Flexible Answering Schedules
Lets the System Administrator program the Automated Attendant to greet callers in a variety of ways: one
way during the weekdays, another way at night, another way during the weekends, etc. The System
Administrator simply records the greetings, then programs the day or date and time that each one should
play. For example, the System Administrator could program this set of greetings for a line:
Q
Starting at 9 AM, Monday - Friday, the Automated Attendant says:
Thank you for calling ABC company (W).
Please dial the extension you wish to reach, or stay on the line for assistance (I).
Q
Starting at 5PM, Monday - Thursday, the Automated Attendant says:
Thank you for calling ABC Company. Our office is closed and will re-open at 9:00 tomorrow
morning. To leave a message, press one. Otherwise, please call again tomorrow.
Q
Starting at 5PM, Friday, the Automated Attendant says:
Thank you for calling ABC company. Our offices are closed for the weekend. Our normal
business hours are 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, Monday through Friday. We look forward to helping
you then.
The NT Voice Mail allows 16 sets of greetings (like the set of three above). Each set can have 20
day/date/time schedules. If desired, the Voice Mail can play one set of greetings for your Sales line,
another for your Marketing line, and a third for the Customer Service line. Or the the Voice Mail
can play the same set of greetings for all lines that use a particular port.

Flexible Call Routing
Lets Automated Attendant callers press one or more keys on their Touch Tone phones to route
(send) their own calls to an extension or department. The System Administrator can set up a menu
of routing options for callers. Routing options include:
Transfer to an Extension: Screened or Unscreened
Either a Screened or an Unscreened Transfer can transfer (reroute) a call to an extension. The
basic difference between the transfer types lies in how the Voice Mail handles incomplete
transfers:
