1.1 Introduction The AlcatelLucent 4645 voice mail (or eva for ebusiness Voice Application) is designed for users connected to an OmniPCX Enterprise type system. The 4645 application is a multiservice voice application that primarily offers a voice mail service. This service enables callers to leave a message in a user's voice mailbox when the user is busy or absent. The user mailbox can store up to 50 messages (depending on configuration); this means the user will not miss calls. The 4645 application also offers the following services Voice mail features (messaging) allow the owner of a mailbox to receive messages and send messages to other users. Automated Attendant (automatic switchboard) provides the features that allow the voice mail system to act like an attendant answer incoming calls, transfer them to the requested number, and present general company information. IMAP allows mailbox owners to consult their voice mail from a remote PC connected to the IP network. VPIM allows the voice mail system to be connected with other voice mail systems (ALE International or other manufacturers) via the IP network. Information messages present company information (opening times, description of departments (marketing, etc.) to callers. Implementing this type of service involves configuring specific Automated Attendant parameter settings. Ubiquity enables a caller to select various options (offered by an Ubiquity assistant) when the caller cannot reach the user requested. The Ubiquity assistant is created by configuring specific Automated Attendant parameter settings. A complete detailed description of the Ubiquity assistant service is given in the OmniPCX Enterprise documentation. 1.2 Hardware architecture The 4645 application is loaded on a CPU board that can be dedicated to this application or also contain the Communication Server (Call Handling) application. The CPU board is installed in a slot in the OmniPCX Enterprise main cabinet, or peripheral cabinet if dedicated solely to the 4645 application. Example connection 6/48
$% % & It is assumed that the system has been installed and that a basic configuration has already been implemented. 1.3 General information for using this manual This manual is for both installers responsible for installing and configuring the 4645 application and system administrators responsible for maintaining or upgrading the application. This document does not specify whether management operations are the installer's or administrator's responsibility. The installer or administrator must, depending on customer specifications, follow or refer to the applicable management sections. To simplify explanations and procedures, the term manager is used throughout the document to refer to both administrator and technician tasks. 1.4 Accessing management programs A manager can access 4645 application management programs from a terminal (VT100 or PC), using the management tool provided (47xx or mgr). The management terminal must be connected to the Communication Server CPU for 4645 application management, even if the application is run on a dedicated CPU. This manual does not describe or provide an overview of management tool commands. Only the path in the object hierarchy and the list of attributes comprising this hierarchy (and their 7/48

3.1 Overview When messages are frequently sent to a group of users, a distribution list containing the addresses of these users may be established as a destination (recipient) address. In the context of 4645 voice mail, each distribution list features a mailbox with a directory number and an identifier name. The manager can specify up to 50 users per distribution list (30 for the Starter Pack). 3.2 Principle Distribution lists are declared in two steps 1. Using the management tool, the manager creates a number of voice mailboxes corresponding to the required number of distribution lists. A directory number and identifier name must be declared for each mailbox. 2. For each distribution list created, the manager enters the associated users. This step can be performed from a set by logging on with the directory number and password configured for the mailbox. When connected, the manager can create or modify the distribution list using the mailbox options menu. Remarks A distribution list can only be deleted using the management tool, not from a set. The set used can be any type, Reflexes set, analog set, IP Phone, etc. 3.3 Configuring distribution lists 3.3.1 Creating a distribution list The mailbox used to create the distribution list is declared in specific 4645 voice mail parameters. During creation, you must assign a directory number to the mailbox using the same procedure followed for system users. Once created, the directory number of the distribution list mailbox is shown in a table under the Users object. Important The existing dialing plan must be taken into account so that conflicts between mailbox directory numbers and user directory numbers are avoided. At 4546 voice mail service creation, the system automatically creates mailboxes with directory numbers 00 ( for Administrators) and 01 (for Automatic Attendant). Procedure 1. Select Applications > Voice Mail > Descend hierarchy > 4645 VM Automated Attendant 2. Select Create. 17/48

4.1 Overview The 4645 voice mail service offers users two types of mailbox Standard mailboxes Guest mailboxes Each type is described in detail below. 4.1.1 Standard mailbox The Standard mailbox is commonly used for voice mail services. It is dedicated to a set (UA, Z, or IP) whose owner is the only person allowed to access and manage messages. When users connect to their mailbox for the first time, they must record their name and enter a secret code that will be requested at each subsequent connection. The Standard mailbox offers all standard voice mail services 4.1.2 Caller greeting by a customized announcement (personal greeting) Access and reply to messages left in the mailbox Send messages to one or more people (either one at a time or via a distribution list) Modify name and password for mailbox access, etc. Guest mailbox The Guest mailbox is commonly used in a hotel type environment. At checkin, guests are automatically assigned a mailbox. A password and the desired language are assigned; guests simply record their names on initial connection to the mailbox. The password enables guests to access their mailbox from their hotel room. The mailbox generally has a limited number of services compared with those offered by the Standard mailbox. There are some restrictions 4.2 Messages in the mailbox cannot be stored The guest connected to the mailbox cannot send messages to another guest's mailbox Name and secret code cannot be modified by the owner of the mailbox Principle To become a 4645 voice mail user, an individual must be assigned a mailbox.

5.1 Overview This chapter covers Automated Attendant features which allow a caller to be guided to a company department or to a user for assistance. The Automated Attendant can also help when there are many calls. In the context of the AlcatelLucent 4645 application, the Automated Attendant can be thought of as an information center that can be adapted using its specific mailboxes. To do this, the AlcatelLucent 4645 voice mail service offers two types of mailbox Automated Attendant Entry or AA Entry mailbox Automated Attendant Menu or AA Menu mailbox Note 1 The AA Menu mailbox can be used independent of the Automated Attendant for the requirements of an Audiotext, or narrative, information message service. Note 2 AA is used for Automated Attendant throughout this document. Use of an AA to assist an attendant when there is heavy traffic or when the attendant is absent involves the use of a calendar to manage the AA opening and closing times. Example The AA takes over from the attendant when the attendant leaves (e.g. at 6 pm ) to enable calls to be routed to departments that remain open until a later time (e.g. 7 pm). For this to happen, the manager must use the entity concept. This can be visualized as a company department that distributes calls, offering specific discrimination. The entity can change installation (system) status over the time period of a day, according to requirements. 5.1.1 The AA Entry mailbox The AA Entry mailbox is the entry point for any AA and is configured as a greeting mailbox. Principle A message presenting the company or requested department is played to callers arriving on the AA. After a caller has listened to the announcement, the caller is asked to select a language for subsequent voice guide messages. Once a language has been selected, the caller is typically routed to an AA Menu mailbox. While the message is being played, callers can access their mailbox (if one is located on the system) by using the # key. This key can be enabled in system management. If the key is not enabled, callers can still press it to stop the greeting message and move on to the next action offered by the AA. Structure 30/48
( 5.1.2 The AA Menu mailbox The AA Menu mailbox is configured as a menu box. It offers a number of choices to the caller on his set and can be used as a final recipient for the AA Entry mailbox. AA Menu mailboxes can be linked to divide the selection process into several steps, by designating another AA Menu mailbox as the destination. Principle A caller routed to the AA Menu mailbox gets a voice guide asking the caller to select a number ('1' to '9') on the set keypad. Note While the guide presenting the mailbox menu is being played, the callers can access their mailbox (if one is located on the system) by using the # key. This key is enabled in system management. After the guide presenting the menu has been played, there are two possibilities 31/48
Chapter ( 5 The caller makes no choice In this case, a voice guide requests caller feedback, and the mailbox menu voice guide is played again. This is performed three times. If the caller has not made a choice after three times, the call is ended. The caller makes an incorrect choice. In this case, a voice guide informs the caller of the mistake, and the mailbox menu voice guide is played again. This is performed three times. If the caller has not made a correct choice after three times, the call is ended. Each number represents a service offered by the AA. The services offered are Title Meaning Not used No service is offered Reach PreConfigured Mailbox/AA Direct transfer to a preconfigured user Transfer To PreConfig.

( 5.2 Operating procedure The AA is declared in two steps. 1. Using the management tool, the manager must create the AA mailboxes. These mailboxes are characterized by The directory number of the 4645 voice mail service The type of mailbox assigned (AA Entry or AA Menu) The specific parameters of the selected mailbox 33/48
Chapter 5 ( 2. For each mailbox created, the manager must customize the message played to callers. For an AA Entry mailbox, a company greeting message AA Menu mailbox, a message listing the features offered by the mailbox This step can only be performed from an installation set by logging on with the directory number and secret code previously configured for the mailbox. When connected, the manager can record, modify, or delete the message using the mailbox options menu. Important If no message is recorded and confirmed, the callers receive a preprogrammed system message when they reache the mailbox. For an AA Entry mailbox, this could be Welcome, you are connected to an Automated Attendant. 3. If the Automated Attendant is used to assist the attendant, the manager must also configure opening and closing times with the Entity object in the main management menu tree structure. For more information on the entity's mechanism and its configuration, refer to the system documentation Call distribution Call Routing Description on Call distribution. 5.3 Configuring the AA 5.3.1 Creating a mailbox The mailbox, whether AA Entry or AA Menu, is declared in the specific 4645 voice mail parameters.
