Telephony Features: Dial Plan
2.3 Voicemail Operation
All IP Office Basic Edition systems include voicemail as standard. By default up to 2 calls can simultaneously use voicemail
services. By adding licenses, this can be increased up to 6 simultaneous calls.
When Do Calls Go To a User's Mailbox?
If a user has voicemail enabled (
VMS Cover
set to
Enabled
(the default)
), calls directed to ring at that user's extension
go to the user's voicemail after having rung for the time set by the user's
Voicemail Coverage Rings
setting (15
seconds by default). For incoming external calls, this will apply if the user is set as the line's
Coverage Destination
.
·
The above does not apply for calls altering just on a line appearance button that the user has assigned or alerting
the user as part of a hunt group.
·
There are number of methods for a user to switch their VMS Cover setting on or off (through their mailbox,
through the phone menus, or using a
button)
·
A
button can be configured to let a user transfer calls directly to the mailbox of other users.
When Do Calls Go to an Auto Attendant?
The IP Office Basic Edition voicemail supports the configuration of up to 9 auto attendant services to answer and redirect
calls. If an auto attendant has been configured, it can be used to answer calls as follows:
·
Immediate Auto Attendant Service
One of the auto attendants can be specified as the
Coverage Destination
for a particular line. The call is
presented immediately to that auto attendant.
·
Delayed/Optional Auto Attendant Service
The
VMS Schedule
setting of each line can be used to set whether unanswered calls should go to a selected auto
attendant. The settings can be enabled for day service,
, both or never (the default). The delay
used before going to the auto attendant is set by the line's
VMS Delay - Day
and
VMS Delay - Night
settings as
appropriate.
