Being Notified about Messages
Amanda can be configured to notify you when you have a message. She can
call your pager to display the total number of messages and the number of
new messages. She can use relay paging to display or forward a telephone
number entered by your caller (if he pressed # while listening to your
greeting). She can even call you at home or on your cellular telephone. She
can notify you about all messages and/or about messages marked urgent. All
notification methods can be scheduled by time and day of the week. See your
administrator for details.
Changing a Pager Number by Telephone
You can change the telephone number for a pager over the telephone.
To change the pager number:
+
+
+ notification record’s number (1-4) +
new pager number +
To exit without changing a notification record, press
instead of a record
number or pager number.
N
OTE
: To be changed, the notification record must be active and
currently contain a number in its Variable field. That field
might be a home telephone number or some other number
rather than a pager number.
Leaving a Message for Someone Else
If you answer the telephone for more than one person, or even if you get a
wrong number, you can allow a caller to leave a message for another user (or
mailbox).
How you do this depends on how your telephone switching system transfers
or conferences calls. The following procedure tries to cover all cases, but
check with your administrator for specific instructions.
