C H A P T E R 5 Configuring The Lvs Auto-Attendant; Using The Ivr To Record Auto-Attendant Prompts - Linksys SPA9000 Administrator's Manual

Configuring Auto-Attendant
The daytime Auto-Attendant is preconfigured and enabled by default, and the first message it plays
(Prompt ID 1) is suitable for business hours.
If you want a caller to hear a different greeting during nighttime (non-business) hours, then you should
record a new prompt, such as Prompt ID 5, using the Interactive Voice Response Menu and then
configure the Auto-Attendant settings using the administration web server. For example, Prompt ID 5
could say, "The company is currently closed. Our business hours are 9 AM to 5 PM, Monday to Friday."
When the Auto-Attendant is enabled, it parses and operates on user input (key presses or DTMF tones)
following the rules specified in the Auto-Attendant dial plan of the SPA9000. These rules are specified
by the AA Dial Plan parameters found on the Voice - SIP screen of the administration web server. For
information about configuring the AA Dial Plan, refer to the
Auto-Attendant" section on page

Users can listen, record, their customized greeting, menu, warning, ending, and so on from IVR, using
code 72255. Users can also erase a recorded prompt from IVR.
The recorded prompt is encoded with G.711U and saved in flash. However, these customized prompts
are erased when a factory reset is performed.
The maximum length of each prompt is one minute. Users can customize up to 94.5 seconds of audio in
addition to the default prompts. When there is not enough memory left, the IVR menu ends the recording
automatically. The user can check the AA prompts status from the Auto-Attendant Prompt Status section
on the administration web server Voice-Info page.
