Overview

The UC Server application in Personal Business Assistant mode provides not only the most commonly
used unified communications features, but also the opportunity to design your own auto attendent services
and to record customized announcements. Master the basic functions and manage your personalized
greetings and delivery features with efficiency and ease, right from your desktop. The user interface is
remarkably user-friendly.
The UC Server is integrated with Microsoft Outlook so that you can access voice, fax, and email messages
from a single inbox. The type of each new message is signaled by a distinctive icon that you can recognize
at a glance, just as you are familiar with the envelope that indicates reception of an email message.
You can use a local or remote telephone to log on to the system and retrieve not only voice messages but
email. With a single keypad command, the text-to-speech engine reads email messages to you over the
phone. You are also informed if you have received fax messages.
Please note that your system administrator needs to set your call answering mode to Personal Business
Assistant for you to have access to this mode.
All users on the system manage, and are managed by, user profiles, identities, and authorizations.
