Press 3 to Enter Enable String

The 'Enable String' and 'Disable String' may contain maximum 16 characters. If the
strings are not 16 characters long, you may press '#' to terminate the entry and go to the
next prompt. After entering the strings, press 1 to accept or cancel and return to
previous menu by pressing 9.
Example: If the 'Enable String' is '*761E', you have to enter '**761*3'.
1.5.1.6 In-band Strings:
Some PBX systems signal the status of a call that was transferred to an extension by
sending a string called "In-band signaling strings". In such cases, it is necessary to have a
special method for entering non-digit values as described earlier.
Maximum number of characters allowed = 16
Press the # key if the total number of digits entered is less than the maximum allowed.
After you press 6 for In-band Strings, you will hear the following prompt:

Press 1 for Wait Time for 1st Digit.

Press 2 for Wait Time between Digits.

Press 3 for Mailbox Login String.

Press 4 for Busy String.

Press 5 for Alternative Busy String.

Press 6 for No-Answer String.

Press 7 For Alternate No-answer String.

Press 8 for Other Strings (Hang up string and Invalid string)
Wait Time For 1st Digit: This is the maximum time up to which the EZ VMS Lite waits
after going off hook to receive the in-band strings. Enter new value in two-digit format.
The wait time value ranges from 00 to 99 where the actual wait time is equal to the
entered value multiplied by 50 milliseconds. The Default value = 30
If this value is set too small by the installer, the EZ VMS Lite may miss the first few digits
of the string or treat the digits as extension transfer digits. If this value is set too high,
outside callers may find a slightly longer silence between the time the unit answers the
call and the main greeting starts playing.
Wait Time Between Digits: This is the maximum time the unit waits in between digits for
the PBX to send the next digit of the In-band string. Enter the new value in two-digit
format in the range 00 to 99. The actual wait time equals the entered value multiplied by
10 milliseconds. The Default value = 20.
If the PBX does not send the next digit by the time this wait time elapses, the unit
processes the digits dialed so far and proceeds accordingly.
