Optional Programming
The next few sections cover transferring callers directly to voice mail, leaving a message
directly as one user for another, and Auto Dialing.
Transferring Callers to Other User’s Voice Mail
The Voice Mailbox Transfer feature (F14) lets a system telephone user transfer a caller
directly to a specific extension’s voice mailbox so the caller can leave a message without
first ringing that extension. This is useful when the user knows that the coworker is away
from the telephone.
You can program a Voice Mailbox Transfer button on a system telephone to transfer a
caller directly to a voice mailbox by pressing the button then dialing the mailbox
subscriber’s extension number.
While a call is being transferred, the caller hears ringing if Ring on Transfer (#119) is
active. If it is not active and the Music On Hold (#602) is active and an audio source is
connected to the system, the caller hears music-on-hold. If neither Ring on Transfer nor
Music On Hold is active, the caller hears silence.
To program a direct transfer to voice mail:
1. Press .
2. Enter the number of the extension to be programmed with this feature.
3. Press a programmable button.
4. Press .
5. Select another procedure or exit programming mode.
To use this feature:
1. From a system telephone, press the programmed button or press .
2. Dial the two-digit extension number (or press an Auto Dial button) of the mailbox
subscriber for whom the caller wants to leave a message.
The caller is routed to the mailbox and hears the recorded greeting for that mailbox.
3. Hang up.
Transferring Callers to Your Voice Mail
The MS Cover feature (F15) lets system telephone users press programmed buttons to turn
VMS cover on and off, routing unanswered intercom and transferred calls for their
extensions to the voice messaging system after the specified number of rings.
You might use this if Amanda were being used as a backup attendant or voice messaging
center.
