Using %U and %V instead of %E
When the Extension field contains more than the extension number, for
example, 127H or a set of tokens starting with @, you cannot use %E in
notification records to turn the message light on and off.
If the mailbox is the same number as the extension, you can substitute %U.
If neither %E nor %U can be used, you can substitute %V and put the
extension number, such as 127, in the Variable field for the notification
record.
Using Voice Notification
Voice notification is commonly used instead of message waiting lights. The
following is an example of a notification record that calls the user’s
extension to inform him about his messages:
Type: NORMAL
Method: %EW(5,V)P(U)P(M)P(N)
Token Description
%E Number to be dialed to reach the user’s extension. (See “Us-
ing %U and %V instead of %E” on page 144 if the contents
of the Extension field contains more or something other
than the extension number.)
W(5,V)
A five-ring wait for a voice response.
P(U) Amanda plays the mailbox’s Name and Extension record-
ing.
P(M)
Amanda says the total number of messages and the number
of new messages.
P(N)
Amanda plays the Name/Extension recording for the current mail-
box.
