Function 56: Cascade Notification Mailboxes - ESI -1000 Administrator's Manual

ESI Communications Servers Administrator's Manual
Function 552: Delivery/paging parameters
The sequence of programming is as follows:
1. CO line access — Enter the CO line group (9, 8, or 71–76) to be accessed for delivery.
Default: 9.
2. Pager dialing pause — When paging, the ESI Communications Server will send the mailbox number
to be shown in the pager's display. To allow time for the paging service to answer, enter the pause,
in seconds, to occur between when the system dials the pager number and when it then dials the
mailbox number.
Range: 0–20. Default: 6.
Note: The message notification and delivery process uses one CO line at a time. As a result, if a system has
multiple users who have programmed delivery options, there may be a delay in notification.

Function 56: Cascade notification mailboxes

In addition to individual mailbox paging, the ESI Communications Server supports cascade notification
mailboxes. These can be assigned to anyone who requires escalating levels of notification beyond the single
level available in all user mailboxes. In this function, you program the notification numbers and number of times
each is to be notified before the next notification number is dialed; additionally, the mailbox owner can program
these settings. To record a greeting, press PROGRAM
follow the prompts. The default password is the mailbox number. The maximum recording length is controlled by
Function 51; the default is 10 minutes. For information on the number of cascade notification mailboxes
supported by your system and its numbering plan, see "System capacities," page B.1.
Cascade mailbox options
The user can program up to three external numbers, of up to 24 digits each, to be called or paged whenever
the mailbox takes a new or urgent message. The system will dial the first number (for the number of times
listed), then dial the second paging number (for the number of times listed), and finally dial the third number,
continuing in this sequence to call all three numbers until the message has been retrieved.
