Cal l Rou ti ng Mailboxes
Description
A Call Routing Mailbox lets callers press a button (also known as a key) (0-9, *, #) on a telephone
dialpad to route their own call to an extension, mailbox, etc. A Call Routing Mailbox uses a Dial
Action Table, a Welcome Message and an Instruction Menu.
O
A Dial Action Table lets you assign an action (routing option) to each dialpad key. For exam-
ple: You could assign “Screened Transfer to 306" to key 1. When a caller presses key 1, the
Voice Mail transfers the caller to extension 306. For more information, see Customizing Daily
Action Tables on page 129.
O
A Welcome Message greets the caller. A typical Welcome Message is: Thank you for calling
XYZ Company. To record a Welcome Message, use the System Administrator’s Menu.
O
An Instruction Menu lets a caller know routing options (that is, the routing options defined in
the Dial Action Table). To record an Instruction Menu, use the System Administrator’s Menu.
Availability:
All versions of the NT Voice Mail.
Notes:
• To have the Automated Attendant provide routing options to outside call-
ers, you must assign a Call Routing Mailbox to an Answering Schedule
Table
(AST)
. By default, the Voice Mail assigns Call Routing Mailboxes
000, 001, 002 to schedules 1-3 in Answering Schedule Table 1. To see, at
any time, how Call Routing Mailboxes are assigned to an
AST,
you can
use the View/Print Reports Menu, Answering Schedule Table or
Automated Attendant Per Port/Trunk. For more information on
Answering Schedule Tables, see page 105.
• You can also assign a Call Routing Mailbox to Subscriber, Message Cen-
ter, Interactive and Modem Mailboxes. This Call Routing Mailbox is
referred to as a Next Call Routing Mailbox. For details, see the descrip-
tions for Subscriber (page 263), Message Center (page 239), and
Interactive (page 230) in this chapter.
• An extension user can transfer an outside caller to a Call Routing Mail-
box. See Transferring a Call to a Mailbox in the User's Guide. This
type of transfer is allowed only if the Call Routing Mailbox number
falls into the extension numbering plan of the phone system.
