Identifying a User’s
and Department’s
Voicemail box
Each User is identified on the database by a GUID (Global Unique Identifier).
This GUID is used to identify the User’s voicemail folder in the Mailbox
directory.
A list of each User’s, Department’s and Company’s GUIDs are displayed within
Manager Assist, by selecting Configuration Aids, and then under the Voicemail
section at the bottom select Voicemail GUIDs.
The Copy GUID button will copy the GUID into the Clipboard.
The User or Department’s Daily Greeting is stored as Greeting.wav and the permanent greeting is stored
as GreetingPermanent.wav.
View the number of messages for all Users and Departments
The status of each User
’s
and Department
’s
voicemail box can be viewed in Manager Assist, by selecting
System Utilities, then under the Status section select Voicemail Status. Each User and Department, that
has a MessageBox licence, is listed, and if relevant the number of new messages followed by the total
number of messages currently stored in their voicemail box. Each User and Department with one or
more new messages waiting is displayed in black.
Back up voicemail
A back up of the internal voicemail server will be required to ensure that when, for example, a faulty Call
Server is replaced all the Users’ and Departments’
messages and greetings are restored on the new Call
Server. This can be done by running the following back up script.

Telnet on to the Call Server via Root as described in the Root Access to a Call Server section on
page 272.

Type
/ftp/backup
, then press Enter

Using FTP via a browser or Command Prompt log in as Admin on the relevant Call Server as
described in the Admin Access to a Call Server section from page 273.
5
If you are using a browser the voicemail.tar0 file can be copied or moved to any location as
required.
