1.1 What is New

The following are summaries of the new features in IP Office Voicemail Pro releases.

·IP Office Unified Messaging Service (UMS)

Two new methods for users to access their mailbox are now supported. The methods are mailbox access using

email applications that support IMAP (Internet Message Access Protocol) and mailbox access via web browsers.

The use of these requires the IP Office configuration to contain UMS Web Services licenses for the number of

required users.

·IMAP Service

The Voicemail Pro now includes an IMAP server. Users can then access their voicemail messages using email

clients such as Outlook and Lotus notes that support an IMAP Client. When connected, the IMAP client and

Voicemail Pro will synchronize messages in the mailbox with message files in the IMAP client. Playback is

through the sound facilities of the user PC.

·Web Voicemail Service

The Voicemail Pro web service allows users to access their mailbox using a web browser. This has been tested

with the Internet Explorer 7, Firefox 2 and Opera 9.10 PC browsers. This method of access requires Voicemail

Pro to be installed on a PC already running Microsoft's IIS web server. Users can select to have message

playback via an IP Office extension or through their PC's sound facilities.

·Test Variable Action

The existing Check Digits action has been replaced by a Test Variable action. This, in addition to offering the

capabilities of the Check Digits action, provides significant enhancements. In addition to being able to match the

user's DTMF input against a specified string offered by the Check Digits action, the Test Variable action allows

the testing of the contents of any system variable against known user extensions, hunt-groups, mailboxes and the

contents of another variable. This will allow callers to enter numbers via a menu action, that can be verified as

matching an existing extension or hunt groups prior to attempting to carry out transfers to otherwise potentially

non-existent numbers.

·Menu Action Invalid Input Handling

The Menu action has been enhanced. It now includes a control for the number of retries for the caller to make a

valid entry and an Invalid Input result for connection to following call flow actions. Also prompts can be selected

for playback whenever an invalid entry or entry timeout occurs.

·License and Service Status Display

When the Voicemail Pro client is connected to a Voicemail Pro server, the Help | About screen displays a list of

the licenses being used by the Voicemail Pro server. This license details include the validation status and capacity

of those licenses. The status of related services, for example the UMS IMAP server, are also listed.

·System Variable Length Increase

Previously the length of values stored by system variables has been limited to 64 characters. That maximum

length has been increased to 512 characters.

·Outcalling Configuration

In conjunction with Phone Manager 4.2, Voicemail Pro 4.2 allows users to adjust their outcalling settings through

using a visual menu within Phone Manager.

·Using the Phone Manager interface, users can now apply a delay between each notification call in an

escalation list.
