Callers Getting Incorrect Response

8

from Voice Mail

Outside callers who reach the system may get the wrong response when the voice mail system answers calls. They may hear an off-hours message during business hours, for example.

NOTE:

Be sure to change the system time appropriately when Daylight Savings Time starts and when it ends. System time affects the functioning of several system features, including Automatic Backup, Night Service, Station Message Detail Recording (SMDR) reports, standalone auto attendant systems, voice mail, and Reminder Service.

Possible Cause 1: The system time may be set incorrectly.

What to do: Check the time at the system programming console or another MLX display telephone. If the time is correct, go to Possible Cause 2.

Possible Cause 2: If the system uses the Night Service feature and has more than one operator console, one of the consoles may not have the Night Service button activated.

What to do: Check that the green light next to the Night Service button at each operator’s console is on.

If a green light is off, then Night Service is not activated; press the button to activate Night Service. Make a call to see if you get the correct voice mail greeting. If you do, you have solved the problem.

If each green light is on, then Night Service is activated for that operator’s console. Go to Possible Cause 3.

Possible Cause 3: The time settings for the voice mail system do not match the system date and time.

What to do: Follow the instructions in your voice mail system documentation to check that the settings match the system. If the settings are correct or if it is a Lucent Technologies voice mail system, call the Lucent Technologies Helpline at 1 800 628-2888 (consultation charges may apply).
