You can select TTY prompts from the list of language options when you install Voicemail Pro. See Installation Overview

1.The simplest method is to change the user locale in IP Office Manager. This method requires no customization of a user's mailbox. See Changing User Locale 298 or refer to the IP Office Manager help or User Guide.

2.An alternative to changing the user locale to TTY is to change the language setting in the Voicemail Pro call flows for the user who needs TTY prompts. See Changing the Language Setting for a Text Phone 299 .

5.6.2 Changing User Locale

The locale setting tty is not actually recognized by IP Office Manager. Therefore all aspects of a user's telephony operation on the IP Office will default to the system's locale setting (System > System > Locale). However, the user locale setting is transferred to the Voicemail Pro server during mailbox access and so will affect the prompts that are provided.

To change the user locale:

1.Open IP Office Manager.

2.In the Navigation pane, click User and select the individual user.

3.Select the User tab.

4.Select the option Teletype (Textphone) in the Locale field.

5.Click OK.

6.Click to merge the configuration change back to the IP Office.

5.6.3Advice for Mailbox Owners Using a TTY Device

To log into their mailbox with a TTY device, such as a text phone, mailbox owners must dial *17 and then take the analog telephone handset off hook.

When they are connected, users see prompts on the display of the text phone.

For requests such as "Press 1 for …" users should dial from the keypad of the telephone. For messages followed by GA (go ahead) users are required to type text using their text device.
