HKC Technology Limited Voice Mail Configuration Introduction The Interactive Voice Response (IVR) function is a built in feature in the Cordless Telephone System. It integrates voice mail, auto attendant, and day / night modes solutions. The target of IVR is to meet all the voice processing requirements in today’s SOHO communications.
HKC Technology Limited Voice Mail Related Setting by Computer (See PC programming Guide) Mailbox The System provides 10 mailboxes. You can attach any user’s extension to a mailbox. The mailbox number should be the same as the user’s extension number.
Page 47
HKC Technology Limited Password for Every Mailbox Every mailbox has a 4-digit password and the user can modify it at any time at his/her extension (Menu Voicemail Password). There is no default password in Ex-factory setting and the user has to created password. [0000] is reserved for the system.
HKC Technology Limited Operation Go to next message Repeat current message Delete current message Double 0 Delete all old messages Double 8 Message Copying The system can copy a message from your mailbox to another mailbox in 2 ways: When you have listened to a message, you can copy this message to another mailbox.
HKC Technology Limited The System should open the user menu of mailbox X for message checking. Listen to the new message. After the message is played, hang up. The System will send the new message signal to the extension X to indicate that there is no new message in mailbox X and turn off the Voice Mail Indicator.

HKC Technology Limited Set Auto Message Copy Fig. 9: Set Message Copy Administration by Phone There are 2 levels of administration provided by system user level and administrator level. By a phone call, provided the system is in Auto Attendant mode, user or administrator can change some parameters in the system.
Page 52
HKC Technology Limited There is a user menu providing selections to the normal mailbox user. Most of the selections are related to mailbox customization. Hence, the mailbox owner can control their mailbox by a phone call remotely. Mailbox owners can call directly to the system by accessing the voice prompt ((Menu voice mail voice prompt).
HKC Technology Limited Auto Attendant Day / Night / Afternoon The Auto Attendant has several modes of operation. The System can be programmed to have either ªDay, Night or Afternoon modesº. The Day and Night modes have two parameters: greeting and operator number. In day mode, there is day greeting (or normal company greeting) and day operator number for Auto Attendant operation.
HKC Technology Limited suitable after hours message can be recorded. Setting: see call features configuration 2.1 Other Auto Attendant Features Announcement Message There are 4 announcements for Auto Attendant feature. Each announcement can have a maximum recording time of 10 minutes.
Page 55
HKC Technology Limited Auto Attendant features memory Reset This can be accessed by system programming (see call features configuration 5.4). All the Auto Attendant features settings will return to their default values without erasing the announcement. Note: When factory default setting is restored, the Auto Attendant features memory is also reset.
HKC Technology Limited Multi-level Interactive Voice Response The Multi-level Interactive Voice Response IVR feature allows the caller to access a function via a series of key press selections. It can be a voice prompt of a product description, a message prepared by the system owner, a call transfer option to select a person, a voice mailbox, etc.
HKC Technology Limited Configuration of IVR Call Flow This feature should be set by using PC programming. Before doing the configuration of IVR call flow, you should have finished the call flow design. It is recommended that you write down the flow on a piece of paper, so that you have a clear picture of the call flow. This procedure can prevent a lot of mistakes (such as infinite close looping or long waiting without termination) in your call flow.
Page 58
HKC Technology Limited Functions of Announcement On the right hand side of the configuration window, you can put the function for each key press when an announcement is playing. The last row is EOM (end of message). It defines the function when there is no input from the listener upon expiration of the waiting time.
HKC Technology Limited Announcement Recording In the lower portion of the configuration window, there are buttons for you to play, record or delete the voice message part of an announcement box. IVR Call Flow and Configuration Example Here we repeat the previous call flow diagram with announcement numbers input: Fig.
Page 60
HKC Technology Limited You don't need to put an announcement number to the termination box in your call flow, because the termination box is always equal to the hang up operation. You can clearly define the hang up operation in the announcement boxes prior to the termination.
HKC Technology Limited Termination of Call Flow On your call flow, you should always remember to terminate a branch appropriately. Otherwise, the listener will be directed to some unknown state. The System is then unable to bring the listener back to any announcement box if the listener has entered such an unknown state.
