IP Office Embedded Voicemail Overview IP Office Embedded Voicemail is supported on the IP Office Small Office Edition and IP Office 406 V2 control units. Embedded voicemail does not require an IP Office license. It provides basic voicemail mailbox operation without requiring a permanent voicemail server PC. It also provides multiple auto- attendant support for incoming calls.
Maximum Message Length For system other than the IP401, the default maximum message length is increased to 2 minutes. IP Office 3.0 allows this to be adjusted up to 3 minutes in the system configuration. Four Digit Mailbox Access Code Mailbox access codes, where set, are forced to a minimum of 4 digits (maximum is 15 digits).
SNMP Disk Full Warning On IP Office systems configured for SNMP, a disk full alarm is generated when the embedded voicemail memory card reaches 90% full. In addition a critical space alarm is generated at 98% full (99% for the IP406 V2) and an OK alarm is generated when the disk space returns to below 90% full.
Chinese (chs) Upgrading to IP Office 3.0 The method of transferring and handling prompts was changed in IP Office 3.0 so that prompts are no longer transferred from a Manager PC using TFTP following a system restart. For existing systems with embedded voicemail, the voicemail remains inactive after an IP Office control unit has been upgraded to 3.0.
This covers the physical installation of the memory card and if necessary voice compression channels. This process varies according to the IP Office control unit type. 3. System Configuration Set the IP Office to use embedded voicemail and set the maximum record time for messages, greetings and prompts. 4. User Mailbox Configuration Configure the personal settings for individual users.

2. Install the Memory Expansion Card The IP 406 V2 Memory Card is a Type II Compact Flash memory card. Only a card supplied by Avaya can be used for embedded voicemail. Compact Flash cards from other sources cannot be used for embedded voicemail.
The number of voice compression channels is indicated by VC and a number. As with all IP Office control units, the number of installed voice compression channels can also be check using the IP Office Monitor application. See Monitoring Embedded Voicemail.
Embedded Voicemail Installation Guide Configuring an IP Office for Embedded Voicemail The system configuration for embedded voicemail is common to all the IP Office systems that support embedded voicemail memory cards. To configure an IP Office for embedded voicemail: 1. Start IP Office Manager and receive the IP Office configuration.
Upgrading Prompts Using a Memory Card Reader This method uses a third-party memory card reader capable of reading and writing to a Type II Compact Flash memory card. It requires the IP Office to have already been upgraded to IP Office 3.0 and to be restarted.
Upgrading Prompts Using TFTP File Transfer This method uses IP Office Manager as a TFTP server to pass files from the CD drive to the memory card. It requires the IP Office to have already been upgraded to IP Office 3.0 and to be restarted.
11. When all the files have been transferred, close the Command prompt window. 12. Restart the IP Office control unit by removing and then reapplying power. 13. When the IP Office has restarted, wait approximately 10 minutes while it scans the new prompts that are available.

Hunt Group Mailbox Configuration Hunt Group Mailboxes Embedded voicemail creates a mailbox for each hunt group on the IP Office system. Calls are sent to the mailbox only when each available group member has been rung for the group's set ring time.
By default no message waiting indication is sent to any user for a hunt group mailbox. The following process shows how to give a user message waiting indication from a hunt groups mailbox. The method of indication will depend on the type of telephone the user has and whether they are using IP Office Phone Manager.
A short code can be created for hunt group mailbox access. This can be a system wide or user specific short code. For information about setting up short codes, see the IP Office Manager help or guide. The Voicemail Collect feature and hunt group mailbox name can also be assigned to a user's DSS key.
