Override the Outdial Access Code
You can prevent the system from dialing the outdial access code with
particular telephone number f ield s (even on telephone numbers w it h more
than five characters). To do this at the system console, insert , as the first
character in the telephone number field. To do this by telephone, pres s the
pound key to insert a pause as the first character of the telephone num ber.
Change Length of External Tel ephone Numbers
By default, if a telephone number field has more than 5 characte rs, the
voice mail system assumes it is an external call. However, you change this
value by adding the outdial trigger length option to the Integration
Options field on the Switch Setup s creen Page 1. The ou tdial trigger
length option defines the number of characters that must be in a tele phone
number field before the voice mail system recognizes the number as an
external call.
To change the outdial trigger length, in the Integration Options field,
enter OTL=n, where n is a num ber between 4 and 15 (
e.g.
, enter
OTL=11). In this example, the system considers telephone numbers with
11 or fewer characters internal extensio n numbers. All telephone numbe rs
with 12 or more characters are considere d external calls.
Prioritized Message Delivery
Message delivery delay allows sub scribers to prior itize between mu ltiple
delivery telephone numbers that are active at a giv en time and da y. The
subscriber most probable location is tried first, then if the subscriber
cannot be reached in a reasonable ti me, other locations or a pa ger are
included in delivery attempts.
With Batch delivery, you can assign different priorities to delivery
telephone numbers by specifyin g differe nt de lay t ime s in th e after __ min
