Programming for Voice Messaging Systems
PARTNER Messaging requires programming for both the communications system and PARTNER Messaging. Some features must first be programmed on the communications system. Then PARTNER Messaging programming is performed, followed by additional communications system programming. See the PARTNER Messaging Installation, Programming, and Troubleshooting Online Guide or the PARTNER Messaging System Manager’s Quick Reference for the programming required to use PARTNER Messaging with your PARTNER ACS.
To program any of the other three voice messaging systems, perform the following tasks. See the PARTNER Advanced Communications System Release
7.0Installation, Programming, and Use guide for the procedures to program these tasks.
•Assign the PARTNER MAIL VS extensions to Hunt Group 7 using Hunt Group Extensions (#505).
•Set the Transfer Return Extension (#306) for each of the messaging system extensions to extension 10 (or other extension of your choosing). This ensures that unanswered calls transferred by the messaging system to extensions that do not have VMS Coverage return to the extension you designate as the Transfer Return Extension.
•Program a VMS Cover button (Feature 15) on phones to allow subscribers to turn VMS Coverage on and off.
•Program Line Coverage Extension (#208) to determine which subscriber’s mailbox should receive unanswered calls that come in on the specified line.
•Program a Voice Mailbox Transfer button (Feature 14) at extension 10 so that the operator can transfer calls directly to an extension’s mailbox without first ringing its telephone. (This is useful when the operator knows that the subscriber is not available to answer the call.)
•Program an Auto Dial button for the VMS Hunt Group (left intercom 777) on phones for
•Use Group Call Distribution (#206 option 1) to assign outside lines that require Automated Attendant Service to Hunt Group 7 (the VMS hunt group).
