Connecting Guests to the Voice Messaging

System

There are two ways you can connect guests to the Lucent INTUITY voice messaging system:

You can connect the guests directly to the system, and the guests enter their room number and password, or

For guests who call in using a rotary-dial telephone, you can enter the guests’ room number and password before you transfer them to the voice messaging system. This method is recommended only for callers with rotary-dial telephones. Callers with touch-tone telephones should be connected directly to the system.

! SECURITY ALERT:

Attendants receiving requests for connection to the voice messaging system should be trained to be on alert for unauthorized callers who may be trying to “hack” the voice messaging system. Refer to BCS Product Security Handbook for additional information.

To connect guests directly to the Lucent INTUITY voice messaging system to let them enter their own room number and password, perform the following:

The Split lamp goes on at the attendant console.

5.Enter the message retrieval number.

You hear ringback tone.

The display shows the number you are calling.

6.Press either the RELEASE button from the attendant console or the TRANSFER button from a backup telephone.

The guests are connected to the voice messaging system and can now enter their room number and password to retrieve their messages.
