Description
An Announcement Mailbox plays a pre-recorded announcement to Automated Attendant callers without
providing dialing options. The Announcement Mailbox is typically set up to provide information to callers
(such as company directions) and then route back to the Automated Attendant. For example:
■ The Automated Attendant instructs the caller to dial a digit (e.g., 1) for company directions.
- Record this in the Instruction Menu message for the active Call Routing Mailbox. See Instruction
Menu on page 54 for more.
- Set the dialing options in the Dial Action Table associated with the active Call Routing Mailbox.
See Dial Action Table on page 34 for more.
■ The caller dials the digit and listens to the prerecorded Announcement Mailbox message for directions.
■ After playing the directions, the caller routes back to the Automated Attendant for additional dialing
options.
- See the Hang Up and Next Call Routing Mailbox options in Programming below.
By default, there are 8 Announcement Mailboxes (Routing Mailboxes 9-16). However, you can assign any of
the 16 Routing Mailboxes as an Announcement Mailbox.

Answer Tables
Answer Tables

Description
The Answer Table determines how the Automated Attendant answers outside calls on each trunk, according
to the time of the day and day of the week that the call is ringing. IntraMail provides 8 Answer Tables. The
Answer Table is an integral part of the Automated Attendant. The Automated Attendant can automatically
answer the telephone system’s incoming calls, play an Instruction Menu message, and provide dialing
options to callers.There are 3 major Automated Attendant components:
■ Answer Tables
The Answer Table determines how the Automated Attendant answers outside calls on each trunk, according to the time of the day and day of the week that the call is ringing. The Answer Table divides the time
of day and day of the week into individual schedules, which in turn assign a Call Routing Mailbox to
each call. When a specific schedule is not in effect, the Answer Table uses its Default Mailbox to determine routing.
✔By default, all trunks use Answer Table 1. Answer Table 1 has a single schedule that runs Monday
through Friday from 8:30AM to 5:00PM.
■ Call Routing Mailbox (page 28)
A Call Routing Mailbox is a mailbox associated with an individual Answer Table schedule or the Default
Mailbox. It specifies which dialing options (Dial Action Table) are available to callers. It also provides
the Instruction Menu to callers which typically greets the callers and describes the dialing options.
✔By default, Answer Table 1 has a single schedule that runs Monday through Friday from 8:30AM to
5:00PM. This schedule and the Default Mailbox both use Call Routing Mailbox 1.
■ Dial Action Table (page 34)
Once the Automated Attendant answers, the Dial Action Table provides the dialing options to callers.
Each digit a caller can dial is assigned a specific action (function) in the Dial Action Table. The dial
action used depends on the setting in the active Call Routing Mailbox, which in turn depends on the
Answer Table setup.
✔By default, Call Routing Mailbox 1 uses Dial Action Table 1.

Answer Tables
The Default Mailbox and Routing Hierarchy
The Default Mailbox provides routing for an Answer Table during periods when a schedule is not in effect.
By default, for example, Answer Table 1 Schedule 1 is active Monday through Friday from 8:30 AM to 5:00
PM. The Default Mailbox for Answer Table 1 is active during all other times (i.e., evenings and weekends).
Since Schedule 1 and the Default Mailbox both use Call Routing Mailbox 1, initially the routing is the same
24 hours a day, 7 days a week. See Customizing an Answer Table below for more.
When setting up your Answer Tables, keep in mind that a more specific type of routing has priority over a
less specific type of routing. When selecting which routing to follow when there is more than one choice for
a specific time, IntraMail will choose in the following order:
■ Date Schedule
■ Day of Week Schedule
■ Range of Days Schedule
■ Default Mailbox
For example, a Date Schedule set up for Christmas day will have priority over any other schedules in effect
on December 25.

Customizing an Answer Table
Use the following examples as a guide when customizing your Answer Tables to meet specific site requirements.
Refer to Programming below for the specifics.
To set up daytime and evening/weekend answering (2 schedules):
In this example, use the Default Mailbox (Call Routing Mailbox 1) for evening/weekend answering and
specify a new Call Routing Mailbox for daytime answering.
1. Change the Call Routing Mailbox for Answer Table 1, Schedule 1.
■ In 47-12: IntraMail Answer Schedules, assign Call Routing Mailbox 2 to Answer Table 1, Schedule 1.
You will use this for daytime answering.
2. From a System Administrator’s Mailbox, record an evening/weekend Instruction Menu message for Call
Routing mailbox 1.
■ This message will play to callers Monday through Friday from 5:00 PM to 8:30 AM and on weekends.
3. From a System Administrator’s Mailbox, record a daytime Instruction Menu message for Call Routing
Mailbox 2.
■ This message will play to callers Monday through Friday from 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM.
To set up daytime, evening, and weekend answering (3 schedules):
This example builds on the example above, but adds a third schedule that will play just on weekday evenings.
1. Change the Call Routing Mailbox for Answer Table 1, Schedule 1.
■ In 47-12: IntraMail Answer Schedules, assign Call Routing Mailbox 2 to Answer Table 1, Schedule 1.
As in the 2 schedule example, you will use this for daytime answering.
2. Create a new schedule that will run only in the evenings.
■ In 47-12: IntraMail Answer Schedules, create Schedule 2 for Answer Table 1 that will run Monday
through Friday from 5:00 PM to 11:00 PM. Assign Call Routing Mailbox 3 to this new schedule.
3. From a System Administrator’s Mailbox, record a late night/weekend Instruction Menu Message for Call
Routing mailbox 1.
■ This message will play Monday through Friday from 11:00 PM to 8:30 AM, as well as on weekends.
4. From a System Administrator’s mailbox, record the weekday Instruction Menu Message for Call Routing Mailbox 2.
■ This message will play Monday through Friday from 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM.
5. From a System Administrator’s Mailbox, record the weekday evening Instruction Menu Message for
Call Routing Mailbox 3.
■ This message will play Monday through Friday from 5:00 PM to 1:00 PM

Auto Attendant Do Not Disturb
Auto Attendant Do Not Disturb

Description
When a subscriber enables Auto Attendant Do Not Disturb, Automated Attendant calls to their extension go
directly to their mailbox. Their phone will not ring for calls from the Automated Attendant. You can optionally enable Auto Attendant Do Not Disturb from system programming. A subscriber typically turns on Auto
Attendant Do Not Disturb when they need to work uninterrupted at their desk by outside callers sent from
the Automated Attendant.
Keep in mind that Auto Attendant Do Not Disturb will not block Intercom calls from co-workers or any other
type of outside call not routed through the Automated Attendant. For example, with Automated Attendant Do
Not Disturb enabled, Direct Inwards Lines and transferred outside calls to an extension work normally.

Auto Erase or Save
Auto Erase or Save

Description
When a mailbox user completely listens to a new message and then exits their mailbox, IntraMail will either
automatically save or erase the message. The setting of this option depends on how the subscriber would prefer their mailbox to operate. When set to erase, the subscriber can review their messages and retain only those
they specifically save using the SA option. This is a good choice for a subscriber that receives frequent unessential messages. When set to save, the subscriber has the assurance of knowing that every message they listened to was saved in their mailbox. This is a good choice for those that must carefully review and consider
each new message.
Notes:
■ If a subscriber’s mailbox is set to Auto Save messages, IntraMail saves partially listened-to messages
but does not relamp the keyset for those messages. For example:
- A subscriber with new messages calls their mailbox.
- The subscriber presses L to listen to a portion of each message and then exits their mailbox.
- IntraMail saves all the messages and turns off the message waiting lamp.
■ If you hang up while listening to a new message, IntraMail automatically retains the message as a
new message.

Automated Attendant
Automated Attendant

Description
The Automated Attendant answers outside calls on each trunk, according to the time of the day and day of
the week that the call is ringing. The Answer Table is an integral part of the Automated Attendant. The Automated Attendant can automatically answer the telephone system’s incoming calls, play an Instruction Menu
message, and provide dialing options to callers. There are 3 major Automated Attendant components:
■ Answer Tables (page 15)
The Answer Table determines how the Automated Attendant answers outside calls on each trunk, according to the time of the day and day of the week that the call is ringing. The Answer Table divides the time
of day and day of the week into individual schedules, which in turn assign a Call Routing Mailbox to
each call. When a specific schedule is not in effect, the Answer Table uses its Default Mailbox to determine routing.
✔By default, all trunks use Answer Table 1. Answer Table 1 has a single schedule that runs Monday
through Friday from 8:30AM to 5:00PM.
■ Call Routing Mailbox (page 28)
A Call Routing Mailbox is a mailbox associated with an individual Answer Table schedule or the Default
Mailbox. It specifies which dialing options (Dial Action Table) are available to callers. It also provides
the Instruction Menu to callers which typically greets the callers and describes the dialing options.
✔By default, Answer Table 1 has a single schedule that runs Monday through Friday from 8:30AM to
5:00PM. This schedule and the Default Mailbox both use Call Routing Mailbox 1.
■ Dial Action Table (page 34)
Once the Automated Attendant answers, the Dial Action Table provides the dialing options to callers.
Each digit a caller can dial is assigned a specific action (function) in the Dial Action Table. The dial
action used depends on the setting in the active Call Routing Mailbox, which in turn depends on the
Answer Table setup.
✔By default, Call Routing Mailbox 1 uses Dial Action Table 1.

Description
Conversation Record allows a subscriber to record their active call as a new message in their mailbox, which
they can review later on. Conversation Record can be helpful when an extension user is on a call that
involves a lot of detail (such as a technical discussion or extensive directions). Rather than taking notes as
the call progresses, the user can record the conversation and carefully review it later on. IntraMail broadcasts
a beep and a voice prompt to the callers as Conversation Record begins. After calling their mailbox, the subscriber can save, edit, or delete the recorded conversation.
Caution

The use of monitoring, recording, or listening devices to eavesdrop, monitor, retrieve, or record
telephone conversations or other sound activities, whether or not contemporaneous with transmission, may be illegal in certain circumstances under federal or state laws. Legal advice should
be sought prior to implementing any practice that monitors or records any telephone conversation. Some federal and state laws require some form of notification to all parties to a telephone
conversation, such as using a beep tone or other notification methods or requiring the consent of
all parties to the telephone conversation, prior to monitoring or recording the telephone conversation. Some of these laws incorporate strict penalties.

Operation
Conversation Record
[Super Display Soft Key] - [Keyset Soft Key]

To record your active call in your mailbox:
■ Only one party on a call can use Conversation

Directory Dialing
Directory Dialing

Description
Directory Dialing allows an Automated Attendant caller to reach an extension by dialing the first few letters
in the extension user’s name. With Directory Dialing, the caller does not have to remember the extension
number of the person they wish to reach — just their name. Here’s how Directory Dialing works:
1. When the Automated Attendant answers, it sends the call to a Directory Dialing Mailbox. (Optionally,
the caller may be asked to dial a digit to access Directory Dialing.)
2. The Directory Dialing Mailbox plays the Directory Dialing Message (recorded by the System Administrator) which asks the caller to dial letters for the name of the person they wish to reach.
3. The caller dials the letters for the person’s name plus #. They can dial by first name or last name, depending on how the Directory Dialing Message was recorded and the Directory Dialing Mailbox was set up.
4. IntraMail searches the list of programmed extension names for a match of the caller-entered letters.
5. Voice prompts announce the first three matches, and allow the caller to dial a digit (1-3) to reach one of
the announced matches. Additionally, the caller can dial 4 to hear additional matches (if any).
6. The caller dials the digit for the extension they wish to reach, and IntraMail sends the call to that exten-

sion. The call is sent as a Screened or Unscreened transfer, depending on programming.
For callers to use Directory Dialing, the system must have a name programmed for each extension (up to 12
characters, A-Z, using upper and lower case letters). Each extension should also have a name recorded in
their Subscriber Mailbox. In addition, each extension used by Directory Dialing must be installed and must
have their Subscriber Mailbox active.
The Directory Dialing Mailbox can be a Routing Mailbox assigned as a Directory Dialing Mailbox or a
Master Mailbox assigned as a Directory Dialing Mailbox.

Using Directory Dialing
To use Directory Dialing:
1.

After the Automated Attendant answers, wait for the Directory Dialing Message.
■ The Automated Attendant may ask you to dial a digit for Directory Dialing.

2.

Dial the letters that correspond to the name of the person you wish to reach + #.
■ The Directory Dialing Message will tell you how many letters you need to dial, and whether you
should enter the person’s first name or last name.
■ To exit Directory Dialing without selecting a name, just dial #.

3.

The Automated Attendant will announce the name matches, and tell you which digit to dial (1-3) to
reach each of the announced names.
■ To hear additional name matches (if any), dial 4 instead.

4.

Once you make your selection, the Automated Attendant will route your call to the name you select.

External Transfer
External Transfer

Description
External Transfer allows an Automated Attendant caller to automatically route to an outside telephone
number. To set this up, assign a Dial Action Table action as a UTRF to a Common Abbreviated Dialing bin
(e.g., #2000 + Pause for common bin 000). When the Automated Attendant answers, the caller dials the digit
and IntraMail automatically routes them to the outside number contained in the bin. External Transfer allows
your callers to easily reach branch offices and important off-site associates.

Fax Detection
Fax Detection

Description
The Automated Attendant can detect incoming fax calls and transfer them to a fax machine. With Fax Detection enabled, after the Automated Attendant answers a call it listens for incoming fax CNG tone. If it detects
the tone, it does an unscreened transfer of the call to the specified company fax machine. The incoming fax
then prints out on the company fax machine. If you disable Fax Detection, the Automated Attendant will not
detect and route incoming fax calls.

Flexible Answering Schedules
Flexible Answering Schedules

Description
The Automated Attendant can answer outside calls with different announcements and dialing options,
depending on the time of day and day of week. For example, a company can set up separate schedules for
weekdays, evenings, weekends, and specific holidays. Each schedule can play a different announcement to
callers, as well as provide them with unique dialing options. Once set up in programming, the schedule operation is automatic.
The Flexible Answering Schedules are determined by the set up of the IntraMail Answer Tables. See Answer
Tables on page 15 for more.

Flexible Call Routing
Flexible Call Routing

Description
The Automated Attendant can provide outside callers with a wide variety of dialing (routing) options. You
can customize the announcements and routing options to exactly meet the site requirements. Use Flexible
Call Routing to eliminate or minimize the need for an operator or receptionist to handle outside calls.
There are 3 components to Flexible Call Routing.
■ Answer Tables (page 15)
Determines how the Automated Attendant answers outside calls on each trunk, according to the time of
the day and day of the week that the call is ringing.
■ Call Routing Mailbox (page 28)
The mailbox associated with an Answer Table that specifies which dialing options (Dial Action Table)
and announcement are available to Automated Attendant callers.
■ Dial Action Table (page 34)

Flexible Mailbox Numbering Plan

Description
Flexible Mailbox Numbering Plan lets you customize a site’s extension numbers and be assured that IntraMail will adapt to the new configuration. When you change a port’s extension number, you can change the
number of the mailbox assigned to that port to match. There is no need to reprogram — all of the options
remain intact.

Forced Unscreened Transfer

Description
A Subscriber Mailbox can optionally convert Automated Attendant Screened Transfers to Unscreened
Transfers. Enable this option for a mailbox if the subscriber prefers to receive all calls sent by the Automated
Attendant as Unscreened Transfers. With Unscreened Transfers,
■ Calls from the Automated Attendant ring like other transferred calls and display the incoming Caller ID
data (if provided by telco and enabled in programming) as the call is ringing.
■ As with Screened Transfers, unanswered calls route to the subscriber’s greeting (recorded or default) so
the caller can leave a message. However, with Unscreened Transfer the caller cannot dial 2 to reach the
Next Call Routing Mailbox options (if programmed).

Go To A Mailbox
Go To A Mailbox

Description
An Automated Attendant caller can dial a digit to route to a Call Routing or Announcement Mailbox. This is
called the Go To (GOTO) action. The GOTO action can route directly to a specific Call Routing or
Announcement Mailbox, or allow the Automated Attendant caller to go to a mailbox of their own choosing.
Use the GOTO action to set up a “tree” of Automated Attendant options.
The block diagram below shows how the Automated Attendant can provide the caller with a “tree” of dialing
options. Dialing 1 (GOTO 9) routes to Announcement Mailbox 9, which plays the company directions. Dialing 2 (GOTO 2) routes to Call Routing Mailbox 2, which is set up to give the caller single-digit dialing to
Tech Service technicians.
■ The Announcement Message for Announcement Mailbox 9 tells the caller how to locate the company.
■ The Instruction Menu for Call Routing Mailbox 2 instructs the caller which digits to dial for each technician. The Dial Action Table for Call Routing Mailbox 2 contains the TRF or UTRF actions to each technician’s extension.

Greeting
Greeting

Description
A Subscriber Mailbox user can record a personalized greeting for their mailbox. Caller’s to the user’s mailbox hear the prerecorded personalized greeting rather than a default message. The greeting can announce the
subscriber’s name, provide a personal message (such as “Hello - I am on vacation this week”), or instruct the
caller how to leave a message or use other mailbox options. A greeting that provides mailbox instructions is
very helpful if the mailbox has a Next Call Routing Mailbox set up that provides additional dialing options.
Without the greeting, the caller would not know which digits to dial.
While listening to a mailbox greeting, a caller can dial * to immediately leave a message.

Remote Greetings
A Subscriber Mailbox user can call into the Automated Attendant, access their mailbox, and remotely record
their mailbox greeting. Following are two of the ways a user can do this:
■ After the Automated Attendant answers, dial a digit (typically #) followed by their mailbox number. This
method allows outside callers to log into their Subscriber Mailboxes from outside the company. Once
they log into their mailbox, the user can dial G to record a greeting.
■ If an extension has a Direct Inward Line that is forwarded to voice mail, the caller can dial # and log into
their mailbox (instead of leaving a message). Once they log into their mailbox, the user can dial G to
record a greeting. This option must be set up in the Next Call Routing Mailbox. To allow this capability,
for example:
- Program the Next Call Routing Mailbox # digit as LOGON to IXXX.
- While listening to their greeting, the subscriber can dial:
# (to route to their Next Call Routing Mailbox), then
# and their mailbox number to log onto their mailbox.
- By default, this option is provided in Call Routing Mailbox 1. Additionally, the subscriber should
enable a Security Code for their mailbox to prevent unauthorized logons.

Multiple Greetings
In systems with Multiple Greetings, the mailbox subscriber can record up to three separate greetings and
make any one of the three active. When a caller leaves a message in the subscriber’s mailbox, they hear the
active greeting. This allows the subscriber, for example, to record separate greetings for work hours, after
work, and during vacation. Instead of rerecording their greeting when they leave the office, they can just
activate the “after work” greeting instead.
If the active greeting has not been recorded, a caller leaving a message in the subscriber mailbox will hear,
“At the tone, you can leave your message for (extension number or name).”

Log Onto Voice Mail
Log Onto Voice Mail

Description
A subscriber can log onto their mailbox using a method that best suits their needs and location. While at
their own phone, the subscriber just presses a single key to log onto their mailbox. To use their mailbox
while at a co-worker’s phone, the subscriber dials the IntraMail master number, followed by their mailbox
number (which is normally the same as their extension number). If they are away from the office, the subscriber can still use their mailbox by calling in through the Automated Attendant.

Local (On-site) Logon
An extension user can log onto their mailbox in the following ways:
■ Press their MSG key to log onto their Subscriber Mailbox.
■ Dial the IntraMail master number (e.g., 700), followed by their mailbox number. This method is typically
used by Guest Mailbox users, as well as subscribers attempting to log into their Subscriber Mailbox from
a co-worker’s phone.

Remote Log On
A Subscriber Mailbox user can call into the Automated Attendant and log onto their mailbox. Following are
two of the ways a user can do this:
■ After the Automated Attendant answers, dial a digit (typically #) followed by their mailbox number. This
method allows outside callers to log into their mailboxes from outside the company. Once they log into
their mailbox, they can use the allowed features in the mailbox main menu. To avoid unauthorized
access to their mailbox, the user should enable their own unique Security Code.
■ If an extension has a Direct Inward Line that voice mail picks up, the caller can dial # during their greeting to log into their mailbox (instead of leaving a message). This method allows subscribers to dial their
own number and then use the features of their mailbox. This capability must be set up in the user’s Next
Call Routing Mailbox. For example:
- Program the Next Call Routing Mailbox # digit as LOGON to IXXX.
- While listening to their greeting, the subscriber can dial:
# (to route to their Next Call Routing Mailbox), then
# and their mailbox number to log onto their mailbox.
By default, this option is provided in Call Routing Mailbox 1. Additionally, the subscriber should enable
a Security Code for their mailbox to prevent unauthorized logons.

Operation
Logging Onto Your Mailbox
To log onto your Subscriber Mailbox:
1. Press MSG.
■

From an on-premise single line telephone, lift handset and dial *8.

To log onto your Guest Mailbox or your Subscriber Mailbox from a co-worker’s extension:
1. Press an idle CALL key + Dial the IntraMail master number (e.g., 700) + Dial your mailbox number.
To log onto your Subscriber Mailbox from the Automated Attendant:
1. Wait for the Automated Attendant to answer.
2. Dial # and your mailbox number.
■
■

This option may be different in your system. Check with your Communications Manager.

Make Call
Make Call

Description
Make Call lets a Subscriber Mailbox user listen to a voice message and dial MC to return the call without
knowing their caller’s phone number. Make Call automates returning messages since you don’t have to dial
the message sender’s telephone number. Make Call is always available for messages received from co-workers. Make call is available for messages received from outside callers if the system has Caller ID enabled
(and provided by the connected telco).
While listening to a message, the telephone display shows the callers number (or extension) in addition to
the date and time the message was left.

Automatic Route Selection
Since trunk Caller ID data is always received as 10 digits, you must set up Automatic Route Selection (ARS)
to properly process the digits dialed during a Make Call callout. For example, it may be necessary to add a
leading 1 for all long distance calls or strip the leading 1 and area code from all local calls. Refer to Automatic Route Selection in the Aspire Software Manual (P/N 0893200) for more. Without ARS, all Make Call
callouts are dialed exactly as the Caller ID data is received.

up. You go right back to the listen mode for the message you were listening to when
you tried the Make Call.

Master Mailbox
Master Mailbox

Description
IntraMail uses Master Mailboxes as the overflow destination for Department Calling Group overflow. If a
trunk call to the Department Group master (pilot) number is unanswered, the call can optionally route to the
Master Mailbox. There are 16 available Master Mailboxes. Each Master Mailbox can be one of four mailbox
types: Call Routing, Announcement, Subscriber, and Directory Dialing.
■ Call Routing Mailbox
This gives the Department Group caller additional dialing options if their call is unanswered.
■ Announcement Mailbox
This plays a prerecorded announcement to the Department Group caller if their call is unanswered.
The Announcement Mailbox can then hang up or provide additional dialing options.
■ Subscriber Mailbox
The Department Group caller can leave a message in the group’s master mailbox. A Member of the
group can then retrieve the message later on.
■ Directory Dialing
If the Department Group call is unanswered, Directory Dialing allows the caller to reach an extension
by dialing the first few letters in the extension user’s name.
Master Mailboxes can be the Department Group overflow destination for the following types of calls:
■ A Screened Transfer from the IntraMail Automated Attendant to the Department Group master (pilot)
number.
■ An Unscreened Transfer from the IntraMail Automated Attendant to the Department Group master
(pilot) number.
■ A Direct Inward Line to the Department Group master (pilot) number.
Automated Attendant Callers can also access a Master Mailbox. When the mailbox is set up as a Subscriber
Mailbox, an Automated Attendant caller can do a remote logon or leave a Quick Message in the Master
Mailbox. If the Master Mailbox is a Call Routing, Announcement, or Directory Dialing Mailbox, you can set
up a GOTO action in the active Dial Action Table to enable single-digit access to the Master Mailbox.

Using a Master Mailbox as an Additional Resource
You can also use a Master Mailbox as an additional resource (for example, as an extra Directory Dialing or
Call Routing Mailbox). When used this way, the Master Mailbox does not have to be assigned to a Department Calling Group.

Operation
Refer to the following:
■ Announcement Mailbox (page 11).
■ Call Routing Mailbox (page 28).
■ Directory Dialing (page 36).

For Super Display telephones, this same message shows on lines 7 and 8.

Enhanced Message Key Operation
When a keyset has 15-02-26: Multi-Line Telephone Basic Setup: MSG Key Operation Mode set to 1, the MSG
key provides one-button access to IntraMail. When the user presses MSG, they immediately call their mailbox.
When a keyset has 15-02-26: Multi-Line Telephone Basic Setup: MSG Key Operation Mode set to 0, the following occurs:
■ If a user has new voice mail messages waiting, pressing MSG shows the number of waiting voice mail
messages. Pressing MSG a second time calls voice mail.
■ If a user has new Message Waiting indications left, pressing MSG shows the extension that left the Message Waiting. Pressing MSG a second time places an Intercom call to the co-worker that left the Message
Waiting.
■ If a user has both new Voice Mail messages and Messages Waiting:
- Pressing MSG shows the number of new voice mail messages.
- Pressing Vol Up and Vol Down scrolls between the voice mail messages count and the Message
Waiting count.

Message Forward

Description
A Subscriber Mailbox user can forward a message in their mailbox to a co-worker. Forwarding is helpful
when a subscriber receives a message with which a co-worker can assist them. Rather than sending a new
message, the subscriber can just forward the message with which they need help. They can also optionally
record a comment before the forwarded message. Typically, the comment would describe the reason for the
message forwarding.
IntraMail erases the message in the subscriber’s mailbox after they forward it. The Message Forward destination receives the forwarded message as a new message.

Message Length

Description
You can set the maximum length of a message that can be left in a Subscriber Mailbox. When a caller tries to
leave a message that exceeds the limit, they hear, “You have reached the recording limit.” IntraMail sends the
portion of the message that fits within the allowed Message Length and hangs up. The Message Length
option helps you maximize the storage space reserved for messages. If you find that callers are leaving
unusually long messages, shorten the Message Length. IntraMail will cut off the message once the caller
reaches the Message Length limit. On the other hand, if you hear that IntraMail is cutting off caller’s messages prematurely, increase the Message Length to give callers more time.

the subscriber customize their mailbox to initially play just the list of messages to which they want to listen.
For example, if a subscriber has many saved messages and just a few new messages, then can log onto their
mailbox and dial 1N to select the new message list. When they press L, they will then cycle through just their
new message.
Initially, a Subscriber Mailbox uses the All Message List. If they select a different message list, IntraMail
reinstates the all Message List the next time they log onto their mailbox.

Message Notification
Message Notification

Description
Once activated by the Subscriber Mailbox user, Message Notification dials a telephone number to let the
user know when there are new messages in their mailbox. With Message Notification, a subscriber who is
out of the office does not have keep calling their mailbox remotely to find out if they have new messages.
IntraMail will let them know automatically. Notification can call extensions, local numbers, long distance
numbers and digital pagers. When a Subscriber Mailbox user sets up Message Notification, they choose
from the following options:
■ If Message Notification is enabled or disabled.
(Message Notification can only occur if it is enabled.)
■ The time of day Message Notification should begin and end.
(Callouts will only occur between the begin and end times.)
■ The type of device to which Message Notification will be calling.
(Message Notification can call a normal telephone number or a digital pager.)
■ The telephone or pager service phone number.
Note: To protect your mailbox from unauthorized access, be sure to record a security code for your mailbox
before enabling Message Notification.

How Message Notification Works to Normal Telephone Numbers
1. The subscriber activates Message Notification for their mailbox (see Operation below).
2. When the subscriber receives a new message, IntraMail immediately dials the destination that should

3.

4.
5.
6.

receive the Message Notification.
- IntraMail waits up to 30 seconds for ringback, reorder, busy or voice activity from the called number. If nothing is detected, the callout is considered unanswered.
If the recipient answers, IntraMail plays the notification message (“Hello, I have a message for”) and
asks the recipient to dial 1 to log onto their mailbox. The recipient hears the notification message if:
■ They say “Hello” after answering the callout, or
■ The system receives answer supervision from the telco after the recipient answers the call.
(Note that the recipient can skip the announcement by dialing 1 to log onto their mailbox after answering the callout – without saying “Hello”.)
■ The notification is to a system extension.
Once the recipient logs onto the mailbox, the notification is considered acknowledged and will not reoccur until the subscriber receives new messages.
If the recipient doesn’t answer, the system will retry the callout number. After completing the programmed number of callout attempts, Message Notification will stop.
Once the notification process begins, a new message does not restart the process if it is already in
progress. Once the process ends (e.g., if the message is acknowledged or the maximum number of callout attempts is reached), the next new message will restart the process.

How Message Notification Works to Digital Pager Numbers
1. The subscriber activates Message Notification for their mailbox (see Operation below).
2. When subscriber receives a new message, IntraMail immediately dials the pager service.

- IntraMail waits up to 30 seconds for ringback, reorder, busy or voice activity from the called number. If nothing is detected, the callout is considered unanswered.
3. After the pager service answers, IntraMail sends a dial string which causes the pager display to show the
subscriber’s mailbox number as well as the number of new messages in the mailbox.
■ The notification is considered acknowledged if the recipient logs onto the mailbox. Notification will
not reoccur until the subscriber receives new messages.
■ If the pager service doesn’t answer, IntraMail will retry the callout number. Message Notification may
eventually cancel if the callout remains unacknowledged.

subscriber prefers to hear their new messages first, enable LIFO (last-in-first-out) listening order. The newest
(last-in) messages are at the top of the message list and the oldest messages are at the bottom of the list. If the
subscriber wants to be reminded of their oldest messages first, enable FIFO (first-in-first-out) listening order.

Multiple Company Greetings

Description
The Automated Attendant can answer each individual trunk (outside line) with a unique greeting and unique

and can dial options that may be only available to that specific company. You set this up as follows:
■ Assign a unique Answer Table (1-8) to each trunk that you want to have an individual greeting.
■ For each Answer Table, assign the Call Routing Mailbox that will handle the call.
■ For each of the assigned Call Routing Mailboxes, set up the dialing options (Dial Action Table) and

Next Call Routing Mailbox

Description
The Next Call Routing Mailbox provides callers with additional dialing options while listening to a Subscriber
Mailbox recorded or default greeting. It also provides additional dialing options to callers routed to an
Announcement Mailbox. Next Call Routing Mailbox lets the caller choose how IntraMail should handle their
call. For example, if an Automated Attendant caller dials a subscriber’s extension and hears the greeting, Next
Call Routing Mailbox (if programmed) allows them to dial other options instead of hanging up.

Logging Onto a Subscriber Mailbox while Listening to the Greeting
A subscriber who wishes to log onto their mailbox while listening to their greeting must have the option set
in their Next Call Routing Mailbox. To allow this capability, for example:
■ Program the Next Call Routing Mailbox # digit as LOGON to IXXX.
■ While listening to their greeting, the subscriber can dial:
# (to route to their Next Call Routing Mailbox), then
# and their mailbox number to log onto their mailbox.
By default, this option is provided in Call Routing Mailbox 1. Additionally, the subscriber should enable a
Security Code for their mailbox to prevent unauthorized logons.

Quick Message
Quick Message

Description
Quick Message is a Dial Action Table action that allows Automated Attendant callers to dial a digit (normally
*) followed by a mailbox number to leave a message in a Subscriber Mailbox. Since Quick Message is
enabled by default, it is an efficient way for experienced Automated Attendant callers to leave messages.
There is no need to dial an extension first. To make this option more readily available to all Automated Attendant callers, consider having the active Instruction Menu describe how to use the Quick Message option.
There are two Quick Message Dial Action Table actions:
■ Quick Message with Greeting (REC1)
The caller hears the mailbox greeting followed by a beep and can leave message. If the greeting is not
recorded, the caller hears, “At the tone, you can leave your message for extension xxx (or name if
recorded). Start recording at the tone. When you are done, press the # key or hang up.”
■ Quick Message without Greeting (REC2)
The caller bypasses the mailbox greeting (hearing “Recording” and a beep instead) and can leave a message. This is typically used with a Next Call Routing Mailbox when the caller is asked to dial a digit
(e.g., 1) to leave a message. Otherwise, the mailbox greeting (if recorded) would be heard again.

Operation
Leaving a Quick Message
To leave a Quick Message after the Automated Attendant answers:
1. Dial *.
2. Dial the Subscriber Mailbox number.
3. Leave message and hang up.

OR
Leave message and dial #.
■ Dialing # may provide you with additional dialing options. This depends on how the called mailbox’s Next
Call Routing Mailbox is set up.

Screened Transfer
Screened Transfer

Description
Screened Transfer is an Automated Attendant option that allows callers to directly dial system extensions.
Screened Transfer (and its related feature Unscreened Transfer) allows the IntraMail Automated Attendant to
transfer outside calls to system extensions without the need for a live receptionist or operator. It is similar to
telephone system screened transfers in which the transferring party controls the transfer. After an Automated
Attendant caller dials an extension, IntraMail calls (screens) the destination extension to see if the transfer
can go through.
■ If the destination is busy (both line appearances) or in DND, the Automated Attendant doesn’t extend the
call and immediately provides the caller with additional options.
■ If the destination is available, the Automated Attendant rings it. If the destination answers, the call goes
through. If the destination doesn’t answer within a preset interval, the Automated Attendant doesn’t
extend the call and provides the caller with additional options.

Screened vs. Unscreened Transfer
Both Screened and Unscreened Transfer allow Automated Attendant callers to directly dial system extensions. The following summarizes the differences between these two types of Automated Attendant transfer.
■ With Unscreened Transfer, calls from the Automated Attendant ring like other transferred calls and display the incoming Caller ID data (if provided by telco and enabled in programming). Screened Transfers
ring like Intercom calls and do not display Caller ID until the call is answered.
■ Both Screened and Unscreened Transfers route unanswered calls to the subscriber’s greeting (recorded
or default) so the caller can leave a message. However, only Screened Transfer allows the caller to dial 2
to reach the Next Call Routing Mailbox options (if programmed).

Screened Transfer and Inactive Mailboxes
Screened Transfer to an extension can only occur if the destination extension has an active mailbox. If the
extension’s mailbox is inactive, the Automated Attendant caller hears, “That is an invalid entry,” and then
returns to the Automated Attendant.
The table on the next page shows in detail how Screened Transfer operates.

Transfer to a Mailbox

Description
An extension user can transfer their active call to a co-worker’s mailbox. This lets the caller leave a personal
message for the co-worker. Transfer to a Mailbox is one of the big conveniences of IntraMail since the caller
can state their business and not have to call back later. It saves the caller time and cuts down on unnecessary
telephone system call processing. Transfer to a Mailbox is frequently used by attendants and receptionists as
well as other co-workers.

Operation
Transferring your call to a Co-Worker’s Mailbox
To transfer your active call to a co-worker’s mailbox:
1. Press HOLD.
2. Dial your co-worker’s mailbox number (e.g., 301 for extension 301).
3. Press MSG.
4. Press SPK to hang up.
■
■

To optionally transfer a call to co-worker’s mailbox without first ringing their phone, press MSG before
dialing their mailbox number. (This is the only procedure you can use to transfer to a Guest Mailbox.)
To transfer a call to a co-worker’s mailbox from a single line telephone, use the following procedure:

Unscreened Transfer

Description
Unscreened Transfer is an Automated Attendant option that allows callers to directly dial system extensions. Unscreened Transfer (and its related feature Screened Transfer) allows the IntraMail Automated
Attendant to transfer outside calls to system extensions without the need for a live receptionist or operator.
It is similar to telephone system unscreened transfers in which the transferring party immediately extends
the call. After an Automated Attendant caller dials an extension, IntraMail transfers the call to the destination and hangs up. Any recalls or additional routing are handled by the telephone system – just as with any
other unscreened transfer.

Screened vs. Unscreened Transfer
Both Screened and Unscreened Transfer allow Automated Attendant callers to directly dial system extensions. The following summarizes the differences between these two types of Automated Attendant transfer.
■ With Unscreened Transfer, calls from the Automated Attendant ring like other transferred calls and display the incoming Caller ID data (if provided by telco and enabled in programming). Screened Transfers
ring like Intercom calls and do not display Caller ID until the call is answered.
■ Both Screened and Unscreened Transfers route unanswered calls to the subscriber’s greeting (recorded or
default) so the caller can leave a message. However, only Screened Transfer allows the caller to dial 2 to
reach the Next Call Routing Mailbox options (if programmed).

Unscreened Transfer and Inactive Mailboxes
An Unscreened Transfer will go through to the destination extension even if the destination doesn’t have an
active mailbox. If the Unscreened Transfer is unanswered at the destination, the call returns to the Automated Attendant.

Voice Mail Overflow

Description
The telephone system can automatically reroute unanswered outside calls to the IntraMail Automated Attendant. Voice Mail Overflow ensures that IntraMail will pick up calls that don’t go through. This allows callers
to leave a message rather than having to call back later. Voice Mail can be the overflow destination for the
following types of calls:
■ Direct Inward Line (DIL) Overflow
A trunk that directly rings an extension can overflow to that extension’s mailbox if not answered.
■ Incoming Ring Groups
A trunk ringing an extension’s line keys can overflow to the IntraMail Automated Attendant.
■ Department Calling Groups
A call to a Department Group master (pilot) number can overflow to IntraMail if unanswered. The overflow destination is the Master Mailbox assigned to the Department Group. The Master Mailbox can be a:
- Call Routing Mailbox
This gives the Department Group caller additional dialing options if their call is unanswered.
- Announcement Mailbox
This plays a prerecorded announcement to the Department Group caller if their call is unanswered.
The Announcement Mailbox can then hang up or provide additional dialing options.
- Subscriber Mailbox
The Department Group caller can leave a message in the groups master mailbox. A Member of the
group can then retrieve the message later on.
The call into the Department Group can be one of the following:
- A Direct Inward Line to the Department Group master (pilot) number.
- A Screened Transfer from the IntraMail Automated Attendant to the Department Group master
(pilot) number.
- An Unscreened Transfer from the IntraMail Automated Attendant to the Department Group master
