5.6 TRAINING THE SUBSCRIBER
The System Administrator should explain the basic functions of the VPS to all the subscribers.
He should explain which service (Voice Mail service, Automated Attendant service, Interview
Service, or a Custom service) will play during the day, and what services will play during night/
lunch/breaks. He should explain that outside callers are called "non-subscribers" because they
do not have a mailbox. VPS guidance prompts will assist non-subscribers in reaching the
extension or mailbox they need. He should explain the responsibilities of the System
Administrator, the Message Manager, and the System Manager — and how each can be
contacted (phone number, mailbox number, or email address, or all three).
The System Administrator should also explain the special privileges of VPS subscribers.
Subscribers can call from any touchtone telephone in the world and get their messages. To
check messages (or change mailbox parameters) from an outside phone, do the following:
As soon as the VPS plays a guidance message,
Press
code
[# 6 ]
and then
the mailbox
number . For example, a subscriber who has extension 215 and mailbox 215 would press
code [# 6 215]. If the subscriber has a password enabled, the password must be entered.
Note
Each subscriber can set a password of up to 10 digits to his own mailbox. It is strongly
recommended that each subscriber set a password, which will prevent unauthorised
callers from accidentally or intentionally accessing subscriber's mailboxes.
If the subscriber forgets his password, he should contact either the System Administrator or the
System Manager. Either one can clear the password so that the subscriber can establish a new
password.
Explain the purpose of the General Delivery Mailbox. The Message Manager will periodically
check it, and forward the contents to the appropriate subscriber.
Explain the purpose of the System Group Distribution Lists. They can be created by the System
Administrator to facilitate the distribution of messages to several subscribers. In particular,
senior staff members ought to know how to take advantage of System Group Distribution Lists.
Twenty lists can be created, with twenty mailboxes in each list.
Finally, if Custom Service menus are used, subscribers should be encouraged to listen to these
menus often and make suggestions for improvement. Custom service is a very powerful feature
of the Panasonic VPS. Make the most of this feature.
