Centralized Voice Messaging Programming | 5 |
Allowing the user to dial the same extension number to reach the centralized voice messaging system to retrieve messages regardless of location requires special programming that is described below:
■Select a calling group number to be used at the VMS hub systems and all remote systems sharing the centralized VMS/AA and renumber all systems’ VMI calling group to the selected extension number (for example 7700). This is the number of an integrated VMI calling group that will receive coverage and overflow calls on all systems, and that can be dialed by users on all systems to access the voice mail system. Provide this extension number to all subscribers as the extension number used to reach the voice messaging system.
■At the (VMS hub) system where the centralized VMS/AA resides, program the following:
—Establish a calling group for the centralized VMS/AA with the selected common extension for all VMI calling groups sharing the centralized VMS/AA in the private network (for example, 7700).
—Assign the extension for the ports used to connect the centralized VMS/AA as members of the calling group and set the FRL for these extensions to 3.
—Assign the calling group hunt type as required on the VMS/AA system requirements.
—Assign the calling group type as Integrated VMI.
—Assign other applicable parameters for the calling group as needed.
—For individual local extensions that will receive coverage by the centralized VMS/AA, establish a coverage group. Assign the extensions as senders in the group and the centralized VMS/AA calling group as the receiver.
—For calling groups that will receive overflow coverage to the centralized VMS/AA, assign the centralized VMS/AA calling group as the calling group overflow receiver.
■At each remote MERLIN LEGEND systems sharing the centralized VMS/AA, program the following:
—Select an unused
—Assign a pattern for this VMI conversion number that is not used for normal private network calls. Set up the routes associated with the pattern as follows:
1.Assign a private network facility pool that contains a pool of PRI or tie trunks, but not mixed trunk types.
