets you reach all of the salespeople by sending a single message to that mailbox.

To get a personal disribution list mailbox, see the system administrator. Once it is set up by the system administrator, you can, as the sponsor, record a name and maintain the distribution list mailbox as needed.

Use Messaging Voice Mail for personal reminders.

Simply record and send a message to your own subscriber mailbox and specify future delivery. The message will arrive in your mailbox when you need the reminder. Use

Messaging Voice Mail to remind yourself of important meetings, deadlines, or even birthdays.



Useful Hints

Add introductory comments when forwarding a message

to another voice mail user, such as “I’m forwarding a

message from so-and-so....”

This ”frames” the forwarded message, providing a context for the recipient. Without an introduction the reciever may misinterpret the message. Also, if no introduction is included, the retriever may try to respond to the original sender, only to inadvertently respond to you instead.

When replying to a message, briefly indicate which message you are responding to.

Do not assume that the recipient knows which message you are referring to. You can introduce your response with an opener, such as “Hi Jim. Responding to your message regarding the Blake account....”

Recording Personal Greetings

Be sure to record your name and personal greetings.

Callers will know that they have reached the correct mailbox when they hear your voice. You may want to start with one of the sample greetings shown below. The busy greeting is typically recorded once and never changed. Only use the out-of-office greeting if you are gone; that greeting remains in effect until you disable it.

Sample standard greeting: “You have reached <your name>. I’m sorry to have missed your call. Please leave a detailed message and I’ll return your call.”

Sample busy greeting: “You have reached <your name>.

I’m on the phone right now. Please leave a detailed message and I’ll return your call.”

Sample out-of-office greeting: “You have reached <your name>. I’m currently traveling on business and will be returning on <day and date>. I will be checking my messages daily. Please leave a detailed message and I’ll return your call.”



Useful Hints

Consider recording your standard greeting each day.

Doing this conveys to your callers that you closely manage your mailbox and access your voice mail daily.

Sample standard greeting changed daily: “You have reached

<your name> on <day and date>. I’m in the office but was unable to take your call. Please leave a detailed message and I’ll return your call.”

Request a callback number from your callers to return their calls more easily.

When you press 8 to reply to the message, Messaging Voice

Mail uses the callback number to place the call. This number also appears on your pager or mobile phone, or when the message is shown on your desktop computer. To use this feature, you may want to include the following line at the end of your greeting:

“To leave a callback phone number where I can reach you, press 8 then 8 again and follow the prompts.”

Re-record your name in addition to using the out-ofoffice greeting.

When someone else in your organization, another subscriber, sends you a message, they do not hear your outof-office greeting. By re-recording your name to include information that you are out, this keeps your work associates informed as well. You might record something such as “Out

of office <your name>” or ”The vacationing <your name> returning on <day and date>.”

Try recording greetings and voice messages when your office is quiet.

Hold the telephone about 3-5 inches from your mouth.

Breathe before you begin recording and speak in a normal speaking voice. Test your greetings and recorded name to hear how you come across. Re-record until you are satisfied, and then save your best recordings. If your greetings or messages are long and complex, consider using a written script or outline.



Useful Hints

Using Shortcut Keys and Buttons

Type ahead key sequences for quick access.

Once you become familiar with the functions you use most often, you can quickly access them by entering the key sequences without waiting for the voice instructions. This is called typing ahead.

Press # for help at any time.

After you press #, Messaging Voice Mail stops what it is currently doing and plays the previous voice menu options.

Press * several times to exit Messaging Voice Mail before hanging up.

Doing this helps Messaging Voice Mail disconnect from the line, freeing the line more quickly for the next person. If you have deleted messages that you would like to retrieve, be sure to retrieve them before exiting. Deleted messages are not kept once you exit your mailbox.

Avoid pressing the Do Not Disturb (DND) button if your phone has one.

If your busy greeting is enabled and you press DND, your callers will hear that greeting which conveys the wrong impression.We recommend that you use the Messaging

Voice Mail call blocking

1

feature if you need to work without interruptions from outside callers. Otherwise, when you are unable to answer the phone, forward it to Messaging

Voice Mail or use the out-of-office greeting.
