Bulletin Board

If the mail system has multiple Automated Attendants, and the Dial 0 Destination is an Automated Attendant Main Menu, the mailbox owner must specify which Automated Attendant’s Main Menu should be played.

Other Bulletin Board Options

Besides the Dial 0 Destination, callers have three other options:

■[ ★ ] [ 4 ] Play the Bulletin Board message again.

■[ ★ ] [ T ] ([ ★ ] [ 8 ]) Transfer to another extension.

■[ ★ ] [ 1 ] Hear the Bulletin Board message in the alternate language (bilingual mode only).

If the caller presses [ 0 ], [ ★ ] [ 4 ], [ ★ ] [ T ] ([ ★ ] [ 8 ]), or [ ★ ] [ 1 ] while the Bulletin Board message is playing or within four seconds after the message ends, the appropriate action is taken. If the caller does not select any of these options, the mail system says “Good-bye” and disconnects the call.

NOTE for Bilingual Mode:

If callers can transfer to the Bulletin Board mailbox from another mailbox or can select the Bulletin Board from an Automated Attendant menu, you do not need to include the [ ★ ] [ 1 ] option in the Bulletin Board message, since the callers already will have selected their preferred language. It is necessary to include this option only if communications system users will transfer callers directly to the Bulletin Board mailbox.

Bulletin Board Mailbox Password

A Bulletin Board mailbox has a password that can be changed by the mailbox owner. The password must be at least as long as the length specified in the Minimum Password Length parameter, and can be up to fifteen digits in length.

If the Bulletin Board mailbox owner forgets the password, you can reinitialize the password in order for the owner to gain access to the mailbox. Initializing the password does not affect the Bulletin Board message.

Applications

A Bulletin Board message could advertise a product for a sales office. The Dial 0 Destination for the Bulletin Board can be the extension of the account representative for that product. For example:

“Cruise the Hawaiian Islands for $1299.
