Function 55: Message Notification - ESI 50L Administrator's Manual

ESI-50L Programming Manual

Function 55: Message notification

On a mailbox-by-mailbox basis for user or guest mailboxes, the system can be programmed to call an off-premises
number or another extension to deliver messages or dial to an external commercial paging network to activate a
user's pager. The ESI-50L will call or page when the first new message has been left in a mailbox and will repeat
(at the interval of minutes programmed in this function) until the new message(s) have been deleted, saved or
moved. The user can program either a phone or pager number. The Installer and Administrator can set, on an
individual-station basis:
• The number to be called
• A delay period
• The number of attempts (maximum of 99)
• The interval between attempts
• A "quiet period" to suspend phone delivery — e.g., late at night (the quiet period is an on-and-off time that
applies to all days of the week)
Note: Only pager or phone notification can be programmed, not both.
Function 551: Station delivery options
Programming of the station options, as shown below, can be performed by the Installer or Administrator.
In addition, the user can change his/her phone number and pager number (but not phone or pager delay
time). The phone number's maximum length is 24 digits.
1. Phone
2. Pager
To program, enter the station/extension number and choose 1 for phone number or 2 for pager number.
Then, enter:
1. Phone/pager number — The number to be dialed (without the CO line group [9, 8, or 71–76]).
2. Delay — How many minutes the system is to wait before dialing the phone or pager number.
This allows the user to pick up a message if he is in the office.
Range: 0–500. Default: 0.
3. Attempts — How many times the system will call/page.
Range: 0–99. (0 turns off delivery.) Default: 3.
4. Interval — How many minutes should elapse between attempts.
Range: 10–1440. Default: 30.
5. Quiet period on — When the quiet period should begin.
Default: (None.)
6. Quiet period off — When the quiet period should end.
Default: (None.)
Notes: For the Quiet period on or Quiet period off parameters, a value in either of 0:00 is invalid and will
cause notification not to work.
