Using voicemail with a Paging Port
Voicemail can be used to play messages over a tannoy or PA system connected to the system. In a busy
environment this means that several people can be leaving messages rather than having to wait for the
paging extension to become free. For details on how to configure a paging port please refer to page 90.

message.
Using Ring Back When Free
Ring Back When Free is an Enhanced Speech Processing facility and requires an ESPSession licence for
each concurrent channel required (please refer to the Voicemail Licensing section from page 211 for
further details). The relevant Voicemail Port must be configured with a Dial Plan (please refer to the
Voicemail Ports section from page 212 for further details). Ring Back When Free is supported on a
PCS 5x3, 5x2, 5x1, Navigate IP phone and PCS 60 for Mac IP Phone.
When a User dials an extension that is busy the Ringback icon
will become available. The User will
receive a message that ring back has been set. When the extension becomes free voicemail will ring the
User and announce the name of the User they have set the ring back for and then the call will be made.
For further information please refer to the relevant software/handset user manual.
