Record-A-Call
Page 201
The programmer can set a maximum length for Record-A-Call messages. The Record-A-Call
Maximum Message Length timer can be set at 0–600 minutes. A 0 setting allows messages of
any length, limited only by the available disk space. The default is 30 minutes. (This overrides
the mailbox’s maximum message length setting. However, if a Record-A-Call message
exceeds the maximum message length, the mailbox will be considered full until that Record-A-
Call message is deleted.)
As with any other conference call, any inside party involved in a Record-A-Call conference
can use the Hold, Transfer, Agent Help, or other features. However, if any inside party has
enhanced speakerphone enabled, the enhanced mode will be disabled when the conference
begins and must be re-enabled if wanted.
Record-A-Call is not supported on IP or SIP devices on P2P calls. For details, see “Peer-to-
Peer Audio for IP and SIP Endpoints” on page 85.
