BVM Storage Capacities
BVM messages are stored on the compact flash-type Inter-Tel memory card that also stores
system applications and the user database.
The amount of message storage, which is allocated for each user as a quota of the total storage
capacity, is programmable through DB Programming. A warning flag can be set for each mail-
box to alert the user when a specified percentage of the allocated quota has been reached.
Table 47 shows the amount of message storage available on the three sizes of Inter-Tel memory
card before additional sets of prompts are applied. It also shows the hard disk storage capacity
of BVM on PS-1 for the Inter-Tel CS-5600 platform.
When all of the IP resources available for BVM are busy, the next caller is camped-on to wait
for a resource to become available. Upgrading to an expanded, external voice mail system is
recommended when an unacceptable number of callers are being camped-on before they can
leave a voice message.
The BVM Forward to E-Mail feature requires significant memory for converting voice mail
messages to the image file format. Inter-Tel recommends installing a 512 MB memory card for
Inter-Tel CS-5200 and CS-5400 systems that utilize the feature.
In addition to the standard American English prompts, each set of language prompts loaded on
a system reduces the amount of storage available by approximately 1.25 hr (75 min). For the
most part, the reduction of memory capacity due to adding language prompts impacts Inter-Tel
CS-5200 and CS-5400 systems. The CS-5600 relies on hard disk storage rather than the system
memory card, which frees up memory for other system tasks. Inter-Tel CS-5x00 systems also
support British English, Spanish, and Japanese language prompts.
