Voice Mail
The Voice Mail feature allows callers to send and receive recorded messages from any end-
point or DTMF endpoint. (Dial pulse signaling is not recognized by the voice processing sys-
tem. Callers using dial pulse endpoints will be routed to the Voice Mail application’s Dial-0
Destination for assistance.)
Voice Mail and Message Notification/Retrieval Applications
Two types of applications are combined to provide the Voice Mail feature: Voice Mail and
Message Notification/Retrieval.
• Voice Mail: This application
handles all calls that are directed
to Voice Mail (other than the
Message Notification/Retrieval
application) placed by subscrib-
ers and nonsubscribers. Callers
will hear the main company
greeting, followed by a menu of
available options. Endpoints can
forward or transfer calls directly
to their mailbox using this appli-
cation’s extension number. This
application can also be the mes-
sage center for the subscribers’
endpoints.
• Message Notification/Retrie-
val: Only one Message Notifi-
cation/Retrieval application may
be created for the system. When
endpoint users respond to mes-
sage indications left by Voice
Mail, they reach the Message
notification/Retrieval applica-
tion and are prompted only for
their password.
Endpoint users and outside callers gain
access to the Voice Mail application in
the following ways:
• By dialing the phone number or
extension number assigned to
the Voice Mail application
• By being transferred to Voice
Mail by Automated Attendant
• By being forwarded to the Voice Mail when a called endpoint is unavailable (via the
Call Forwarding or System Forwarding features)
• By responding to Message Waiting indications
