password protection | To insure that unauthorized people do not retrieve your voice mail, barge into |
| your conversations, etc., many of the advanced features of the NexPath Tele- |
| phony Server require that you enter a numerical password to identify yourself to |
| the system before the feature can be accessed. |
physical lines | The actual telephone lines connected to the NexPath Telephony Server. |
pickup groups | See ring groups below. |
ring cadence | Extensions can be programmed to ring with any of six different ringing patterns, |
| or cadences. Extensions can also be programmed to ring differently depending |
| on whether the call is an inside call or a call from an outside line. |
ring groups | Groups of physical telephone lines can be assigned to a ring group, also called a |
| pickup group. This function is normally used so that a ringing phone can be |
| picked up from another |
| * 0 , followed by a single digit ring group number. |
| An extension can also be assigned to a ring group, so that when the extension is |
| dialed, the group of phones will ring. The first extension picked up in the group |
| of ringing phones will get the call. |
| Note that ring groups are not the same as call distribution groups. See call distri- |
| bution group above for the definition of a call distribution group. |
Short Name | This is the name that is recorded in a voice mai box, so that when a voice mail |
| message is copied to another mail box, this name recording is prepended to the |
| message to identify who it is from. Also, the short name is used to identify all |
| extensions that forward to the voice mail box where it is recorded, to identify the |
| extensions in the dial by name |
system administrator | This is the person in charge of administering the system, that is, adding or remov- |
| ing users, assigning users extension numbers and passwords, and changing other |
| system parameters as needed. Please refer to the NexPath Telephony Server Sys- |
| tem Administration Guide for more details on what the system administrator can |
| and cannot do. |
