24 - 8 Transaction Boxes
Issue 3 EliteMail VMS/EliteMail Limited
If the caller does not press any touchtones du ring the greeting, the system
transfers the call to the operator. One-key dialin g is programm ed for this
box. If the caller presses 1, t he system routes the call to transaction box
700. If the caller presses 2, the system routes the call to transaction box
800. If the caller presses 3, the system routes the call to the automatic
directory.
This type of transaction box is useful for compa nies that receive a large
volume of calls for one or more departments, particularly if callers do not
know the name of a subscriber they need to spea k with. This lets calle rs
quickly reach the department they ne ed without going through the
operator. Callers who do know the name or d epartment, can reac h the
subscriber through directory assistance. For details, refer to Chapter 3
Directory Assistance.
The sample Sales Box (Box 700 ) is set to tran sfer the call, a lthough the
extension number is blank. Refer to Fi gure 24-4 Sample Sales Box.
