How Message Notification Works to Normal Telephone Numbers
1. The subscriber activates Message Notification for their mailbox (see Operation below).
When the subscriber receives a new message, IntraMail dials the destination that should receive the Mes-
2.
sage Notification.
- IntraMail waits up to 30 seconds for ringback, reorder, busy or voice activity from the called num-
ber. If nothing is detected, the callout is considered unanswered.
3. If the recipient answers, IntraMail plays the notification message ("Hello, I have a message for") and
asks the recipient to dial 1 to log onto their mailbox. The recipient hears the notification message if:
- They say "Hello" after answering the callout, or
- The system receives answer supervision from the telco after the recipient answers the call.
(Note that the recipient can skip the announcement by dialing 1 to log onto their mailbox after
answering the callout – without saying "Hello".), or
- The notification is to a system extension.
4. Once the recipient logs onto the mailbox, the notification is considered acknowledged and will not reoc-
cur until the subscriber receives new messages.
5. If the recipient doesn't answer, the system will retry the callout number. After completing the pro-
grammed number of callout attempts, Message Notification will stop.
Once the notification process begins, a new message does not restart the process if it is already in
6.
progress. Once the process ends (e.g., if the message is acknowledged or the maximum number of call-
out attempts is reached), the next new message will restart the process.
How Message Notification Works to Digital Pager Numbers
1. The subscriber activates Message Notification for their mailbox (see Operation below).
When the subscriber receives a new message, IntraMail immediately dials the pager service.
2.
- IntraMail waits up to 30 seconds for ringback, reorder, busy or voice activity from the called num-
ber. If nothing is detected, the callout is considered unanswered.
After the pager service answers, IntraMail sends a dial string which causes the pager display to show the
3.
subscriber's mailbox number as well as the number of new messages in the mailbox.
- The notification is considered acknowledged if the recipient logs onto the mailbox. Notification
will not reoccur until the subscriber receives new messages.
