Avaya 6 manual Alarm Set

4.8.3 Alarm Set

The Alarm Set action allows an alarm call to be setup to be played to a specified extension at a specified time. By default the alarm call displays ALARM and plays the prompt "This is an alarm call, please hang up".

On pre-5.0 Voicemail Pro systems this action only allowed internal callers to setup an alarm calls for themselves. Voicemail Pro 5.0+ allows the action to be used by to setup alarms for other extensions. It also allows preset alarms to be configured including regular repeating alarms.

Voicemail Pro 6.0+ allows the length of the alarm call ringing to be adjusted and the alarm call to be repeated if not responded to. The number of repeats can be adjusted. Previously the alarms was cleared when it was answered. For Voicemail Pro 6.0+ a dialing digit can be required to clear the alarm.

∙Alarm calls that have been setup can be viewed in the Voicemail Pro client

137. They can then be edited or deleted.

∙The Voicemail Pro is limited to 2 outgoing alarm calls at the same time (subject to voicemail port availability). Any additional alarm calls are delayed until the existing alarm calls have been completed.
