Off-premise Message Notification

About Off-premise Message Notification

Off-premise Message Notification notifies you or a designated agent when there are new or urgent messages in the skillset mailbox. You can receive Off-premise Message Notification at any tone dial telephone number, pager or extension.

Note: Set up Off-premise Message Notification for non-business hours. Then Off-Premise Message Notification does not consume a Reserved or voice channel during busy periods.

You can receive notification of a message at a maximum of five different destination numbers. When the number of retry attempts is reached for each destination number, the next number in the series is called. For example, Call Center can call your car phone first when there is a message in the skillset mailbox. If there is no answer, Call Center waits five minutes and calls your car phone again. If there is still no answer, Call Center calls your car phone a third time. If there is no answer after three calls, Call Center calls the your home phone. Call Center continues to call at five minute intervals until the call is answered or all of the destinations are called three times.

Off-premise Message Notification, the Retry Intervals and Maximum Number of Attempts for skillset mailboxes are assigned through the Class of Service settings in CallPilot Manager. Skillset mailboxes have a default Class of Service of 1.

Class of Service 1 has these default settings for Off-premise Message Notification:

Off-premise Message Notification enabled

a Retry Interval of five minutes

a Maximum Number of Attempts of 3

For information about changing Class of Service settings, refer to the CallPilot Manager Set Up and Operation Guide.

You must assign start and stop times for phone and destinations. Off-premise Message Notification begins when the start time is reached. Set the start time for a time when you are at the destination number so that you are there to receive calls.

A person who receives a Off-premise Message Notification call can cancel Off-premise Message Notification to their destination number. This is useful if a destination is incorrectly programmed and a wrong party receives the calls.

The recipient of an Off-premise Message Notification call hears the following voice prompt: “Message for (name of mailbox owner). To log on press . If you have received this call by mistake, please press ¤.

After you set the Off-premise Message Notification parameters, Off-premise Message Notification is enabled automatically.
