Announcement Mailbox - NEC SL1100 Feature Manual

SL1100
Description
An Announcement Mailbox plays a recorded announcement to Automated Attendant callers without
providing dialing options. The Announcement Mailbox is typically set up to provide information to
callers and then route back to the Automated Attendant. See the following example:
• The Automated Attendant instructs the caller to dial a digit for company directions.
- Record this in the Instruction Menu message for the active Call Routing Mailbox.
See Instruction Menu on page 2-145
A
- Set the dialing options in the Dial Action Table associated with the active Call Routing Mailbox.
See Dial Action Table on page 2-60
• The caller dials the digit and listens to the recorded Announcement Mailbox message for directions.
• After playing the directions, the caller routes back to the Automated Attendant for additional dialing
options.
- See the
Programming below.
By default, there are 24 Announcement Mailboxes (Routing Mailboxes 9 ~ 32). However, you can
assign any of the 32 Routing Mailboxes as an Announcement Mailbox.
The Next Call Routing Mailbox Options
The following Mailbox Routing charts show how an Announcement Mailbox handles Automated
Attendant calls.
• The first chart explains what happens when the outside call is directly answered by the
Announcement Mailbox. This happens when the Answer Table uses an Announcement Mailbox for
routing instead of a Call Routing Mailbox.
• The second chart explains what happens when the outside call is answered by a Call Routing
Mailbox and then routed to the Announcement Mailbox. This can happen, for example, when a
caller dials a digit to hear an announcement of company directions.
