Voice Mail Overflow - NEC Aspire S IntraMail System Manual

Voice Mail Overflow
Description
The telephone system can automatically reroute unanswered outside calls to the IntraMail Automated Atten-
dant. Voice Mail Overflow ensures that IntraMail will pick up calls that don't go through. This allows callers
to leave a message rather than having to call back later. Voice Mail can be the overflow destination for the
following types of calls:
■
Direct Inward Line (DIL) Overflow
A trunk that directly rings an extension can overflow to that extension's mailbox if not answered.
■ Incoming Ring Groups
A trunk ringing an extension's line keys can overflow to the IntraMail Automated Attendant.
■ Department Calling Groups
A call to a Department Group master (pilot) number can overflow to IntraMail if unanswered. The over-
flow destination is the Master Mailbox assigned to the Department Group. The Master Mailbox can be a:
- Call Routing Mailbox
This gives the Department Group caller additional dialing options if their call is unanswered.
- Announcement Mailbox
This plays a prerecorded announcement to the Department Group caller if their call is unanswered.
The Announcement Mailbox can then hang up or provide additional dialing options.
- Subscriber Mailbox
The Department Group caller can leave a message in the groups master mailbox. A Member of the
group can then retrieve the message later on.
The call into the Department Group can be one of the following:
- A Direct Inward Line to the Department Group master (pilot) number.
- A Screened Transfer from the IntraMail Automated Attendant to the Department Group master
(pilot) number.
- An Unscreened Transfer from the IntraMail Automated Attendant to the Department Group master
(pilot) number.
