Mailboxes and other features In this chapter you’ll continue to configure the IN THIS CHAPTER InnLine IP system by setting up mailboxes and other useful features. Introduction to mailboxes You can set up mailboxes for guests, staff, the front Adding mailboxes desk, and administrators.
Mailboxes: an introduction This section introduces you to the various mailboxes and mailbox IDs you can use with the InnLine IP system. Guest mailbox This mailbox allows callers to leave messages for guests. When the mailbox is accessed directly, new messages will be played to the guest with a date/time stamp spoken before the message.
Page 25
Play Prompt Callers forwarded to this mailbox will be presented with a prompt mailbox recorded by the installer or property. You can also send the caller to another mailbox or mailbox ID after the prompt finishes, such as back to the Automated Attendant.
Page 26
Select Language This specialized mailbox allows the caller to choose another language. It mailbox may be used in conjunction with auto-attendant schemes. Question & This specialized mailbox can be configured to present pre-recorded Answer mailbox questions (up to 9) and record a response to each question. The responses are then combined into one message and delivered to a staff or front desk mailbox.
Mailbox IDs • GOODBYE. When this mailbox ID is used, such as with a key press from the Automated Attendant or a Menu mailbox, the caller hears the system say “Goodbye,” and then is disconnected from the system. • HANGUP. When this mailbox ID is used, the caller is disconnected from the system without warning.
Adding guest mailboxes Follow this procedure to add new guest mailboxes. Before entering mailboxes, it is a good idea to have a copy of the hotel’s room numbering plan. Adding mailboxes one at a time 1. Click the Do button of the InnLine IP main screen and then select Configure System.
Page 29
For most users, the extension is all the information you need to enter. For information on what the other fields control and how to set them, see Guest mailboxes in Chapter 3. 4. Press Enter or click OK to finish creating the mailbox. The guest mailbox you created is now displayed as an icon in the window (7101 in the illustration below).
Adding multiple mailboxes Once you have created a mailbox, you can quickly create more using the Copy and Range Duplicate commands. To create a mailbox based on an existing mailbox: 1. Right-click on the mailbox you want to copy, and select the Copy command from the menu that appears.
2. Enter the starting number of the range of new mailboxes in the From Mailbox field. Use the Tab key to move to the Through Mailbox field, and enter the ending number of the range. If a second (or a third) extension exists for the guest rooms, choose the add offset ] to mailbox option, adding the appropriate offset value.
Page 32
2. Double-click the New Mailbox icon, as shown in the previous illustration. 3. In the next window that appears, enter the staff extension number, then press Enter or click OK. The following window appears. The extension number you entered appears in the Extension field.
The staff mailbox you created is now displayed as an icon in the window (1000 in the illustration below). You can continue to add staff mailboxes one at a time. If you need to add many staff mailboxes with similar settings, use the Copy or Range Duplicate options explained in the previous section.
Use this tab to control whether the front desk mailbox can reset a staff mailbox and reset a staff mailbox’s passcode for a new user. Choose whether to enable or disable these controls, and click OK. The front desk mailbox you created is now displayed as an icon in the window (2000 in the illustration below).
Page 35

Double-click the New Mailbox icon, as shown in the previous illustration. 3. In the next window that appears, enter the desired mailbox number, then press Enter or click OK.
Checking your maximum mailbox number size The maximum mailbox number size refers to the largest mailbox you may have programmed in the system. If the number is larger than necessary, system prompting when indirectly logging into mailboxes is delayed slightly. If the number is smaller than necessary, the system will be unable to detect mailboxes assigned higher numbers.
Defining the guest services class The guest services class controls which prompting and options will be available to the guest mailboxes that belong to it. The following features are controlled by guest service classes: • AGS menus • Tutorials • Tutorial introduction and conclusion prompts •...
Page 38
The following window appears. 3. Enter settings in the window as needed. Change the Service Class Name if needed. Note that the Custom Prompts and Automatic Messages fields are blank. If left blank, the system default prompts will be used. Either re-enter the prompt letters entered in the Default service class (which you can view by clicking the Default icon shown above), or enter new letters and record your own prompts.
Page 39
The Guest Mailbox window appears. 6. Click the Service Class menu at the bottom of the window and choose the service class you just created. If you did not create a service class, leave the setting at Default. 7. Press Enter or click OK to save the change. Note: If you use the Range Duplicate command with this mailbox, the duplicated mailboxes will be assigned to the same service class.
Prompt administration Prompts are voice recordings used by the system. InnLine IP allows some prompts to be customized by the installer or the end user. There are two ways to administer prompts in the system: • Using the InnLine IP’s GUI (graphical user interface) •...
Page 41
4. Click the Dial button to display the following window. 5. Enter the extension or telephone number you want the system to call. By default, the last voice port is used to dial out, but you can enter a new Voice port number or change it by clicking the up and down arrows.
You can type the script of your recording in the Script field. This field is for informational purposes only; it is not required for recording. 7. When you click the Record button, the system will provide you with a tone to start the recording process.
Page 43
2. Double-click the New Mailbox icon, as shown in the following illustration. 3. Select the Record Prompt option in the list and then press Enter or click OK. 4. Enter the mailbox ID in the next window and click OK. The following window appears.
Page 44
5. Enter GWAKEUP1 in the Prompt to Re-record field (entering a new name will preserve the original), then enter a passcode to protect and allow access to this mailbox. Click OK when you finish. The Next Mailbox field is optional. •...
Translations Whenever a call is forwarded or comes directly from an extension to the voicemail system, the PBX communicates the extension number to the InnLine IP application, which interprets it as the mailbox number to use for that call. To associate a PBX extension number with a mailbox of a different number, you will need to add a translation.
5. In the next window, enter the extension number you want to translate, followed by the mailbox to which you’re translating. 6. Press Enter or click OK to finish adding the translation. Adding multiple translations 1. Open the Port Type window and click the Translations tab, as explained in the previous section.
4. Add a numeric offset to determine the mailbox number from the extension. The numeric offset is the difference between the mailbox and extension numbers. If the mailbox you’re translating to is lower in value than the extension range, enter a negative number. 5.

available guest service functions and assigning them to buttons on the menu. A guest accesses this menu by pressing the Star (*) key during message review. The following section explains how to set up an automated guest service (AGS) menu. For an explanation of each guest service, see Guest services menus in Chapter 3.
Page 49
3. Add services to the menu using the following options: • Drag a guest service from the list on the right side over an <Empty> listing in the Guest Services menu, and release the mouse. • Double-click an <Empty> listing in the Guest Services menu and choose the guest service from the list in the next window.
Page 50
The [Connect To Phone Number] guest service requires additional programming. Double-clicking on this service, once assigned to the Guest Services menu, will make the following window appear. If the phone number to which you’re connecting is a restaurant, for example, you should record Open and Closed prompts.
advertise that it is presently closed, and state the times that the establishment is open. Using this configuration requires that you record a new Main Menu prompt (such as AGS1), since the system doesn’t know how to advertise number 5 of the menu.
If you want individual key press options in the automated attendant menu, enter valid mailboxes or mailbox IDs in the Key Mailbox fields. The auto attendant’s Greeting prompt is customized by Innovation to include the hotel’s name before shipping. You may want Innovation to further customize the prompts, based on the menu options you want.
Page 53
You will need to record these prompts if they haven’t been pre-loaded by Connected Guests. In the Greeting Prompt field, the file recording AAGRTD is referenced, as shown in the previous illustration. You can record over this file, but it’s a good practice to enter a new file name in the field.
Page 54
The next step is to create mailboxes for directions, reservations, and sales. You will create the Directions mailbox first. In this example, you will identify mailboxes in the Key Mailbox fields with alphabetical characters as opposed to numeric ones. Using alphabetical characters to identify mailboxes gives the installer or system administrator a better idea of each Key Mailbox’s function at first glance.
Page 55
The Key 1 Mailbox is referencing DIRECTIONS. Since you want to give the caller directions to the hotel from two locations (from downtown or the airport), you will create a Menu mailbox. 2. Click the Menu option in the Select New Mailbox Type window and then click OK.
Page 56
6. Next, reference the mailboxes in the three selections just advertised. Again, use alphabetical characters to identify the mailboxes. • Enter AIRPORT in the Key 1 Mailbox field and DOWNTOWN in the Key 2 Mailbox field. • Enter DIRECTIONS in the Key * Mailbox field. This is how you can repeat the Menu prompt to the caller.
Page 57
7. Click OK to close the Menu Mailbox window. The system displays warnings because the AIRPORT and DOWNTOWN mailboxes don’t exist. Click OK to dismiss each warning. The next step is to create the AIRPORT and DOWNTOWN mailboxes. To create the AIRPORT and DOWNTOWN mailboxes: 1.
6. Follow the immediately preceding steps (1-5) to create a Play Prompt mailbox for DOWNTOWN. This mailbox is referenced in the Key 2 Mailbox field of the Menu Mailbox window. Back in the Attendant 1 screen, the Key 2 Mailbox references RESERVATIONS. If the caller presses 2, you want to transfer them to a reservations answer point.
Step 1: Review and adjust the Call Forward settings for guests and staff Adjust the following settings as needed for your installation. Most InnConnect applications work well using the system’s default settings. The following table explains the Call Forward settings for staff and guests. Parameters Description Default...
Parameters Description Default Record Caller Name These prompts ask callers to record their SCFNAME Prompt name for screening purposes (“At the GCFNAME tone record your name so I may say who is calling”). Screening Name Amount of time that callers can record 3000ms Record Period their name during screening.
Step 3 (optional): Make InnConnect part of the guest tutorial If you’re using a tutorial for guests, you may want InnConnect as one item to be offered. This will offer guests prompts to set up call forwarding for their mailbox the first time they access voice mail.
2. Double-click a staff mailbox and check the Missed Forward Notification box in the General tab. The Missed Forward Notification feature is automatically on for guests by default. When this box is checked, the system will send this mailbox a message in the event a forwarded call was missed.
On an 8-port system (which is the minimum port size for this feature), we recommend that you configure port 7 for call forwarding outdial functions. 1. In the system tree, click Voice Ports, then double-click the port icon you want to configure for outdial functions.
Reports InnLine IP’s reports can be generated on demand from a front desk mailbox or via the software’s user interface. In addition, reports can also be generated automatically at the same time each day. They are typically sent to a fax machine, although the system can be configured to send them to a printer.
Page 65
If the fax machine you want to send reports to is connected to a PBX station, simply enter the station number in the Reports are faxed to field, without the “9.” INNLINE IP Installation guide Chapter 2: Mailboxes & other features...
Programming reports to generate automatically 1. If you want reports to be generated automatically, click the Add button in the Report Settings window, which is shown in the previous illustration. The following window appears. 2. Click the Report to Print box and select a report from the menu that appears. 3.

Add-on features IN THIS CHAPTER The add-on features described in this chapter are UniKey activated items. PrivateLine When the add-on features are enabled, fields that Wake-up off-loading were shaded become accessible. Additional icons, guest services options, and new reporting options are displayed.
PrivateLine PrivateLine gives a hotel the ability to assign guests a DID (direct inward dial) telephone number during their stay. In the past, DID numbers were always fixed or “hard wired” to the same guest room extensions. This made DID numbers for hotel guests impractical, since the possibility existed that the next guest would receive the previous guest’s phone calls.
If the Device Settings button on this screen is active (not shaded), then further configuration is required for the selected Mode/External Device. Refer to the PrivateLine PBX installation guide for Device Setting configuration. The options in the PrivateLine Settings window are explained in more detail in the following table.
2. Click Add. Because you are only adding one DID number at this point, leave the Single Phone Number option selected and click Next. 3. Enter the complete DID phone number. In the next field, “and its associated ID Number”, enter the DNIS digits sent by the DID provider. Leave the “Assign to:”...
2. Add the remaining DID phone numbers that guests will use by clicking Add and using the Range of Phone Numbers function. When you add a block of phone numbers, the ID numeric offset field can stay at 0 if the DNIS digit number match the last four digits of the DID phone number. As an example of when you would set the ID numeric offset field to a value other than 0, suppose that the DID phone number 608-798-5102 yields DNIS digits of 102.
Guest/Other Phone Number function buttons The following options are available in the Guest Phone Numbers and Other Phone Numbers sections of the Tenants tree. • Use the Add button to add a single number or range of DID phone numbers. •...
Page 175
The options in the Phone Numbers tab of the Service Class window are explained in more detail in the following table. Parameter Description Default Automatically assign Controls automatic assignment of DID phone Checked phone numbers at numbers. When InnLine receives a check-in, check-in phone number(s) will be automatically assigned when checked.
Auto-print X phone Controls the number of DID phone number number cards at cards printed at check-in. Up to five cards Checked check-in may be printed. Step 7: Adjust the phone # card printing information This step controls certain aspects of the text that is printed to the DID phone number card.
Card stock (White non-adhesive 30374 is recommended) may be customized with the properties logo at the top. Contact your Connected Guests sales representative for more information. Step 8: Connecting the Dymo Printer Server & Dymo LabelWriter 450 devices. The DID card printer software is preloaded and is set to automatically run. Another program, called the Telephone Number Card Print Server, will be minimized on the task bar of the InnLine IP system.

While the second method has definite advantages over the first (i.e. you don’t have to run a dedicated cable – 300 ft. maximum length or dedicate the second NIC on the InnLine IP server for just this purpose), you will need to adjust what IP address the Print Server and LabelWriter devices are using.

Step 10 (optional): Adding PrivateLine options to the Guest Services Menu (AGS) With the PrivateLine feature enabled, two new features will appear in the Guest Services list: • Hear Assigned Phone Numbers. Use this feature in a Guest Services Menu to allow guests to hear their assigned DID phone number(s) at any time.
Step 11: Configure PrivateLine reports Reports With the PrivateLine feature enabled, two new reports are available: • Phone Number Status Report. This report shows each DID number and the station to which it is currently routed. • Phone Number Billing Report. This report shows the amount of time (in tenths of hours) that a DID number has been assigned to a guest’s station.
