About this Guide
The CallPilot Telephone Administration Guide describes how to set up and configure CallPilot on a
Business Communications Manager (BCM) and CallPilot 100/150 system using telset based administration.
About CallPilot
CallPilot is a versatile business communications tool that you can use to:
• answer incoming calls
• offer callers a selection of options to route their calls or access information
• provide advanced voice mail, Auto Attendant, and call handling capabilities
This guide leads a System Administrator through setting up and operating CallPilot on a Business
Communications Manager and CallPilot 100/150 system. You can program CallPilot using a two-line display telephone on your system. You can also use the web-based CallPilot Manager to set up and operate CallPilot. For information on CallPilot Manager, see the CallPilot Manager Set
Up and Operation Guide.
CallPilot features
CallPilot includes these features:
Voicemail
Records messages and stores them in a mailbox for easy retrieval. Business telephones on your system can have their own mailbox and greeting. Information can be distributed quickly to departments and workgroups.
Auto Attendant
Answers your business calls promptly, 24 hours a day, with a Company Greeting. Callers can direct their own calls by using the Company Directory.
Custom Call Routing (CCR)
Enhances the Auto Attendant menu with customized menus and information messages. With CCR you can determine the menu options and record the voice prompts that guide callers along call paths.
CallPilot Telephone Administration Guide
14 Chapter 1 Getting started
Fax Answering
Fax Answering lets outside callers send faxes to the main site telephone number. Fax Answering is available even if you do not have the Fax option installed on your system. With Fax Answering, a fax call that arrives through the Auto Attendant or CCR transfers to a specified extension. The extension is usually a fax machine connected by an Analog Terminal Adapter (ATA) for CallPilot
100/150, an Analog Station Module (ASM) for Business Communications Manager, or an ATA,
ASM, or GASI trunk for BCM50.
CallPilot options
CallPilot has three options to enhance your office communications. You need a keycode to enable a CallPilot option. Contact your vendor if you want to trial or purchase a keycode.
CallPilot options are as follows:
Message Networking
Message Networking links the CallPilot system with other voice mail systems and allows the exchange of voice messages between users at different sites. CallPilot supports Digital networking and Audio Messaging Interchange Specification (AMIS) networking. For information about
Message Networking see the CallPilot Message Networking Set Up and Operation Guide.
Contact Center
Contact Center is an application that handles incoming calls as efficiently and economically as possible. Contact Center answers calls, then routes the calls to agents in a skillset that most closely matches the needs of the caller. Calls can be routed based on the origin of the call, the destination of the call, or the information entered by the caller. Callers can be given high or low priorities.
Callers can overflow to different groups or skillsets of agents, transfer out of the system, leave a message, and hear announcements or informative messages. For information about Contact Center see the Contact Center Set Up and Operation Guide.
Fax
Fax is a CallPilot option that enhances your office communications by providing incoming and outgoing fax capability. With Fax, callers can send and retrieve fax messages as easily as they send and retrieve voice messages. The Fax option includes Fax Mail, Fax On Demand and Fax
Overflow. Fax Answering is available even if you do not have the Fax option installed on your system.
For information about Fax see the CallPilot Fax Set Up and Operation Guide. Fax is not available for CallPilot 100/150.
Unified Messaging
With Unified Messaging subscribers can use their email application to access voice, fax and text messages from their personal computer. Unified Messaging can be used with several popular email applications. Unified Messaging is available for Business Communications Manager systems.
Chapter 1 Getting started 15
Desktop Messaging
With Desktop Messaging subscribers can access their CallPilot mailbox from their personal computer. Subscribers can manage all of their voice messages from one graphical interface.
Desktop Messaging is available for CallPilot 100/150.
Using CallPilot
Who can use CallPilot
CallPilot can be used by outside callers and mailbox owners (subscribers) in your company.
Subscribers at your office can use CallPilot from any display telephone that is connected to your telephone system. Subscribers outside your office can use CallPilot from any tone dial telephone.
Incoming calls from a rotary dial telephone are transferred to your company receptionist or designated operator. If an operator is not available, the call transfers to the General Delivery
Mailbox.
System timeout
If you pause longer than 2 minutes when you program CallPilot using F983, the system times out and ends the session. This is a safety feature that prevents unauthorized use of the system.
For example, if the system times out before you enter all the settings for a mailbox, you must use the procedures in
“Changing a mailbox” on page 51
to finish setting up the mailbox.
Audience
This guide is for system administrators who configure and maintain CallPilot on a Business
Communications Manager or CallPilot 100/150 system. To use this guide you must:
• be an authorized system administrator
• be knowledgeable of CallPilot

The default Class of Service for the General Delivery Mailbox is 1. You can change the Class of
Service at any time. For information on changing the Class of Service, see
“Changing a mailbox” on page 51
.
The General Delivery Mailbox can receive messages before it is initialized, but you must initialize it before you can retrieve messages from it. For information about initializing mailboxes, see
“Initializing a mailbox” on page 35
.
Subscriber mailboxes
Create a Subscriber mailbox for each person in your organization who needs to receive messages.
The default password for a newly created subscriber mailbox is 0000.
A Subscriber mailbox must be initialized by the mailbox owner before it can receive voice messages. Until a mailbox is initialized, it cannot receive voice messages, it does not appear in the
Company Directory, and any calls that are directed to it are rerouted to the General Delivery
Mailbox.
Chapter 2 CallPilot mailboxes 25
Guest mailboxes
Create Guest mailboxes for people who do not have an operating extension but require a mailbox.
A Guest mailbox must be initialized by the mailbox owner before it can receive messages.
When you create Guest mailboxes, assign mailbox numbers that begin with the same digit. This identifies the mailbox type. Create Guest mailbox numbers that begin with a digit that is different than the Subscriber mailbox numbers. For example, if Subscriber mailbox numbers start with two,
Guest mailboxes can start with the number four.
When to use Guest mailboxes
Guest mailboxes can provide a temporary employee with CallPilot services, give clients access to internal messaging and call routing, and let customers leave telephone orders.
You can use Guest mailboxes to:
• take personal catalog shopping orders
• list classes or seminars and let callers register by telephone
• give frequent customers access to CallPilot services
Using a Guest mailbox for telephone registration
This example shows how to set up a Guest mailbox with announcement and order-taking capabilities. When you provide services that let a customer call into a mailbox, include the mailbox number in the greeting. This lets a caller transfer directly to the mailbox.
To use a Guest mailbox to provide telephone registration, you must first determine a mailbox number. Make sure that the Guest mailbox number is unique and is not assigned to any display telephone extension. Next, record the mailbox greeting.
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 Beginner Ballet. If you are interested in any of these courses, please leave your name and telephone number after the tone. One of our instructors will contact you with more information.”
You can include the time and date the classes are being offered. This example is applicable to
Guest mailboxes that are used for taking orders.
After you record the announcement, record a Company Greeting that tells callers about the mailbox that 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 telephone extension and the number 28 is the Guest mailbox.
CallPilot Telephone Administration Guide
26 Chapter 2 CallPilot mailboxes
Make sure the leading digit of Guest mailbox numbers is 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” extension numbers. To test if an extension is out-of-range, dial it from another extension. If the number is out-of-range, the display shows
Invalid number
. If the number is not out-of-range but does not have a set plugged into the corresponding port, the display shows
Not in service
.
You must assign a Class of Service to the Guest mailbox. When you assign a Class of Service to a
Guest mailbox used as an order mailbox, choose a Class of Service that has the maximum mailbox
greeting and message time available. See “Mailbox Class of Service” on page 27
.
Information mailboxes
Information mailboxes play an informative message to callers who access it. An Information mailbox must be initialized before it can play an information message. Callers cannot leave messages in Information mailboxes. Information mailboxes do not have operating extensions. For
more information about Information messages, see “Information mailbox messages” on page 152 .
Information mailboxes are maintained by the System Administrator or a mailbox owner.
You can use Information mailboxes to:
• announce sales
• provide product lists
• announce special events
You create the Information mailbox and give it to a subscriber or department. The department creates the password and maintains the greeting. Information mailbox greetings can be recorded by you or by the person assigned the Information mailbox.
To let callers know about your company’s Information mailboxes:
• Advertise the Auto Attendant main number, and record a Company Greeting that mentions the
Information mailbox services.
• Provide a list of your company’s Information mailbox numbers in brochures and telephone directory advertising.
• Mention the 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 Information mailboxes.
• Assign the Operator as the transfer point for all Information mailbox inquiries. Record a statement in the Company Greeting that tells callers 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, have the Operator provide a list of the Information mailboxes and transfer the caller accordingly.
A call disconnects after the Information mailbox greeting plays except:
Chapter 2 CallPilot mailboxes 27
• if the call is extended by the Auto Attendant, the call disconnects or returns to the Auto
Attendant according to the Return to AA setting .
• if the Information mailbox is the Mailbox node of a Custom Call Routing Tree, the call disconnects, or returns to the Home menu, or returns to the previous menu, according to the
Next Action setting of the Mailbox node.
The maximum length of the greeting is determined by the Class of Service. The default settings for
Class of Service 7 and 8 allow greetings that are up to 10 minutes in length.
If CallPilot is configured as bilingual, the Information mailbox has greetings in primary and alternate languages. The rules for bilingual prompting determine which one of these callers hear.
Callers press a dialpad button, depending on which country they are in, to switch to the other greeting.
While they listen to the Information mailbox greeting, callers can use playback commands such as pause, resume, forward and back. Outside callers can press a dialpad button, depending on which country they are in, to transfer to the system attendant extension.
Mailbox Class of Service
Class of Service (COS) values reduce the amount of programming you do when you add a mailbox. Instead of entering values for several features, you can select the COS appropriate for a mailbox. You enter the COS when you add the mailbox and the system uses the associated values.
The COS tables, shown in
“Class of Service values” on page 29
, have preset values. You can change individual COS values to meet the needs of your company. You make these changes using
F983 or the web-based CallPilot Manager. For more information about using CallPilot Manager to edit Classes of Service, see the CallPilot Manager Set Up and Operation Guide.

30 Chapter 2 CallPilot mailboxes
Mailbox options
Apart from mailbox Class of Service settings, you can change these mailbox options:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Mailbox properties are not included in a Class of Service. When you add a mailbox, you can change these options without changing the Class of Service.
Company Directory
The Company Directory is an internal list that contains the names of mailbox owners with initialized mailboxes who are assigned to the directory.
When you add a mailbox, you determine whether the mailbox appears in the Company Directory.
Even if you do not include a mailbox in the Company Directory the mailbox owner must still record their name when they initialize their mailbox.
Message Waiting Notification
Message Waiting Notification gives subscribers a visual indication on their telephone display that they have new messages. Message Waiting Notification displays Message for you on a subscriber’s display telephone when they have a message.
Message Waiting Notification is enabled by default. When you create Guest Mailboxes, do not enable Message Waiting Notification. Guest Mailboxes do not have an operating extension.
Outdial route
The Outdial route determines which line or line pool the system uses when a subscriber uses:
• the Reply feature to reply to a message left by an external caller
• Off-premise Message Notification
• Outbound Transfer
The default for Outdial route is None. The values available are None, Line, Pool or Route. Until you assign a line or line pool 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.
Chapter 2 CallPilot mailboxes 31
When you assign an Outdial route, the dialing is done by the extension the system is connected to, not by the display telephone.
You can apply dialing restrictions to display telephones and the extensions connected to the system. For more information on restricting outdialing refer, to
“Restricting Outdialing” on page
.
If you set the Outdial route to anything but None, there is a potential for unauthorized long-distance dialing. You can prevent this by creating outdialing restrictions.
Alternate extensions
You can assign up to five alternate extensions to each Subscriber Mailbox. If a caller dials the main extension (the primary extension for the mailbox), the call rings only at the main extension.
Note: There is an exception to calls ringing only at the main extension. If you assign alternate extensions an Answer DN for the main extension, the call rings at the alternate extensions. Answer DNs are assigned to extensions in system programming.
For more information, see your system documentation.
Only extensions that do not have a mailbox assigned can be used as alternate extensions. There are no default alternate extensions for Subscriber mailboxes.
Alternate extensions receive the same Message Waiting Indication and Caller Display information as the primary extension. Subscribers can use the Open Mailbox feature (≤·°⁄) from alternate extensions to access messages from their primary extension.
Subscribers can use the Interrupt feature (≤·°‡) on an alternate extension the same way the same way they use ≤·°‡ on a primary extension.
If you delete the primary alternate extension using ≤·°‹, the second alternate extension is automatically deleted.
Auto-Login
Auto-Login is an option that makes logging on easier. With Auto-Login, subscribers don’t have to enter their mailbox number and password. Subscribers with Auto-Login can enter ≤ ·°⁄ and immediately be logged on to their mailbox. The telephone from which subscribers use
Auto-Login must be their primary or alternate telephone. Auto-Login is disabled by default.
CallPilot Telephone Administration Guide
32 Chapter 2 CallPilot mailboxes
Express Messaging Line
When you create a Subscriber mailbox, you can assign an Express Messaging Line to it if subscribers want to have fax and voice calls go to the Subscriber Mailbox without ringing at their extension. Callers hear the mailbox greeting and can leave voice and fax messages.
When Message for you appears on the telephone display, subscribers can open their mailbox and access their voice and fax messages.
You must enable the Fax option so subscribers can receive fax message on the Express Messaging
Line.
For a Business Communications Manager system, you can set up an Express Messaging Line as
Fax Only. If you select the Fax only option, the caller does not hear a greeting and cannot leave a voice message. If you select this option, the caller can send a fax immediately. If you do not select the Fax Only option, the caller hears a greeting and can leave a voice or fax message.
Give the seven-digit phone number associated with the line you assign as the Express Messaging
Line to the subscriber. For example, if line 20 is the Express Messaging Line and the associated phone number is 555-2424, give this phone number to the subscriber. After you assign a line to a mailbox, you cannot assign the line to another function until you remove the line from the mailbox.
You must set the prime set for the Express Messaging Line to the voice mail DN. The line must not ring anywhere in the system. For more information, see your system documentation. Express
Messaging is not enabled by default.
Call Screening
Call Screening lets subscribers determine who is calling before they accept a call. Call Screening is useful if there is no Caller ID available. The system records the caller’s name, calls the subscriber’s telephone, announces the name of the caller and offers options such as accepting the call or taking 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 a mailbox owner’s dedicated line. If a caller is calling from a line for which the mailbox owner has recorded a Personal Mailbox
Greeting, Call Screening is bypassed and the call transfers without delay.
If Call Screening is enabled, CallPilot calls a mailbox owner’s telephone that is call forwarded.The default for Call Screening is No, which means that unless subscribers have Calling Line
Identification (CLID) they cannot determine who is calling before they answer the call.
Mailbox Restrictions
You can control how a subscriber accesses a mailbox. For ≤·°‹, when you add or change a mailbox, the Mailbox Restrictions prompt appears after the Auto Log-in prompt. You choose whether or not to enable the Mailbox Restrictions. You can also enable the restrictions in CallPilot
Manager.
Chapter 2 CallPilot mailboxes 33
If you enable Mailbox Restrictions, a subscriber cannot log in to the mailbox externally. If the subscriber attempts to log in externally, the prompt “You are not allowed to use this feature.
Exiting the system; goodbye .
” is played. The system disconnects the caller.
In addition, an internal subscriber cannot administer a restricted mailbox. If the subscriber presses
8, the prompt “You are not allowed to use this feature” is played and the subscriber returns to the main menu.
This is applicable only to subscriber mailboxes.
Park and Page
With Park and Page external callers can press 6 to page a mailbox subscriber while they listen to the subscriber’s personal greeting or record a message. When the caller presses 6, the system parks the call and pages to paging zone, overhead paging system or both and the caller hears “One moment, please”. The caller cannot interrupt this prompt by pressing DTMF. The page is repeated based on the mailbox configuration until the parked call is picked up or the park timeout occurs, at which point the caller is returned to the mailbox and hears the subscriber’s personal greeting.
The call is parked as long as there are not already 25 calls parked. If the call cannot be parked, the caller hears “The person you have called is not available” followed by the subscriber’s mailbox greeting. While a call is parked the caller hears a hold tone or music on hold, depending on your system configuration. The call is paged to the appropriate paging zone and/or overhead speaker system. If the page is unsuccessful because the paging facility is busy with another page, the system waits five seconds and retries the page every five seconds until the paging facility is available or the call park timeout expires, whichever occurs first. If the call park timeout expires first, the caller hears “The person you have called is not available” followed by the subscriber’s mailbox greeting. CallPilot does not retry the page after the call park timeout is reached.
If the page is unsuccessful for any other reason, the call is unparked and the caller hears “The person you have called is not available” followed by the subscriber’s mailbox greeting. While a call is being paged, the system plays the mailbox spoken name and park string, for example “John
Doe, 101”. The park string is played in the standard voice prompts, or customized digits, if you have recorded them. See the CallPilot Manager Set Up and Operation Guide for how to record customized digits.
Note: To use Park and Page you must have a park prefix defined in your system’s telephony programming. If you change the park prefix you must wait 15 minutes for the change to take effect. If you want the change to be effective immediately, you must reboot your system. If you have a BCM, see the BCM Networking Configuration Guide.
If you have CallPilot 100/150, see the Norstar System Coordinator Guide.
Restricting Outdialing
You can apply dialing restrictions to Nortel Business Series Terminals.
CallPilot Telephone Administration Guide
34 Chapter 2 CallPilot mailboxes
To restrict outdialing
Do one of the following:
• In system programming, assign dialing restrictions to the extension of the subscriber. For additional information, see your system documentation.
• In system programming, assign dialing restrictions to the lines used for outdialing. For additional information, see your system documentation.
• When changing or adding a mailbox, do not give outdialing capabilities to a subscriber’s
mailbox. See “To add a Subscriber mailbox” on page 38
.
Chapter 2 CallPilot mailboxes 35
Initializing a mailbox
Initializing a mailbox prepares the mailbox to receive messages. A mailbox cannot receive and store messages and does not appear in the Company Directory until it is initialized.
Initializing a mailbox involves:
• choosing a password from four to eight digits long that does not start with zero
• changing the default password to the new password
• recording the mailbox owner’s name in the Company Directory
Follow the procedure that pertains to the type of telephone interface you use.

Adding many mailboxes
You can save time by creating multiple mailboxes when you set up CallPilot for the first time, or when you need to add a large number of mailboxes to the 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. You can add mailboxes only for the amount of working telephone numbers that have specific extensions on your system. You cannot add more mailboxes if you reach the maximum number of mailboxes or software authorization code limit for your system.
To make the most effective use of adding multiple mailboxes, identify people who need a non-standard Subscriber mailbox. Create these mailboxes individually. Use Add Many Mailboxes to add the remaining mailboxes.
The mailboxes you create using Add Many Mailboxes have these characteristics:
• the mailbox number is the same as the extension number
• Class of Service is the same for all mailboxes
• the Call Screening setting is the same for all mailboxes
• the mailbox name is taken from the extension names assigned on your system.
If extension names are not programmed, the mailbox number is used
• the Message Waiting Notification property is the same for all mailboxes
• the Outdial route is the same for all mailboxes
• the Park and Page defaults are: page type = none, zone = 1, retries = 1, retry interval = 15
• the Display in Directory property is the same for all mailboxes
The mailboxes created are uninitialized and ready for initialization by mailbox owners.
A mailbox is not created if:
• a mailbox with the same number already exists
• the extension is used by another mailbox
• the extension is a CallPilot voice port
• there is not set connected to the extension
• the DN of the phone you are using to set up the mailbox is in the selected range

About mailbox passwords
Each mailbox is protected by a password established by the mailbox owner. When you add a mailbox to CallPilot Manager, the password 0000 is assigned. 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 a zero.
If a mailbox owner cannot remember the password, you can reset the password to the default
password 0000. See “To change a mailbox” on page 52
.
Warning: Change the System Administrator password frequently to minimize the risk of unauthorized activity.
Trivial passwords
Trivial password checking is intended to prevent unauthorized login to mailboxes. The feature does not allow a mailbox subscriber to have a password that is considered trivial. The trivial password checking feature can be turned OFF/ON through CallPilot Manager and F983.
The checking is done the first time each subscriber logs in to their mailbox after the feature is turned ON. This forces all users who have trivial passwords to change their passwords to non- trivial. After the initial login for each user, the trivial password checking is done every time the user changes the password.
The following are trivial passwords:
• password is identical to mail box number
• password number is composed of all the same digits, (for example, 1111, 2222)
• password number is composed of consecutive digits in increasing or decreasing order (for example, 1234, 43210)
Alphanumeric passwords entered in Call Pilot Manager are converted to numeric-only passwords before they are validated. For example, a Call Pilot Manager password ADIJM might not look trivial, but it is a trivial password when it is converted to numeric equivalent password 23456.
Refer to
“To enable Trivial Password Checking” on page 56 .
Incorrect password lock-out
In its Class of Service each mailbox is assigned a maximum number of incorrect password attempts. CallPilot records the number of incorrect attempts from the last time the mailbox was accessed successfully. If the number is exceeded, the mailbox owner is locked-out. The mailbox cannot be opened until the password is reset. Refer to
“To change a mailbox” on page 52
.
CallPilot Telephone Administration Guide
50 Chapter 3 Working with mailboxes
Password expiry
In its Class of Service each mailbox is assigned the maximum number of days a password remains active. If 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 they change the password. This announcement plays when the mailbox is opened after the password expires:
“Your current password has expired. You must change your password.
Please enter your new password and press £.”
After the new password is entered the mailbox returns to normal operation.
Warning: Set the Class of Service for password expiry to a low value so that mailbox owners must changed their password frequently. A mailbox with a Class of Service with a high or indefinite password expiry interval setting is vulnerable to unauthorized access.
Chapter 3 Working with mailboxes 51
Changing a mailbox
After you add a mailbox, you can change the mailbox:
• password
• extension
• Class of Service
• display name
• appearance in the Company Directory
• Message Waiting Notification
• outdial route
• Alternate extension
• Auto-Login
• Express Messaging Line
• Call Screening
• Park and Page
Note: Reset a password only if the mailbox owner forgets it or is “locked-out”. The password for a reset mailbox is 0000. Mailbox owners cannot access their messages until they change the default password. After you reset a mailbox password, tell the mailbox owner to change the default password as soon as possible. While the mailbox has the default password, the mailbox is vulnerable to unauthorized access.

Deleting a mailbox
Before you delete a mailbox, ensure the mailbox owner has listened to all their messages. When a mailbox is deleted, all messages stored in that mailbox are deleted and the mailbox is deleted automatically from the Company Directory and all Group Lists.
If you are deleting a mailbox associated with a CCR Tree, make sure you remove the mailbox from the CCR Tree first. If you do not remove the mailbox from the CCR Tree first, the message
Mbox in CCR appears on your display.
You cannot delete a mailbox if:
• it is currently in use
• it is used in a CLID table or a CCR Tree
• it is the System Administrator or the General Delivery Mailbox

About Group Lists
You can create a maximum of 99 Group Lists on your system. Each Group List can contain a maximum of 300 mailboxes. Before you add Group Lists, prepare a group mailbox member list.
This list must contain:
• the Group List name – maximum 16 characters long
• the mailbox numbers to include in the group
After you create 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.
CallPilot Telephone Administration Guide
64 Chapter 3 Working with mailboxes
About Sending Group List messages
You can send a Group List message whenever you want to notify a group of people about an event or notice that pertains to them. When a subscriber sends a message to the Group List, the subscriber does not receive the message.
For instructions on how to send a Group List message to a Voice Group List, see the CallPilot
Reference Guide.
About Group List Numbers
During system installation, a number from 0 to 9 (default 9) is assigned as the 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. Group List numbers are three digits long.
You can change the Group List leading digit. For more information on changing the Group List
leading digit, see “Group List leading digit” on page 167
.
The Group List number acts like a mailbox number when you leave a message for the mailboxes in the Group List. The table below shows two sample Group Lists.

Fax mailboxes for Business Communications Manager
If you have a Business Communications Manager system, various Fax mailbox options are available. To enable each option, you must have a keycode.
• Fax Messaging keycode enables the use of Fax in Subscriber Mailboxes.
• Fax Overflow keycode enables Fax Overflow
• Fax On Demand keycode enables Fax On Demand
• Fax Suite keycode enables Fax Messaging, Fax Overflow, and Fax On Demand.
For more information about keycodes, see the CallPilot Manager Set Up and Operation Guide .
Adding a Fax Overflow mailbox
If you use a Business Communications Manager system, and you have either the Fax Overflow or
Fax Suite keycode enabled, you can add a Fax Overflow mailbox.
A Fax Overflow mailbox is a mailbox for your fax machine. If the fax machine cannot answer the incoming fax call, the call is answered by CallPilot. The fax messages received are stored in the
Fax Overflow mailbox. When the fax machine is ready to accept fax calls, the system sends the stored fax messages to the fax machine. Add a Fax Overflow mailbox for each fax machine connected to your system.
If the retry limit is reached for a fax message, it is automatically sent to the General Delivery mailbox. You can then open the General Delivery mailbox and forward the fax message to a fax machine on your system. You should check the General Delivery mailbox regularly.
You can set up Off-Premise Message Notification to notify you when a message is received in the
General Delivery mailbox. For more information, see the CallPilot Reference Guide.

Recording a Fax On Demand mailbox greeting
You must record a greeting for each Fax On Demand mailbox. This greeting plays to callers who access the Fax On Demand mailbox. The maximum length of this greeting is designated by the
Class of Service.
Before you record the Fax On Demand mailbox greeting, prepare a greeting for each Fax On
Demand mailbox. In your greeting describe the documents available and tell callers how to retrieve them. If you use an alternate language on your system, record the Fax On Demand mailbox greeting in the alternate language.
An example of a greeting for a one-call method Fax On Demand mailbox is:
“Hello. You have reached Paddy’s Dance Studio fax information hotline. If you are calling from a fax machine telephone, you can receive information on class schedules and prices, registration
forms and upcoming special events. To receive class schedules and prices, press ⁄. To receive
registration forms, press ¤. To receive information about upcoming special events, press ‹.
After you have entered the required numbers, press Start on your fax machine.”
An example of a greeting for a two-call method Fax On Demand mailbox is:
“Hello. You have reached Paddy’s Dance Studio fax hotline. You can receive information on class schedules and prices, registration forms and upcoming special events. To receive class schedules and prices, select document 1. To receive registration forms, select document 2. To receive information about upcoming special events, select document 3. Enter the telephone number of the fax machine you wish to have the faxes sent to. If you are calling from outside the 403 area code,

Setting up the Auto Attendant
About the Auto Attendant
The Auto Attendant answers your company’s incoming phone 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 Table. You can specify which greetings play 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 Auto Attendant Menu offers a range of options that callers can select using the dialpad of their phone. If you want to offer a greater range of options and services for incoming calls, you can assign a Custom Call Routing (CCR) menu to play instead of the Auto Attendant
Menu. See
“Planning and designing a CCR Tree” on page 107
for information on creating a CCR menu.

Greeting Tables store the recordings played by the Auto Attendant to incoming callers. Business
Communications Manager (BCM) has ninety-nine Greeting Tables. CallPilot100/150 has four
Greeting Tables.
You can record a total of 250 Company Greetings with a BCM and 100 Company Greetings with
CallPilot 100/150. You can assign only four greetings to a Greeting Table at any one time. You can assign the same four greetings to each table, or you can assign unique greetings for each table.

Greeting Tables using the alternate language
If you use primary and alternate languages, 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 have one line assigned to the alternate language, assign the line to the Greeting Table that has greetings recorded in the alternate language. You can record greetings 5, 6, 7 and 8 in the alternate language and assign the greetings to Greeting Table 2 for line 2.
Chapter 4 Setting up the Auto Attendant 85
About Company Greetings
Before you record your Company Greetings, decide what type of greetings you want to use for the incoming phone lines, and what you want the greetings to say. There are four greeting times that reflect the Morning, Afternoon, Evening and Non-business hours. You can prepare four greetings, or you can use the same greeting for each time of day. As you record the greetings, number them from 1 to 4. An example greetings for each time of day:
1 Morning Greeting: “Good morning. You have reached Touchstone Marketing.”
2 Afternoon Greeting: “Good afternoon. You have reached Touchstone Marketing.”
3 Evening Greeting: “Good evening. You have reached Touchstone Marketing.”
4 Non-business Greeting: “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 plays as the Morning Greeting for Greeting Table 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, record the option · instruction in both languages.
For example, if you use English as your Primary Language and French as your Alternate
Language, your main greeting can be in English and the option · instruction can be in French.
For example:
“Good morning. This is Touchstone Marketing. To use our voice messaging service in French,
please press ·.”
Since the default Auto Attendant Menu prompt does not announce an Alternate Language option, in your greeting you must tell callers to press · to use the Alternate Language.
Company Greetings can be 0 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, see “Changing a mailbox” on page 51
.
After you decide what you want your greetings to say, practice recording them. Remember to speak slowly and clearly at a pace that is easy to understand.

To set up a Greeting Table you:
• can record a Custom prompt if you want to replace the Auto Attendant Menu
• assign Greetings for each time of day to the Greeting Tables
• assign a language preference if you use bilingual operation
• assign a Greeting Table Attendant
• assign a CCR Tree
• set your company’s Business Hours
Note: You must build a CCR Tree before you can assign it to a Greeting Table. For
information on building a CCR Tree, see “Building a CCR Tree” on page 111 .
Custom prompts

Language preference

Business hours
You can record a Custom prompt to replace the Auto Attendant Menu prompt. We recommend that you record prompts that are at least eight seconds long.
In the Custom prompt you can provide the caller with a list of options such as choosing the alternate language, accessing the Company Directory and reaching an operator. You can record a Primary and an Alternate Custom prompt for each Greeting Table.
For each Greeting Table you can assign what Greeting plays for each time of day.
You can set the language preference for each Greeting Table. This setting determines which language the Auto Attendant uses when answering incoming calls. If the CallPilot bilingual option is not enabled, you cannot set up a language preference.
A Greeting Table Attendant overrides the designated Operator. If the
Attendant does not answer, the call goes to the destination mailbox, or the
General Delivery Mailbox if not destination mailbox is assigned.
For each Greeting Table you can assign a CCR Tree for each time of day.
Assigning a CCR Tree to a Greeting Table is optional. You must build a
CCR Tree before you can assign it to a Greeting Table.
If you do not assign a CCR Tree to a Greeting Table the caller hears the greeting you assign and then hears the Auto Attendant menu.
If you assign a CCR Tree to a Greeting Table the caller hears the greeting you assign and then hears the CCR Tree menu.
Setting the Business Hours determines when each greeting is played for each Greeting Table. Business Hours are divided into Morning, Afternoon,
Evening, and Non-business categories for each of the seven days of the week for each Greeting Table.
To set up the days when your business is not open, set all the start times to
12:00 a.m. This ensures that the Non-business greeting plays throughout the day.
The Non-business greeting can also be turned on and off using the
Business Status feature. When the Business Status is set to Off, the
Non-business greeting continues to play until you set the Business Status to On.
Chapter 4 Setting up the Auto Attendant 89
Auto Attendant Time of Day
Blocking
Callers can search the Company Directory for a name, or enter an extension number, to direct their calls. The call rings at the appropriate telephone. You can send calls to the appropriate mailbox instead, depending on time of day. If you use Time of Day Blocking, when a caller dials an extension or name, the call goes to the corresponding mailbox. If no initialized mailbox exists for the extension the caller hears "The person you have called is not available" followed by the CCR menu voice prompt. If a fax machine calls the Automated Attendant or CCR tree at a time of day when you have enabled Time of Day Blocking, the call is transferred to the fax extension.
Menu Repeat key Callers can press a digit that lets them repeat the current menu prompt.
The Menu Repeat key takes priority over any CCR Tree or Auto Attendant menu items that are already configured, and applies to all CCR Trees and
Auto Attendant menus in the Greeting Table. If you enter 0 as the Menu
Repeat key, callers hear the previous menu and cannot access the Auto
Attendant or a CCR Tree menu.

Assigning the number of rings before CallPilot answers
You can assign the system to answer incoming calls after a specified number of rings. The number of rings ranges from 0 to 12. If you leave the number of rings at zero, the system answers immediately.
For lines equipped with Calling Line Identification (CLID), you must set the number of rings to two or more if you use analog lines. CLID is not provided until just prior to the second ring, so assigning the number of rings to 0 or 1 prevents CLID from being relayed. You do not have to set the number of rings to two or more for CLID if you use BRI/PRI or VoIP lines. For more information about the type of lines you use, contact your Norstar administrator.
Without CLID, personalized greetings, CLID Routing Table, and other features related to CLID do not work.

Setting up Touchtone Gate
With Touchtone Gate incoming calls can be routed more quickly.
With Touchtone Gate you can have the standard voice prompt play or you can record your own custom prompt. If you choose the standard prompt, the following prompt plays after your company greeting: “If you are calling from a tone dial telephone, please press ⁄ now. If you are a pulse dialing caller or if you are calling from a rotary dial phone, please hold and you will be transferred.”
Note: If you want to use a custom prompt, you must record it before you enable
Touchtone Gate. It is recommended that you use Greeting 1 as the custom Touchtone
Gate prompt. When Touchtone Gate is enabled, Greeting 1 is the default custom prompt.
For more information on recording Greetings, see
“Recording a Greeting” on page 86 .
When the tone for 1 is received, the call goes to the Auto Attendant or CCR Tree. If no tone is received, the call is sent back to the receptionist or designated Operator specified by the Greeting
Table. If the attendant is not available, the call is directed to the General Delivery Mailbox. If the
General Delivery Mailbox is not available, the call is disconnected.
The Touchtone Gate voice prompt is not presented to internal callers or callers who use Feature
981 or Feature 986.
If you disable Touchtone Gate, re-record the Company Greeting to include “If you are calling
from a tone dial telephone, please dial the extension number or press £ for the Company
Directory. If not, please hold and you will be transferred to the operator.”

About the CLID Routing Table
Set up a CLID Table to control how calls are routed based on the Caller Identification of callers.
To use a CLID Table, your incoming lines must be equipped with Caller Identification service.
If an incoming call has a CLID value that matches one of the entries in the CLID Table, the call is directed according to the CLID Routing Table rather than the Greeting Table. After the call is directed, the call disconnects or returns to the routing according to the Auto Attendant status. For more information on the Auto Attendant status see,
“Setting the Automated Attendant status” on page 165 .
You can set up the CLID Routing Table to direct frequent callers to a specific extension or mailbox, CCR Tree or Greeting Table.
You can also set up the CLID Routing Table if the user is calling VoIP or PRI trunks. The calls can be routed using OLI or ANI if sent. This is sent at the same time as the call, immediately, there is no waiting for additional rings.
A CLID Routing Table can have a maximum of 100 entries. Entries correspond to a unique phone number or a range of numbers. For example, if you enter 4165960196, the system routes an incoming call from this number to a specific destination. However, if you make 416 a table entry, all incoming calls with this prefix are routed to a specific destination.
Entries in the CLID Routing Table are sorted in numerical order, from the longest number to the shortest. An incoming call is routed by the longest CLID entry that matches the calling number.
For example:
Destination number Table entry
1 313
2
3
4
5
416598
416
5198853895
519
Incoming call example
Incoming number 3148888 is compared to all of the table entries, and does not match any destination.
Incoming number 4165981111 matches destination 2.
Incoming number 4169998888 matches destination 3.
Incoming number 5198853895 matches destination 4.
Incoming number 5198853896 matches destination 5.
For the CLID Routing Table to work, your company must:
• subscribe to CLID services from your local telephone company
• have the appropriate hardware for your systems (a CI Trunk cartridge for example)
To set up a CLID Routing Table you:
• enter a phone number
• assign a destination. A destination can be a Greeting Table, mailbox, extension, CCR Tree or a node on a Tree

Custom Call Routing
About Custom Call Routing
With Custom Call Routing (CCR) you can replace Automated Attendant menus with a CCR Tree that offers callers additional choices. Callers who reach a CCR Tree hear the CCR Home node immediately after the Company Greeting.
CCR Trees contain paths that callers navigate using their telephone dialpad. By selecting an option from the prompts callers can:
• hear an Information Message
• leave a message in a mailbox
• transfer to an extension or an external number
• go to a sub-menu
• have their call parked and a page generated

106 Chapter 5 Custom Call Routing
To build a CCR Tree you start by creating the options presented in the Home node. You can include up to eight options in the Home node. You record a prompt that informs callers of the Home node options. After you build a CCR Tree, you must assign it to a Greeting Table. You can build up to 99
CCR trees with a Business Communications Manager system and eight CCR trees with CallPilot
100/150.
Chapter 5 Custom Call Routing 107
Planning and designing a CCR Tree
To plan and design a CCR Tree you:
• determine the frequently-called departments and extensions that you can include in a CCR
Tree
• make a list of the goods and services you want to mention in Information messages
• create the mailboxes you want to add to a CCR Tree in which callers leave messages
• determine destination types
• configure park prefixes and page zones if you want to use Park and Page
• record the prompts and messages
By default, a caller can press · to hear prompts in an alternate language, or ‚ to reach an operator. Tell callers about these options as part of the Home node prompt.
Components of a CCR Tree
The Home node
After the Company Greeting, a caller hears the Home node. The Home node is the “top” of the
CCR Tree. When a caller selects an option from the Home node, they can access a sub-menu, leave a message, transfer to an extension or an external number, or play an Information Message.
A Home node can offer up to eight options. By default, 0 is reserved for reaching the Operator, and
9 offers the menu in the alternate language. A menu is a prompt that you record that presents a caller with a list of up to eight options.
The Home node is on Level 0. As sub-menus are added to one another, the caller progresses through the levels of the CCR Tree. You can create up to 11 levels (from 0 to 10).
An example of a Home node

For an example of Paths through a CCR Tree, see
“An example of a CCR Tree” on page 110 .
CallPilot Telephone Administration Guide
108 Chapter 5 Custom Call Routing
Information Messages
An Information Message is a message you record to tell callers about information about goods or services available from your company. You can tell callers about information such as sales, specials, company events, business hours, price lists, and shipping times. For example:
We’re pleased to announce the arrival of the new FaxEasy line of fax machines. FaxEasy is easy to operate and produces top quality fax images at an affordable price.
You must create an Information mailbox before you can add it to a CCR Tree.
The Home node can be an Information Message
You can program the Home node to play an Information Message. For example:
Come celebrate with us! It’s time for Ideal Office Machines’ annual get-to-know-our-customers picnic. The annual picnic is on the first Sunday of August from 1:00 to 5:00 p.m. in Thompson
Park. See you there.
If the Home node is an Information Message, the caller disconnects at the end of the message. You
Using an alternate language for the Home node prompt
If you record an alternate language Home node prompt, you must tell callers about the alternate language option. In the primary language Home node prompt, tell callers to press · if they want to hear the message in the alternate language. 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
the receptionist press ‚.
Sub-menus
A sub-menu is any menu that callers hear after the Home node. Sub-menus can lead to other sub-menus.
A sub-menu is a prompt that provides callers with another list of options. For example, from the
Home node a caller can press ‹to reach the Sales department and hear the sub-menu options:
To place an order press ⁄. To add your name to our mailing list, press ¤. To speak with a
Customer Service Representative press ‹. To speak with the receptionist press ‚.
Chapter 5 Custom Call Routing 109
Mailbox nodes
You can create Mailbox nodes to give callers a mailbox where they can leave a message.
For example:
You have reached the Ideal Office Machines Order Desk mailbox. After the tone, leave your name, address, telephone number, and the number of the item you want to order. Thank you.
Transfer nodes
You can create Transfer nodes to transfer callers to an extension or an external number.
Destination types
The destination is where callers go after they listen to an Information Message or leave a message in a mailbox. Each Information Message and Mailbox node must have a destination:
• Previous: returns the caller to the previous menu
• Home: returns the caller to the Home node
• Disconnect: disconnects the caller
You can assign destinations only to Information and Mailbox nodes. To see an example of how to
use destinations in a CCR Tree, see “An example of a CCR Tree” on page 110
.
Paths
A Path can be a series of menus, Information Messages, Mailboxes or Transfers. A Path number is the digit that callers press to go to the next level in a CCR Tree. For an example of how to use
Paths to route callers through a CCR Tree, see “An example of a CCR Tree” on page 110 .
Park and Page node
A Park and Page node parks a call and announces it to a paging zone, overhead paging system or both. Depending on the configuration you select, the page can be repeated until the parked call is answered. An unanswered call returns to the CCR Tree.

Note: To minimize the potential of service disruptions, avoid working on CCR Trees during periods of peak activity. Callers can experience answering delays while you are working on a CCR Tree.
To build a CCR Tree
1 Create the Home node. The Home node can be either a Menu node or an Information node.
If the Home node is an Information node:
• record an Information message
If the Home node is a Menu node:
• create the sub-nodes. The sub-nodes can be:
— Menu sub-nodes
— Information nodes
— Mailbox nodes
— Park and Page nodes
— Transfer nodes

Adding nodes to the Home node
If you create a CCR Tree with a Home menu node, and you have more choices than you can conveniently fit in the Home menu, you can create sub-nodes. To create sub-node menus, add a
Menu node to your Home menu node.
If the Home node is an Information node, you cannot add a sub-node and the call disconnects automatically after the Information message plays.
After you determine how many options to offer in a menu, you must determine where each option directs the caller.
After you assign a Menu sub-node, create another set of nodes in the next level of the tree. The nodes can be another Menu node, an Information node, a Transfer node, a Park and Page node or a
Mailbox node. You can assign up to eight nodes to each menu.
A Menu sub-node gives callers single-digit access to another list of options. For example, if your
Home node menu is:
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 ‚.

Adding a Mailbox node
Adding a mailbox node gives callers a mailbox where they can leave a message or listen to an
Information message, depending on the mailbox type. You create a Mailbox node by giving it a
Path number and assigning a mailbox number. You can add a Mailbox node to a CCR Tree at any time.
A mailbox cannot receive messages until it is initialized. For information on initializing

About transfers to external numbers
When CallPilot transfers a call using a CCR external transfer, it uses two lines. 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 caller connects to the external telephone number.
To optimize the use of external lines, the incoming line can be used to make the external transfer.
This type of transfer is called a Link transfer.
Not all phone lines allow Link transfers. Ask your telephone service provider if your lines support
Link transfers before you program CallPilot to use Link transfers.
To perform a Link transfer for a CCR external transfer you must press £ before the telephone number. For example, for the telephone number:
£fififi⁄¤‹› fififi⁄¤‹› is the telephone number dialed
For information on preventing unauthorized calls using outdial, see

Adding a Park and Page node
A Park and Page node parks a call and announces it to a paging zone, overhead paging system or both. The page can be repeated until the parked call is answered or the timeout occurs. Calls that are unanswered due to the page being unanswered return to the CCR Tree.
How Park and Page works
Callers who access a Park and Page node hear the “One moment please” voice prompt. The caller cannot interrupt this prompt by pressing other digits.
How the call is handled depends on how you set up Park and Page. If you define a Transfer DN and select Transfer Before Page, the call is transferred to the Transfer DN. If the call is not answered at the Transfer DN, the caller hears the “One moment please” prompt and the call is parked.
Parked callers hear hold tone or music on hold, depending on your system configuration. CallPilot pages to the appropriate paging zone, overhead speaker system, or both. If another call is being paged, CallPilot waits for five seconds and retries the page. CallPilot retries every five seconds until the paging facility is not busy or the park timeout expires, or the caller disconnects, whichever occurs first. If the call is still unanswered, CallPilot unparks the call, plays the “The person you have called is not available” prompt and the call returns to the CCR Tree.
The people who are paged hear the paging prompt and the park string, for example, “Electronics, please pick up...101”. The park string is played in the standard voice prompts, or customized digits, if you have recorded them. See the CallPilot Manager Set Up and Operation Guide for how to record customized digits. Unanswered parked calls wait for the retry interval as defined in the park and page node's properties, and then the page is retried. CallPilot does not retry the page after the park timeout is reached.
Note: If you configure a CCR Tree with a Park and Page node with the Transfer
Before Page feature, and then program a telephone with Call Forward No Answer
(CFNA), you must ensure the number of rings for CFNA is less than the number of rings for Transfer Callback.
CFNA takes precedence over Transfer Callback if it has a lower number of rings.
If you set CFNA with fewer rings that Transfer Callback, the call goes to voice mail instead of to the Page. If you set CFNA with more rings than Transfer
Callback, the call goes to page when the Transfer Callback time is reached.
Nortel suggests if you use a telephone for Transfer Before Page, then you should not use the CFNA or Call Forward All Calls (CFAC) features.

Testing a CCR Tree
After you a build a CCR Tree and assign it to a Greeting Table, test the CCR Tree. To test the CCR
Tree, call the company number and test each node.
Check that:
• the Home node routes the call as designated
• each transfer routes the caller to the intended destination
• each prompt has correct information
• messages are courteous and easy to understand
One button access to CCR trees
After you create a CCR Tree, you can program one-button access to any of its nodes. To do this, you create a feature code for the tree node you wish to access at the push of a button. If you need to access several nodes at the push of a button, you must create a range of feature codes and assign each feature code to the different CCR Tree Nodes.
Only nodes one to eight within trees one to seven can be accessed with this feature.
1 Set the feature code range and assign the number of feature codes to the different CCR trees: a Using a telset, access F983. Refer to
“To set the feature code range and numbers” on page
or b In CallPilot Manager, access the Auto Attendant properties page. For more information, see the CallPilot Manager Set Up and Operation Guide.
2 Build your CCR tree.
3 Program memory buttons on telephone set, using F*3 to correspond with the feature codes assigned in the Auto Attendant properties page. Refer to the CallPilot Reference Guide to program memory buttons for feature codes.
The three-digits include the feature digit, the tree number, and node within the tree. The feature codes must not be the same as any other application. They must correspond to F9xy where:
• x represents the tree number
• x must be to 1 to 7 inclusive and is not 0, 8 or 9
• y represents the node number
• y is between 1and 8 inclusive
The range of feature codes are: 911 to 918, 921 to 928, 931 to 938, 941 to 948, 951 to 958, 961 to
968, and 971 to 978.
For example:
• F941 sporting goods
• F942 meat department
CallPilot Telephone Administration Guide
132 Chapter 6 Working with CCR Trees
• F943 customer service
When F9xy is used, Auto Attendant:
1 transfers the call at the user's set to the voice mail DN and immediately answers the call at that
DN.
2 places the caller at node y in tree x as if the user had pressed digit x at the Home menu node.
For example, if the node is a Park and Page node then the park and page is performed. A call comes into Customer Service and the caller wants to talk to someone in Sporting Goods. The
Customer Service representative presses the preprogrammed button on the phone (F941). The system parks the call, and a page plays "Sporting Goods, please pick up XXX." XXX is the park code, for example 101 or 102.
The Sporting Good representative presses Intercom and XXX to pick up the call.
The example is for a Park and Page node. The same process occurs for all types of nodes.

Note: You can configure a maximum of 56 customized feature codes for the
CCR trees. The feature codes are allocated sequentially.
For example, to program 16 feature codes (F911 through F918, and F921 through
F928), enter 911 as the Starting CCR tree feature code and enter 16 as the Number of CCR tree feature codes.
You can enter the maximum of 56 feature codes if the starting feature code is 911.
If the starting feature code is a higher value than 911, the available number of feature codes decreases. Any feature code values that come before the starting feature code that you enter will be unavailable to you.
For example, by using a starting feature code of F941, you will only be able to allocate a maximum of 32 feature codes. If you require more, you will need to choose a lower value feature code.
If you do not initialize functionality for a feature code within the range of features codes, it is still included as part of the allocated range.
For example, if you do not initialize F912 and F913, they are still reserved for the one button CCR tree feature since they are included in the range of 16 features codes you entered.
If you enter an invalid number, you will receive an error message.

Broadcast and Information messages
About Broadcast messages
You can send Broadcast messages if you need to send a message to every initialized mailbox on your phone system. Broadcast messages play on all mailboxes initialized with CallPilot. You can send a Broadcast message to announce meetings, special company events, and reminders. Sending a Broadcast message eliminates recording and sending the same message several times. You can change the Broadcast message address.
As the System Administrator, you are the only person who can send Broadcast messages.
In order to send a Broadcast message, you must know the Broadcast message address.
• If you use the CallPilot interface ·‚‚ is the default Broadcast message address
• If you use the Norstar Voice Mail interface · is the default Broadcast message address
Note: Broadcast messages are not sent to Information or General Delivery mailboxes.
To send a Broadcast message you must follow the procedures that apply to the interface you use.
For information about checking what interface you use, see the CallPilot Reference Guide.

Information mailbox messages
Your business or departments within your business can use Information mailboxes to provide callers with messages and announcements. You or another person responsible for the Information mailbox can record and update the Information mailbox message.
You can use Information mailbox messages to:
• announce sales
• provide product lists
• announce special events
Make it easy for callers to access Information mailbox messages by mentioning the Information mailbox in the Automated Attendant, or by asking the operator to route enquiries to the
Information mailbox.
Callers cannot leave messages in an Information mailbox. Callers automatically disconnect after they listen to an Information mailbox message.
About recording an Information mailbox message
Before you record an Information mailbox message, you must determine what the message includes. As you prepare the message, be sure to include important times and dates.
For example: “Paddy’s Dance Studio proudly presents an extravaganza of dance. The entertainment begins at 8:00 pm on the fourth of July. Toddlers tap is in the White Room. Folk dance is in the Green Room. Classical ballet is in the Pink Room. Contemporary jazz is in the Blue
Room. The studio and recital rooms are located at 222 Main Street.”
Write the message down and practice reading it aloud. When you are confident the message includes everything you want it to, record the message. If you use a phone system with bilingual capability, you must record the Information mailbox message in both languages.
An Information mailbox message can be either a Primary or an Alternate mailbox greeting.
Use the procedure
“Recording an Information mailbox message” on page 153 to record an
Information mailbox message.
The messages you record must be longer than three seconds. The system times out after five seconds of silence.

Dialing Translation
About Dialing Translation
Dialing translation is a process by which the number of an incoming call from a public network is translated by 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 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 system.
The business telephone system also consults the restrictions and schedules tables prior to dialing the number.
The Dialing Translation Tables are necessary only for the Reply feature. CallPilot 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 the CallPilot in the Dialing Translation Table. If the leading digits of the telephone number match a Dialing Translation Table Input value (the number CallPilot searches for in the Dialing Translation Table), the Output value is substituted for the Input value.
This change results in a telephone 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 telephone numbers do not need to be changed before dialing. CallPilot functions without a Dialing
Translation Table.
Phone number Translation
The Dialing Translation Table must define each possible case where a change is needed to allow the number to be dialed 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.
CallPilot Telephone Administration Guide
180 Chapter 9 Dialing Translation
Examples of Dialing Translation Tables
The following 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 * after a value signifies any digits in the telephone number that remain to be dialed. CallPilot automatically adds the * after every Input and Output value. The longest input value that matches the CLID information is used for translation.
A telephone number either matches or does not match a specific Input value.

Explanation
The Table does not attempt to translate international telephone numbers.
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.

Explanation
The Table does not attempt to translate international telephone numbers.
Due to the site location, some calls can be dialed as local 7 digit numbers.
All other 206 numbers require 11 digit long distance dialing.
These 360 numbers can be dialed as 10 digit local numbers...
... but all other 360 numbers are 11 digits long distance numbers.
All numbers starting with other than 011, 206 and 360 are long distance and have 1 added as a prefix.
Chapter 9 Dialing Translation 181
An example of a Dialing Translation Table from a site in Mountainview, California
INPUT OUTPUT Explanation
The Dialing Translation Table is empty. The local network in
Mountainview supports 10 digit national dialing with recognized long distance charging.
In situations like the Mountainview example, there is no need to build a
Dialing Translation Table.
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 Norstar system. For systems that are behind a PBX or PABX, typically in North America · must be prefixed to the telephone number. For systems attached to Central Office (CO) lines no digits need to be prefixed.
Dialing Translation properties
Dialing Translation is controlled by four properties:
Long distance access code
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
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, no area code is prefixed to the telephone number.
Access code
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 your system 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
If set to N (no), the caller must manually trim the Caller ID message information for the number to be dialed on the local network. 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.

Troubleshooting CallPilot
This chapter describes problems that can occur when you operate CallPilot, and possible solutions.
The Auto Attendant does not answer calls
• Verify that you have assigned lines to the Greeting Table.
• All the channels can be busy. Try calling back. Your call is answered when a channel is available.
• If the channels are frequently busy, it indicates there is too much activity. Contact your advice line or sales representative.
CLID information is lost or CLID routing is not routing calls
Make sure that the Auto Attendant is set to answer after two or more rings. If you use analog lines,
CLID information is not available until after the second ring. For information about setting the number of rings, see
“Configuring line answering” on page 94
.
The Auto Attendant transfers some callers to the General Delivery Mailbox
The system requires a tone dial telephone signal and a minimum voice level. The system waits for a caller to respond. If a response is not received, the call transfers to the receptionist or designated
Operator. If they are not available, the call transfers to the General Delivery Mailbox. Calls also transfer to the General Delivery Mailbox if an extension does not have a mailbox.
For the system to transfer calls correctly, each mailbox must have a unique extension number. To verify that mailboxes have a unique extension number, print the Directory Report. You can print reports using CallPilot Manager. For more information see the CallPilot Manager Set Up and
Operation Guide.
Greetings play at the wrong time of day
There are four possible causes for this problem:
1
The Business Status is not set to open. Refer to “Setting the Business Status” on page 162 for
information.
2 The wrong greeting numbers are assigned to the Greeting Table.
3 The business hours are set incorrectly.
4 The system time and date are incorrect for your telephone system.
Greetings play on the wrong line
Verify that your lines are assigned correctly. If you find the information is incorrect, you must reassign lines to the Greeting Table. Refer to
“Configuring line answering” on page 94
.
CallPilot Telephone Administration Guide
190 Chapter 10 Troubleshooting CallPilot
A telephone cannot be forwarded to the system
If you try to forward your incoming calls to the system and the display shows Forward denied , it is possible that you are forwarding to the wrong extension number. Use Feature 985 to display the correct extension number for the system, and compare this number to the extension that you are trying to forward your telephone to.
Feature 981 produces a Log prompt on the telephone display
Whenever the Log prompt appears on the display, it can be caused by the telephone not having an assigned mailbox. If the extension does not have an assigned mailbox, CallPilot requests both a mailbox number and a password.
A subscriber cannot reply to an external caller or use Off-premise Message Notification or
Outbound Transfer
An Outdial method must be assigned before a subscriber can reply to an external caller using the
Reply feature, or use Off-premise Message Notification or Outbound Transfer. Before a subscriber can reply to a message from an external caller, an Outdial method must be assigned.
The default for Outdial method is None. Until you assign a line, line pool or route as the Outdial method for a mailbox, a subscriber can use the Reply feature to return calls from internal extensions only, and Off-premise Message Notification and Outbound Transfer for internal extensions only. Outbound Transfer capability is part of a subscriber’s Class of Service. Refer to
“Class of Service values” on page 29
for the Class of Service values for Outbound Transfer.
Telephone extension and mailbox numbers are different lengths
The mailbox number length must match the extension number length assigned to the system. If the extension number length is changed on the system, you must re-initialize and reprogram CallPilot.
The date and time are wrong
If the date and time are wrong, you must reset them through the telephone system. The CallPilot date and time is taken from the telephone system programming. For additional information, see your system documentation.
You cannot access a line or a line pool
Check that your system supports the feature you are trying to use. If calls are not completed when you try to reply to a CLID message or reach an Off-premise Message Notification number, ensure
Outdialing is assigned, available and correctly configured. For more information see your system documentation.
Personalized greetings do not play
Personalized greetings do not play if a telephone is on Call Forward Busy or Call Forward All
Calls to the CallPilot extension number. In these cases, Personalized greetings depend on the
CLID information that is received prior to the second ring if you use analog lines. Personalized greetings do not play if the Auto Attendant is set to answer at 0 or 1 ring. The Primary or Alternate personal mailbox greeting plays instead. Change the number of rings to 2 or greater.
Chapter 10 Troubleshooting CallPilot 191
Mailboxes do not accept messages
A mailbox does not accept messages if:
• it is not initialized
• CallPilot message storage capacity is full
Messages are removed from a mailbox
If messages are removed, check the message retention period in the mailbox Class of Service. You
Service to a Class of Service with a longer message retention period, see
“Changing a mailbox” on page 51 .
A subscriber 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, see
. A mailbox owner cannot access their mailbox
A subscriber cannot access their mailbox
Each mailbox is assigned a maximum number of incorrect password attempts in its Class of
Service. CallPilot records the number of incorrect attempts from the last time the mailbox was successfully accessed. If the number is exceeded the mailbox owner is locked-out and hears the message, “This mailbox is locked to prevent unauthorized access. Contact your administrator
for assistance.” The mailbox cannot be opened again until the you reset the password. To reset a password, see
“Changing a mailbox” on page 51
.
A mailbox is not in the Company Directory
Verify the mailbox is initialized. If the mailbox is not initialized, it does not appear in the
Company Directory. Verify the Company Directory setting for the mailbox is set to Yes. Refer to
“Changing a mailbox” on page 51 .
Calls are directed to the wrong mailbox
Verify the correct extension is assigned to the mailbox.
A mailbox cannot be added to CallPilot
Ensure the mailbox is not already added. Mailbox numbers must be unique. Check that the number of mailboxes on your system has not been exceeded. CallPilot 150 can store a maximum of 300 subscriber mailboxes. CallPilot 100 can store a maximum of 40 subscriber mailboxes. A Business
Communications Manager system can store up to 1000 mailboxes.
CallPilot Telephone Administration Guide
192 Chapter 10 Troubleshooting CallPilot
You cannot enter a name for a mailbox
You must enter names as last name, then first name or initial. All names must include a comma (,) that separates the last name from the first name or initial. The maximum length of the name, including the comma, is 16 characters. Refer to
“Changing a mailbox” on page 51 .
Incomplete messages are received in a mailbox, or “message delivered” plays while recording a message or a CallPilot session ends unexpectedly
These situations can be caused by a problem called Talk Off. Talk Off occurs if CallPilot interprets certain voice patterns as Dual Tone Multi Frequency (DTMF) dialing tones. DTMF dialing tones are produced when buttons are pressed on a touch dial telephone. When you press a button on the dialpad, CallPilot receives a DTMF dialing tone and performs the correct operation. For example, after you enter your mailbox password, you can press the pound(£) button. The DTMF dialing tone sent to CallPilot indicates you are finished entering your password.
Some voice patterns are the same as DTMF dialing tones. This can make CallPilot function incorrectly. For example, if in the middle of a message you say something that sounds like a
DTMF dialing tone created by pressing the pound(£) button, the recording session ends.
Correcting Talk Off requires adjustments to your CallPilot system. Call your advice line for more information.
You cannot create a Group List
The maximum number of Group Lists that can be created is 99. The CallPilot 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 CallPilot. For instructions on resetting CallPilot, see
“About resetting CallPilot” on page 155
.
CallPilot does not accept a Path number for a CCR Tree
If you enter an incorrect digit while you are assigning a Path number, an error message appears.
The possible causes are:
• You entered an incorrect Path number. You can use only numbers 1 through 8 as Path numbers.
Do not use 0 or 9 as Path numbers.
• You tried to exceed the maximum number of levels.
• You are trying to access a level of a Tree whose previous level does not include a Menu node.
You must add a Menu node to the first level to let callers move to the second level.
A CCR Tree cannot be deleted
A Tree cannot be deleted while it is in use. You must disable the Tree before you can delete it.
Note: For more information about deleting a CCR Tree, see
“Deleting a CCR Tree” on page 135 .
Chapter 10 Troubleshooting CallPilot 193
Interruptions while building or changing a CCR Tree
If you press ® by mistake, if there is a power outage, if the system times out while you are working on a CCR Tree, or if you exit the system without saving the CCR Tree you are working on, the CCR Tree data is saved to Tree 9. Tree 9 is designated as the Workspace for building or changing a Tree. The contents of Tree 9 are overwritten when you start to edit another CCR Tree.
A mailbox is full
Mailboxes have a Never Full Mailbox feature, which lets callers leave messages in the mailbox, even if the mailbox is “full”. Messages are stored, but they cannot be accessed until the mailbox owner deletes some of the messages in the mailbox.
If more message time is required, you can change the mailbox Class of Service. For more
information, see “Changing a mailbox” on page 51 .
Deleting a mailbox
You cannot delete a mailbox that is used in a CCR Tree. If you delete a Mailbox node, any incoming messages for the Mailbox node are instead sent to the General Delivery Mailbox.
For more information about the General Delivery Mailbox, see “General Delivery Mailbox” on page 24 .

CallPilot configuration tips
This chapter describes system configuration enhancements that maximize the efficiency of
CallPilot.
Delayed answering by the Auto Attendant
The Auto Attendant can answer any call on specified Central Office (CO) telephone lines after a specified number of rings. CallPilot answers incoming calls if the Installer programs CallPilot to be the prime telephone for one or more designated CO lines. The Delay Ring Transfer (DRT) feature transfers unanswered calls on these lines to the Auto Attendant after the specified number of rings.
Note: DRT applies only to incoming calls on the assigned line. It does not affect 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) forwarded to CallPilot features, incoming calls on the incoming telephone line are directed to the 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 CallPilot, incoming calls transfer to the receptionist’s mailbox. This is also true if the receptionist’s telephone is CFNA to CallPilot and 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 CallPilot, incoming calls on this line are not affected.
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 CallPilot, all incoming calls go to the mailbox of the call forwarded telephone.
If two or more of these telephones are CFAC to CallPilot, all calls go to the mailbox of the telephone that is connected to the lowest numbered station port on the system.
CallPilot Telephone Administration Guide
198 Chapter 11 CallPilot configuration tips
Using Call Forward All Calls (CFAC) and Call Forward No
Answer (CFNA)
If a subscriber does not want to take any calls for a period of time, they can forward their telephone to their mailbox using CFAC. When forwarded, all calls to the mailbox owner’s extension transfer to their mailbox.
To call forward to a mailbox, press ≤·°›.
To cancel call forward:
Press ≤£› or press CANCEL or press ∞
Note: If you use CFAC you cannot have any lines or answer DNs programmed to ring at your set because these calls will go to your mailbox.
Chapter 11 CallPilot configuration tips 199
How to set up CallPilot for different businesses
There are several ways to set up CallPilot in your company. How you set up CallPilot depends on what telephone system, and how many CO lines you use.
Here are examples of CallPilot configurations for a small and a medium company, and some useful application tips.
CallPilot for a small business
On Your Toes Dance Studio
CallPilot is the Call Forward No Answer (CFNA) extension for all the telephones in the office.
This means that any call that is not answered by a mailbox owner transfers to their mailbox.
Each mailbox owner has buttons programmed on their display telephone for the CallPilot Leave
Message feature (≤·°‚) and the Open Mailbox feature (≤·°⁄). This gives easy access to these frequently used features.
Employees have a mailbox number that is the same as their telephone extension. All mailbox owners have initialized their mailbox and recorded a Personal Mailbox Greeting.
The central receptionist
The On Your Toes Dance Studio’s receptionist handles all calls from the studio’s published telephone number. If the receptionist does not answer the telephone within four rings, the Auto
Attendant answers the call. The receptionist is also the 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 telephone number is 555-2468. The studio subscribes to custom calling services from the telephone company. This number forwards to any available
(non-busy) line in a group of six lines. All six lines appear on the receptionist telephone.
CallPilot is the Prime Set for each of the six lines. The Delayed Ring Transfer feature (DRT) to
Prime is set to Yes, and the DRT Delay is set to four. DRT forwards unanswered lines to the Auto
Attendant.
Note: Delayed Ring Transfer is a telephone system-wide call handling feature. All lines programmed as DRT to Prime are forwarded after four rings. This is done by setting the
Prime Set of the line to the CallPilot extension.
CallPilot Telephone Administration Guide
200 Chapter 11 CallPilot configuration tips
Greeting Table 1 for On Your Toes
Greeting 1
“Good morning. You have reached On Your Toes Dance Studio. The studio is closed at this time. Stay on the line to leave a message.”
The CallPilot voice prompts play after the greeting. You can make
Company Greetings up to five minutes long.
Greeting 2
“Good afternoon. You have reached On Your Toes Dance Studio.”
Greeting 3
Greeting 4
“Good evening. You have reached On Your Toes Dance Studio.”
“You have reached On Your Toes Dance Studio. The studio is closed at this time. Stay on the line to leave a message.”
CallPilot uses Greeting Table 1 to answer calls after four rings. Depending on the time of day, different recorded greetings play for Morning, Afternoon, and Evening. When the Business Status is No, the Non-business Hours Greeting plays.
Note: Lines must be assigned to a Greeting Table before the Greeting Table greetings are used.
The Costume Room
The Costume Room has one telephone with a CallPilot mailbox. Calls are directed to the Costume
Room Attendant by the receptionist or the Auto 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.”
Chapter 11 CallPilot configuration tips 201
CallPilot for a medium business
Bridge Stone Engineering
CallPilot is assigned as the Call Forward No Answer (CFNA) extension for all telephones in the office. This means that any call that is not answered by a mailbox owner transfers to their mailbox.
Subscribers have buttons programmed on their display telephone for the CallPilot Leave Message
(≤·°‚) and Open Mailbox (≤·°⁄). This gives easy access to these frequently used features.
Employees have a mailbox number that is the same as their telephone extension. Subscribers have initialized their mailbox and recorded a Personal Mailbox Greeting.
When the receptionist is not available, Custom Call Routing routes callers along a call path.
The central receptionist
Bridge Stone’s receptionist handles all calls from the published telephone number. When the receptionist is unable to answer the telephone within four rings, the Auto Attendant answers the call. The receptionist is also the designated Operator. When 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 telephone number is 555-1234. All lines appear on the receptionist’s telephone. CallPilot is the Prime Set for each of the six lines. The Delayed Ring Transfer (DRT) feature forwards unanswered lines to the Auto Attendant.
Note: Delayed Ring Transfer is a telephone system-wide call handling feature. All lines programmed as DRT to Prime are forwarded after four rings. This is done by setting the
Prime Set of the line to the CallPilot extension.
CallPilot Telephone Administration Guide
202 Chapter 11 CallPilot configuration tips
Greeting Table 1 for Bridge Stone Engineering
Greeting 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 2
“Good afternoon. You have reached Bridge Stone Engineering.”
Greeting 3
Greeting 4
“Good evening. You have reached Bridge Stone Engineering.”
“You have reached Bridge Stone Engineering. The office is closed at this time. Stay on the line to leave a message.”
CallPilot 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 Non-business Hours Greeting plays.
Greeting Table 1 answers calls using greetings 1 through 4. Greetings 1 through 4 play unless you assign different 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.
After the Company Greeting the CCR Home Menu voice prompt plays. This menu gives callers a list of single digit options. After callers listen to the Home Menu, they select an option by pressing a number on any tone dial telephone. 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 receptionists, two customer service representatives, two sales agents, a sales manager, and a customer service manager. CallPilot is set up to answer all calls. Callers can select 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 the manager’s telephone. The receptionist’s phone is CFNA to CallPilot.
Chapter 11 CallPilot configuration tips 203
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 mailbox. If the caller wants to leave a message, the receptionist transfers the caller using the
CallPilot Transfer feature ≤·°fl.
When CallPilot is set up this way, CFNA for the manager’s set is not used. The receptionist answers the manager’s calls and uses CallPilot’s Transfer feature to transfer the caller to the manager’s telephone. The CallPilot 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.
Shipping and Receiving
The employees in this department share the same telephone. This department uses one telephone line that is assigned to the loading dock. This extension 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. The receptionist’s phone is CFNA to CallPilot.
CallPilot Telephone Administration Guide
204 Chapter 11 CallPilot configuration tips
Feature Compatibility
This section describes how system features interact with CallPilot.
ATA 2 and ASM
One or more analog single-line sets can be connected to telephone system using an Analog
Terminal Adapter or an Analog Station Module. This type of set works with DTMF tones to allow access to CallPilot options through the dialpad only. Rotary dials cannot be used internally with
CallPilot.
Answer buttons
For information about Answer Buttons, see
“Ringing Answer button” on page 197 .
Autodial (internal)
All subscribers on the CallPilot system can program the CallPilot extension. Press
≤·°fito view the CallPilot extension.
You can use autodial for Busy Lamp Field (BLF) indication for all voice channels. This allows
CallPilot channels to be monitored during busy periods.
Automatic Set Relocation
Must be set to No when changing the CallPilot extension and connections between the telephone system.
Call Forward All Calls (CFAC)
Any ringing line or answer button appearance on a set forwards to the extension specified by the call forwarded set. If CFAC is used a caller immediately transfers to the mailbox of the CFAC extension.
Call Forward No Answer (CFNA)
Any ringing line appearance on a set can be CFNA to the extension specified after the programmed number of rings.
CFNA is not applicable in an Auto Attendant application. If Delayed Ring Transfer (DRT) is being used for CallPilot answering, ensure that the number of rings for CFNA on any of the sets with ringing appearances of lines to be answered by the Auto Attendant 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 CallPilot. If a caller calls the extension and there is no answer, the caller cannot use the Camp On Feature. Ask the caller to wait a few moments and try the CallPilot extension again.
Chapter 11 CallPilot configuration tips 205
Delayed Ring Transfer (DRT)
To use CallPilot as a secondary line answering position, set DRT:
1 Assign the CallPilot extension as the prime extension for the specified lines that are to be DRT to CallPilot.
2 Set DRT to Yes.
3 Set DRT Delay from one to ten rings.
4 Assign a Greeting Table to each line that is to be DRT to CallPilot.
5 Set the CallPilot Answer option to No for the lines that are DRT to CallPilot.
Note: If DRT is used for CallPilot Answering, and telephones with a ringing line appearance forward to CallPilot, a caller immediately transfers to the mailbox of the
CFAC set.
Disconnect Supervision
With Line Disconnect Supervision, if a caller hangs up after reaching the Auto Attendant,
CallPilot immediately breaks the connection. Disconnect Supervision results in fewer blank messages in the General Delivery Mailbox and prevents CallPilot ports from being occupied. You must use Disconnect Supervision if you use Outbound Transfers.
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 Auto Attendant transfers the caller to the mailbox associated with the telephone.
Feature timeout
CallPilot has a time-out of up to two minutes. This feature is independent of the CallPilot 100/150 or the Business Communications Manager system time-out.
Hold
You cannot put a session on hold. If the hold button is pressed during a CallPilot programming session, CallPilot disconnects, except if Automatic Hold is used to transfer a caller to a mailbox or an extension. CallPilot ignores Held Line Reminder tones.
Intercom Numbers
Inside callers can access CallPilot by pressing an intercom button and entering the extension.
Access to the CallPilot 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.
CallPilot Telephone Administration Guide
206 Chapter 11 CallPilot configuration tips
Language choice
The CallPilot language capability is independent of the telephone system’s language selection for a set. CallPilot language availability is determined by the Class of Service assigned to a mailbox.
Note: The CallPilot language option is enabled after a subscriber starts a session.
Lines
If a line programmed to be answered by the Auto Attendant appears on a set, it rings when
CallPilot transfers the call. If a line programmed to be answered by the Auto Attendant does not appear on a set, a call is transferred to an intercom line appearing on the intercom button.
Message Send/Reply/Waiting
Any message notification left by an internal caller can be replied to using the CallPilot message reply options. After listening to a message, a subscriber can forward a copy of the message to another mailbox or call the message sender.
Note: If a subscriber replies to a message from a one line display phone, they must press · after listening to the message.
Night Service
When Night Service is activated and the CallPilot prime extension is specified as the Night Ring extension for an incoming line, a caller immediately hears the CallPilot Auto Attendant.
Prime Set
When you configure lines on your system, you can designate CallPilot as the prime extension.
CallPilot answers with the Auto Attendant.
Private line
When private lines are assigned to a set programmed to ring, CFNA to CallPilot is answered by the set’s mailbox. If a private line is the only appearance on that set, CallPilot transfers calls through the intercom button.
Note: If the private line is not programmed to appear but not to ring, CFNA is not activated.
Ringing line preference
Lines programmed as “Ring only” to telephone extensions are recognized by CallPilot. Features such as CFNA and CFAC to CallPilot are not recognized by non-ringing lines programmed to a
telephone extension. Refer to “Call Forward No Answer (CFNA)” on page 204 , “Call Forward All
Calls (CFAC)” on page 204 and “Answer buttons” on page 204
.
Chapter 11 CallPilot configuration tips 207
Service Modes
With the Service Modes feature you can program the telephone system to forward all incoming calls to CallPilot during specific time periods such as lunch time or non-business hours. CallPilot answers with the Auto Attendant.
Transfer Callback
Calls through the Auto Attendant that transfer to an extension without CFNA are routed by Transfer
Callback to CallPilot after the designated number of rings. The CFNA/Transfer Callback feature is programmed so that the fewest rings take precedence.

Administration
The tasks involved in setting up and maintaining Mailboxes, Greetings, CCR Trees and
CallPilot configuration.
Alternate extensions
When a caller dials an extension that is programmed to have one or more alternate extensions, CallPilot 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 Subscriber mailboxes.
Alternate Greeting
A greeting that is recorded for a Personal Mailbox and played only on exceptional occasions, such as absence.
Alternate Language
A secondary language used for greetings and prompts. To use an Alternate Language, you must enable the Bilingual Option. The Alternate Language cannot be the same as the
Primary Language.
Attendant sign ON/OFF
A task performed by a company Receptionist or designated Operator that indicates to
CallPilot when an Operator is available to answer calls.
Auto Attendant
The CallPilot answering service that answers incoming calls with a Company Greeting, plays a menu of options to a caller, and performs call routing functions in response to a caller’s selections.
Auto Attendant Time of Day Blocking
Callers can search the Company Directory for a name, or enter an extension number, to direct their calls. The call rings at the appropriate telephone. You can send calls to the appropriate mailbox instead, depending on time of day. If you use Time of Day Blocking, when a caller dials an extension or name, the call goes to the corresponding mailbox. If no initialized mailbox exists for the extension the caller hears "The person you have called is not available" followed by the CCR menu voice prompt. If a fax machine calls the
Automated Attendant or CCR tree at a time of day when you have enabled Time of Day
Blocking, the call is transferred to the fax extension.
Blind Call
An incoming call where the caller transfers directly to the extension requested.
CallPilot Telephone Administration Guide
214
Broadcast Message
A message that can be sent by the System Administrator. This type of message plays in all initialized Subscriber Mailboxes.
Business Status

See Custom Call Routing.
Channel configuration
The number of channels on the CallPilot unit that are designated for outdialing.
Class of Service
A Class of Service defines the values for the special features of a Mailbox. When adding a mailbox, the System Administrator programs several special features at once by choosing the number from the Class of Service table that provides the level of service most appropriate for the subscriber.
A mailbox cannot be added without a Class of Service.
Company Directory
The Company Directory is an internal voice and text list of the names of mailbox owners with initialized mailboxes who are designated to appear in the directory.
Configuration
The tasks involved in setting up the different parameters of CallPilot. For example, configuring the Central Office (CO) lines answered by CallPilot.
Configuring CallPilot lines
The tasks involved in determining which external lines are answered by CallPilot and which Greeting Table is assigned.
