Basic Voice Mail (BVM)
This section describes the measurable parameters of the Basic Voice Mail feature, including
voice mail storage limits, ports available for licensing on the Communication Servers, voice mail
recording process, and authentication supported.
Mitel CS-5200 and CS-5400 platforms support up to 16 licensed BVM ports. However, the ports
are now allocated dynamically up to the number of valid BVM licenses. As with previous
versions, ports are licensed four at a time and may not be licensed individually. Running on an
Mitel 5600 platform, BVM is hosted on the PS-1. BVM on the PS-1 can be configured with 0, 4,
8, 12, or 16 ports in accordance with feature licensing.
Table 4-8 shows the relationship between the number of valid BVM licenses and the maximum
number of active BVM ports in a system. DBP does not allow dynamic allocation of more BVM
ports than are licensed for the system and that have been manually programmed into the
appropriate Time Slot Group.
If all of the IP resources available for BVM are in use, the next caller is camped-on to wait for a
resource to become available. For additional information, refer to the Voice Processing chapter
in the Inter-Tel 5000 Features and Programming Guide, part no. 580.8006.
BVM Voice Mail Ports
Having 16 BVM ports available on the Mitel CS-5200 and CS-5400 platforms provides
increased availability and response time for voice processor applications. Under normal
business conditions, increased ports allow fast response to applications such as voice mail,
Message Notification/Retrieval, Automated Attendant, and Record-A-Call.
The Inter-Tel 5000 platform is equipped with four licensed BVM ports in its default configuration
without an external voice processing PC. Additional four-port licenses may be purchased. An
Mitel CS-5200 or CS-5400 system can be programmed with 0, 4, or 8 ports reserved for voice
mail. The CS-5600 system can be programmed for 0, 4, 8, 12, or 16 ports. The user can
reserve up to the maximum ports supported by the license installed. For programming
instructions, refer to the Inter-Tel 5000 Features and Programming Guide, part no. 580.8006.
The Mitel CS-5600 supports 16 BVM ports on the PS-1. When the PS-1 is installed, the eight-
port BVM feature is disabled. The CS-5600 initially provides four BVM ports and additional ports
can be licensed and added in four-port increments. For programming instructions, refer to the
Inter-Tel 5000 Features and Programming Guide, part no. 580.8006.
