Integrated Messaging System (IMS) Link provides the support required for
third-party messaging systems to interface with the Meridian 1. The calling
party can leave voice messages to be retrieved by the called party at any time.
Users calling from inside or outside the Meridian 1 system can leave and
retrieve messages. The messaging system answers the call, delivers a
personal greeting (recorded in the user’s voice), digitizes the message, stores
the message, and notifies the called party of a waiting message. The called
party can retrieve and manipulate these messages from any Digitone
telephone in the world. The user can issue a variety of commands to save or
transfer messages, reply to messages, or broadcast group messages to
multiple users.
To retrieve messages, each user must enter an ID code and a password. If the
user calls the messaging system from his or her own Directory Number (DN),
the ID code need not be entered. Any telephone with Dual Tone
Multifrequency (DTMF) or Meridian 1 proprietary telephone signaling can
connect to the attendant or to some other predefined DN by pressing 0.
Callers with analog (500/2500 type) telephones must wait for a time-out
before connecting automatically to the attendant.
The maximum length of a message will vary, depending on the messaging
system equipped. User profiles are established to limit the number of
messages each user is entitled to store.
Operating parameters
Users within the Meridian 1 system must have either Dual Tone
Multifrequency (DTMF), or Meridian 1 proprietary telephone signaling
capabilities. Users outside the Meridian 1 must have DTMF signaling.
