System Manager's Guide 555-661-118
4 Features and Applications
Applications
The system provides two specific features that work with voice mail
systems: Direct Voice Mail and Coverage VMS Off. Direct Voice Mail
allows transfer of a caller to a voice mail box, without ringing the mailbox
owner at his or her extension. Voice mail can be designated to cover calls
in the same fashion that a calling group can; Coverage VMS allows a user
to turn this feature on or off and requires a programmed button. Consider
how you might take advantage of these features in your company.
NOTE:
In Release 6.1 and later systems, the voice messaging system on one
MERLIN LEGEND system can be shared by other MERLIN LEGEND
systems. This is called "Centralized Voice Messaging." For Centralized
Voice Messaging, the systems must be directly connected by tie or PRI
tandem trunks, and all systems must be in Hybrid/PBX mode. See the
Network Reference for details.
NOTE:
Before planning voice messaging, see the Security Alert on
Also consult "Security of Your System: Preventing Toll Fraud," in Appendix
A, "Customer Support Information."
NOTE:
In Release 3.1 and later systems, all VMI ports are by default
restricted from outcalling in Hybrid/PBX systems, using an extension
FRL of 0. VMI ports are automatically assigned a special Disallowed
List that restricts many types of calls made by fraudulent callers. In
addition, these ports are outward-restricted. For more information,
see "Calling Restrictions" on page 4–43.
