1. Overview EVM Voice Mail System works with telephone system (PBX) to automate the call answering, voice messaging, and call transferring. EVM Voice Mail System provides three services: - Automated Attendant (AA) Service answers calls and transfers the calls to pre-defined destinations or destinations that callers select;...
2. Installation Connection Description of EVM-8XA LINE LINE 13VDC PROG BATT Audio 13VDC: the main power connector, which is for connecting to the power transformer included in the EVM-8X package. BATT: the backup-power connector, which is for connecting to a rechargeable battery (12V/7AH is recommended).
blue wires are for the L4 port. LINE 5~8: the Group 2 analog telephone line ports, which are also for connecting to the PBX only if the EVM system is already equipped with an EVM83-4LC card. “Methods of Recording Audio-In: the audio input port. For more information, see Announcements”.

3. How to Start EVM Programming Logging in to the System Program To perform the EVM programming, you need to log in to the System Program and the Administration Program. To set Special External Phone numbers and the related Remote Switch Access numbers, you need to log in to some of the Mailbox Programs of the special mailboxes...

4. Feature Descriptions and Administration This chapter describes the features that can be administered by the system administrator. Business Schedule and Control With the Weekly Working Hour schedule (ADM_3) and the Holiday schedule (ADM_7), the EVM can automatically change the mode of AA service. Also, the system administrator can manually control the mode of AA service, by using the Schedule Control menu (ADM_1), or manually activates the closed-hour mode by using the Night switch.
Announcements Administration To administer announcements, you will use the Announcement Administration menu (ADM_2). Administrable announcements are information announcements and the prompts/greetings that are identified by the paragraph codes as shown in table 4-1. The paragraph codes indicate the purposes of the recorded messages. Up to four messages can be recorded for the same purpose by using the recording language options.

ADM_5_9911 ~ ADM_5_9919 are used to assign the recorded messages to menu groups. Notification Greeting “Hello! There are messages in your mailbox, please enter your password to listen.” The purpose is to provide the message a mailbox owner hears on answering a call of Message Notification.

“For Don’t Disturb message, dial 1. For owner name, dial 2. For busy prompt, dial 3. For no-answer prompt, dial 4. For message distribution, dial 5.” Response to DND-ON Selection (VM_3) “The Do Not Disturb function is set.” Mailbox owners hear this response on dialing 3 (To revise the Do Not Disturb) from the main menu if the previous option is "DND-OFF";...
Amount of Messages “You have X messages.” The mailbox owners whose mailboxes have messages will first hear this message when logging in to their mailbox programs. Only the built-in message can report the number of messages. Auxiliary Message of Personal Busy / No-answer Prompts “Dial # sign to leave a message.”...
Call Transfer The EVM can transfer a call to an internal phone, a group external phone, a special external phone or a mailbox owner’s personal external phone. SYS_1 is used to define the extension numbers to identify internal phones and group external phones.
Available Services for Extension Numbers When a caller dials an extension number, the EVM will process the call as follows. The extension number is already assigned to a mailbox owner: If the mailbox owner has specified his/her Follow-me destination, transfers the call to it.
Available Services to No-answer Phones Upon answering or reconnecting a call, whose original destination is a "Ring No Answer" phone, the EVM provides the caller an appropriate service, one of the following. Plays the General No-answer Prompt if the original destination is not a mailbox owner's internal phone.
Available Services to Busy Phones Upon answering or reconnecting a call, whose original destination is a busy phone, the EVM provides the caller an appropriate service, one of the following. Plays the General Busy Prompt if the original destination is not a mailbox owner's internal phone.
Information Menus Information menus are used to provide the frequently requested information to callers. Callers can choose a main menu from the AA Service options to start searching the information the information menu group provides. Hearing an information announcement, callers can: - Dial * (default) to repeat the announcement.
menu 89; dial 1 to select menu 8911 from menu 891. 2-digit numbers beginning with the same first digit may be used to create the main menus of break-hour menu groups or the main menus of closed-hour menu groups. For example, ADM_5_9904_[x2xx] is already specified and two messages are already recorded as the announcements of the menus 28, 29, so callers can dial 8 to select menu 28 from the AA Service options or dial 9 to select menu 29, during the closed hours.
capacity of the mutual mailbox (9999). In an EVM-8X system, mailboxes 9990~9998 are used as stacked mailboxes. For example, mailbox 9998 and mailbox 9997, if created, are stacked under the mutual mailbox. While the mutual mailbox is full of messages, the new messages will be deposited into the mailbox 9998; while mailbox 9998 is also full of messages, the mailbox 9997 is used.
Personal External Telephone Numbers A mailbox owner administers his/her personal external phone number by setting the VM_6 of the mailbox program. In addition to using the personal external phone to answer the calls of External Phone Notification, the mailbox owner can have the EVM transfer his/her calls to the personal external phone, by setting the function code *6 to the VM_8 and/or VM_9.
*6 (programmed by pressing **6)= the personal phone number specified in the VM_6 Empty= not using this feature Message Distribution A mailbox owner can record a message and send it to all of the mailboxes on a Mailbox Group list at the same time simply by using the list number (1~8).
5. System Configuration This chapter describes the settings to be programmed by the installer. Number Plan Number Plan includes: - Extension numbers - An Operator Code - AA Service Language Codes - One-digit Speed Dialing numbers - The menu number of each of information menus ...
- Supervised Transfer (Options 10~99= number of seconds of the Ring Duration) - If the Error tone or Busy tone is detected, retrieve the call. - If the ringback tone is detected, monitors successive ringback tone cycles. If the called party answers, release the call.
- If the Busy tone is detected, retrieves the call. - Supervised Transfer - Retrieves the call when the Error tone or busy tone is detected. - If the ringback tone cycle is detected, monitors the successive ringback tone cycles. Releases the call when the called party answers.
1. Establishes the connection of access to the PBX by using an idle port (L2 or L4). 2. If SYS_4_5_[2] is specified, waits one second and then starts Step 3. If not, starts the dial tone detection: - When the dial tone is detected, start Step 3. - If 3-second silence is detected, abandons the following actions and plays the main greeting as receiving an incoming call.
interval between the attempts is a minimum of 6.5 minutes. Internal Phone Notification To deliver the Notification greeting (paragraph 22) to an internal phone, EVM will take the following actions: 1. Establishes the connection of access to the PBX by using an idle port (L2 or L4). 2.
If you hear a beep on entering SYS_7_6, it means that the Automatic System Configuration mode has not completed setting up the Busy Tone Cycle Lengths or the Ringback Tone Cycle Lengths. SYS_7_7, the Tone Cycle Record menu, always remains the time lengths of the last two cycles of the last tone detection;...
To ensure getting correct information, please make calls of the same type twice. If you sometimes heard the main greeting instead of a string of digits, you need to lengthen the ID DTMF Detection time. If any Type code sometimes does not start from the same digit position inside each of the related Digit strings, you need to enable the PBX to delay sending out DTMF Digit strings.
