Greeting

Day Greeting / Night Greeting

The caller hears either the day or night gr eeting when call transfer is
turned off, or the extension is busy or does no t answer.

Use one-key dialing during greeting?

If this transaction box uses one-key dialin g, enter the System IDs.
The one-key dialing menu lets you se t up single digits to represen t full
System IDs for other transaction boxes, interview boxes, or extension
numbers. Enter an existing System ID for each sing le digit the ca ller may
press. As you record the greeting , include pauses in your recording so the
caller has time to make a selection.
One-key dialing lets the caller pres s a single digit during or after the
greeting; the system translates that single digit to the corresponding
System ID, and routes the call accordingly.
