22 - 6 System IDs
Issue 3 EliteMail VMS/EliteMail Limited
SECTION 5 USE INTERNAL IDSWhen you want to prevent callers from dialing a su bscriber or trans action
box, assign a System ID that contains the $ that cannot be dialed from a
touchtone keypad. These a re called internal IDs or hidden IDs.
Internal IDs can still be used in the system automatic call routing features,
but cannot be dialed by callers directly.
The most common use of internal S ystem IDs is for linkin g voice detect
boxes, transaction boxes, or interview boxes with the GotoID action.
The system comes with a Public Interview Box with a System ID of $PM.
This ID is used because a cal ler never dials the Public Interview Box
directly. A caller is routed to the Publ ic Interview Bo x automatically only
when the operator is not available, or w hen a caller doe s not press any
touchtones when calling aft er hours.
SECTION 6 PLAN SYSTEM IDSEstimate what kind and how many System IDs you need, then design an
easy-to-remember numbering system that best meets these needs.
The number of System IDs determines how many digits you should have
in your IDs. The table estimates how many unique IDs are available for a
particular ID numbering plan. Allow plenty of spare System IDs for future
growth. Remember, System IDs are assigned not only to subscribers, but
also to all transaction boxes, interview box e s, and subscriber guests.
