Setting up an Automated Attendant

Overview
The Automated Attendant provides a convenient means of answering your company’s incoming telephone lines with a prerecorded greeting selected from the
Greeting Table, according to the time of day.
You can record and assign different greetings to the Greeting Tables. You can also specify which greeting plays for particular lines. For example, you can program the system so that callers hear one greeting when they call the sales line, and a different greeting when they call the customer support line.
After the greeting, the Automated Attendant Menu offers callers a range of options that they can select using the dialpad of their telephone. You can also customize this menu to provide a different selection of options for callers.
If you want to offer a greater range of options and services for incoming calls, you can assign a Custom Call Routing (CCR) menu instead of the Automated Attendant
Menu.

This chapter contains information and procedures on:
• recording your company Greetings
• setting up a Greeting Table
• assigning greetings to the table
• creating a custom menu
• adding an Alternate Language for your greetings
• assigning the Greeting Table Attendant
• assigning a Custom Call Routing menu

Other options available are explained elsewhere in this guide, such as changing the
Company Directory status for a mailbox and adding or changing a Caller ID (CLID)
Dialing Table.
Greeting Tables
The Greeting Tables store the recordings played by the Automated Attendant to incoming callers. Enterprise Edge Voice Messaging provides four Greeting
Tables numbered 1 to 4.
You can record a total of 40 Company Greetings, but only four greetings can be assigned a Greeting Table at any one time. You can assign the same four greetings to each table, or you can assign unique greetings to each table.

We recommend using greetings 1 through 16 as your daily business greetings, and greetings 17 through 40 as special greetings.
Each Greeting Table is divided into four sections, based on the time of day. The following shows the default times assigned to the sections.
Greeting type
Morning
Afternoon
Evening
Non-business
Default start times
12:00 am
12:00 pm
6:00 pm
6:00 pm
If default hours are used, the Non-business Greeting is not heard by the caller.
The Non-business Greeting can be turned on and off using the Business
Status feature.
Greeting Tables using the Alternate Language
If you use a Primary and an Alternate Language, we recommend that you assign one
Greeting Table to the Alternate Language. For example, if your company has two incoming lines and you want to assign a line to the Alternate Language, you must assign the line to a Greeting Table that has all the greetings recorded in the Alternate
Language. This means you can record greetings 5, 6, 7 and 8 in the Alternate
Language and assign the greetings to Greeting Table 2 for line 2.

34 Setting up an Automated Attendant
Company Greetings
Before you record your company Greetings, determine the type of greetings to be used on the different incoming telephone lines and what you want the greetings to say. You must prepare at least four greetings. As you record your greetings, number them from 1 to 4.
The four greetings reflect the Morning, Afternoon, Evening and Non-business hours. For example:
1) Morning Greeting: “Good morning. You have reached Touchstone
Marketing .”
2) Afternoon Greeting:
3) Evening Greeting:
4) Non-business Greeting:
“Good afternoon. You have reached Touchstone
Marketing .”
“ Good evening. You have reached Touchstone

“ You have reached Touchstone Marketing. Our business hours are Monday to Friday from 8:00 a.m. to
5:00 p.m. Please stay on the line and leave a message.
Thank you for calling .”
Greetings 1 through 4 are assigned by default to all Greeting Tables. This means that Greeting 1 is played as the Morning Greeting for Greeting Tables 1, 2, 3 and 4.
If you use only one Greeting Table, the numbered greetings you record from 1 to 4 play automatically. You do not have to assign Greetings 1 to 4 to the Table, but you must select the language preference.
If you use a Primary and Alternate Language, it is a good idea to record the option
· instruction in the Alternate Language. For example, if you use English as your
Primary Language and French as your Alternate Language, your main greeting is in
English and the option · instruction is in French. For example:
“Good morning. This is Touchstone Marketing. To use our voice messaging
service in French, press ·.”
Since the default Automated Attendant Menu prompt does not announce an
Alternate Language Option, your Greeting must instruct a caller to press · to use the Alternate Language.
Company Greetings can be 1 to 10 minutes in duration. If you need to change the greeting duration, you must change the Class of Service assigned to the System
Administrator Mailbox. For information on how to change the setting, refer to
Changing mailbox options on page 85.
After you determine what your Greetings are, practice recording them. Remember to speak slowly and clearly, at a pace that is easy to understand.

Programming which lines are answered by Enterprise Edge Voice
Messaging
Enterprise Edge Voice Messaging is able to answer all of your incoming lines, or just the lines you specify. Before Enterprise Edge Voice Messaging answers an incoming line, you must assign the line and set the Answer status to Yes. The maximum number of lines is 500.
You can assign Enterprise Edge Voice Messaging to answer incoming calls after a specified number of rings. The number of rings ranges from 0 (zero) to 12. If the number of rings is left at zero, Enterprise Edge Voice Messaging answers immediately.
For lines equipped with Caller ID (CLID), you must assign the number of rings to two or more. CLID is not provided until just prior to the second ring, so assigning the number of rings to zero or one prevents CLID from being relayed. Without
CLID, Personalized Greetings and other features related to CLID do not function.

A mailbox is a storage place for fax and voice messages on the Enterprise Edge
Voice Messaging system. This section contains information about creating and managing the different types of mailboxes. For information about fax, refer to the
Enterprise Edge 2.0 Voice Messaging FAX Set Up and Operation Guide and the
Enterprise Edge 2.0 Voice Messaging FAX User Guide.
Mailboxes are installed by enabling a Mailbox Software Keycode on the Enterprise
Edge server. The Mailbox Software Keycode limits the number of Subscriber mailboxes that can be added to Enterprise Edge Voice Messaging. For example, if you enable a 16 Mailbox Software Keycode, you can have a maximum of 16
Subscriber mailboxes on the Enterprise Edge server. If you need more than 16
Subscriber mailboxes, you must purchase another Mailbox Software Keycode. You can have a maximum of Subscriber 1,000 mailboxes on the Enterprise Edge server.
Types of mailboxes
Mailboxes are added in any combination of the following:
• Special Mailboxes, which include System Administrator and General Delivery
Mailboxes
• Personal Mailboxes, which include User and Guest Mailboxes
• Information Mailboxes
System Administrator Mailbox
The System Administrator Mailbox is created automatically when the Enterprise
Edge Voice Messaging system is installed for the first time. In order to use it, the mailbox must be initialized by changing the password and recording the name.
Until a mailbox is installed, it cannot receive voice messages and any calls that are directed to it are rerouted to the General Delivery Mailbox.
Only a person using the System Administrator mailbox and password has the ability to create, change, or delete the mailboxes. Administrative tasks are also performed using the System Administrator Mailbox.
For more information, refer to the following chapters:

54 Overview of Mailboxes
General Delivery Mailbox
The General Delivery Mailbox is created automatically when the Enterprise Edge
Voice Messaging system is initialized for the first time. This is the company mailbox and, like the System Administrator Mailbox, you initialize the General
Delivery Mailbox by changing the password and recording the name.
For more information, refer to
Special Mailboxes: General Delivery and System
User Mailboxes
The User Mailbox is the first of three types of mailboxes that can be created by the
System Administrator. It must be initialized by the mailbox owner before it can receive messages. The Create Mailbox Utility is useful if you need to create several
User Mailboxes with the same values. For more information, refer to Creating
Guest Mailboxes
The Guest Mailbox is the second type of mailbox that can be created by the System
Administrator. This type of mailbox is assigned to users who do not have an operating extension, but require a mailbox. It must be initialized by the mailbox
owner before it can receive messages. For more information, refer to Guest
Information Mailboxes
The Information Mailbox is the third type of mailbox that can be created by the
System Administrator. This mailbox plays an information message to callers. It must be initialized before it can play an information messages to callers. Callers cannot leave messages in an Information Mailbox. For more information, refer to
Information Mailboxes on page 83.
Tools and materials
Before you begin adding mailboxes, complete the Mailboxes section of the
Enterprise Edge 2.0 Voice Messaging Programming Record. This enables you to enter the values and become familiar with the task without having to stop and review each feature, especially when you are adding the first few mailboxes.

Definition
If a caller dials a set that has one or more alternate extensions, Enterprise Edge
Voice Messaging rings at all of the sets simultaneously. The first set to answer accepts the call. The other sets cannot access the line or use the Interrupt Feature
(Feature 987) to access the answered line.
Alternate extensions are available only on User mailboxes.
If you change a mailbox owner’s Personal Mailbox transfer option to Screened, the Call Screening feature lets the mailbox owner listen to a recording of the caller’s name before accepting the call.
A Class of Service defines the values for the special features of a Mailbox. When you set up a mailbox, you can assign several special features at once by assigning a Class of Service that provides an appropriate level of service for the user.
A mailbox cannot be added without a Class of Service.
The Company Directory is an internal voice list that contains the names of mailbox owners with initialized mailboxes who are designated to appear in the directory.
A Guest Mailbox is a type of Personal Mailbox assigned to people who do not have a permanent extension, but require a mailbox. These mailboxes receive and store messages the same way that User Mailboxes do.
An Information Mailbox plays an information message to callers. The
Information Mailbox does not have an extension associated with it. Callers cannot leave messages in an Information Mailbox.
A User Mailbox.
If a mailbox owner has a message, Message Waiting Notification displays
Message for you on the display of the mailbox owner’s telephone.
An Operator is the person whose extension rings when the caller is prompted by the Automated Attendant to “Press 0 for an operator”.
If the Operator is not available, calls transfer to the General Delivery Mailbox.
In the Class of Service, the Operator is also known as the Target Attendant.
The outdial route determines which line, line pool or route code the system uses for Off-premise Message Notification, Outbound Transfer or when a mailbox owner replies to a message left by an external caller.
Personal Mailboxes (shown on telephone display as subscriber)
- include both User Mailboxes and Guest Mailboxes
- are assigned by the System Administrator and maintained by the mailbox owner
- can be listed in the Company Directory under the mailbox owner’s name
- are protected by a password that can be changed by the mailbox owner, or reset to 0000 by the System Administrator if the password is forgotten.
When creating new mailboxes, the choices are Subscriber (which is a Guest or
User mailbox) or Information.
User Mailboxes store the messages for mailbox owners who are unable to answer their telephones.
User Mailboxes can be assigned to anyone who has an Enterprise Edge extension.

Explanation
The Target Attendant is assigned to answer a telephone when the caller reaches a mailbox and presses ‚ to speak with the Operator.
Call Record lets users record an active telephone call and put the message in their mailbox. Call Record is activated by pressing ƒ·°·.
Call Record is not enabled in any Class of Service because it is prohibited by law in some areas. If Call Record is legal in your area, use Enterprise Edge Voice
Applications Manager to customize a Class of Service to enable Call Record.

The Class of Service determines how the available message time is distributed among the mailboxes. The amount of time available to be distributed depends on the amount of message storage available on the Enterprise Edge Voice Messaging system. You can change the Class of Service values using Enterprise Edge Voice
Applications Manager.
Mailbox Overrides
Mailbox Overrides let you change these mailbox settings:
• Company Directory
• Alternate extensions
• Call Screening
• Message Waiting Notification
• Outdial route
Mailbox Overrides are not included in a Class of Service. When you add a mailbox, you can change these settings without changing the Class of Service.
Enterprise Edge 2.0 Voice Messaging Set Up and Operation Guide P0911620 Issue 02
Overview of Mailboxes 59
Company Directory
The Company Directory is an internal voice list that contains the names of mailbox owners with initialized mailboxes who are assigned to the directory.
When you register a mailbox you determine whether the mailbox appears in the
Company Directory. The Company Directory override can be changed at any time.
Company Directory options determine whether callers can search for names by last name, first name, or first and last names. For example, if a caller enters James, both mailbox owner names Jesse James and James Bond come up if the Company
Directory options are set for both first and last names.
The Company Directory option default is Yes. If you set the Company Directory option is set to No, a mailbox owner’s name is not included in the Company
Directory and a mailbox owner cannot be selected from the Company Directory.
Even if a mailbox is not included in the Company Directory, the mailbox owner must record their name when they initialize their mailbox.
Alternate extensions
Up to two Alternate extensions can be assigned to each User Mailbox. If a caller dials the main extension (the extension that has Alternate extensions assigned), the call rings at the main extension only. The exception to this is when Alternate extensions are assigned an Answer extension for the main extension. For more information about Answer Extension Numbers, refer to the Enterprise Edge 2.0
Installation and Maintenance Guide included with Enterprise Edge.
When a caller leaves a message, a message waiting indicator appears at the main extension and at the Alternate extension(s). Mailbox owners can access the message from the Alternate extension(s) with Feature 981, the same way they access messages from their main extension telephone.
If an Alternate extension is assigned to a telephone that has Caller ID and if Display
Caller is enabled, Caller ID information is displayed and an audible tone occurs at all telephones when the call proceeds to Enterprise Edge Voice Messaging. The message can be intercepted using Feature 987, the Interrupt feature, at the Alternate extension as long as the caller is still leaving a message.
Only extensions that do not have a mailbox assigned can be used as an Alternate extension.
There are no default Alternate extensions programmed for User Mailboxes.
P0911620 Issue 02 Enterprise Edge 2.0 Voice Messaging Set Up and Operation Guide
60 Overview of Mailboxes
Express Messaging Line
When you create a Subscriber Mailbox, you can assign an Express Messaging Line to it. When you create the Subscriber Mailbox, instead of assigning an extension number to it, assign an Express Messaging Line. If you assign an Express
Messaging Line, fax and voice calls are left in the Subscriber Mailbox without ringing at the set. When Message for you appears on the telephone display, the user can open their mailbox and access their voice and fax messages.
If the user has FAX enabled, they can tell people that the Express Messaging Line number is their fax number and they can have it printed on their business cards.
The line used you use for Express Messaging must be between 1 and 500. Give the corresponding seven digit phone number associated with the line you assign as the
Express Messaging Line to the user. For example, if line 20 is the Express
Messaging Line and the corresponding phone number is 555-2424, give this phone number to the user. After you assign a line to a mailbox, you cannot assign the line to another function until you remove it from the mailbox.
The prime set for the Express Messaging Line must be set to the Voice Messaging
DN. For more information see "Line Access" in the Enterprise Edge 2.0
Programming Operations Guide.
The Express Messaging default is none. Users must have FAX enabled to receive fax messages on the Express Messaging Line.
Call Screening
Call Screening lets mailbox owners determine who is calling before they accept a call. Call Screening is useful if there is no Caller ID available. Enterprise Edge
Voice Messaging records the caller’s name, calls the mailbox owner’s telephone, announces the name of the caller and offers options such as accept the call or take a message.
Call Screening applies to external calls dialed by callers using the extension dialing facilities of the Auto Attendant or Custom Call Routing (CCR). Call Screening does not apply to internal calls, or external calls routed using a CCR Transfer node or placed to the mailbox owner’s dedicated line. If a caller is calling from a line for which the mailbox owner has recorded a Personalized Greeting, Call Screening is bypassed and the call is transfers without delay.
If Call Screening is enabled, Enterprise Edge Voice Messaging still calls a mailbox owner’s telephone that is call forwarded.
The default for Call Screening is No, which means that mailbox owners cannot determine who is calling before they answer the call.
Message Waiting Notification
Message Waiting Notification provides the user with a visual indication on the telephone display that one or more new messages are waiting to be heard.
Enterprise Edge 2.0 Voice Messaging Set Up and Operation Guide P0911620 Issue 02
Overview of Mailboxes 61
The default value for Message Waiting Notification is Yes. This means that
Enterprise Edge Voice Messaging leaves a Message for you notification on a
Enterprise Edge telephone display. If the Message Waiting Notification is changed to No, Enterprise Edge Voice Messaging does not leave a Message for you notification.
When you add Guest Mailboxes, you must set the Message Waiting Notification to
No. These mailboxes do not have an operating Enterprise Edge extension. If you add a Guest Mailbox to a single-line telephone, you must set the Message
Notification to No at the Enterprise Edge ATA 2. Single-line telephones do not have a display.
Outdial route
The Outdial route determines which line, line pool or route code the system uses when a mailbox owner wishes to reply to a message left by an external caller, and when Off-premise Message Notification and Outbound Transfer are used.
The default for Outdial route is None. Until you assign a line, line pool or route code as the Outdial route for a mailbox, the mailbox owner can use the Reply Feature to reply to calls from internal extensions only, Off-premise Message Notification for internal extensions only and Outbound Transfer for internal extensions only.
For more information on line pools and route codes, refer to the Enterprise Edge
2.0 Programming Operations Guide.
Dialing restrictions
Dialing restrictions can be applied to an Enterprise Edge telephone and the extensions connected to Enterprise Edge Voice Messaging. If you wish to restrict outdialing of certain phone numbers, you must do one of the following:
• Through Enterprise Edge programming, assign the dialing restrictions to the
Enterprise Edge extension numbers to which Enterprise Edge Voice Messaging is connected. This restricts all outdialing calls including external transfers from
CCR trees, Off-premise Message Notification and Outbound Transfers. When assigning an Outdial route, all dialing is done by the set to which Enterprise
Edge Voice Messaging is connected, not by the Enterprise Edge telephone.
Refer to your Enterprise Edge System documentation for additional information.
• Through Enterprise Edge programming, assign the dialing restrictions to the set of the user. Refer to your Enterprise Edge System documentation for additional information.
• Through Enterprise Edge programming, assign the dialing restrictions to the
Enterprise Edge line(s) being used for outdialing. Refer to your Enterprise Edge
System documentation for additional information.
• Through Mailbox Admin, ensure Outdial is set to NONE. This restricts outdialing calls from the mailbox.

Enterprise Edge Voice Messaging. For more information about mailbox passwords, refer to
About mailbox passwords on page 88.
P0911620 Issue 02 Enterprise Edge 2.0 Voice Messaging Set Up and Operation Guide
64 Special Mailboxes: General Delivery and System Administrator
System Administrator Mailbox
The System Administrator Mailbox is reserved for the System Administrator. You can use it to send Broadcast Messages to all User Mailboxes.
Only you, as System Administrator, are able to access the System Administrator mailbox. Remember to check for messages sent to this mailbox.
You must initialize the System Administrator Mailbox before you can use it. For instructions on how to initialize the System Administrator Mailbox see
Initializing the mailboxes on page 65.
The mailbox numbers used in this guide for the Special Mailboxes are the
Enterprise Edge Voice Messaging default mailbox numbers based on a two digit extension length. The mailbox number length is determined in the initial system setup. Mailbox numbers can be between two and seven digits. For information about the System Administrator mailbox number see
Special Mailbox numbers on page 65.
General Delivery Mailbox
The General Delivery Mailbox is your company mailbox. Messages can be left here for:
• employees who do not have their own mailbox
• no specific person
To ensure confidentiality, make sure that only you, the Receptionist, or a designated
Operator has the password for this mailbox.
The General Delivery Mailbox stores messages from callers when the Operator is not available or from callers using a rotary dial telephone. The General Delivery
Mailbox has a default greeting, but you can replace this greeting with one you
record. For more information, refer to Recording the mailbox greeting on page 68
in this section.
Messages left in the General Delivery Mailbox must be forwarded to the appropriate person. Only you, the Receptionist or a designated Operator can access the messages in the General Delivery Mailbox.
We recommend assigning the General Delivery Mailbox number to the designated
Operator. For more information, refer to Setting up the Operator’s Mailbox on page
91. For information on the General Delivery Mailbox number refer to Special
You can disable the General Delivery Mailbox if your company does not require the
service of this mailbox. For more information, refer to Enabling and disabling the

To open a Special Mailbox, you must enter the mailbox number and the Special
Mailbox password. The default System Administrator Mailbox number is 12 and the default General Delivery Mailbox number is 10. The default password for both mailboxes is 0000.
Initializing the mailboxes
Before any Enterprise Edge Voice Messaging mailbox can be used, it must be initialized. The steps for initializing Special Mailboxes and Personal Mailboxes are the same. Initializing a mailbox involves:
• changing the default password
• recording the mailbox name in the Company Directory
P0911620 Issue 02 Enterprise Edge 2.0 Voice Messaging Set Up and Operation Guide
66 Special Mailboxes: General Delivery and System Administrator
Record a mailbox greeting as soon as possible after initialization.
The General Delivery Mailbox can receive messages before it is initialized, but it must be initialized before you can retrieve any messages from it.
Before you initialize a mailbox, decide what password you want to use to open the mailbox. Passwords must be four to eight digits long and cannot start with zero.
Write the passwords down and keep them in a safe place. Give the General Delivery
Mailbox password to your Receptionist or designated Operator.
Recording the mailbox in the Company Directory
The Company Directory stores a list of mailbox owners in your company. Before a mailbox can receive messages, the mailbox owner’s name must be recorded in the
Company Directory. Whether a mailbox appears in the Company Directory is determined by the Company Directory override that you establish.

Overview
This chapter contains information on how to create the different types of mailboxes.
Tools and materials
Before you begin to create mailboxes, complete the Mailboxes section of the
Enterprise Edge 2.0 Voice Messaging Programming Record.
User Mailboxes
Mailboxes are installed by enabling a Mailbox Software Keycode on the Enterprise
Edge server. The Mailbox Software Keycode limits the number of Subscriber mailboxes that you can add to Enterprise Edge Voice Messaging. For example, if you enable a 16 Mailbox Security Keycode, you can have a maximum of 16
Subscriber mailboxes on the Enterprise Edge server. If you need more than 16
Subscriber mailboxes, you must purchase another Mailbox Security Keycode. You can have a maximum of 1,000 mailboxes on the Enterprise Edge server.
You can add new mailboxes to Enterprise Edge Voice Messaging whenever they are required. You cannot add more mailboxes than the number of mailboxes installed on the Enterprise Edge server. Before you add a new mailbox, ensure that you have all the necessary mailbox information. Complete Mailboxes in the
Enterprise Edge Voice Messaging Programming Record, outlining the:
• mailbox number
• extension
• Class of Service
• mailbox owner’s name (last name and first name or initial)
• mailbox type
• Company Directory, Message Waiting, and Outdial Overrides
• Alternate extensions (for User Mailboxes only)
• Express Messaging Line number
When adding Information Mailboxes, assign a Class of Service that has the maximum message length. To accommodate an average Information Mailbox message, assign a Class of Service of either 7 or 8. These Class of Service values have a message length of 10 minutes.

Creating Mailboxes 79
Adding multiple mailboxes
You can save time by creating multiple mailboxes when you set up Enterprise Edge
Voice Messaging for the first time or add a large number of telephone users to your system. Adding many mailboxes creates Subscriber mailboxes for the range of extensions that you define. You must use extensions that are not already assigned to mailboxes. Before you create multiple mailboxes, use telephony administration to define the new extensions and assign user names to the extensions.
To make the most effective use of adding multiple mailboxes, identify the users who need a non-standard Subscriber mailbox. Create these mailboxes individually.
After you finish, add multiple mailboxes for the remaining Subscriber mailboxes.
The mailboxes have the following characteristics:
• the Mailbox number is the same as the extension
• Class of Service the same for all mailboxes
• Call screening default is blind (off)
• the mailbox name is taken from the Enterprise Edge extension programming, if it is complete
• Message Waiting notification is enabled
• the Outdial route is the same for all mailboxes
The mailboxes created are uninitialized and ready for initialization by the individual mailbox owners.
A Subscriber mailbox is not created if:
• a mailbox of the same number already exists
• the extension is used by another mailbox
• the extension is identified as a Enterprise Edge Voice Messaging voice extension
To add multiple mailboxes:
1. Click the Mailbox menu and then click Add many.
The Add Many Mailboxes dialog box appears.
2. In the From Extension box, type the extension you want to start creating mailboxes from.
3. In the To Extension box, type the extension you want to stop creating mailboxes at.
4. In the COS list box, select a Class of Service.

5. At the Outdial option, click Line and type the specific outgoing line you want to assign for outdialing or click Pool and type the Line Pool number you want to assign for outdialing or click Route to assign a route code for outdialing or click None if you do not want to assign outdialing capabilities.
6. At the Options option, select the Directory check box if you want the mailbox owner’s name to play in the Company Directory.
7. Select the Msg Waiting check box if you want Message Notification to appear on the mailbox owner’s telephone display.
8. Select the Call Screening check box to assign screened transfers to the mailbox owner. Clear the Call Screening check box to assign blind transfers to the mailbox owner.
9. Click the OK button.
Guest Mailboxes
Assign Guest Mailboxes to users who do not have an operating Enterprise Edge extension, but require a mailbox. These mailboxes receive and store messages just as the User Mailboxes do.
When you create Guest Mailboxes, use mailbox numbers that begin with the same digit. This identifies the mailbox type. Use a digit that is different than the User
Mailbox numbers. For example, if the User Mailbox numbers start with two, the
Guest Mailboxes can start with four.
When to use Guest Mailboxes
Guest Mailboxes can provide a temporary employee or a with Enterprise Edge
Voice Messaging services, or give clients access to internal messaging and call routing. Guest Mailboxes with Outbound Transfer enabled are ideal for telecommuters. Guest Mailboxes can also be used to allow customers to make telephone orders.
Depending on your business, you can use Guest Mailboxes for:
• personal catalog shopping orders
• listing classes or seminars and providing callers with the ability to register by telephone
• providing frequent customers access to Enterprise Edge Voice Messaging services
The following example suggests how you can set up a Guest Mailbox for an announcement and order-taking capability. When you provide services that allow a customer to call into a mailbox, you record the mailbox number in the Company
Greeting. This allows a caller to transfer directly to the mailbox.
Enterprise Edge 2.0 Voice Messaging Set Up and Operation Guide P0911620 Issue 02
Creating Mailboxes 81
Example 1 - Announcing courses and seminars (telephone registration)
To use a Guest Mailbox to provide telephone registration, you must first determine a mailbox number. The Guest mailbox number you assign does not have a working
Enterprise Edge extension. Next, you must determine what the Mailbox Greeting says. For example:
“This month we are pleased to provide the following courses: Jazz Dancing Made
Easy, Intermediate Jazz Dancing, Warming Up for that Big Performance, and
Beginners’ Ballet. If you are interested in any of these courses, leave your name and phone number after the tone. One of our instructors will contact you with more information.”
You can even include the time and date the classes are offered. This example is applicable to Guest Mailboxes that are used for taking orders.
After you determine what the announcement says, record a Company Greeting to inform callers this mailbox is available. For example:
“Good Morning. This is On Your Toes Dance School. To reach the dance studio,
press ›fl. To register for our fall classes, press ¤°. To reach our
receptionist, press ‚.”
Note: The number 46 in this example is an operating Enterprise Edge extension and the number 28 is the Guest Mailbox.
The leading digit of Guest Mailbox numbers must be different from the leading digit of the extensions. If you must use the same leading digit, ensure the Guest
Mailbox numbers are “out-of-range” extensions. To test if an extension is out-ofrange, dial it from another extension. If the number is out-of-range, the display show s Invalid number. If the number is not out-of-range, the display shows Not in service.
You must assign a Class of Service. When you assign a Class of Service for a Guest
Mailbox that is used as an order mailbox, choose a Class of Service that has the
maximum mailbox greeting recording and message time available. Refer to Class of Service on page 56.

Information Mailboxes
Information Mailboxes play information messages to callers. Information
Mailboxes do not take messages and do not have operating extensions.
Information Mailboxes are initialized by you, and are maintained either by you or an Enterprise Edge Voice Messaging mailbox owner. You can add Information
Mailboxes whenever one is needed.
When to use Information Mailboxes
Information Mailboxes can be used to:
• announce sales
• provide product lists
• announce special events
A caller disconnects automatically after listening to an Information Mailbox.
Information Mailbox Greetings can be recorded by you or by the user who has the
Information Mailbox. For more information about recording Information
Greetings, refer to the Enterprise Edge 2.0 Voice Messaging Reference Guide.
You must make sure the Information Mailboxes are accessible to outside callers.
You can make callers aware of your company’s Information Mailboxes if you:
• Advertise the Automated Attendant main number and record a Company
Greeting that informs the caller of the Information Mailbox services. You can also provide a list of your company’s Information Mailboxes in brochures and telephone directory advertising.
• Record Information Mailboxes in the Company Greeting if your company has a small number of Information Mailboxes, such as three or four. Use Custom
Call Routing (CCR) if you have a large number of mailboxes.
• Assign the Operator as the Transfer node for all Information Mailbox inquiries.
Record a statement in the Company Greeting that tells a caller to press zero to reach company information. For example:
“Good Afternoon. This is On Your Toes Dance Studio. To reach our studio,
press ›fl. To listen to one of our special announcements, press ‚ to reach the Operator.”
• When a caller presses zero, the Operator provides a list of the Information
Mailboxes and transfers the caller accordingly.

Mailbox Administration Tasks
Overview
This chapter describes the steps for administering Enterprise Edge Voice
Messaging mailboxes, including:
10
• Special Mailboxes (System Administrator Mailbox and General Delivery
Mailbox)
• Personal Mailboxes (User and Guest)
• Information Mailboxes
Administering Special Mailboxes
Special Mailbox administration involves listening to messages, attending to each message, and then deleting the message. Attend every day to messages left in the
Special Mailboxes.
There are two Special Mailboxes: System Administrator and General Delivery. You can use the following features for both types.
When a message is left in the System Administrator Mailbox, you can respond to the message in your role as System Administrator.
When a message is left in the General Delivery Mailbox for a mailbox owner, you can send the message from the General Delivery Mailbox to the owner’s mailbox, if they have one.
Administering Personal Mailboxes
A Personal Mailbox is administered mainly by the mailbox owner and requires very little administration from you.
The Personal Mailbox administration tasks that you perform include changing mailbox options such as:
• resetting a password to 0000 if a mailbox owner forgets their password
• mailbox extension
• Class of Service
• mailbox owner’s name
• mailbox overrides, including Alternate extensions (User Mailboxes only), Fax line number (User mailboxes only on systems with FAX enabled) and status of the Call Screening feature.
System Administrator tasks also include adding or deleting Personal Mailboxes.
For information about adding mailboxes, refer to
User Mailboxes on page 77, and
Adding multiple mailboxes on page 79.
For more information about Personal Mailbox Options and administration see the
Enterprise Edge 2.0 Voice Messaging Reference Guide.

88 Mailbox Administration Tasks
About mailbox passwords
Each mailbox certified with Enterprise Edge Voice Messaging is protected by a password established by the mailbox owner. When you add a mailbox to Enterprise
Edge Voice Messaging, the password 0000 is assigned automatically. This is the default password.
To use a mailbox, a mailbox owner must change the default password. The new password must be four to eight digits in length and cannot start with zero.
If a mailbox owner cannot remember their password, you can reset the password to
the default password 0000. Refer to Changing mailbox options on page 85.
Caution : Change your System Administrator password frequently to minimize the risk of unauthorized activity.
Incorrect password lock-out
In its Class of Service each mailbox is assigned a maximum number of incorrect password attempts. Enterprise Edge Voice Messaging records the number of incorrect attempts since the last time the mailbox was accessed successfully. If the number is of attempts is exceeded, the mailbox owner is “locked-out”. The mailbox
cannot be opened again until the password is reset. Refer to Changing mailbox options on page 85.
Password expiry
In its Class of Service each mailbox is assigned the maximum number of days its password remains active. When the maximum number of days is exceeded the mailbox password expires. The mailbox owner can open the mailbox but cannot access messages or perform other mailbox functions until the password is changed.
Unless the telephone has a two line display, the following voice announcement is played when the mailbox is opened after the password expires:
“Your current password has expired. You must change your password.
Please enter your new password, then press £.”
After the new password is entered the mailbox returns to normal operation.
Caution : Set the Class of Service password expiry to a low value so that mailbox owners must change their password often. Mailboxes with a Class of
Service value that has a high or indefinite password expiry interval setting have an increased likelihood of unauthorized use of the Enterprise Edge Voice
Messaging system.

Broadcast and Group messages
Apart from the day-to-day messages you send, there can be times when you need to send a Broadcast Message to all mailbox owners, or a Group Message to a designated group of mailboxes.
This section describes how to:
• send a Broadcast Message
• create or delete a Group List
• change the members of a Group List
• view the members of a Group List
• send a Group Message
Sending Broadcast Messages
A Broadcast Message sends the same message is delivered to each mailbox, and eliminates recording and sending the same message several times. Broadcast
Messages can be sent to announce meetings, special company events, and reminders.
Only you, as System Administrator, can send Broadcast Messages. You send a
Broadcast Message by entering ƒ·°⁄, logging on and pressing ·.

List contains all the mailbox numbers that receive a group message. For example, you can group all mailboxes from the accounting department into a Group List, and all the mailboxes from the shipping department into another Group List.
A Group List can include only mailbox numbers. A Group List cannot include the number of another Group List.
The Group List feature is enabled during installation.

Mailbox Administration Tasks 93
Preparing a Group List
Preparing a Group List is similar to setting up a new mailbox. You assign a number and a name to a Group List. The leading digit for Group Lists is 9. You can change the Group List leading digit at any time, if necessary. The next two digits are assigned automatically by Enterprise Edge Voice Messaging when you add the
Group List. The Group List numbers are assigned in sequential order. You must assign the Group List name. For information about Fax Group Lists, refer to
Enterprise Edge 2.0 Voice Messaging FAX Set Up and Operation Guide .
Enterprise Edge Voice Messaging allows 99 Group Lists. Each Group List can contain a maximum of 1,000 mailboxes. Before you begin to add Group Lists, you must prepare a group mailbox member list. Ensure that this list contains:
•
leading digit – (see Group List Numbers on page 93)
• Group List name – maximum 16 characters long
• mailbox numbers – to be included in the group
A mailbox must be initialized before it can be added to a Group List.
After you establish a Group List, you can change the mailboxes included in the list, record a new list name, view the Group List, or delete the Group List.
Group List Numbers
The number 9 is assigned as the default Group List leading digit. For example, the default Group List numbers are 901 to 999. If the leading digit is 5, the Group List numbers are 501 to 599. The Group List numbers are always three digits long.
You can change the Group List leading digit if necessary. For more information on
changing the Group List leading digit, refer to Changing the Group List leading digit on page 95.
The Group List number acts like a mailbox number when you leave a message for

This chapter contains general information about Custom Call Routing (CCR) that prepares you, the System Administrator, for the subsequent chapters on building, changing and deleting a CCR Tree. This chapter contains:
• an overview of how CCR works
• terms and definitions
• examples
• planning and designing a CCR Tree
How CCR works
After you assign a CCR Tree, callers hear the CCR Home voice prompt immediately after the Company Greeting instead of the Automated Attendant.
Custom Call Routing (CCR) offers callers a more sophisticated menu and a wider range of options than the Automated Attendant menus.
A caller navigates through CCR using their telephone dialpad. By selecting an option from the prompts that you create, callers can:
• play an information message
• leave a message in a mailbox
• transfer to an extension or an external number
• access another menu
Note: Set up mailboxes and Greeting Tables before designing and building the
CCR Tree.

When you build a CCR Tree, you start by programming the options in the Home node. If the Home node is a menu, up to eight options can be included.
You record a voice prompt or import a voice file that informs callers of the Home node menu options.
When a caller makes a selection from the Home node menu (by pressing a single button) the caller can access an information message, mailbox, transfer, or another menu below the Home node menu.
If the Home node is an Information node, the caller disconnects after the
Information Message plays.
As System Administrator, you can program up to eight CCR Trees. After you program a CCR Tree, you must assign the Tree to a Greeting Table. For more
information, refer to Greeting Tables on page 32.

Node associated with the first CCR Tree recording the caller hears after they hear the company greeting. The Home node appears below the tree icon. A Home node can be either a Menu node or an Information node in the CCR Tree.
Indicates the type of node including Menu, Transfer, Mailbox, and
Information. There are also icons for a warning or an error if the node is incomplete or in error.
Provides a caller with information about goods or services available from your company. An Information Mailbox lets an end-user department keep the information current by logging on and changing the Information Mailbox greeting.
Does not have a mailbox allocation and is changed only in Enterprise
Edge Voice Applications Manager. To callers, an Information node is the same as an Information Mailbox.
Lets a caller access a mailbox. Callers who select a Mailbox node transfer to a mailbox to leave a message or listen to an Information
Mailbox. An Information Mailbox node plays a prompt to the caller.
Note that a Mailbox node refers to a Mailbox but does not set up the mailbox. Set up mailboxes before you design and build a CCR Tree.
A voice prompt you record that provides a caller with a menu of up to eight options.
A voice prompt you record that provides a caller with a list of up to eight options. Use a Menu node to create another level of tree depth in the tree.
Determines where the call is directed after the caller listens to an
Information message or uses a mailbox. The three possibilities for Next
Action are:
- Previous: returns the caller to the previous menu
- Home: returns the caller to the Home node
- Disconnect: disconnects the call
You can assign Next Actions only to Information nodes and Mailboxes.
There are several types of nodes. There are Root nodes, Menu nodes and leaf nodes. A Root node is the beginning of a CCR Tree to which a
Home node is added. Menu nodes can support other Menu nodes and leaf nodes. Leaf nodes cannot support Menu nodes. A total of eight subnodes can be added to a Menu node. A sub-node belongs to a Menu node and can include Menu nodes or leaf nodes.
The beginning of a CCR Tree, represented by a tree icon. A new Tree consists only of the Root node until you create a Home node.

106 Overview of Custom Call Routing
Planning and designing a CCR Tree
Planning and designing a CCR Tree involves:
• determining frequently requested departments
• determining frequently called extensions
• making a list of goods and services to be promoted in Information messages
• selecting mailboxes to be assigned to Mailbox nodes
• determining Next Actions
• designing the CCR Tree template in the Enterprise Edge 2.0 Voice Messaging
Programming Record. Photocopy this record and use the photocopy as an outline as you proceed through this section.
• recording the prompts and messages
By default, a caller can press · to hear prompts in the Alternate Language, or ‚ to reach an Operator. Record the options as part of the Home node menu voice prompt so that the caller is aware of these options.
About the CCR Tree structure
After the Company Greeting, a caller hears the Home voice prompt at the top of the
CCR Tree. You create the Home node by adding a node to the Root node. The Root node appears as a tree icon in the CCR x - Editor window.
When the Home node is an Menu node
You can set up a CCR Tree so that callers who select an option from the Home node menu can access another menu, leave a message, transfer to an extension or an external number, or listen to an Information Mailbox message.
Enterprise Edge 2.0 Voice Messaging Set Up and Operation Guide P0911620 Issue 02
Overview of Custom Call Routing 107
When the Home node is an Information node
You can set up the Home node to play an Information message. For example:
“Come celebrate with us! It’s time for the Ideal Office Machines annual get-toknow-our-customers picnic. The annual picnic is on the first Sunday in August from 1:00 to 5:00 p.m. in Central Park. See you there.”
If the Home node is an Information node, the caller disconnects automatically at the end of the message. The other Next Action types do not apply.
Recording an Alternate Language Home node menu voice prompt
If you record an Alternate Language Home node menu voice prompt, you must inform callers of the Alternate Language option. When you record the Primary
Language Home node menu prompt, speak in the Alternate Language and tell the caller to press · if they wish to hear the message in the Alternate Language.
Mention that they can press ‚ to transfer to the attendant. For example:
“To hear this message in (the Alternate Language), press · . To place an order, press ⁄ . To add your name to our mailing list, press ¤. To reach our sales
department, press ‹. To speak with our Customer Service Representative,
press ›. To speak with our attendant, press ‚.”
Menu sub-node
A menu sub-node includes a voice prompt you record to provide a caller with another list of options. A menu sub-node is created by adding a Menu node to a
Menu node. A menu sub-node is assigned a single-digit number that appears in a menu. A total of eight sub-nodes can be added to a Menu node. For example, from the Home node menu, the caller presses ‹ to reach the Sales department and hears the sub-node options:
“To place an order, press ⁄. To add your name to our mailing list, press ¤. To
speak with our Customer Service Representative, press ‹. To speak with our
attendant, press ‚.”
Information node
An Information node accompanies a message you record to provide a caller with information about goods or services available from your company. This message can provide callers with information about sales, specials, company events, business hours, price lists, shipping times or even the weather. An Information node is assigned a single-digit number that is announced in a menu (unless the
Information node is the Home node). When callers press this number, the
Information message plays automatically. For example:
“We are pleased to announce the arrival of the new FaxEasy line of FAX machines.
FaxEasy produces top quality FAX images at an affordable price, and is easy to operate.”
P0911620 Issue 02 Enterprise Edge 2.0 Voice Messaging Set Up and Operation Guide
108 Overview of Custom Call Routing
Leave Message
The Leave Message option lets a caller access a mailbox to leave a message. The
Leave Message option is assigned a single-digit number that is announced in a menu. When callers press this number, the caller transfers automatically to a mailbox to leave a message. An example of a Mailbox Greeting is:
“You have reached the Ideal Office Machines Order Desk mailbox. After the tone, please leave your name, address, phone number, and the item name and number you want to order. Thank you.”
Transfer
A Transfer option lets a caller transfer to an extension or an external number. A
Transfer option is assigned a single-digit number that appears in a menu. When a caller presses this number, the caller transfers automatically to an extension or external number.
Next Action
Next Action determines the destination the caller is sent to after they listen to an
Information message or leave a message in a mailbox. The three options for Next
Action are:
• Previous: returns the caller to the previous menu
• Home: returns the caller to the Home node
• Disconnect: disconnects the call

Overview
This chapter contains the instructions needed to create, save and assign a CCR Tree.
The specific topics in this chapter include:
• Beginning to build a new Tree
• Recording the Home node voice prompt
• Adding a Menu sub-node
• Adding an Information node
• Adding a Mailbox node
• Adding an internal Transfer node
• Adding an external Transfer node
• Saving a CCR Tree

• Testing a CCR Tree
Tools and materials
To have a clear record of the CCR Tree you intend to create, first complete the appropriate section of the Enterprise Edge Voice Messaging Programming Record and have it handy during the programming.
Beginning a new CCR Tree and recording the Home node voice prompt
After you design your CCR Tree, the first step is to create a new Tree, then create a Home node (either a Menu node or an Information node). If the Home node is a
Menu node, you can record the Home node voice prompt and then add:
• a Menu sub-node
• an Information node
• a Mailbox node
• a Transfer node
If the Home node is an Information node, you can record a voice prompt.
After you complete these steps, you must save the Tree. You must complete and save the CCR Tree before you can assign it.
When you start to build a CCR Tree, you can save the Tree at any time and continue
working on it later. For more information about saving a Tree, refer to Saving a
P0911620 Issue 02 Enterprise Edge 2.0 Voice Messaging Set Up and Operation Guide
110 Building, saving, and assigning a CCR Tree
Beginning to build a new Tree
Beginning to build a new Tree is as simple as clicking the CCR menu, clicking
New, and creating a Home node. From this node you can build a new CCR Tree.
To begin to build a new Tree and record the Home node voice prompt:
1. Click the CCR menu and then click New.
The Tree - CCR Editor window, or Tree view, appears.
The newly created Tree shows only the Root node which is labeled Tree. The
Root node is highlighted. To continue to build the Tree, you must add a Menu node or an Information node.
2. Click the Node menu and point to Add.
A list appears with the following available options: Menu and Information.
Note: After you select Information, you cannot add Sub-nodes later. After you select Menu, you can set up the CCR Tree so the caller can access more than one option.
3. Click Menu or Information.
4. Double-click the new Home node.
The Properties - Menu Node or the Properties - Info Node dialog box appears with the updated Tree view behind it.
5. In the Caption box, type a caption name, such as List of options, if the Home node is a menu.

Enterprise Edge 2.0 Voice Messaging Set Up and Operation Guide P0911620 Issue 02
Building, saving, and assigning a CCR Tree 111
Adding a sub-node to a Menu node
After you create a CCR Tree, the first step in building the Tree is to assign options to the Home node menu. If there are more choices than fit conveniently in the Home node menu, you can create one or more sub-node menus. Add a Menu node to your
Home node menu.
Remember that if the Home node is an Information node, you cannot add a subnode and the call disconnects automatically after the message plays.
After you determine how many options you want to offer in a menu, you must determine where the option directs the caller.
After you assign a Menu sub-node, you must next assign another set of options in the next level of tree depth. Options for each menu can be another Menu, an
Information Mailbox, a Transfer, or a Leave Message option. You can assign up to eight options to each menu.
The Menu sub-node gives callers single-digit access to another list of options. If your Tree is designed to progress to a second level, you must add a Menu sub-node on the first level to inform the caller of further options. For example, if your Home node menu says:
“To place an order, press ⁄. To add your name to our mailing list, press ¤. To
reach our sales department, press ‹. To speak with our attendant, press ‚.”
The caller can to press ⁄ and hear more options, such as:
“To hear our weekly specials, press ⁄. To speak with a clerk at the Order Desk,
press ¤.”

Adding a Transfer to an external number
When Enterprise Edge Voice Messaging transfers a call using a CCR external transfer, two lines are used. An incoming line connects the caller to the CCR Tree and an outgoing line transfers the caller to the external telephone number. Both lines are used while the user connects to the external telephone number.
To optimize using Enterprise Edge Voice Messaging lines, the incoming line can be used to make the external transfer. This type of transfer is called a Link transfer.
Note: A Link transfer can be performed only if the Enterprise Edge Voice
Messaging lines are equipped with Link transfer capability. If a Link transfer is programmed for an external transfer and your Enterprise Edge
Voice Messaging lines do not support this feature, the call disconnects.
Ensure you have Link transfer capabilities on your Central Office (CO) lines before programming this feature.

Overview
This chapter on Enterprise Edge Voice Messaging troubleshooting is divided into the following sections:
• system trouble
• operating trouble
• Custom Call Routing (CCR) trouble
System trouble
System trouble is defined as problems that occur to more than one mailbox owner and to both internal and external callers.
Automated Attendant does not answer calls
1. Verify that you have assigned the lines to the Greeting Table, and the line is designated as Yes. This means that Enterprise Edge Voice Messaging is set to answer the line.
2. Possibly all the Enterprise Edge Voice Messaging channels are busy. Try calling back. Your call is answered when a channel is available.
3. Verify that greetings 1 to 4 are recorded. These greetings default to the
Greeting Tables and must be recorded for the Automated Attendant to operate.
Refer to Setting up an Automated Attendant on page 31.
4. If the Enterprise Edge Voice Messaging channels are frequently busy, it indicates there is too much activity. Contact your advice line or sales representative.
Call display information is lost
The Automated Attendant must be set to answer after two or more rings for
Enterprise Edge Voice Messaging to record call log information for an incoming call. For information about setting the number of rings, refer to
P0911620 Issue 02 Enterprise Edge 2.0 Voice Messaging Set Up and Operation Guide
132 Enterprise Edge Voice Messaging Troubleshooting
The Automated Attendant transfers some callers to the General Delivery Mailbox
Enterprise Edge Voice Messaging requires a touch tone phone signal and a minimum voice level. Enterprise Edge Voice Messaging waits for a caller to respond. If a response is not received, the caller transfers to the Receptionist or designated Operator. If they are not available, the caller automatically transfers to the General Delivery Mailbox. The caller also transfers to the General Delivery
Mailbox if an extension does not have a mailbox.
For Enterprise Edge Voice Messaging to transfer calls correctly, each mailbox must have a unique extension. To verify that all mailboxes have a unique extension, print the Directory Report (Report 1).
Greetings are played at the wrong time of day
There are three possible causes for this problem:
1. The Business Open Status is set to No. Change the Business Open Status to
Yes. Refer to
Setting the Operator Status on page 45.
2. The wrong greeting numbers are assigned to the Greeting Table.
3. The business hours are set incorrectly.
Greetings are played on the wrong line
To verify the line information is correct, refer to the Enterprise Edge 2.0 Voice
Messaging Programming Record. If you find the information is incorrect, you must
A telephone cannot be forwarded to Enterprise Edge Voice Messaging
If you forward your incoming calls to Enterprise Edge Voice Messaging and the display shows: Forward denied, possibly you are forwarding to the wrong extension. Use feature code 985 to display the correct extension for Enterprise Edge
Voice Messaging and compare this number to the extension that your telephone is forwarded to.
Feature 981 produces a Log prompt on the Enterprise Edge display
If a Log prompt appears on the display, it can signify that the telephone does not have an assigned mailbox. If the extension does not have an assigned mailbox,
Enterprise Edge Voice Messaging requests both a mailbox number and a password.

Enterprise Edge Voice Messaging Troubleshooting 133
Mailbox owner is unable to reply to an external caller, use Off-premise Message
Notification or Outbound Transfer
An Outdial route must be assigned before a Mailbox Owner can reply to an external caller using the Reply feature or use Off-premise Message Notification or
Outbound Transfer. Before a Mailbox Owner can reply to a message from an external caller, an Outdial route must be assigned and a Dialing Translation Table must be created.
The default for Outdial route is None. Until you assign a line, line pool or route code as the Outdial route for a mailbox, the mailbox owner can use the Reply Feature to reply to calls from internal extensions only, Off-premise Message Notification for internal extensions only and Outbound Transfer for internal extensions only.
You can apply dialing restrictions to an Enterprise Edge telephone and the extensions connected to Enterprise Edge Voice Messaging. If you wish to restrict outdialing of certain phone numbers, you must do one of the following:
1. Through Enterprise Edge programming, assign the dialing restrictions to the
Enterprise Edge extensions to which Enterprise Edge Voice Messaging is connected. This restricts all outdialing calls including external transfers from
CCR trees, Off-premise Message Notification and Outbound Transfers. When assigning an Outdial route, all dialing is done by the extension to which
Enterprise Edge Voice Messaging is connected, not by the Enterprise Edge telephone. For additional information, refer to the Enterprise Edge 2.0
Programming Operations Guide.
2. Through Enterprise Edge programming, assign the dialing restrictions to the extension of the user. For additional information, refer to the Enterprise Edge
2.0 Programming Operations Guide.
3. Through Enterprise Edge programming, assign the dialing restrictions to the
Enterprise Edge line(s) being used for outdialing. For additional information, refer to the Enterprise Edge 2.0 Programming Operations Guide.

Operating trouble
The following conditions list some problems that can occur when operating
Enterprise Edge Voice Messaging.
Personalized Greetings do not play
Personalized Greetings do not play when a telephone is on Call Forward Busy or
Call Forward All Calls to the Enterprise Edge Voice Messaging extension. In these cases, Personalized Greetings depend on Caller ID information that is received before the second ring.
Personalized Greetings also do not play if the Auto Attendant is set to answer at less than 2 rings. The Primary or Alternate Personal Mailbox Greeting plays instead.
Assign the number of rings to two or more.
Mailboxes are not accepting messages
A mailbox does not accept messages if the mailbox is not initialized.
Note: A mailbox cannot receive messages until it is initialized by the mailbox owner. Instruct owners to initialize their mailboxes.
Messages are being lost in a mailbox
If messages are being removed, check the message retention period in the mailbox
Class of Service. To check the Class of Service, refer to
Changing mailbox options on page 85.
A mailbox owner lost the mailbox password
A forgotten password cannot be recovered. The password associated with the mailbox must be reset to the default password 0000. After a password is reset to the default, the mailbox owner must change it in order to use the mailbox. To reset a password, refer to
Changing mailbox options on page 85.
A mailbox owner cannot access their mailbox
Each mailbox is assigned a maximum number of incorrect password attempts as a
Class of Service. Enterprise Edge Voice Messaging records the number of incorrect attempts since the last time the mailbox was successfully accessed. If the number of attempts is exceeded, the mailbox owner is “locked-out” and hears “This mailbox has been locked to prevent unauthorized access. Please contact your administrator
for assistance.” The mailbox cannot be opened again until the System
Administrator resets the password. To reset a password, refer to
Changing mailbox options on page 85.

Enterprise Edge Voice Messaging Troubleshooting 135
A mailbox is not in the Company Directory
Check to ensure the mailbox is initialized. If the mailbox is not initialized it does not appear in the Company Directory. Check to ensure the Company Directory
Override for the mailbox is set to Yes. Refer to Changing mailbox options on page
Calls are answered by the wrong mailbox
Check to ensure that the correct extension is assigned to the mailbox.
A mailbox cannot be added to Enterprise Edge Voice Messaging
Ensure the mailbox is not already certified with Enterprise Edge Voice Messaging.
Mailbox numbers must be unique. Enterprise Edge Voice Messaging can store up to 1,000 mailboxes. This number includes the Special Mailboxes. Refer to the
Enterprise Edge 2.0 Voice Messaging Programming Record.
You cannot enter a name for a mailbox
Names must be entered as last name, then first name and initial. All names must have a comma (,) between the first and last name. The maximum length of the name, including the comma, is 16 characters. Refer to
Changing mailbox options on page
Incomplete messages are received in a mailbox or “Message delivered” plays while recording a message, or a Enterprise Edge Voice Messaging session ends unexpectedly
Any of these situations can be due to a problem called Talk Off. Talk Off occurs if
Enterprise Edge Voice Messaging interprets certain voice patterns as Dual Tone
Multi Frequency (DTMF) tones. DTMF tones are produced when buttons are pressed on a touch tone phone. When you press a button on the dialpad, Enterprise
Edge Voice Messaging receives a DTMF tone and performs the correct operation.
For example, after you enter your mailbox password, you can press £. The DTMF tone sent to Enterprise Edge Voice Messaging indicates you are finished entering your password.
Some voice patterns are the same as DTMF tones. This can cause Enterprise Edge
Voice Messaging to function incorrectly. For example, if in the middle of a message you say something that sounds the same as the DTMF tone created by pressing £, the recording session ends. Correcting Talk Off requires adjustments to your
Enterprise Edge Voice Messaging system.
You cannot create a Group List
The maximum number of Group Lists that can be created is 99. The Enterprise Edge
Voice Messaging Group List must be enabled during installation. If the Group List feature is not enabled, you cannot create a Group List. To enable this feature, you must reset Enterprise Edge Voice Messaging.

The Tree cannot be deleted
The Tree cannot be deleted while it is in use. The Tree must be disabled before it can be deleted.
Note: For more information about deleting the Tree, refer to Deleting a Tree on page 122.
The Tree cannot be enabled
The Tree must be saved before it can be enabled, and it must be completed before it is saved. To complete the Tree, ensure:
• The Tree contains the Home Menu node with an action node below it.
• If the Tree contains a Mailbox node, the mailbox is initialized.
The Mailbox is full
The mailbox is equipped with a Never Full Mailbox feature, which lets a caller leave a message in the mailbox, even if the mailbox is “full”. The message is stored, but cannot be accessed until the mailbox owner deletes some of the messages in the mailbox.
If more message time is required, the Class of Service of the mailbox can be changed.
Deleting a mailbox
Do not delete a mailbox used in a CCR Tree. If you delete a Mailbox node mailbox, the messages automatically go to the General Delivery Mailbox.

Appendix A: Dialing Translation
Overview
Dialing translation is a process by which the number of an incoming call from a public network translates through a translation table into a number that can be recognized and dialed on the local network, using the Reply feature.
For Dialing Translation to occur, you, as the System Administrator, must create a
Dialing Translation Table that recognizes the digits of an external number and translates them into a number that can be dialed by the Enterprise Edge system. The
Enterprise Edge system also consults the restrictions and schedules tables prior to dialing the number.
The Dialing Translation Tables are necessary only for the Reply feature. Enterprise
Edge Voice Messaging does not require the tables in order to function normally.
How the Dialing Translation Table works
A phone number is derived from information attached to an incoming Caller ID message. The number is then searched for by Enterprise Edge Voice Messaging in the Dialing Translation Table. If the leading digit or digits of the phone number match a Dialing Translation Table Input value (the number Enterprise Edge Voice
Messaging searches for in the Dialing Translation Table), the Output value is substituted for the Input value. This change results in a phone number that can be dialed on the local network. Changing the number usually involves removing an area code or inserting an access code, based on the dialing rules of the local network. For example, if a local number is prefixed with the long distance code “1”, it is removed by the Dialing Translation Table.
The Dialing Translation process is immediate so calls do not take any longer to dial.
Some phone numbers do not need to be changed before dialing. Enterprise Edge
Voice Messaging functions without a Dialing Translation Table except that the
Reply feature cannot be used.
Phone number translation
The Dialing Translation Table must define each possible case where a change is needed to allow the number to be on the local network.
The Dialing Translation Table changes Network extensions into numbers that can be dialed on the local network. The Network extension form of a phone number is the usual form in which the number appears. For example, the phone number 403-
555-5050, in its Network extension form, must be translated into a number that can be dialed on the local telephone network. The Dialing Translation Table follows the rules required to make the call.
P0911620 Issue 02 Enterprise Edge 2.0 Voice Messaging Set Up and Operation Guide
140 Appendix A: Dialing Translation
The following three tables are examples of Dialing Translation Tables and how they function. Every Dialing Translation Table entry consists of an Input value column and an Output value column. The values in the Input column represent the leading digits of the Network extensions which, if matched, are replaced by the corresponding value in the Output column. The “*” character shown after a value signifies any digits in the phone number that remain to be dialed. Enterprise Edge
Voice Messaging automatically adds the “*” character after every Input and Output value.
A phone number either matches or does not match a specific Input value.
A sample Dialing Translation Table from a site in metropolitan Toronto is shown below.

The Table removes the 416 area code and dials all calls as 7 digits.
These telephone exchanges can be dialed as local (no long distance charges) 10 digit calls from the 416 area.
All other 905 numbers not listed in the Input column above are long distance numbers and must be dialed as 11 digit long distance numbers.
Any numbers that start with digits other than 011, 416 and 905 are long distance, and have 1 added as a prefix.

All numbers starting with other than 011, 206 and 360 are long distance and have 1 added as a prefix.
Network Access
The Dialing Table Translation results in a number that can be dialed on the local network. The final step is to prefix any digits required to reach the local network from your Enterprise Edge system. For systems that are behind a PBX or PABX, typically in North America · must be prefixed to the phone number. For systems attached to Central Office (CO) lines no digits need to be prefixed.
Dialing Translation Parameters
The Dialing Translation process is controled by four parameters. These parameters are:
• Long distance access code (Lg dst ac)
This prefix, if specified, is removed from any numbers entered by the subscriber if it is not needed to make the call. This simplifies the creation of the Dialing
Translation Table. For North America, set the long distance access code to 1.
The default for this parameter is none. The field for this parameter is a maximum of 1 digit.
• Area code (Area cd)
If the phone number entered appears to be missing an area code, an area code is prefixed to the number. The area code is considered missing if the number has fewer than 10 digits. The default for this parameter is none. The field for this parameter is a maximum of 6 digits. If this parameter is set to none, then no area code is prefixed to the phone number.
P0911620 Issue 02 Enterprise Edge 2.0 Voice Messaging Set Up and Operation Guide
142 Appendix A: Dialing Translation
• Access code (Access cd)
In North America, the access code is usually 9. This number is prefixed to all numbers after Translation to access the local telephone network. If Enterprise
Edge Voice Messaging is attached directly to CO lines, set the Access Code to none. The default for this parameter is none. The field for this parameter is a maximum of 2 digits.
• Reply translation (Reply trans)
If set to N (no), the user must manually trim the CLID message information for the number to be dialed on the local network. For more information, refer to
Replying to a message on page 73. If the reply translation is set to Y (yes), then
the Reply feature uses the Dialing Translation Table to dial the call. The default for this parameter is N.
To make it easier for subscribers, set the Reply Translation to Y if a Dialing
Translation Table is created. If a Dialing Translation Table is not created, set the
Reply Translation to N.
Setting the Dialing Translation Parameters
Setting the Dialing Translation Parameters makes it easier to build a Dialing
Translation Table. It is not a prerequisite to set the Dialing Translation Parameters to operate Enterprise Edge Voice Messaging.

Appendix B: Enterprise Edge Configuration Tips
Overview
This appendix describes some Enterprise Edge configuration enhancements that maximize the efficiency of Enterprise Edge Voice Messaging.
Delayed answering by the Enterprise Edge Voice Messaging Automated
Attendant
The Enterprise Edge Voice Messaging Automated Attendant can answer any call on specified Central Office (CO) telephone lines after a specified number of rings.
Enterprise Edge Voice Messaging answers incoming calls if:
1. The Installer programs Enterprise Edge Voice Messaging to be the prime telephone for one or more designated CO lines. The Enterprise Edge Delay
Ring Transfer (DRT) feature transfers unanswered calls on these lines to the
Automated Attendant after the specified number of rings.
Note: The Enterprise Edge DRT feature applies only to incoming calls on the assigned line. It does not affect any extension calls between telephones.
Ringing lines and answer buttons
If two or more telephones have a ringing line appearance of the same incoming telephone line, and one of these telephones is programmed with the Call Forward
All Calls (CFAC) or Call Forward No Answer (CFNA) features, then all incoming calls on the incoming telephone line are directed to the Personal Mailbox of the programmed telephone.
For example, if a marketing receptionist’s telephone has a ringing line appearance of the marketing director’s telephone, and the receptionist’s telephone is call forwarded to Enterprise Edge Voice Messaging, then all incoming call immediately transfer to the receptionist’s Personal Mailbox. This is also true if the receptionist’s telephone is CFNA to Enterprise Edge Voice Messaging and if the number of specified rings on the receptionist’s telephone is fewer than the specified rings on the marketing director’s telephone.
Note: CFAC and CFNA do not affect calls on a telephone’s non-ringing lines. For example, if a receptionist’s telephone has a non-ringing appearance of another telephone’s CO line, and the receptionist’s telephone is CFAC or
CFNA to Enterprise Edge Voice Messaging, incoming calls on this line are not affected.
P0911620 Issue 02 Enterprise Edge 2.0 Voice Messaging Set Up and Operation Guide
146 Appendix B: Enterprise Edge Configuration Tips
Ringing Answer Button
If one or more telephones have a Ringing Answer Button for another telephone, and one of these is CFAC or CFNA to Enterprise Edge Voice Messaging, all incoming calls are directed into the Personal Mailbox of the call forwarded telephone.
If two or more of these telephones are CFAC to Enterprise Edge Voice Messaging, all calls are directed to the Personal Mailbox of the telephone that is connected to the lowest numbered station port on the Enterprise Edge system.
Using Call Forward All Calls (CFAC) and Call Forward No Answer
(CFNA)
If a mailbox owner does not want to take any calls for a period of time, they can forward their telephone to their Personal Mailbox using the Enterprise Edge CFAC feature. When forwarded, all calls to the mailbox owner’s extension transfer directly into their Personal Mailbox.
To call forward to a mailbox, press ƒ·°›.
To cancel call forward:
Press ƒ£› or press CANCEL or press ∞.
No other telephone on the Enterprise Edge system can have a ringing line appearance of the mailbox owner’s lines or a ringing answer button of the forwarded telephone.
Sample Enterprise Edge Voice Messaging setups
There are several ways to set up Enterprise Edge Voice Messaging in your company. How you choose to set up Enterprise Edge Voice Messaging depends on the type of Enterprise Edge Business Communication System you have, and how many CO lines you use.
This sample Enterprise Edge Voice Messaging setup describes four different sample configurations and concludes with some useful application tips.
Enterprise Edge 2.0 Voice Messaging Set Up and Operation Guide P0911620 Issue 02
Appendix B: Enterprise Edge Configuration Tips 147
Setting Up for a small company
The On Your Toes Dance Studio has a Compact Business Communication system.
The Installer programmed both Enterprise Edge and Enterprise Edge Voice
Messaging. The Installer programmed Enterprise Edge Voice Messaging to be the
Enterprise Edge Call Forward No Answer (CFNA) telephone for each extension.
This means that any call not answered by a mailbox owner transfers to their mailbox.
Each mailbox owner has buttons programmed for the Enterprise Edge Voice
Messaging Leave Message and Open Mailbox feature codes. This allows easy access to these frequently used features.
All of the employees have been assigned a mailbox number that is the same as their
Enterprise Edge extension. All of the mailbox owners have initialized their mailbox, and recorded and selected a Personal Greeting.
For the purpose of this example, Enterprise Edge and Enterprise Edge Voice
Messaging work together in call handling.
The central receptionist
The On Your Toes Dance Studio’s receptionist handles all calls from the studio’s published phone number. When the receptionist cannot answer the telephone within four rings, the Automated Attendant answers the call. The receptionist is also the
Enterprise Edge designated Operator. Whenever a caller presses ‚ to speak with the operator, the call transfers back to the receptionist.
Here is how On Your Toes Dance Studio’s communication system works.
The On Your Toes Dance Studio’s public phone number is 555-2468. The studio subscribes to custom calling services from its telephone company and this number forwards to any available (non-busy) line in a group of six lines. All six lines appear on the receptionist telephone.
Enterprise Edge Voice Messaging is the Prime Set for each of the six lines.
Enterprise Edge’s Delayed Ring Transfer (DRT) feature is used to forward unanswered lines to the Automated Attendant. The DRT to Prime is set to Yes, and the DRT Delay is set to four.
Note: Delayed Ring Transfer is a Enterprise Edge system-wide call handling feature. All lines on the Enterprise Edge programmed DRT to Prime are forwarded after four rings. In the Enterprise Edge Configuration, this is done by setting the Prime Set of the line to the Enterprise Edge Voice
Messaging extension.
Enterprise Edge Voice Messaging uses Greeting Table 1 to answer calls after four rings. Depending on the time of day, different recorded greetings play for the
Morning, Afternoon, and Evening. When the Business Status is No, the Nonbusiness Hours Greeting plays.
Note: Lines must be assigned to a Greeting Table before the Greeting Table greetings are used.
P0911620 Issue 02 Enterprise Edge 2.0 Voice Messaging Set Up and Operation Guide
148 Appendix B: Enterprise Edge Configuration Tips
Greetings have been recorded by the System Administrator and say:
Greeting No. 1 “Good morning. You have reached On Your Toes
Dance Studio. The studio is closed at this time. Please stay on the line to leave a message.”
(The Enterprise Edge Voice Messaging voice prompts play after the greeting. You can make Company
Greetings up to five minutes long.)
Greeting No. 2
Greeting No. 3
“Good afternoon. You have reached On Your Toes
Dance Studio.”
“Good evening. You have reached On Your Toes Dance
Studio.”
Greeting No. 4 “You have reached On Your Toes Dance Studio. The studio is closed at this time. Please stay on the line to leave a message.”
Greeting Table 1 automatically answers calls using greetings 1 through 4. Greetings
1 through 4 play until the System Administrator assigns different numbered greetings.
When Greeting Table 1 was configured, English was chosen as the Primary
Language.
The Costume Room
The Costume Room has one telephone with a Enterprise Edge Voice Messaging mailbox. Calls are directed to the Costume Room Attendant by the receptionist or the Automated Attendant. When the Attendant is not available, the caller is forwarded to the Costume Room mailbox. The mailbox primary message says:
“You have reached the Costume Room. No one is available to take your call. Please leave your name and number and a brief message after the tone and we will return
your call as soon as possible.”
Setting Up for a medium sized company
The Bridge Stone Company is an engineering firm that has a Compact Enterprise
Edge Business Communication system. The Installer programmed both Enterprise
Edge and Enterprise Edge Voice Messaging. The Installer programmed Enterprise
Edge Voice Messaging to be the CFNA telephone for each extension. This means that any call not answered by a mailbox owner transfers to their mailbox.
Each mailbox owner has buttons programmed for the Enterprise Edge Voice
Messaging Leave Message and Open Mailbox feature codes. This allows easy access to these frequently used features.
Enterprise Edge 2.0 Voice Messaging Set Up and Operation Guide P0911620 Issue 02
Appendix B: Enterprise Edge Configuration Tips 149
All employees are assigned a mailbox number that is the same as their Enterprise
Edge extension. All mailbox owners have initialized their mailbox, and recorded and selected a Personal Greeting.
When the receptionist is not available, Custom Call Routing lets incoming callers route their call along a call path.
For the purpose of this example, Enterprise Edge, CCR and Enterprise Edge Voice
Messaging work together in call handling.
The central receptionist
Bridge Stone’s receptionist handles all calls from the published phone number.
When the receptionist is unable to answer the telephone within four rings, the
Automated Attendant answers the call. The receptionist is also the designated
Operator. Whenever a caller presses ‚ to speak with the operator, the caller transfers to the receptionist.
Here is how Bridge Stone’s communication system works.
Bridge Stone’s public phone number is 123-1234. All lines appear on the receptionist’s telephone. Enterprise Edge Voice Messaging is the Prime Set for each of the six lines. The Enterprise Edge Delayed Ring Transfer (DRT) feature is used to forward unanswered lines to the Automated Attendant.
Delayed Ring Transfer is an Enterprise Edge system-wide call handling feature. All lines on the Enterprise Edge programmed with DRT to Prime forward after four rings. In the Enterprise Edge Configuration, this is done by setting the Prime Set of the line to the Enterprise Edge Voice Messaging extension. The DRT to Prime is set to YES, and the DRT Delay is set to four.
Enterprise Edge Voice Messaging uses Greeting Table 1 to answer calls after four rings. Depending on the time of day, different recorded greetings play for the
Morning, Afternoon, and Evening. When the Business Status is No, the Nonbusiness Hours Greeting plays.
Greetings have been recorded by the System Administrator and say:
Greeting No. 1 “Good morning. You have reached Bridge Stone
Engineering.” (The CCR Home Menu plays after the greeting. You can make Company Greetings up to five minutes long.)
Greeting No. 2
Greeting No. 3
“Good afternoon. You have reached Bridge Stone
Engineering.”
“Good evening. You have reached Bridge Stone
Engineering.”
Greeting No. 4 “You have reached Bridge Stone Engineering. Our office is closed at this time. Please stay on the line to leave a message.”
P0911620 Issue 02 Enterprise Edge 2.0 Voice Messaging Set Up and Operation Guide
150 Appendix B: Enterprise Edge Configuration Tips
Greeting Table 1 automatically answers calls using greetings 1 through 4. Greetings
1 through 4 play until the System Administrator assigns different numbered greetings.
When the Greeting Table was configured, English was chosen as the Primary
Language.
Note: Lines used must be assigned to the Greeting Table before the Greeting Table greetings are used.
Following the Company Greeting the CCR Home Menu voice prompt plays. This menu provides a list of single digit options to a caller. A caller, after listening to the
Home Menu, selects an option by pressing a number on any touch tone phone. For example:
“To speak to our customer service representative, press ⁄. To reach our sales
department, press ¤. To reach our shipping and receiving department, press
‹ . To speak with our receptionist, press ‚.”
The Customer Service and Sales department
This department has two secretaries, two customer service representatives, two sales agents, a sales manager, and a customer service manager. Enterprise Edge
Voice Messaging is set up to answer all calls with callers selecting either customer service or sales from the CCR Home Menu voice prompt.
Incoming calls for customer service transfer directly to the customer service receptionist. Incoming calls for sales transfer directly to the sales receptionist.
The managers
Bridge Stone managers have a personal CO line that appears on their private telephone and their receptionist’s telephone. The receptionists answer the managers’ calls, and then transfer the calls to each manager’s telephone.
If a manager is unavailable to take a call, the call rings back at the receptionist’s set.
The receptionist handles the call by asking the caller to leave a voice message in the manager’s Personal Mailbox. If the caller wants to leave a message, the receptionist transfers the caller using the Enterprise Edge Voice Messaging Transfer Feature
(Feature 986).
When Enterprise Edge Voice Messaging is set up in this manner, the Enterprise
Edge CFNA for the manager’s set is not used. The receptionist answers the manager’s calls and uses Enterprise Edge Voice Messaging’s Transfer Feature to transfer the caller to the manager’s telephone. Enterprise Edge Voice Messaging’s
Transfer Callback Feature returns the call to the receptionist’s telephone if a manager is not available to take a call.
Note: The receptionist’s telephone has a ringing line appearance. This telephone cannot be forwarded to another telephone.
Enterprise Edge 2.0 Voice Messaging Set Up and Operation Guide P0911620 Issue 02
Appendix B: Enterprise Edge Configuration Tips 151
Shipping and Receiving
The employees in this department share the same Enterprise Edge telephone. This department uses one telephone line that is assigned to the loading dock. This line is assigned to Path 3 of the CCR Home Menu.
The shipping and receiving department mailbox greeting informs callers they can leave a message or press ‚ to speak with the receptionist.
Feature Compatibility
This part of the appendix describes how Enterprise Edge features interact with
Enterprise Edge Voice Messaging. The section is organized in alphabetical order, according to the Enterprise Edge feature.
Enterprise Edge ATA 2
An analog single-line set can be connected to Enterprise Edge Voice Messaging using the Enterprise Edge ATA 2 or an Analog Station Module. This type of set, working with DTMF tones, allows access to Enterprise Edge Voice Messaging options through the dialpad only. There is no Message Waiting Notification availability.
Rotary dials cannot be used internally with Enterprise Edge Voice Messaging.
Answer buttons
For information about Answer Buttons, refer to Ringing Answer Button on page
Autodial (internal)
All mailbox owners on the Enterprise Edge Voice Messaging system can program the Enterprise Edge Voice Messaging extension. The Enterprise Edge Voice
Messaging extension is determined using feature code 985.
The System Administrator can use autodial for Busy Lamp Field (BLF) indication for all voice channels. This allows Enterprise Edge Voice Messaging channels to be monitored during busy periods.
Automatic Set Relocation
Must be set to No when changing the Enterprise Edge Voice Messaging extension and connections between the Enterprise Edge and the Enterprise Edge server.
Call Forward All Calls (CFAC)
Any ringing line or answer button appearance on a set forwards to the extension specified by the call forwarded extension.
If CFAC is used a caller immediately transfer to the mailbox of the CFAC extension.
P0911620 Issue 02 Enterprise Edge 2.0 Voice Messaging Set Up and Operation Guide
152 Appendix B: Enterprise Edge Configuration Tips
Call Forward No Answer (CFNA)
Any ringing line appearance on a set is CFNA to the extension specified after the programmed number of rings.
CFNA is not applicable in an Automated Attendant application. If Delayed Ring
Transfer (DRT) is being used for Enterprise Edge Voice Messaging answering, ensure that the number of rings for CFNA on any of the sets is equal to or higher than the number of rings for DRT.
CFNA takes precedence over DRT and Transfer Callback if it has a lower number of rings.
Camp On
The Camp On Feature cannot be used to access Enterprise Edge Voice Messaging.
If a user calls the extension and there is no answer, the user cannot invoke the Camp
On Feature. Instead, advise the user to wait a few moments and try the Enterprise
Edge Voice Messaging extension again.
Changing extensions
Using Enterprise Edge configuration programming to change the Enterprise Edge
Voice Messaging extension is not automatically supported by Enterprise Edge
Voice Messaging. If you change the Enterprise Edge Voice Messaging extension, reboot Enterprise Edge Voice Messaging.
Delayed Ring Transfer (DRT)
To use Enterprise Edge Voice Messaging as a secondary line answering position, set DRT:
1. Assign the Enterprise Edge Voice Messaging extension as the prime extension for the specified lines that are to be DRT to Enterprise Edge Voice Messaging.
2. Set the Enterprise Edge DRT to Yes.
3. Set DRT Delay from one to six rings.
4. Assign a Greeting Table to each line that is to be DRT to Enterprise Edge
Voice Messaging.
5. Set the Enterprise Edge Voice Messaging Answer option to No for the lines that are to be DRT to Enterprise Edge Voice Messaging.
If DRT is used for Enterprise Edge Voice Messaging Answering, and Enterprise
Edge telephones with a ringing line appearance forward to Enterprise Edge Voice
Messaging, a caller immediately transfers to the mailbox of the CFAC set.
Enterprise Edge 2.0 Voice Messaging Set Up and Operation Guide P0911620 Issue 02
Appendix B: Enterprise Edge Configuration Tips 153
Disconnect Supervision
If the Enterprise Edge server has Line Disconnect Supervision and a caller hangs up after reaching the Automated Attendant, Enterprise Edge Voice Messaging immediately senses this and breaks the connection. This results in fewer ‘phantom’ messages in the General Delivery Mailbox and prevents Enterprise Edge Voice
Messaging ports from being occupied.
Do Not Disturb (DND)
Stops all tones and ringing to a set. When a call transfers to a set with DND activated, the call appears as a flashing indicator on an available line. The
Automated Attendant transfers the caller to the mailbox associated with that telephone.
Feature timeout
Enterprise Edge Voice Messaging has a timeout of up to two minutes. This feature is independent of the Enterprise Edge timeout.
Hold
A mailbox owner cannot put a session on hold. If the hold button is pressed during a Enterprise Edge Voice Messaging programming session, Enterprise Edge Voice
Messaging disconnects, except when Automatic Hold is used to transfer a caller to a mailbox or an extension. Enterprise Edge Voice Messaging ignores Held Line
Reminder tones.
Intercom Numbers
An inside user can access Enterprise Edge Voice Messaging using an intercom button and entering the extension. Access to the Enterprise Edge Voice Messaging feature codes and “Message for you” indication requires an intercom button on the set.
An intercom button is required to notify an extension of an incoming transfer.
Language choice
The Enterprise Edge Voice Messaging language capability is independent of
Enterprise Edge’s language selection for a set. Enterprise Edge Voice Messaging language availability is determined by the Class of Service assigned to a mailbox.
Note: The Enterprise Edge Voice Messaging language option is enabled after a mailbox owner starts a session.
Lines
If a line programmed for the Automated Attendant appears on a set, it rings when
Enterprise Edge Voice Messaging transfers the call. If a line programmed to be answered by the Automated Attendant does not appear on a set, a call is transferred to an intercom line appearing on the intercom button.
P0911620 Issue 02 Enterprise Edge 2.0 Voice Messaging Set Up and Operation Guide
154 Appendix B: Enterprise Edge Configuration Tips
Message Send/Reply/Waiting
Any message notification left by an internal caller can be replied to using the
Enterprise Edge Voice Messaging message reply options. After listening to a message, a user can forward a copy of the message to another mailbox or call the message sender.
Note: Replying to a message from an Enterprise Edge one line display phone requires the user to press · after listening to the message.
Night Service
When Night Service is activated and the Enterprise Edge Voice Messaging prime extension is specified as the Night Ring extension for an incoming line, a caller immediately hears the Enterprise Edge Voice Messaging Automated Attendant.
Prime Set (multiple)
When configuring lines, Enterprise Edge Voice Messaging can be designated as the prime extension. Enterprise Edge Voice Messaging answers with the Automated
Attendant.
Private line
When private lines are assigned to a set programmed to ring, CFNA to Enterprise
Edge Voice Messaging is answered by the set’s Personal Mailbox. If a private line is the only appearance on that set, Enterprise Edge transfers calls through the intercom button.
Note: If the private line is not programmed to ring, CFNA is not activated.
Release button
Ends an Enterprise Edge Voice Messaging session or telephone call.
Ringing line preference
Ringing lines programmed to Enterprise Edge extensions are recognized by
Enterprise Edge Voice Messaging. Features such as CFNA and CFAC to Enterprise
Edge Voice Messaging are not recognized by non-ringing lines programmed to an
Enterprise Edge extension. Refer to the
Call Forward No Answer (CFNA) on page
Call Forward All Calls (CFAC) on page 151 and Answer buttons on page 151.
Selective Call Forward
Refer to Do Not Disturb (DND) on page 153.
Service Modes
The Service Modes feature allows the Enterprise Edge System to be programmed to forward all incoming calls to Enterprise Edge Voice Messaging during specific time periods, such as lunch time or nonbusiness hours. Enterprise Edge Voice
Messaging answers with the Automated Attendant.
Transfer Callback
Calls through the Automated Attendant that transfer to a extension without CFNA are routed by Transfer Callback to Enterprise Edge Voice Messaging after the designated number of rings. The CFNA/Transfer Callback feature is programmed so that the fewest rings take precedence.
