Automated Attendant

An automated attendant is an interactive telephone answering system. It answers incoming calls with a prerecorded announcement and routes each one based on the caller’s response to menu options and prompts.

The system administrator sets up an automated attendant so that callers hear a menu of options. Callers indicate the desired menu option by pressing the corresponding touch-tone key. The automated attendant executes the selected option. Callers from rotary or dial-pulse button telephones are, typically, told that they can hold or call another number to speak with a live attendant.

An automated attendant menu system, or menu tree, can be designed to contain subordinate layers of menus or bulletin boards. These sub-menus, or nested menus, play additional options, including a choice leading to another nested menu.

The voiced menu options that callers hear are actually personal greetings that the administrator records for the automated attendant’s extension. As with any personal greeting, the content of the message can be changed. The Multiple Personal Greetings function provides different menus and options for different types of callers.

If your messaging system has multiple language sets available, the menu options route callers to a sub-menu voiced entirely in another language. The Multiple Personal Greetings function can record menus in various languages.

For more information on setting up and maintaining automated attendants, see the

AUDIX System Administration documentation on the DEFINITY ECS

Documentation Library CD.

Bulletin Board

A bulletin board is an electronic messaging system. Callers dial the bulletin board’s telephone number and the system answers and plays a recorded message. The major difference between a bulletin board and an automated attendant is that a bulletin board does not have an option to route callers to a live attendant.

CornerStone Software

The CornerStone software has been modified, and now supports co-resident announcements.
