TVM-2000 3.95.0001 Release Notes
The TVM-2000 3.95.0000 release enhances features and fixes problems found in earlier TVM-2000
releases.

Problems Solved
Build 3.95.0001
•

Record Greeting by Number – Bug fixed to allow single digit number to be entered here to
record greetings. Previously entering a single digit, such as 1, would cause the TVM to record
message 1.msg rather than 01.msg that it looks for when playing greetings. This prevented the
TVM from playing or recording the correct greeting.

•

Reports Screen – Report screen was updated for ease of use.

•

Added support for 8-port MiniTel-128 and 16-port TMP systems.

Overview of Features
Introduction to the TVM-2000
The TVM-2000 is a call processing system designed to improve employee productivity and enhance
customer service. The TVM-2000 platform is modular and scalable to accommodate the changing
needs of growing businesses. The base system handles full-featured voice mail, automated attendant,
Automatic Call Distribution (ACD), and audiotext functionality. Optional modules include fax mail
and fax on demand capabilities, a multilingual module created for international companies, and a
PMS/Hospitality module created for use by the Hotel/Motel industry. TVM-2000 Version 3.95 runs
on DOS 6.22.

Automated Attendant
The TVM-2000 integrates with most Private Branch eXchanges (PBXs) to provide a smooth and
simple messaging interface for callers. The TVM-2000 can be programmed to answer, route, and
screen calls, provide information, hold callers in queue, and even service multiple businesses at once.

Voice Mail
The TVM-2000 supports up to 1,000 voice mailboxes, each of which can be configured with a
variety of features, including (but not limited to); group mailboxes, flexible personal passwords,
multiple greeting messages, and live call recording capabilities. The TVM-2000 answers mailbox
extensions, plays personal greetings, and receives and delivers confidential messages at any time of
the day or night. Once a message is received in a mailbox, the system can turn on a message waiting
light, call the mailbox extension, make an announcement through an overhead page, or call an offsite telephone or beeper. These features assure users of timely receipt of messages regardless of their
location.
The TVM-2000 also provides mailbox owners and callers with multiple options for listening to and
leaving messages. Callers can mark outgoing messages as private or urgent. Mailbox owners can
forward, delete or append to messages all with simple commands. Mailbox owners also have the
ability to select the order in which they listen to messages, and they can fast forward, rewind, pause,
and control the playback volume of messages. Callers to the system also are able to leave messages
for one person or several people with the touch of a button. Experienced callers can override prompts
and greeting messages. If required, a live operator can be reached at any time.

Overview of Features

Fax Capabilities
The TVM-2000 base unit can be used to detect CNG tones and transfer calls to fax machines.

Fax Module
The optional Fax module allows the TVM-2000 to become a complete fax-processing platform. Each
mailbox owner can receive faxes through their existing voice mailbox or through a separate fax
mailbox. Fax mail can be sent to any fax machine at any time of the day. The Fax Module includes
both fax mail and fax on demand capabilities.

Fax Mail
Fax mail confidentially receives and stores incoming faxes. All messages are time and date stamped
and can be retrieved from any telephone, forwarded to another fax mailbox, appended to with a voice
message, or forwarded to on-site and remote fax machines.

Fax On Demand
TVM-2000’s fax-on-demand capability offers a self-service information library to users. Callers can
retrieve company or product information around the clock by listening to simple voice instructions
and selecting numbered documents. Packed with useful features such as support for multiple calls,
same-call or callback fax transmission, and automatic cover page, the TVM-2000 is a highly flexible
information delivery tool. The Fax Module also enhances business marketing and customer support
by providing detailed inquiry reports and recordings of caller information, such as name, phone
number and interests.
Fax on Demand features include:
•
Automatic cover pages
•
Unlimited menu levels
•
Definable number of documents allowed per call
•
Call back, or same call fax transmission
•
Local area code recognition
•
International dialing enabling or disabling

Hospitality/PMS Module
The Hospitality/PMS (Property Management System) Module was developed exclusively for the
Hotel/Motel industry. The simple interface allows front desk personnel to check in and check out
guest mailboxes. The auto-attendant can be programmed to answer calls for both guests and hotel
administrators, or for administrators only. The guest mailboxes can be password protected to secure

Installation Considerations
Use the following guidelines to choose a suitable location for your TVM-2000 unit:
•

•
•
•

Avoid direct sunlight and extremely hot, cold or humid locations. Environment temperature
should be between 40 and 90 degrees Fahrenheit, and relative humidity between 10 and 90
percent.
Avoid excessive dust and vibration.
Avoid locations with abrupt temperature swings.
Avoid power circuits with thermostat-controlled equipment or other equipment that draws large
currents.

Use of surge protection, uninterruptible power supply (UPS), and telephone line protection is
strongly recommended.

Planning
Follow the steps below to plan the elements and features of the voice mail system.
1. Review the Integration Notes for your particular telephone switch to determine the parameter
limits and features available. If it appears that your switch does not support a desirable feature,
the TVM-2000 may provide you with the ability to configure an alternate method by utilizing its
own internal hardware and software systems. See “Section 3: Using TVM-2000 Features” on
page 41 for more information on activating features using non-compliant switches.
2. Develop a list of existing extensions.
3. Ascertain the relationship(s) among extensions, e.g., John Smith is one of 25 extensions in the
Customer Service Department.
4. Work with the client to establish parameters and system-wide preferences.
5. Develop a call progress work flow diagram to find any possible “dead-ends” in your system.
Ensure that all caller options either end in a voice response or a voice mailbox, fax or fax
mailbox, or return the caller to the main menu.
Using “Appendix A: Worksheets” on page 145 will expedite the planning process.

System Greetings
System Greetings are the initial greetings callers hear when they reach the TVM-2000. System
Greetings are composed from the Welcome Message, Main Menu Part 1, Single Digit Menu, and
Main Menu Part 2. Each of these greetings can be customized, numbered, and programmed to play
on different days or at different times of the day. The TVM-2000 concatenates these greetings and
plays them to the caller as if they were a single greeting.
Typical System Greeting structures use a total of 6 greetings and arrange them depending on the day
and time the call comes into the system. The order in which the messages are played are configured
via the Operations screen.

Figure 1-4: Operations Screen — To access from the Main Menu, press [O].

TVM-2000 Technical Reference Manual

17

Section 1: Express Install

Example:
ABC Corporation wants to greet callers with 3 different greetings depending on the time of day.
During the day, callers will hear:
Welcome to ABC Corporation. If you know your party’s extension number, you may dial it at
any time. For a company directory, dial 411. For sales, press 1, for technical support press 2,
for fax on demand press 3. If you need further assistance, please press 0 or stay on the line
for the operator.
After hours, callers will hear:
Welcome to ABC Corporation, our hours of operation are from 8:30 AM to 7:30 PM. If you
know your party’s extension number, you may dial it at any time. For a company directory,
dial 411.
During lunch, callers will hear:
Welcome to ABC Corporation, from 12 p.m. to 1 p.m. we are closed for lunch. If you know
your party’s extension number, you may dial it at any time. For a company directory, dial
411. For emergency technical support, press 7.
In order to do this, the administrator would record and label 6 greetings as shown below:
1. “Welcome to ABC Corporation”
2. “Welcome to ABC Corporation, our hours of operation are from 8:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m.”
3. “Welcome to ABC Corporation, from 12 p.m. to 1 p.m. we are closed for lunch.”
4. “If you know your party’s extension number, you may dial it at any time. For a company
directory, dial 411.”
5. “For sales, press 1; for technical support, press 2; for fax on demand, press 3.”
6. “If you need further assistance, please press 0 or stay on the line for the operator.”
The greetings could then be arranged as shown in the matrix in figure 1-4. The greeting for each
mode is the concatenated greetings in the column for that time of day. The TVM-2000 allows for
the same greeting number to be used during different times of the day thereby increasing
flexibility in rearranging and recording greetings.
Note: If only one greeting is recorded, the greeting number should be put in the “Main Menu
Part 1” row on the Operations screen.

Recording System Greetings (Telephone Interface)
Record your greetings from the TVM-2000’s Administrative menus. The administration mailbox
number is 99 or 999. (“Greeting Scripts” on page 154 can be used to plan your greetings before you
record them.)
To access the Administrative Options Menu, perform the following steps:
1. Call the TVM-2000 from any touch-tone phone.
2. Press [*] at the TVM-2000 welcome message.
3. Dial [9]+[9]+[9] (for 3 digit dialing plan) when asked for a mailbox number.
4. Enter [9]+[8]+[7]+[6] (default) when asked for the access code.
5. Enter [9] when the Mailbox Owners Main Menu is played.
After you access the administration side, the Administration Options Menu will play. Press [2], [3] to
access the Record System Greetings menu. Select option 8 if you are recording by number. After
recording, the TVM-2000 will offer you four options:
•
To listen to your greeting, press [1]
•
To save your greeting, press [2]
•
To record your greeting again, press [3]
•
To exit without saving, press [4]

TVM-2000 Technical Reference Manual

Section 1: Express Install

Using Pre-Recorded Greetings
Some dealers and customers prefer using professionally recorded greetings instead of recording
System Greetings through the telephone. If you wish to have your greetings professionally
recorded, first make sure that your vendor can digitize recordings into 8 bit, 8 kilohertz PCM mulaw files. The files can then be labeled according to the numbers used in the matrix on the
operations screen (01.msg, 02.msg, etc.). Once the greetings are labeled, shut down the TVM2000 and place the files in the c:\tm\msg\ directory. The new greetings will be used once the
TVM-2000 is re-started.

Setting Operation Modes
The next step in setting up the initial system greetings is to tell the TVM-2000 when to play day,
night and special messages.
1. On the Operations screen, make sure the Day/Night Mode field is set to “Auto” (default).
2. From the Operations screen, access the Set Business Hours screen.
3. Use the Set Business Hours screen to configure Day, Night, and Special time ranges.

Setting Up Operator (General Delivery) Mailboxes
The first mailboxes to set up are the Operator, or General Delivery mailboxes. These are the default
mailboxes used, for example, when the caller selects no options or the mode of operation dictates a
transfer to a general delivery mailbox, such as during holidays.
Before working on a mailbox, it must be created via the Mailbox/Setup Editing screen.
Set the mailbox number for Day or Night mode by entering the operator’s mailbox in the Day
General Delivery MB and the Night General Delivery MB fields on the Operations Screen.

Fax Detection
The TVM-2000 base unit includes the ability to detect Fax calls (CNG tones) and transfer them to a

Company Directory Options
The last step in your express setup is to specify your company directory options. The TVM-2000 can
be configured to allow callers to access a directory of telephone extensions through the Name Search
screen, and can be further configured to perform special functions if there is more than one person at
a company with the same first or last name.

Figure 1-6: Name Search Screen — To access from the Main Menu, press [C], «NameSearch».
The Company directory allows callers to find their party by name. There are five fields that control
the behavior of the Directory feature:
Disable Name Search Name Search screen
Toggles on or off (activating or deactivating) the Directory Option.
Hide Extension Number Name Search screen
When set to “No” (default), this parameter allows the TVM-2000 to reveal the extension number of
the called party to the caller, i.e., “You are being transferred to extension 111, John Smith.” When
set to “Yes”, the caller is simply put through to the called party without first learning the extension
number, i.e., “You are being transferred to John Smith.”

Section 1: Express Install

List Names on Search Name Search screen
This parameter overrides the Operations screen’s Name Search Msg field and works in two separate
ways after more than one name in the Corporate Directory is identified as matching the caller’s
entry:
“Yes”: (default) After the caller is instructed to enter the first three letters of the name of the person
she/he is trying to reach, the TVM-2000 announces if the person you are trying to reach is , press [1]. If the name identified is incorrect, the caller is asked to press [2]. If there is more
than one person with a last name that matches the caller’s entry, the TVM-2000 system then plays
the next person’s name, until no additional names are identified. At that point, the Voice Mail plays a
message that no match was found, and the caller is returned to the main menu to review the other
options.
“No”: The caller is instructed to enter the first three letters of the last name of the person she/he is
trying to reach. If more than one person is identified by the caller’s entry, the Voice Mail then asks
for the first three letters of the first name, and then the middle initial until no additional names are
identified. At that point, the Voice Mail plays a message that no match was found.
Follow the following steps to complete the setup of the Company Directory:
1. Enter the Configuration Settings screen by pressing [C] from the Main Menu.
2. Set the Directory MB field to the digits the caller needs to enter in order to access the directory.
By default this field is set to 002.
3. Enter the Operations screen by pressing [O] from the main menu.
4. Highlight the Name Search Msg field. This field controls the message that is played when the
caller reaches the directory.
5. Instruct each Mailbox Owner to enter his or her name in the corporate directory by following the
directions in the TVM-2000 User’s Guide.
Warning — Names will not show up in the name search unless they are entered and recorded.
Directory MB Configuration screen
This field determines the digits the caller needs to enter to access the company directory.
Name Search Msg Operations screen
This field controls the message that is played when the caller reaches the directory. This field may be
set as follows:
1. “General”: Prompts the caller to enter up to the first three letters of the first or last name of the
person they are trying to reach.
2. “First”: Prompts the caller to enter up to the first three letters of the first name of the person they
are trying to reach.
3. “Last”: Prompts the caller to enter up to the first three letters of the last name of the person they
are trying to reach.

Call Recording and Call Screening
Call Recording is most effective when combined with Speakerphone Announce and Call Screening.
The caller dials the desired extension and is prompted to speak his/her name. When the incoming call
is picked up by the extension, the Voice Mail will prompt the called party with: “Call from (caller’s
name). To save a recording of this call, press [1]. To tentatively record this call, press [2]. To not
record this call, press the [#] key.” If [1] or [2] is selected, the TVM-2000 will record both sides of
the conversation.
Enabling Call Recording requires switches that support “Supervised Transfers”. Check the Switch
Integration Notes for each switch that doesn’t support Supervised Transfers for additional
instructions on enabling Call Recording.

Section 2: Mailbox Setup

Call Distribution Types
The Call Distribution field handles how group mailboxes distribute calls.

Top Down
Calls to group mailboxes with “Top Down” call distribution are distributed to the same extension in
the group in the same order. Each new call that comes in is routed to the same first extension each
time.

Uniform
Calls to group mailboxes with “Uniform” call distribution are distributed to group members in
sequential order. For each new call that comes in, the mailbox checks the last place to which it
transferred a call and begins hunting at the next Group Mailbox member.

Example: Top Down vs. Uniform
A mailbox group has members A, B, C, and D. If the group were set up as a “Top Down”
mailbox, incoming calls would always be first routed to mailbox A. If mailbox A was busy, the
call would be routed to B, then C, and finally D. The next incoming call would again be routed
first to extension A. If the group were set up as a “Uniform” mailbox, the first incoming call
routed to A. If mailbox A was busy, the call would be routed to B, then C, and finally D. The
NEXT incoming call would be routed to B. If B was busy, the call would be routed to C, D, and
finally A. The next incoming call would start off with C, etc.
Make sure NoCallProgress is NOT activated (there is no “*” next to NoCallProgress) if either Top
Down or Uniform groups are used.

None
Calls to ACD Only mailboxes with “None” selected route calls as any other non-Group mailbox
would.

Setting Up Multi-tenant & Multilingual Operator (General Delivery)
Mailboxes
When a call comes into the multi-tenant or multilingual system, the operator mailbox number is
calculated according to the tenant number or language number. Tenant number or language number
is referred to as “ID” below.
Before beginning this procedure, make sure “Operator by ID” (if configuring Multi-tenant) or
“Operator by Language” (if configuring multilingual) on the [A]dvanced, [M]ore screen is set to
“Yes”.
The operator mailbox number for each incoming call should calculated according to the following
rules:
1. If a tenant or language has an ID of 1, the Operator (General Delivery) mailbox number is the
number entered in the Day or Night General Delivery MB field.
2. For all other ID’s, the Operator (General Delivery) mailbox number is the number entered in the
Day or Night General Delivery MB field plus the ID number.

Example 1:
A Four-port system is configured for four tenants. The “Multi-tenant by port” application is used.
The Port unique identifiers are “1” for port 1, “1” for port 2, “2” for port 3, and “2” for port 4. The

Section 3: Using TVM-2000 Features

Creating Call Screening within the Voice Mail
This feature enables switches that do not support Call Screening to use the TVM-2000’s hardware
and software to set up Call Screening without the help of the switch. This approach does not work
with all switches. To check whether or not TVM-2000 can emulate call screening with a particular
switch, see “Loading Switch Defaults” on page 16.
1. Access the [M]ore Switch Configuration Menu by pressing [A], [M] from the Main Menu.
2. Enter “Yes” in the Alt. Spkrphn field.
3. Refer to the reference manual that came with the switch to determine the specific digits to enter
in Put on Hold and Pick up Hold fields. These fields must have values entered for Call
Screening to work properly.
4. For each individual mailbox, activate (put a “*” next to) the Speakerphone field in the «Mailbox
Attr.» screen.
Once these parameters are enabled/have values set, the Voice Mail systems first refers to the switch
for Call Screening, and upon not finding it at the switch level, returns to the Voice Mail system,
accessing the Alt. Spkrphn settings.
The caller dials the mailbox owner’s extension, and the TVM-2000 asks the caller to speak his or her
name. The TVM-2000 then dials the extension number. If the call connects, the TVM-2000 asks the
receiver if she/he wants to take a call from [caller’s recorded name>, prompting to press [1] to
accept. The receiver hangs up the phone, and the TVM-2000 releases the caller back to the
extension. Hanging up without pressing [1] returns the call to Voice Mail message prompts.

Section 3: Using TVM-2000 Features

Creating Paging within the Voice Mail
Many of the switches that do not have the “Meet-Me Page” feature can still use TVM-2000’s
hardware and software to offer paging functionality.
1. In the [M]ore Switch Configuration Menu, change the Alt. Page Parameter to “Yes.”
2. Refer to the switch’s Integration Note (See the Switch Integration Manual ) and the reference
manual that came with the switch to determine the specific digits to enter in Put on Hold and
Pick up Hold fields. These fields must have values entered in order for Paging to work.
3. For each individual mailbox, activate (put a “*” next to) the Page Ok or Page Always field in
the «Mailbox Attr.» screen.
Once these parameters are enabled/have values set, the Voice Mail system first refers to the switch
for Paging, and upon not finding it at the switch level, returns to the Voice Mail system, accessing
the Alt. Page settings.
To use this method for paging with Page Ok enabled, the caller dials the mailbox owner’s extension,
and fails to connect (no answer). The Voice Mail offers the caller the option of entering [3] to page.
Upon confirmation from the caller, the Voice Mail dials the paging sequence. The Voice Mail then
plays the mailbox owner’s pre-recorded name or extension number over the public address system,
announcing that the extension has a call, and that it is being transferred to an extension.
When Page Always is enabled, the caller does not get a series of prompts with paging as one of the
options. Instead, the caller is put on hold and the Voice Mail immediately dials the paging sequence.

Processing Rules in SMDI
The TVM-2000 is able to interpret serial rules specified in two kinds of formats, as ASCII codes or
as Hexadecimal codes, depending on the setting for the Hex System for Rules field on the General
Configuration screen (See “General Config Screen” on page 55.)
Each rule is a logical representation of a string of characters that the VM receives from the PBX. All
variable characters such as calling extension number or trunk number, should be substituted with
special ‘%$’ sequences, where:
VARIABLE
%F
%E
%G
%T
%D
%A
%V
%X
%I
%Q
?
*

DESCRIPTION
Forwarding from extension number
Calling extension number
Calling trunk group
Calling trunk number
Calling DID port
Caller ID
Voice Mail ID of port that the incoming call information is for
Unused or insignificant number
Dialed digits (may include ‘*’ and ‘#’)
Extension number ML operation is being performed for
Any character
Any number of any characters

For example, if the PBX sends the sequence ‘02,EVVV,EXXX,EYYY’ when an internal call is
forwarded upon busy condition from extension YYY to VM ID of VVV and the original caller is
XXX, one of the «Fwd Busy Int.» rules should look like ‘02,E%V,E%E,E%F’.
If rules are not delineated by commas, the width of each field needs to be specified. This can be done
in one of two ways: Through the “Extension Number Length” field or by adding the width between
the “%” and variable. (%2F would denote a Forwarding Extension number that was two digits.)

Example:
A rule is set as “8543%F”.
If “Hex System for Rules” is set to “No”, then all of the rules entered in the SMDI configurations
screen are taken as ASCII codes. Thus the TVM-2000 will look for the ASCII values (decimal) of
8543 (in other words, “56 52 51 50” coming through the serial port.
If “Hex System for Rules” is set to “Yes”, then all of the rules entered in the SMDI configurations
screen are taken as Hexadecimal codes. Thus, the TVM-2000 will look for the Hexadecimal code
(Hex 85 and Hex 43 or 0x85 and 0x43) coming through the serial port.
Sequences sent FROM the TVM-2000 to the PBX (Outgoing Rules) are not affected by the
setting in the “Hex System for Rules” field. If Outgoing Rules are not ASCII sequences, they
should be proceeded by a “^” and should be three digits long. In other words, to send the decimal
number 45 to the switch, the TVM-2000 should send the sequence “^045”.
If the TVM-2000 uses a sequence of characters to determine the beginning and ending of all
incoming sequences, these should be configured in the Beginning and Ending Marks screen. (See
“Beginning Marks Screen” on page 62).

Advanced Hotel Parameters
In addition to the setting of the guest mailbox template and the default fax machine number, the
Hospitality feature offers parameters that determine whether guests can access the voice mail only
from their room or also from other locations; and whether the system uses the automated attendant to
transfer calls to guest rooms, or operator intervention is required.

FIELD
Remote Guest Access
Transfer to Guest
«Admin. Ext.»

DESCRIPTION
Enables or disables access to guest mailboxes from an internal
extension or an outside line.
When set to “Yes”, caller may dial room extension directly. When
set to “No”, the Voice Mail requires operator intervention for
transfer to room extension.
Accesses Admin Ext. screen, enabling the activation of up to ten
Admin. mailboxes.

Remote Guest Access indicates whether or not a guest needs a password to access messages. If set to
“No,” messages can only be heard from the guest’s room or from an administrative extension. If set
to “Yes,” guests must access the Voice Mail from their rooms first and set their access code. Once
set, messages can be accessed from any telephone capable of accessing the TVM-2000.
Regardless of the setting, when guests calls from their rooms or an administrative extensions, the
TVM-2000 will not ask for a password.

Transfer to Guests
Transfer to Guests allows the Voice Mail to transfer calls directly to the guest mailboxes. If this
parameter is disabled, the caller must dial [9] + [Extension]. If callers enter just the room number,
they will hear “The selection you’ve made is not valid. Please make another selection.”
Administrative Extensions
The Administrative Extensions screen allows the up to 10 administrative extensions to be set.

Figure 4-17: Administrative Extension Screen — To access from the Main Menu, press [A],
[M], «Hotel», «Admin.Ext».
This option permits setting up to ten Administrative phone extensions. Administrative extensions are
used to allow access to guest mailboxes from outside the room WITHOUT requiring a password. For
example, if messages arrive for guests while they are checking out, they could use the operator’s
phone to listen to these messages without having to return to their room.

Property Management System (PMS)
The Property Management System (PMS) Module was developed exclusively for the Hotel/Motel
industry. The simple interface allows front desk personnel to check in and check out guest
mailboxes. The auto-attendant can be programmed to answer calls for both guests and hotel
administrators, or for administrators only. The guest mailboxes can be password protected to secure
private access to messages from outside the room. This module also features a quick automatic
wake-up call scheduling function, and integrates fully with many Property Management Systems.

Figure 4-18: PMS Setup Screen — To access from the Main Menu press [A], [M], «Other»,
«PMS Setup».
First room, Last room and Rooms Per Floor parameters are used to narrow the continuous
numeration to the actual room numbers. It is assumed that every floor has the number of Rooms Per
Floor rooms starting with a room number ending on 01. If Rooms Per Floor = 0, the TVM-2000 uses
continuous numeration from the First room to the Last room.
The “Request PMS General Reset” button is used to send the Reset Request message to the PMS.

System Upgrades
Adding voice mail ports, fax ports, and system storage is done by contacting Telekol’s Sales
Department. Instructions for each upgrade come with the upgrade diskettes.

Multilingual Software (MLS)
If purchased as part of a new TVM-2000 system, Multilingual Software (MLS) will be installed and
tested at the factory. When purchased as an upgrade, the software is delivered on a 3-1/2" diskette.
To install the upgrade, follow the steps below:
1. Insert the diskette into the A: drive on your TVM-2000.
2. Go to [U]tilities, [U]pgrade TVM System.
3. Follow the instructions on the screen to complete the installation.

To Use the Multilingual Option
If the multilingual software is installed, the TVM-2000 automatically plays the multilingual greeting
as part of the welcome message. The default multilingual portion of the welcome message is “For
English, press 1. For Spanish, press 2.” To record over the default multilingual welcome message,
access the administrator side and then enter ‘2’ + ‘3’ + ‘7’.
The rest of the multilingual messages are accessed by first calling the TVM-2000, accessing the
respective language, pressing “*” and then accessing the administrator mailbox.

Foreign Language Support (FLS) modules
Foreign Language Support (FLS) modules include all recorded generic greetings for use with the
MLS option. Up to nine foreign language modules can be used with each TVM-2000 system.

•
If the problem persists check if all the ports are busy.
•

The system does not recognize DTMF:
Verify that the phones are sending valid DTMF signals.

•

The single-digit menu is not functioning properly:
Verify that the single-digit menu message has been recorded.
•
Verify that the SINGLE DIGIT MENU ACTIVE parameter is set to YES.
•
Verify that the ACTIVE AT NIGHT parameter is set properly.
•
Check the digit selections, and verify that they correspond to active mailboxes.
•

The dial-by-name directory does not work:

TVM-2000 Technical Reference Manual

81

Section 5: System Testing

The system cannot be accessed through a serial communications device:
•
Make sure that the remote communications utility has been enabled.
•
If a local device is being used, verify that a null modem cable is being used.
•
Be sure that the cable is plugged into the serial port with the DB-9 connector
•
Be sure that the communications software is configured to support 19,200 baud, no parity, 8 data
bits, 1 stop bit; and is configured for VT-100 terminal emulation.
•
Verify that the Port Location parameter is set appropriately.
•
If the modem is being used, verify that a phone line is plugged into the LINE jack, and that the
correct phone number is being dialed.
Some cables hold pin 9 high, which prevents the connection from being made. In that case,
cutting pin 9 resolves the problem.
The TVM-2000 hangs up on the caller after playing the welcome message:
Check that the operator mailbox exists. See “Setting Up Multi-tenant & Multilingual Operator
(General Delivery) Mailboxes” on page 47.

All Ports Ring
This feature has two options:
Yes: (default) used on phone systems where each call to Voice Mail rings all available Voice Mail
extensions at once. The Voice Mail system answers one line at a time.
No: disables the above capability, allowing the Voice Mail to answer calls more quickly on phone
systems that ring only one port per call. This switch dependent parameter is included as part of the
loading of Preset Switch Defaults.
Max. Greeting Length
This parameter defines the maximum number of seconds allowed for the recording of individual
greetings. The default is 60 seconds. The maximum length for a greeting is 9,999 seconds.
Disconnect on Silence
Disconnect on Silence enables the Voice Mail system to disconnect the caller after a specified
number of seconds of silence. This feature has two options:
Yes: (default) automatically disconnects the caller after the number of seconds of silence has
elapsed. (To change the number of seconds, see RSilenceLimit in “Standard Parameters Menu” on
page 138).
No: terminates the caller recording and returns the caller to the recording options greeting.

Indicates the maximum number of rings on an internal “wait for answer” Voice Mail operation, such
as single line phone message notification, before it considers the call a non-connect. Based on the
setting entered in the Num Notifies field of the Edit Mailbox Screen, the Voice Mail will continue to
attempt notification of that extension.
*4 Outbound Rings
This feature indicates the maximum number of rings on an external “wait for answer” Voice Mail
operation, such as Beeper and Outbound notification processes, before it considers the call a nonconnect. Based on the setting entered in the Num Notifies field of the Edit Mailbox Screen, the Voice
Mail will continue to attempt notification of that external telephone number or beeper number.

Section 6: System Reference

«Emergency Purge»
Indicates the percentage of the disk that can be full before the TVM-2000 purges old messages. The
TVM-2000 checks the hard disk during nightly maintenance. If it finds the disk is full to the
percentage specified in this field, it creates a log file pgXXX.log for each mailbox (where XXX is
the mailbox number) that contains all message names, dates, and if possible senders and callback
numbers. Mailboxes can be excluded from the emergency purge routine by selecting the “Do Not
Purge” flag in the Mailbox Attributes screen (see “Mailbox Attributes” on page 111).
Beeper Seq.
This parameter determines the appropriate string of control codes associated with the beeper
notification feature. For further instructions on setting up beeper notification, see “Notification
Options” on page 29.
Rtrys. on No Input
This parameter indicates the number of times the Voice Mail system will repeat a greeting to a caller
before disconnecting because of no response from the caller. The Voice Mail waits six seconds
between tries. 0 is a legal value in this parameter; choose from 0 to 9 times to replay the greeting.
Min. Rec. Length
This feature allows the system administrator to assign the minimum number of seconds of message
recording that identifies that the message is a valid message, storing it in the individual’s mailbox.
Messages shorter than this value are discarded.
Delay for Ext.
This parameter indicates the number of seconds the Voice Mail will wait for the caller to enter
another digit, before assuming the number complete. The default is two seconds.
Example:
Delay for Ext is set to “1”. The caller enters [2][3][4]. The system waits one second after the [4] is
entered in case additional digits are entered. Upon receiving no additional digits within the onesecond delay, it transfers the caller to extension 234.
It is strongly recommended that the default setting for “Delay for Ext.” be maintained.
Page Delay
The maximum number of seconds the Voice Mail system will wait after paging a person associated
with a mailbox. If the person does not pick up the call within the specified amount of time, the caller
is given the opportunity to leave a message in that person’s mailbox.
Operator Delay
The maximum number of seconds a caller will be left on hold after hearing the option to stay on the
line to speak to an operator. After the specified number of seconds indicated in this field, the caller is
automatically sent to the operator. The default is six seconds; the range is between 1 and 120. 0 is not
a valid entry.

This function determines the maximum number of people holding in the Voice Mail’s call queuing.
The default is four callers in the queue; the range of this parameter is between one and the number of
ports. 0 is not a valid entry. It is recommended that this field have a value LESS than the number of
voice mail ports.
Hold Attempts
This field indicates the number of attempts to connect to an extension prior to asking the caller if
they would like to continue holding. The default is four tries; the range of this parameter is between
1 and 99 attempts. 0 is not a valid entry.
Hold Seconds
This field indicates the number of seconds BETWEEN each attempt to connect to an extension. The
default is ten seconds; the range of this parameter is between 1 and 120 seconds. 0 is not a valid

The Name Search Screen has three fields that control the behavior of the Company Directory feature:
Disable Name Search
Toggles on or off (activating or deactivating) the Directory Option.
Play Extension Number
When set to “Yes” (default), this parameter allows the TVM-2000 to reveal the extension number of
the called party to the caller, i.e., “You are being transferred to extension 111, John Smith.” When
set to “No”, the caller is simply put through to the called party without first learning the extension
number, i.e., “You are being transferred to John Smith.”
List Names on Search
Enables and disables the name search engine. This parameter overrides the Operation Screen’s
NameSearchMsg field. This function works in two separate ways after more than one name in the
Corporate Directory is identified as matching the caller’s entry:
Yes: (default) After the caller is instructed to enter the first three letters of the name of the person
they are trying to reach, the TVM-2000 announces that if the person you are trying to reach is
, press [1]. If the name identified is incorrect, the caller is asked to press [2]. If
there is more than one person with a last name that matches the caller’s entry, the Voice Mail system
then plays the next person’s name, until no additional names are identified. At that point, the Voice
Mail plays a message that no match was found, and the caller is returned to the main menu for
further options.
No: The caller is instructed to enter the first three letters of the last name of the person they are
trying to reach. If more than one person is identified by the caller’s entry, the Voice Mail then asks
for the first three letters of the first name, and then the middle initial, until no additional names are
identified. At that point, the Voice Mail plays a message that no match was found.

Single Digit Menus are set up to allow quick access to group, audiotext, and other mailboxes used in
the call control process. When callers reach a single digit mailbox, they are given prompts during the
greeting phase which direct them to sequentially smaller subsets of available mailboxes in order to
quickly route the caller to the correct extension.

102

TVM-2000 Technical Reference Manual

Section 6: System Reference

To set up the single digit menu, determine which mailboxes will be associated with each digit in
your menu (Available choices are 1 through 9).
1. It is recommended that you plan your menus in association with the greetings using the
worksheets in “Appendix A: Worksheets ” in the Switch Integration Manual. Start with the first
greeting structure the caller hears and identify where single digit menus would facilitate the call
progress.
2. Mailboxes should first be added through the Mailbox Setup/Editing Screen. (See Figure 6-16 on
page 105.)
3. Enter the mailbox number for each single digit menu item you plan to use.
The mailbox types that work well with single digit menus are varied, but not limited, to:
•

•

•

•
•
•

•

ACD Group mailboxes allow the Voice Mail to hunt through a specified series of extensions
until an available connection is found. To set up an ACD Group mailbox, see “Group
Mailboxes” on page 34.
Announcement Only mailboxes are ideal for playing directions to the office, shipping
instructions, etc. To set up an Announcement Only mailbox, see “Enabling Announcement
Only” on page 41.
Audiotext mailboxes are usually part of all single digit menu items. The Voice Mail plays the
options, instructions, and prompts to assist the caller through the process. To set up an Audiotext
mailbox, see “To Set Up an Audiotext Mailbox” on page 42.
Broadcast Group mailboxes send information to all extensions in a specified series. To set up a
Broadcast mailbox, see “Group Mailboxes” on page 34.
Corporate Directory mailboxes can, but do not have to be, assigned to a single digit.
Dispatch mailboxes allow the caller to send information back out to a series of mailbox owners
in the field. All members of the group are notified in sequence until one retrieves the
information. To set up a Dispatch mailbox, see “Group Mailboxes” on page 34.
Q&A mailboxes allow the caller to record information without speaking to another person. The
Voice Mail uses the Audiotext feature to prompt the caller for responses, records those
responses, and saves them in the mailbox until they are retrieved. To set up a Q&A mailbox, see
“Setting Up Q&A Mailboxes” on page 39.

Enables the two-way call recording feature.

Day Transfer
When this option is activated, calls will be transferred to the physical extension number only during
the system’s daytime operation mode. During night (“Off hours”) operation, calls will be transferred
directly into the Voice Mailbox.
Notify
This option may be used when more than one Voice Mailbox is assigned to a single extension. For
example, an extension can be assigned with one mailbox for sales calls and another for personal
calls. Each time a phone call is received at that extension, the TVM-2000 will announce the mailbox
the call is for prior to connecting the call. This option is only available in a TVM-2000 supervised
call transfer.
NoCallProgress (Blind Transfer)
When activated, this function will cause the TVM-2000 to transfer the call and immediately
disconnect itself. It is then the responsibility of the telephone switch to forward a busy or
unanswered call back to the TVM-2000 extension.
Direct Access
After hearing the Voice Mail greeting, the TVM-2000 will prompt callers to record their message
instead of playing the standard menu of options.
Group
Enables group options on this box. (See “Group Setup” on page 115.)
Speakerphone
When this feature is activated, the TVM-2000 will announce incoming calls; “You have a call”, or
“John Smith - you have a call” (if a name was recorded for this mailbox) followed by, “Press 1 to
accept the call”. This feature is useful when the telephone switch does not send any callback tones to
allow the TVM-2000 to determine if a call has been answered. After the announcement, the recipient
can enter [1] to accept the call, or do nothing. If the recipient does not accept, the call is routed to
their mailbox. This option is only valid in a supervised call transfer. If your switch does not support
Call Screening, enabling this field along with a few others will allow the TVM-2000 to utilize its
own internal hardware and software to implement this feature. See “Creating Call Screening within
the Voice Mail” on page 48 for detailed instructions.
VoiceMail Only
When this feature is activated, this mailbox will have Voice Mail functionality only; no calls will be
transferred to the individual extension. The message notification options will function normally in
this mode. The difference between Voice Mail Only and Direct to Voice Mail fields is this: Voice
Mail Only is a System Administrator option while Direct to Voice Mail is activated and de-activated
by the mailbox owner. The resulting functionality is the same for both fields.

112

TVM-2000 Technical Reference Manual

Section 6: System Reference

Page Ok
This type of mailbox allows callers to alert a person through the paging system if the mailbox owner
was unavailable at their extension. If, after the TVM-2000 plays the message, “Press [1] to leave a
message, [2] for another extension, or [3] to page”, the caller enters [3], the system will say “One
moment please” and attempt to page the mailbox owner. If the mailbox owner does not respond, the
caller is again given the greeting message, but is not given the option to page again. Your telephone
switch must have the ability to “Meet-Me Page” for overhead paging. Refer to your switch manuals
to determine if the switch has this capability. If your switch does not support Paging, See “Creating
Paging within the Voice Mail” on page 49 for details.
Page Always

Whenever a caller dials this type of mailbox, the TVM-2000 pages the mailbox owner instead of
transferring the call to their extension.
Urgent Ok
When this feature is activated, callers will be given the option to mark messages as urgent. Messages
marked urgent are played before other messages when accessed by the mailbox owner. If the
mailbox owner has outbound beeper notification activated, it will perform notification only if urgent
messages have been left. (see “Notification Options” on page 29).
Alternate Message Notification

When activated, message notification to this mailbox will use the alternate message notification
sequence. This option is useful when proprietary telephones and standard telephones are used on the
same switch. In this case, proprietary telephones will have a message light notification and standard
telephones will be verbally notified according to the alternate notification sequence.
Skip Status
This feature, when activated, does not play the Busy/No Answer prompt upon hearing those
responses from the extension. Instead, it goes directly to the “Leave a message at the tone” prompt.
Call Screening
When activated, callers are asked to speak their name. The call is then transferred to the extension.
The person answering the telephone will hear “Call from (caller’s name).” This option may be used
in conjunction with the notify and speakerphone options, and is only valid in a TVM-2000
supervised call transfer.
Beep Only
When activated, this feature skips the mailbox greeting completely and sends the caller directly to
Voice Mail, skipping the “Leave a message at the tone” prompt.
No Options

After a message has been left at the extension, no option prompts are played to the caller. For
example, instead of hearing the following prompt:
“To listen to the message you just recorded, press [1]. To send the message, press [2]. To record your
message, press [3]. To exit without sending your message, press the [#] key.”;
the following prompt is played:
“Press [1] for another extension. Press [2] to hang up.”
Fax Ok
In addition to standard Voice Mail, this feature allows an extension to also receive faxes. The Voice
Mail system will identify CNG tone and immediately send the call to the fax machine.
Fax Only
Extensions with “Fax Only” activated can only receive faxes.

Busy Override (Call Waiting)
When activated, this function utilizes the Busy Override feature of the phone system (if available).
Another parameter associated with this is the Busy Override field found on the [M]ore Switch
Configurations Screen from the [A]dvanced Settings Menu. Both must be enabled and digits entered
in order for a Busy Override session to work efficiently.
Capture Digits
When activated, this function records the digits entered by a caller. For example, the voice mail
needs to record phone number entries in order to enter a number to call back in a beeper message
window.
If Capture Digits has a star (*) next to it, and beeper forwarding is active, callers will be prompted,
“To leave a message, press [1]...To leave a number where you can be reached, press [5].” If the
caller presses [5], they will be prompted “Please enter the number where you can be reached,
followed by the [#] key.” After entry of the number is completed, the caller will be prompted “To
continue, press [1]. To disconnect, press [2].”
The mailbox owner will be beeped with the captured digits replacing “*8” in the Beeper Seq. string.
If the caller left a number, the mailbox owner will be beeped, and the number to call will appear in
the beeper window.

Using groups, the system administrator can link (or group) mailboxes together. Each group can hold
up to 40 members, and there is no limit to the number of groups allowed. One of the “members” of a
group can be another group. There are four types of group mailboxes:
Broadcast Group Mailbox: Messages left in this group mailbox are sent (broadcast) to every
member within the group (see “Group Types” on page 35).
Dispatch Group Mailbox: Messages left in this group mailbox are sent (broadcast) to every
member of the group. Once a member of the group listens to the message, the message is removed
from all other mailboxes in the group.
ACD Only Group Mailbox: Distributes calls insofar as the Call Distribution field specifies. Does
not handle messages. (see “Group Mailboxes” on page 34).
Retrieval Group Mailbox: This group is used to retrieve messages from several mailboxes in one
step. Accessing the owner’s side of the mailbox will allow the listener to hear all messages left for all
the members of the group. To skip to the next mailbox in the group press the star [*] key.
After a specific mailbox is configured as a group mailbox, it is possible to review, add, or delete

Backing Up the TVM-2000
Telekol recommends backing up the TVM-2000 after all greetings have been recorded and
mailboxes have been configured. Telekol further recommends backing up data after any changes
have been made. Power failures and/or electrical surges can result in loss of data!
During the backup procedure, the following elements will be saved on the diskette:
•
System configuration settings
•
Mailbox greeting messages
•
Active mailboxes and their settings
•
System greeting messages
•
Messages (optional: Backing up messages is only supported from the keyboard & monitor
interface.)
Perform a backup of the system, including settings, every time you modify, or once a month.
From the Main Menu, select [U]tilities and then [B]ackup. Decide whether or not you want to
backup all messages in addition to system and mailbox configuration. Insert formatted 1.44 MB
(3.5”) diskettes into drive A until the back up is complete.
Label and write protect the backup diskettes and store them in a safe place.

Restoring the TVM-2000 System
To restore the settings and greetings which were saved during a previous back up procedure, select
[R]estore TVM-2000 from the utilities screen. Insert the Back Up diskette(s) into the TVM-2000
floppy drive. If more than one diskette is being used, make sure that the diskettes are inserted in the
same sequence that they were backed up. The restore procedure is complete when the floppy drive
light turns off. Remove the diskette(s) and store them in a safe place.

Upgrading TVM-2000 System
Type [U] from the Utilities Screen, and a new screen will pop up, prompting you to insert the update
disk. The TVM-2000 upgrade software is fully automatic.

DESCRIPTION
Option to tell the TVM-2000 whether to expect DTMF digits
when it answers the line, and what to do with those digits.
“No” informs the Voice Mail to do no special in-band
integration, and simply act on the digits received. “Yes”
informs the Voice Mail to treat the digits received when it first
answers a call (defined by the DTMF interval timers) as a
mailbox number for which to take a message. If it receives a
valid mailbox number during this interval, it bypasses the
transfer, and goes straight to leaving a message. “Rules” tells
the TVM-2000 to interpret the DTMFs based on the [M]ore,
«Rules» screen.
Number of seconds to wait after taking port off-hook and
before the welcome message. This is in addition to the time
the TVM-2000 waits for DTMFs.

Rules
Rules support in-band DTMF signaling. When a call enters the Voice Mail, the telephone switch
sends DTMFs explaining how the call got there, e.g., direct call from outside line, direct call from
another extension, forwarded call from another extension, etc. Rules allow the Voice Mail to identify
the DTMF tones, interpret their meaning, and determine what to do with the call.

FIELD
Rule
Action

DESCRIPTION
Series of DTMF digits that Voice Mail detects by pattern and attempts to match
with an entry in this field.
Dictates what procedures the TVM-2000 performs, upon its recognition of a
DTMF series-based rule.

1. To activate rules, set the DID to VM: parameter from the [S]witch Settings screen to Rules.
2. The rules screen is set up as a table, with the left side (Rule:) representing a “pattern” to look for,
and the right side (Action:) tells the Voice Mail what to do when this particular pattern is
matched.

TVM-2000 Technical Reference Manual

129

Section 6: System Reference

3. The rules portion describes for which DTMF digits the VM should look. This sequence consists
of DTMFs (0-9, *, #, A, B, C, D) and special characters. These special characters are used to
represent different sequences that the switch can send to the Voice Mail.
SPECIAL CHARACTERS
?
Represents any one DTMF digit.
X
Represents any number composed of DTMF digits that the switch can send.
V
Represents the voice mail extension on which the call is coming in.
S
Represents the source extension number of a transferred call. On internal calls, this
lets the Voice Mail identify the person who is going to leave the message. (The
listener hears “Message from.”)
M
Represents the destination extension number of a transferred call. (The extension
which was forwarded to the Voice Mail)
T
Represents the trunk number of the call being transferred to the Voice Mail. This
variable is important if you are trying to set up a multi-tenant system, as it is used to
look up the correct VM Unique Id in the [L]ine ID Mapping Menu of the Voice Mail.
%n
Where n specifies the number of digits to expect.

4. The action parameter tells the Voice Mail what to do after it matches the rule. The action can be
one of the following:
ACTION
Not Used
Busy->Mbox
NA->Mbox
->Mbox
->AutoLogon
->Greeting
DayMode
NightMode
IgnoreCall
CallRecord

DESCRIPTION
Tells the Voice Mail not to use this rule.
Tells the Voice Mail to take a message for mailbox M, playing the busy
greeting.
Tells the Voice Mail to take a message for mailbox M, playing the No
Answer greeting.
Tells the Voice Mail to take a message for mailbox M, playing generic
greeting.
Tells the Voice Mail to go to the owner’s side, using M as the mailbox
number to log into.
Tells the Voice Mail to go to the main greeting
Tells the Voice Mail to switch into Day Mode, and disconnect the call.
Tells the Voice Mail to switch to Night Mode, and disconnect the call.
Tells the Voice Mail to simply hang up on the call. This would be used, for
instance, on the switches that send Day/Night mode information to the
Voice Mail, but you do not want to act on it.
Tells the Voice Mail to initiate a two-way call recording session.

5. The “Global last MB:” parameter toggles between “Yes” and “No”. This parameter is used when
you have an action that takes a mailbox number (-> Mbox for instance), and there is no mailbox
(M) in the rule section. In this case, the Voice Mail assumes that it should use the last mailbox to
which it was transferred. If Global last MB: is set to “No”, then the TVM-2000 finds the Port
that the call came in on, and transfers to the last mailbox the port used. If it is set to “Yes”, then
it assumes that it should use the last mailbox to which any port in the system transferred.
If a sequence of digits completely matches one rule, and could possibly match another rule if more
digits where to be sent, the VM will wait for more digits to try and determines which rule is the
correct one. It will use the DTMF interval timers to determine how long it should wait. If it does
not receive any more DTMFS, it uses the rule that completely matches.
The rules are processed from top to bottom. This means that if a sequence of digits completely
matches two different rules, it will use the first rule in the list.

130

TVM-2000 Technical Reference Manual

Section 6: System Reference

Rules take full advantage of TVM-2000’s functionality. For example, 1M is a valid rule; 1%2M is
better. The first would wait the full 2 second time-out for additional digits, while the second rule
would initiate the procedure immediately following the second digit.

Example:
The phone system sends “#01#MailboxToTakeMessageFor#”. The rule might look like:
#01#M#
There are additional modifiers that can be used on the special characters X, V, S, M, and T. The
“%” symbol tells the Voice Mail exactly how many digits to expect for the variable. For instance,
if the MailboxToTakeMessageFor in the previous example is always three digits, you could use:
#01#%3M#
%M without any number in between the “%” sign and the special character means one digit.
It is preferable to use the number of digits to expect because the voice mail knows exactly how
many digits to expect for the sequence; therefore it does not have to wait for additional digits.
It is also necessary at times to use the “%” format for the variables. Suppose a switch sends:
“1MailboxToTakeMessageForSourceExtension”
For instance, if extension 34 calls extension 12, and the call is forwarded to the Voice Mail, the
telephone switch sends “11234” to the Voice Mail.
12 = MailboxToTakeMessageFor
34 = SourceExtension
In this case the Voice Mail would have no way to distinguish the end of
MailboxToTakeMessageFor and the beginning of SourceExtension, so you must tell it exactly
how many digits to expect:
1%2M%2S

DESCRIPTION
Duration in hundredths of a second (10ms units) for
outgoing DTMF tones.
Duration in hundredths of a second (10ms units) that a drop
in loop current must be seen before recognizing it as a valid
loop drop.
The time delay in hundredths of a second (10 ms 50 units)
after answering the line before doing anything. Note:
Anything smaller than the default of 50 is ignored.
Minimum time in hundredths of a second (10ms units)
during a playback to recognize a DTMF. Note: This
parameter is not currently used and is fixed at 50ms
The delay in hundredths of a second (10ms units) after
dialing before starting call progress analysis.
Amount of time in hundredths of a second (10 ms 400 units)
to elapse after dialing before a drop in loop current would
be considered a connect signal.
Amount of time in hundredths of a second (10 ms 10 units)
after a valid loop drop has been detected before a connect
signal is sent to the VM (during call progress).
Amount of time in hundredths of a second (10 ms 150 units)
after answering one of the voice mail ports, (150 that if
another port is still ringing, it is considered 0 ms) a valid
ring. This parameter is used in conjunction with “All ports
ring” parameter. The all port’s ring option tells the voice mail
that the PBX will ring all of the voice mail ports on an
incoming call, and the voice mail should only let one port
answer, and wait to see if the ring goes away.
Amount of time in hundredths of a second (10 ms 100 units)
to pause and check for a dialtone or reorder tone during
certain point in the VM. (Before transferring to the operator
for instance.)
When set to a non-zero value, tells the voice mail that is
should assume an incoming ring signal is this many
seconds long. It then uses this value to determine when to
answer the phone. This parameter is mostly used on phone
systems where the off time during incoming rings is so
small (<200 ms) the voice mail has difficulty counting the
rings.
Maximum amount of silence allowed before the TVM-2000
assumes the call has been terminated during call recording.

Planning
Planning the elements and features of the system, prior to putting the system on-line, will ensure a
smooth transition for everyone. In order to accomplish this task, you must:
1. Review the Integration Notes for your particular telephone switch to determine the parameter
limits and features available. If it appears that your switch does not support a desirable feature,
the TVM-2000 may provide you with the ability to configure an alternate method by utilizing its
own internal hardware and software systems. (Contact your Telekol Authorized Dealer for more
details.)
2. Develop a list of existing extensions.
3. Match each extension with an associated name, i.e., John Smith or Customer Service.
4. Ascertain the relationship(s) among extensions, e.g., John Smith is one of 25 extensions in the
Customer Service Department.
5. Determine which functions and features available with your switch will enhance productivity
within the system, e.g., establish ACD Group Mailbox, an Audiotext Function for directing calls
to appropriate personnel, and Call Queuing for the Customer Service Department.
6. Work with the client to establish parameters and system-wide preferences.
7. Developing a call progress workflow diagram may prove very helpful in determining any
possible “dead-ends” in your system. Ensure that all caller options either end in a voice response
or voice mailbox, fax or fax mailbox, or return the caller to the main menu.
Telekol highly recommends that you invest your time in the planning of the system to insure all
callers and Mailbox owners receive the optimal use of the features available on the TVM-2000. The
following process will help you document all settings of the system, enabling you to offer your
customers a feature-rich, dependable, high quality messaging system while giving you the
documentation you need for troubleshooting any situations after installation.

Worksheet Overview
System Overview
This worksheet details all system-wide operation, configuration, and mailbox settings discussed in
Section 1: Express Install and Section 2: Mailbox Setup. Refer to these sections in this manual while
completing the form. This will allow you to configure the system quickly once on-line, since you
will have already done all the work on paper. Having the completed form with you when you call
Technical Support will allow them to review all significant parameters and respond to your questions
more precisely.

Mailbox Owner/Attributes Information
This form describes all the features assigned to each individual mailbox. It enables you, the installer,
to organize all types of mailboxes to fully utilize the TVM-2000 system.

Business Hour Information
This worksheet is helpful in organizing your business hours and matching them to modes of
operation.

Greeting Scripts, Part One
This form assists you in developing your custom greetings. Breaking them down into smaller
components allows you to group greetings in specific structures for use at different times of the day,
for different modes of operation, as well as for special applications. If you are installing a multitenant or multilingual system, complete a form for each tenant or language. Be sure to review your
greeting number assignments to eliminate any mixed system greetings.

Greeting Scripts, Part Two
Once the scripts have been given number assignments, string them into each specific greeting
needed. As each greeting can have up to four sections, this capability is shown on the form; however,
each greeting does NOT have to consist of four components. Be sure to label each greeting structure,
in case changes are made later. This will allow you to identify all structures that will be affected by
any recorded greeting changes.

Single Digit Menu Worksheets, Part 1
This worksheet will help you plan your single digit menu. You can use it to chart out what mailboxes
you want assigned to which keys.

Single Digit Menu Worksheets, Part 2
After assigning the mailboxes to the single digit menu in part 1, this form will allow you to write out
what the prompts will be for the various mailboxes.

Setting up a single digit menu tree requires careful planning. Administrators must first decide how many prompts they will
need, which mailboxes they will record the prompts in, and what keys callers will have to press to access those mailboxes.
Use the table below to record how your menu tree is structured. The Mailboxes in column one represent the menu callers hear
after accessing the single digit menu. The second column represents the mailboxes the callers access after pressing one of the
digits in the first column, etc.

TVM-2000 PMS Interface
The commands listed under Telekol Basic are commands sent from the PMS to the TVM-2000. The
PMS vendor can implement and use as many (or as few) of these commands as needed. The PMS
vendor can also add support for the additional commands listed under Telekol Advanced. Advanced
commands are sent from the TVM-2000 to the PMS system.
In general the PMS system will request the attention of the TVM-2000 by sending the Inquiry
Symbol ( by default). The TVM-2000 will either acknowledge with the default Response
Symbol () in which the PMS can send the message or the default Negative Response Symbol
( by default) in which case the PMS should re-send the Inquiry Symbol to try again. After
the PMS has received the Response Symbol, it can send its message. The response will either be a
simple Response Symbol or a complete response message (as is the case with checking how many
messages exist for a specific room). The sequence will stop here.
Every message begins with the Start Message Symbol ( by default) and ends with the End
Message Symbol ( by default). The TVM-2000 will not recognize a message and will send
the Negative Response Symbol if a message has more than Maximum Message Length (120 by
default) characters or it takes more than Interval (10 by default) seconds to send it. The TVM-2000
does not detect characters sent outside / wrapper, except Inquiry Symbol.
If BlockCheckCharacter is set to Yes (No by default) the TVM-2000 will expect and send after each
message  symbol a character, which is XOR of all the bytes in the message, beginning with
the first character after , up to and including the .
The TVM-2000 accepts any Filling style and any Filling Symbols (characters) in incoming message
parameter fields. Do not use 0 (zero) as a trailing filling character and do not use a (A), b (B), c (C),
d (D), e (E) characters as a filling symbol when in hexadecimal parameters.

check out commands, it will send the GRSE command to end the general reset
sequence.
GRSO
Begins a general reset sequence of the TVM-2000. This is similar to the GRSI, except that all of
the guest mailboxes are assumed to be checked out initially. The PMS will then continue to send
check in messages (or check out messages, which will basically be ignored) for all of the rooms
that are occupied. This can be used to re-sync the TVM-2000 with the PMS system. When the
PMS system has finished sending all of the check in commands, it will send the
GRSE command to end the general reset sequence.

n - any single digit representing the number of digits and the Filling Symbols to make an argument
according to the Filling style.
%C, %S and %L arguments are option arguments and must be followed by option list:
{“first_option”|”second_option”} or {“first_option”|”second_option”|”third_option”}. There is 2option list for %S and %L and 3-option list for %C. The first_option appears in a response message
when the argument equals 0, the second_option when 1 and the third_option when 2 (for %C only).
The option itself is a set of any characters.
To send and/or receive arguments in hexadecimal form use the $ symbol (Sample: %$3R).

Examples:
Response05=”Last Command %S{“Failed”|”Succeeded”}, Thank You”
The response for message 05 will look like:

only or Room 07b Has Some New Messages if room 123 has some new
messages.
1.

“” symbols are used to indicate the beginning and the end of message response format in the
PMS.INI file.
% “” | { } characters must be preceded by the % symbol in the message response format.
The default message response format is STD, which means that only the Response Symbol will be
sent.
