Unified Messaging with HiPath Xpressions
Overview
1 Unified Messaging with HiPath Xpressions
1.1 Overview
HiPath Xpressions is a mail server for unified messaging. HiPath Xpressions integrates all mail
services for voice mail, fax-mail, e-mail and the short message service (SMS). A non-service-
specific mailbox is set up for every user. Each user can be assigned a personal e-mail address
and a personal fax number for the receipt of mail in this mailbox. The user’s telephone number
and GSM number are valid numbers that are used to leave voice messages in the user’s mail-
box.
This mailbox can be accessed through a networked PC or through a telephone. The mailbox
can be maintained from any telephone or any PC with Internet access.
Every user in the office can be alerted to the arrival of new messages on the telephone by
means of the mailbox LED or an acoustic signal. Users en route can be alerted via SMS or pag-
er.
The HiPath Xpressions server can be used as a mailbox server or as a gateway to other mail
systems.
The various formats are automatically converted on the server, provided the HiPath Xpressions
server has been installed. This means that incoming messages of a particular service can be
forwarded to other services provided the data conversion process is feasible. The following data
conversions are permitted, for example:
●Text-to-speech (TTS)
●MS-Office documents (Word, Excel, PowerPoint) to fax
●Postscript to fax
●Adobe PDF to fax
●Fax to various graphic formats (JPG, TIF, BMP, DCX)
Separate service-specific addresses or numbers can be defined for every mailbox.

Differences Between E-Mail, Voice Mail and Fax Mail
1.2 Differences Between E-Mail, Voice Mail and Fax Mail
All messages stored in HiPath Xpressions are e-mail messages. Your e-mail client, therefore,
displays all messages as e-mail messages. All voice or fax messages are provided as attach-
ments to the e-mail. The purpose of the telephone access facility to your mailbox, however, is
to distribute all messages according to the service. E-mail messages that only comprise an au-
dio attachment are displayed as voice mails and messages that only comprise an image attach-
ment are displayed as fax messages. You can configure Outlook 97, Outlook 98, Outlook 2000
or Outlook 2002 (Outlook XP) so that voice and fax messages are specially flagged. You can
achieve this by installing special forms (see Section 2.6.2).

2 Mailbox Processing on the PC and the E-Mail
Service
This chapter describes the PC access to your HiPath Xpressions mailbox. Using your PC,
HiPath Xpressions provides you with a standard access interface to your voice messages, fax
messages and e-mails.
In principle, all e-mail clients that support IMAP4 access can be used.
HiPath Xpressions supports the older POP3 access mode. This access mode, however, is not
recommended since it does not include mailbox synchronization when connected to the Lotus
Domino or Microsoft Exchange server. PC access is described using the following e-mail
clients:
●HiPath Xpressions Communications Client (see the relevant user manual)
●Netscape Messenger (see Section 2.2)
●Microsoft Outlook Express (see Section 2.3)
●Microsoft Outlook in Internet Mail Operation (see Section 2.4)
●Microsoft Outlook in Internet Mail Operation in conjunction with
Microsoft Exchange Server (see Section 2.5)
●Lotus Notes (see Section 2.7)
●HiPath Xpressions WebClient (see Section 2.8)
●Client Assistant (see Section 2.9)
(access to fax and voice messages only, no e-mail access)
HiPath Xpressions extensions can be installed for Microsoft Outlook and Lotus Notes. Outlook
extensions comprise the following functions:
●initiation of a telephone call to a contact
●callback to the originator of a message
●initiation of a telephone call from the Exchange address book
●voice message playback on a telephone
●voice message playback on a PC sound system
●sending a short message (SMS) to a contact
●transfer of a short message (SMS) to the originator of a message
●transfer of a short message (SMS) to a mobile telephone from the address book
●sending a fax message to a contact

2.7.9 Sending Voice Mails Using Lotus Notes E-Mail Client
If Lotus Notes e-mail extensions are not installed, you can also send voice mails using the nor-
mal Lotus Notes e-mail client. Instead of entering an e-mail address you must enter a special
address format (XPR Lotus Notes address) in the To: address line.
2.7.9.1 Setting up an XPR Lotus Notes Address
An XPR Lotus Notes address sets up connection between the Lotus Notes e-mail system and
the HiPath Xpressions system. To send messages comprising different formats (for example,
fax, SMS) from Lotus Notes to the Xpressions system, Lotus Notes addresses Xpressions via
an external domain.
An Xpressions Lotus Notes address must therefore be set up so that it not only holds the user
information (user name or telephone number) but also names the message format used and
the external domain. The following address format is used:
<Benutzer>@<Nachrichtenformat>@<fremde Domäne>
Unique user information such as a telephone or fax number is entered in the "user" address
part. The following services are available in Xpressions for the "message format".
–FAXG3 (analog fax),
–FAXG4 (digital fax),
–FAXG3REV (fax on demand),
–SMS (short message service) and
–Voice (voice mails).
The name of the "external domain" varies according to installation. Contact your system admin-
istrator for the domain names.

2.8.4.5 Login via SSL (Secure Sockets Layer)
SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) is an encryption process designed to guarantee secure Internet
connection and data transfer. SSL ensures that the server and client verify each other’s identity
and can exchange encrypted data.
Throughout the connection, SSL encrypts and decrypts the data flow. This means that all infor-
mation is completely encrypted. This includes the Internet page (URL) requested by the client,
information submitted in forms (such as a credit card number), information confirming the au-
thenticity of HTTP access (user names and passwords) and all additional data exchanged by
the server and client.
You can apply for an SSl connection. This requires that your browser supports 128-bit SSL ci-
phers. Refer to the online help of your browser for more information. If the cipher strength is 56
bits or less you will need to update your browser software. Please contact your system admin-
istrator if any problems arise with the SSL. The procedure for using Microsoft Internet Explorer
and Netscape Navigator is described below.
SSL via Internet Explorer
1. Click the secure (SSL) link in the Access mode area. A dialog box opens.
2. Click the View Certificate button. A new window opens.
3. Select Install certificate → Next → Automatically... → Finish → OK → OK. The security
certificate will now be accepted.
4. Afterwards click Yes to accept the certificate. The window will close and you can log in as
described above.
SSL via Netscape Navigator
1. Click the secure (SSL) link in the Access mode area. A dialog box opens.
2. Click Next → Next → Accept without time limit → No warning → Next in the window
New Netsite certificate. The security certificate will now be accepted. The window will
close and you can log in as described above.

nize the message there. When e-mails are sent, the subject goes with the mes-
sage.

2.9.4.1 HiPath Xpressions Mailbox
Configure your HiPath Xpressions mailbox functions using the Client Assistant. To do this, the
server must be installed in the system and started. You need a user name and a password for
accessing the features and the configuration parameters. Please contact your system admin-
istrator for further information.
2.9.4.2 Screen Resolution
A screen resolution of at least 800 x 600 pixels is required.
2.9.4.3 Cache and Proxy Server: Netscape Communicator/Internet Explorer
Display problems may occur when using Client Assistant with a proxy server or activated cach-
ing. This means that old data which is no longer valid is displayed. For this reason, caching
should not be activated unless absolutely necessary. The browser should always load the most
recent document by bypassing proxy servers. This generates the best results.
Regardless, the cache settings must be modified as follows:
For the cache in “Netscape Communicator”, select
Edit → Preferences → Advanced → Cache → Document in cache is compared to docu-
ment on network → Every time
For the cache in “Internet Explorer”, select
Tools → Internet Options → General → Temporary Internet Files → Settings → Check
for newer versions of stored pages → Every visit to the page
2.9.4.4 Style sheets: Netscape Communicator
To operate the Client Assistant correctly using Netscape Navigator, activate style sheets using
Edit → Preferences → Advanced → Enable style sheets.
>JavaScript has to be activated or allowed; if necessary, configure your browser ac-
cordingly or contact your system administrator.

2.9.8.6 Mobility number
The Mobility number function allows you to define forwarding options that can be activated by
the caller via phone keys. Forwarding can be used for both internal and external destinations
or to trigger an action such as switching to another mailbox or granting callers call back access
(access to their mailbox).
Forwarding can be set up with different variants (actions) with each call forwarded being as-
signed its own phone key ranging from 0 to 9 as well as * and #. Your voice message should
inform the caller of the appropriate phone key. This must be recorded as a special greeting. If
the caller pushes the pre-defined phone key after listening to your greeting, the call is forwarded
using the specified action. You can also define various actions for multiple forwarding and make
them available to the caller.
Configured forwarding options and their destination numbers are displayed in the Number field.
The corresponding phone key is displayed under Reachable with key(s):. Existing forwarding
configurations can be quickly Enabled or Disabled.
The Forward Access menu page provides a definition of forwarding.

warded under Forward to this number.

2.9.11 Creating Distribution Lists
You can create and manage up to nine personal distribution lists quickly and conveniently with
the Client Assistant. A private distribution list is a combination of contacts. It is a straightforward
instrument for sending messages to a group of people. For example, if you frequently send
messages to the marketing team, it is best to create a distribution list with the name "marketing
team" which includes the names of all members of the marketing team. A message that is sent
to this distribution list goes to all the recipients named in the group. In addition, you can activate
a setting to allow all messages (e-mail, voice, fax or SMS messages) to be sent via the tele-
phone user interface to a distribution list (see Section 2.9.11.2, “Editing Distribution Lists”).
See Section 3.1.3 for information on how to send messages to a distribution list via telephone
when using PhoneMail and Section 3.3.2.8 when using the voice mail system (VMS).
Depending on the system configuration, you may also be able to edit public distribution lists.
The editing of private and public distribution lists is identical. The following is a general descrip-
tion of how to work with distribution lists.
If a personal greeting is recorded for a distribution list, the checkbox under Recorded name
available is activated.

3 Mailbox Processing on the Telephone and the
Voice Mail Service Voicemail
PhoneMail and/or VMS allows you to operate and manage your mailbox using the telephone.
Both systems function as both a telephone user interface (TUI) and the voice mail server im-
plemented in HiPath Xpressions.
PhoneMail and VMS allow you to retrieve and manage different types of messages (voice mes-
sages, fax messages, e-mails). You can also record voice messages for other users and sub-
sequently send these messages. In addition, you have the option of directly addressing the
mailbox of another subscriber to leave a message for this subscriber. You can forward calls re-
ceived at your extension to your mailbox. The callers will hear a personal greeting or can leave
a message in your mailbox. Various special functions such as the direct connection to the orig-
inator of an incoming message are also included in the scope of functions. VMS also allows
you to record and edit dictations and to broadcast messages.
All Xpressions users have their own mailbox on the Xpressions server. The mailbox can be ac-
cessed with PhoneMail or VMS using any telephone (a telephone that is connected to the tele-
phone system in your organization) or an external telephone (a telephone that sets up the con-
nection to the telephone system in your organization via a CO code).
The following sections describe the entire range of functions. The range of functions has been
restricted on your system if you are unable to access all services.
– You will find information about the operation of your mailbox using PhoneMail in
Section 3.2; a quick reference guide to the menus and key sequences is provided in
Section 3.2.10.
– You will find information about the operation of your mailbox using VMS in Section 3.3;
a quick reference guide to the menus and key sequences is provided in Section 3.3.5.
3.1 General
Please note the following information when using the Hicom 300/HiPath 4000 and HiPath
Xpressions telephone systems in conjunction with the VMS voice mail system:
–The Hicom 300 and HiPath 4000 communication systems provide a feature for sup-
pressing the display of your telephone number. You can configure this feature for all
calls or for the next call only. If the display suppression feature is activated, all called
users (also applies to internal calls) will be notified on the display that the caller is un-
known.
– Using the "Manual PIN" feature provided in Hicom 300 and HiPath 4000 saves you
from the otherwise obligatory task of entering a PIN for identifying yourself when you
dial your own mailbox.

To make optimum use of your mailbox, set the call forwarding (CF) or call forwarding no reply
(CFNR) feature for forwarding calls from your extension to your HiPath Xpressions mailbox.
Please refer to the operating instructions for your telephone or PABX for information on how to

3.1.3 Distribution lists
You normally enter the recipient’s telephone number when you are sending messages. Alter-
natively, you can enter a distribution list number that you have created, or you can use a public
distribution list that has been created by the system administrator. A distribution list contains
users or more distribution lists. You can manage your distribution lists using the telephone and
using the Web-based configuration interface (see Section 2.9.11, “Creating Distribution Lists”)
and assign them a distribution list number. Otherwise, the distribution lists are set up for you by
the system administrator.

3.1.4 Referral Extension
You can define a referral extension. Callers who are forwarded to your mailbox can connect to
this PhoneMail referral extension directly or can be automatically re-directed to this referral ex-
tension. This depends on how you have set the answering options in your mailbox. You can
manage your referral extension options yourself if the Web-based configuration interface is in-
stalled (see Section 2.9.8.3, “Configuring a Referral Extension”). This feature only applies to
the voice service.
3.1.5 Default Printer
Your system administrator can configure any network printer for use in Xpressions. You can de-
fine one of the printers in the list of printers available in Xpressions as the default printer. You
can access this printer through the telephone. You can assign the printer yourself using the
Web-based configuration interface (Section 2.9.15, “Default Output Devices”) or have the sys-
tem administrator perform this task.
3.1.6 Default Fax Device
You can define any fax address as your default fax device. This will make it easier to output e-
mail and faxes when you access your mailbox through the telephone. You can define the fax
device yourself using the Web-based configuration interface (Section 2.9.15, “Default Output
Devices”) or have the system administrator perform this task.
3.1.7 Memory Restrictions
If the memory in use is being monitored, you will be informed when accessing your mailbox if
the limit has been reached. If the memory used by your mailbox has exceeded 100% of the val-
ue set by the system administrator, it is no longer possible to send (forward or answer) mes-
sages in your own mailbox. If you are registered to Hicom, this also applies to other voice mail
service access options.
In this situation, you should delete messages which are no longer needed or contact the system
administrator. Regardless of the memory required by your mailbox, other callers can always
leave messages for you.

3.1.8 Additional Features in VMS
3.1.8.1 Direct Callback Connection with the Originator of a Message
You can initiate an immediate callback by dialing 07 if the originator’s telephone number was
transferred when a message was delivered (which is the case for internal callers unless the call
number display has been suppressed, and depends on the caller’s settings for external callers).
The message header shows whether or not this option is available. If the originator’s telephone
number was transferred, the message header will contain this number and it will also be an-
nounced. You must have the relevant privilege to initiate callbacks to external users.
3.1.8.2 Broadcast Call / Broadcast Message
The Broadcast Call and Broadcast Message features allow you to send voice messages to a
particular recipient group. These features allow you to send the message to a significantly larg-
er group of recipients than with the "Send to distribution list" feature. In a broadcast call, the
recipients are called directly and do not receive a message in their mailbox. In a broadcast mes-
sage, all recipients receive a message in their mailbox. The subscribers to be reached using
these features are grouped into broadcast call and broadcast message distribution lists, which
can also be selected using distribution list numbers. Special privileges are required to initiate a
broadcast call or broadcast message.
Broadcast call and broadcast message distribution lists are provided by the system administra-
tor.
3.1.8.3 Private and Public Distribution Lists
You normally enter the recipient’s telephone number when you are sending messages. Alter-
natively you can enter a distribution list number. Every distribution list contains a particular
group of recipients who are combined to form an address list. A message can, therefore, be
sent very quickly to this group. Every distribution list (address list) contains users or more dis-
tribution lists. You can create distribution lists of this kind yourself or you can access public dis-
tribution lists, which have been set up by the system administrator. When defining private dis-
tribution lists, please make sure that the associated code number is not part of the DID number
range of your organization. This will prevent the system from displaying an error message in-
forming you that this number has already been assigned to a user. Otherwise the code number
is freely definable. In the event that the code number that you have assigned for your private
distribution list already exists as a code number for a public distribution list, the system will au-
tomatically select your private distribution list when you enter this code number. It is possible to
link distribution lists by entering a number of distribution list numbers in succession. The mes-
sage will then be sent to a number of distribution lists. Distribution lists can also be combined
with single numbers.
Section 2.9.11, “Creating Distribution Lists” provides a detailed description of how to edit pri-
vate distribution lists.

Mailbox Processing on the Telephone and the Voice Mail Service Voicemail
General
3.1.9 User Prompts
The prompts in the mailbox are output in the form of spoken announcements. You can listen to
these announcements through your telephone handset. If you are using a telephone from the
optiset series with an alphanumeric display in conjunction with a PABX of the Hicom 300 or Hi-
Path 4000 type, the user prompts will also be output visually on this display.
An an alternative to entering telephone numbers, the system generally allows you to enter
names by selecting the letters that are assigned to the number keys on the telephone. This
functions in a similar way to the entry of short messages using the keypad on your mobile
phone.
These announcements prompt you, for example, to enter certain digit keys to select a function
or to enter a number or a password.
All inputs for using the mailbox can also be performed with the keypad buttons, i.e. the 0 to 9
digit keys, the *(star) key and the #(hash) key.
3.1.9.1 Repeating System Announcements
The announcement is repeated after a few seconds if you do not push any key when prompted
to do so. To hear a prompt again, simply wait until it is repeated. This is useful, for example, if
you did not hear the announcement properly. If an announcement is played a second time, you
will automatically be advised on how to find Help information (on using PhoneMail).
If you fail to push any key after the announcement has been played a second time and the
prompt has been repeated, the system will cancel the function after five seconds.
3.1.9.2 Requesting Help (PhoneMail)
You can call up Help information by pushing the 0 key when you are prompted to select a
menu item. Additional help announcements describe the current selection options in the menu.
Help is unavailable if you are prompted to enter a telephone number or a password or if the 0
key is assigned a different meaning.
3.1.9.3 Incorrect Entries
The system plays the relevant announcement if you enter an invalid digit, for example, when
you are selecting a menu item. You are subsequently prompted to repeat the entry. The call is
disconnected after a certain number of incorrect entries. The number of incorrect entries fol-
lowing which the call is disconnected depends on the system settings and can be changed by
the system administrator.

3.2.1 Access Options
Xpressions users have the following access options:
●You can dial your own mailbox (direct access)
Dial the service access number for direct access and log onto the server by entering your
telephone number and password. You now have access to all messages stored in your
mailbox and to your mailbox settings. You can record messages for other users and sub-
sequently send these messages.
Please refer to Section 3.2.2, “Using your own Mailbox (Direct Access)” for more informa-
tion about direct access mode.
●You can dial an external mailbox (guest access)
Dial the service access number for guest access and dial the extension number of the re-
quired user. You can leave a message in the user’s mailbox or be transferred to a referral
extension. This depends on how the user has set his/her answering options.
Please refer to Section 3.2.6, “Dialing an External Mailbox (Guest Access or Universal Ac-
cess)” for more information about guest access mode. This access option is not available
if the voice service is deactivated.
●You can dial an external mailbox and access your own mailbox (universal access)
This is the same as guest access with the additional option of being able to access your
own mailbox.
●You can re-direct callers who dial your extension to your mailbox (forward access).
Calls received at your extension are then forwarded to your mailbox. Callers can leave a
message for you in your mailbox. You can, therefore, use the mailbox as an answering ma-
chine. Please refer to Appendix , "Call Forwarding (Forward Access)" for more information
about forward access mode. This access option is not available if the voice service is de-
activated.
●You can transfer callers to your mailbox (transfer access)
If you would like to give the caller the option of leaving a message for someone else or if
the caller is unable to enter a user’s extension number or if this extension number is to re-
main hidden from the caller, you can connect the caller directly to the mailbox by dialing the
transfer access number. This option is of particular interest if you are responsible for
switching calls.
●You can access your mailbox using the mailbox key on the telephone (Callback access)
if your mailbox contains new messages.

Callers will always hear this greeting when your extension is busy. For example, you
can set a greeting to inform the caller that the extension is currently busy.
– Personal greeting for external and internal callers:
You can define one of your personal greetings for internal calls and one for external
calls. You may want to have a more formal greeting for external callers. You can inform
internal callers of your current whereabouts, for example.
You can specify for each of these greetings whether callers who are re-directed to your
mailbox are permitted to leave a message or not. Preventing callers from leaving messag-
es is practical, for example, if you are non-contactable for a long period of time. In this sit-
uation, you should provide a message to alert callers to this fact.
●Forwarding calls to your personal PhoneMail referral extension
You can set your personal PhoneMail referral extension.
If you have set Greeting only as the answering mode, the caller will be re-directed to your
referral extension either automatically or by pushing a key, provided that the caller remains
on the line after the greeting has been played. This number is also used for the settings in
the programmable caller menu of the forward access service.
●Name
You can record your name in the same way as a greeting. Other users will hear your name
when they send messages to you or receive messages from you.
●Mobility
You can enter a number here to allow the caller to reach your mobile phone. Like the Pho-
neMail referral extension number, this setting can also be used in the forward access
menu.
●Mailbox deputy
In the event of your absence, you can define an Xpressions user who will receive a copy
of all messages that arrive in your mailbox and are addressed to you.
●Call forwarding of your telephone
You can use any telephone to control the call forwarding of calls to your extension, provided
the system administrator has enabled this feature. You can also configure call forwarding
to your mailbox in a number of simple steps.

●Password
You can change the password required for telephone access to your mailbox at any time.
●Set notifications
You can set the system to send a short message (SMS message) to your mobile phone
when new mail arrives in your mailbox. You can also set Xpressions to try to reach you at
a number of telephones or to reach you via a pager if you are using one.
●Setting
If you are working in an integrated Lotus Notes or MS Exchange environment or if the
Xpressions server is also configured as an e-mail system (please consult your system ad-
ministrator in this regard), you can specify whether messages that are stored in your
"Xpressions" folder can be processed on the telephone prior to Inbox messages. If this fold-
er does not already exist, it is automatically created when you activate the system.
You can also define the order in which the messages in your Inbox should be announced,
and set the message playback volume to different volume levels.
You can choose to have the messages in your Inbox played back without any user inter-
vention. However, you can interrupt the message playback at any time by pushing a key.

been enabled in the system. This enables callers to send faxes as well as voice messages
to your mailbox if a fax access number is not available or cannot be used for your system,
and provided that voice mails and faxes are to be forwarded to the same forwarding desti-
nation. You must have configured the relevant forwarding settings or you must provide your
fax partners with an appropriate direct address.

You can select another language for the user prompts. This also applies to all other access
options if you make calls from your extension or any other extension, as soon as you have
dialed your own mailbox.

You can also just replace the handset after you have left the message. The message will always
be sent.
3.2.7 Call Forwarding (Forward Access)
You can set your telephone to re-direct calls to your mailbox. Use the call forwarding feature for
this purpose (a distinction is made in Hicom 300 between variable and fixed call forwarding) or
set this in the answering options menu (see Section 3.2.4.1, “Defining the call forwarding set-
tings”). The way in which you set up the call forwarding feature on the telephone depends on
the telephone system and type of telephone that you are using. Please refer to the user manual
and operating instructions for your PABX and telephone respectively for more detailed informa-
tion.
You must use the service access number of the mailbox for forward access as the call forward-
ing destination number. Callers who dial your extension number will be re-routed to the mailbox.
Callers can leave a message in your mailbox or can be transferred to your PhoneMail referral
extension. This depends on how you have set your answering options (see Section 3.2.4.1,
“Changing Answering Options”) or which actions you have defined in the Web-based configu-
ration interface. You can also have fax calls received at your extension (see Section 3.2.4.2,
“Changing Mailbox Options”). These messages are also saved in your mailbox.
You have the same options as those available with guest access if you dial an extension num-
ber and the user has configured call forwarding on his/her telephone. If the user allows you to
leave messages, you can do so after the beep.
Control and correction options are available during the recording of the message (see Section
3.2.3.4, “During the recording process”). You will hear a beep 10 seconds before the recording
process is concluded.
Any pauses at the start or end of the recorded voice message are detected by the system and
deleted. The following additional options are available during the recording process:
You can also just replace the handset after you have left the message. The message will always
be sent.
Before recording a message on your own mailbox, you have the following options:
*Pause recording, control functions during the recording process:
see Section 3.2.3.4, “During the recording process”.
>Tip:
If you have forwarded your own telephone to your mailbox, you can only access the
main menu of your mailbox (see Section 3.2.3, “Options in the Main Menu”) after di-
aling your number (before recording a message) by entering "Pound" followed by
your telephone password.

Hicom 150/150 E/150 H systems currently support this function.
●Your telephone must be equipped with a mailbox key. Examples of Hicom telephones that
are equipped with a mailbox key include Set 500, Set 700 or optiset E memory and
optiset E advance.
●The mailbox function must be linked to the mailbox. Your system administrator must have
configured this.
●At least one new message must be located in your mailbox.
You can only use the callback access service from your own extension or your own mobile
phone provided that the latter is known to the server.

3.2.9 Using your Mailbox for your Mobile Telephone
You can also use your mailbox as a mailbox for your mobile phone. The advantage of this is
that all messages are stored in one single mailbox, regardless of whether these messages
were addressed to your telephone at your workstation or to your mobile telephone.
Please note the following differences in comparison to the conventional use of the mailbox.
3.2.9.1 Call Forwarding for Mobile Phones
You can set your mobile phone to re-direct calls to your mailbox. To do this, use the call for-
warding function (you can normally choose between automatic call forwarding and conditional
call forwarding on mobile phones, for example, if your extension is busy or cannot be reached).
Please consult your mobile phone operating instructions for information on how to set up the
call forwarding function.
You must use the CO number of the Xpressions server followed by the extension number of
your telephone at your workstation as the call forwarding destination number. Please consult
your system administrator if you do not know the CO number of the Xpressions server.
Callers who dial your mobile number will be re-routed to the mailbox. Callers can leave a mes-
sage in your mailbox or can be transferred to your PhoneMail referral extension. This depends

The entire range of functions is described below. The range of functions has been restricted on
your system if you are unable to access all services.
An explanation of the icons used can be found in Section 3.1.2. Please read the introductory
information in Section 3.1 to find out about the basic functions of your voice mail system.
3.3.1 Access Options
HiPath Xpressions users have the following access options:
●You can dial your own mailbox (direct access, "Own mailbox" code).
Dial the service access number for direct access and log onto the server by entering your
PIN and a password, if one is required. You now have access to all messages stored in
your mailbox and to your mailbox settings. You can record messages for other users and
subsequently send these messages.
You will find more information about direct access mode under Appendix , “Using your own
Mailbox (Direct Access, "Own Mailbox Code")”
●You can dial an external mailbox (guest access and universal access, "External mail-
box" code).
Dial the service access number of the mailbox for guest access or universal access and
dial the extension number of the required user. You can leave a message in the user’s mail-
box or be transferred to a referral extension. This depends on how the user has set his/her
answering options.
You will find more information about guest access or universal access mode under Section
3.3.3, “Dialing an External Mailbox (Guest Access, Universal Access, "External Mailbox"
code)”.
●You can re-direct calls received at your extension to your mailbox (CF, forward access).
Calls received at your extension are then forwarded to your mailbox. Callers can leave a
message for you in your mailbox. In this way you can use the mailbox as an answering ma-
chine.
Please refer to Section 3.3.4, “Call Forwarding (CF, Forward Access)” for more information
about forward access mode.
●You can check your mailbox for new messages using the mailbox key on the telephone
(callback access). The same functions that are provided with the direct access option are
available here.
●You can also use a notification feature (User outcall).

addition to illuminating the mailbox LED. See Section 3.3.2.11, “Configure notification fea-
ture”.
System announcements guide the user through the selection options (menus) when the
user opens his or her own mailbox or an external mailbox. The announcements prompt you
to make the relevant entries. Please see Section 3.1.9, “User Prompts” for the principles of
user prompts.
You will find a graphic overview of all menu functions in Section 3.3.5, “A Quick Reference
Guide to the Menus and Key Sequences”.
3.3.2 Using your own Mailbox (Direct Access, "Own Mailbox Code")
3.3.2.1 Overview
You will need a service access number, your PIN and a password, if one is required, to access
your mailbox. If you are using your mailbox for the first time and a password entry prompt is
configured, you will either enter the default password that you have been assigned or you will
be prompted to define a new password if this option has been configured in the system. To pro-
tect your data, you should immediately change the default password that you have been as-
signed (see Section 3.3.2.11, “Define and change the password”). The system may also be
configured to prompt you to record a personal name greeting when you access the mailbox for
the first time if a name greeting has not already been recorded. To do this, please use the stan-
dard edit options (see Section 3.3.2.3, “Default Edit Options”) and follow the recorded voice
prompts.
Once you have entered the service access number, your PIN and a password, if one is re-
quired, you have unlimited access to your mailbox:
●edit new or old messages:
– play back messages,
– forward messages with/without comments,
– delete messages,
– set up a direct connection to the originator of a message,
– reply to messages.
●send messages
●change your personal settings, which includes
– your personal password for telephone access,
– the personal greetings (nine greetings in total),

Enable or disable call forwarding
Setting a greeting for call forwarding (CF):
Setting a greeting for call forwarding allows you to define what happens to calls that are re-di-
rected to your mailbox. If you have programmed a fixed call forwarding destination (CF), calls
will be re-directed to your mailbox if your extension is busy, you do not answer the call or if you
enable call forwarding to your mailbox.
●Accept messages or info greeting feature
You can use this feature to specify whether callers who are re-directed to your mailbox can
leave a message or not. Preventing callers from leaving messages is practical, for exam-
ple, if you are non-contactable for a long period of time. In this situation, you should provide
a message to alert callers to this fact.
●Greetings
Callers who are diverted to your mailbox hear a greeting (a generic greeting is set by de-
fault). The following types of greetings can be distinguished:
– Personal greetings:
You can record nine different personal greetings, enabling you to select an appropriate
greeting for any particular situation from this range of greetings.
– Generic greetings:

The system provides up to nine generic greetings for you to select from. These generic
greetings are created by the system administrator.
●Setting different greetings:
You can also specify whether the selected greeting should be played for all calls (alterna-
tive case) or whether different greetings should be played for internal calls, external calls,
calls made to a busy extension or calls made outside of business hours. You may want to
have a more formal greeting for external callers. You can inform internal callers of your cur-
rent whereabouts, for example. You may also want to inform callers that your extension is
busy and that they should try again later.

3.3.3 Dialing an External Mailbox (Guest Access, Universal Access,
"External Mailbox" code)
You can dial the mailbox of another user directly, regardless of whether the user is currently
contactable. You can leave a voice message for the user in the external mailbox, provided the
user has enabled the option to leave messages.
To dial the mailbox of another user:
3.3.3.1 Leaving a Message for Mailbox Owners
You can leave a message after the beep if the user whose mailbox you have dialed with guest
access or universal access has enabled the option to leave a message. Otherwise the connec-
tion is interrupted after the greeting has been played.
The standard control and correction options are available during the recording process (see
Section 3.3.2.3, “Default Edit Options”). During the recording process, you will hear a warning
advising you that the available recording time has almost come to an end. The amount of time
available for recording a message and the point at which the warning is output depends on how
the system settings have been defined. Any pauses at the start or end of the recorded voice
message are detected by the system and deleted.
You can just replace the handset after you have recorded the message. The message will al-
ways be sent. Entering the Escape sequence in universal access mode switches the mailbox
to your own mailbox. This option is not available in guest access mode.
3.3.3.2 Additional Options in Guest Access or Universal Access Mode
If the delay between dialing the mailbox and making the first entry is sufficiently long to assume
that the user does not understand the user prompts, the system prompts the user to change
the language of the user prompts. The following selection options are available in this regard:
Enter the service access number for the guest access or universal
access option:
Please consult your system administrator if you do not know the access
numbers.
*Enter the extension number of the relevant user:
Enter the relevant number and push the star key to conclude the entry.
#If the entry was incorrect: delete the number entered:
Push the pound key. You can resume the process of entering the desti-
nation number immediately afterwards.
0*Switch to own mailbox:
Push 0 and then push the star key.

3.3.4 Call Forwarding (CF, Forward Access)
You can set your telephone to re-direct calls to your mailbox. To do this, use the feature call
forwarding (a distinction is made in Hicom 300 between variable and fixed call forwarding).
The way in which you set up the call forwarding (CF) feature depends on the telephone system
and type of telephone that you are using. Please consult the operating instructions of your tele-
phone for more detailed information.
You must use the service access number of the mailbox for forward access as the call forward-
ing destination number. Callers who dial your extension number will be re-routed to the mailbox.
Callers can leave a message in your mailbox or can be transferred to your referral extension.
This depends on how you have set your answering options (see Section 3.3.2.11, “Special
Functions”). The destination number can be identical to the number for direct access in Hicom
PABXs.
You have the same options as those available with guest access or universal access if you dial
an extension number and the user has configured call forwarding on his/her telephone. If the
user allows you to leave messages, you can do so after the beep. The standard control and
correction options are available during the recording of the message (see Section 3.3.2.3). Dur-
ing the recording process, you will hear a warning advising you that the available recording time
has almost come to an end. The amount of time available for recording a message and the point
at which the warning is output depends on how the system settings have been defined.
You can also just replace the handset after you have left the message. The message will always
be sent.
You can select function 07 to be transferred to a predefined referral extension if the owner of
the mailbox that you reached has enabled this option on his or her telephone.

Fax Mail Service
Overview
4 Fax Mail Service
4.1 Overview
The following options are available to fax-mail users in HiPath Xpressions, depending on how
the system is configured.
●You can send and receive fax messages on your workstation using the default e-mail client.
An incoming fax is displayed as an attached graphics file (TIF or JPEG file) in an e-mail.
●You can retrieve and output fax messages on the telephone. Fax messages can be output
using
a) standard fax device,
b) standard printer,
c) any fax machine.
4.1.1 Requirements for Sending a Fax
The Xpressions fax function can be used from every PC application that permits data to be di-
rectly sent to an e-mail recipient. This chapter describes how to use Xpressions to send files
from Microsoft Windows Explorer in the form of a fax message.
4.1.2 Requirements for Receiving a Fax
Please read Section , "Mailbox Processing on the PC and the E-Mail Service" on page 2-1 for
information on receiving a fax with an e-mail client.
To retrieve and output fax messages on the phone, see Section 3.2.3.1, "Listening to/Retrieving
Messages" on page 3-11 .
4.1.3 Fax Cover
Your system administrator can provide you with various cover pages that are sent as the first
page of the fax. Different variable components such as the originator, recipient or subject line
can be added automatically to the cover page. You can use the Client Assistant (see
Section 2.9.12, “Fax Forms”) to define the cover page that is to precede your fax pages. Alter-
natively you can consult your system administrator in this regard.
This function only works if your Internet e-mail address in your mail client corresponds to the
STMP address of your Xpressions mailbox.
Fax Mail Service
A31003-S2330-B690-2-7619, January 2003
4-2 HiPath Xpressions V3.0, User Manual
Overview
4.1.4 Fax Logo
Your system administrator can provide you with various templates that appear on every page
of a fax message. Like the cover page, different variable components can be added to the tem-
plate. You can use the Client Assistant (see Section 2.9.12, “Fax Forms”) to define the template
that is to be used in your faxes. Alternatively you can consult your system administrator in this
regard.
The fax cover page and template can be combined.
This function only works if your Internet e-mail address in your mail client corresponds to the
STMP address of your Xpressions mailbox and if the conversion of text to fax format is per-
formed on the server.
4.1.5 Fax Display
Incoming faxes are saved in Xpressions in an internal fax format. This fax format can also be
displayed by the HiPath Xpressions client. Incoming faxes must be converted to a suitable for-
mat, however, if these faxes are to be displayed by a different mail client. Your system admin-
istrator configures one of the graphics formats listed below as the default conversion format on
your system. This format is globally valid. An additional viewer software may be required if the
mail client used cannot display this graphics format. You can have the system administrator set
a different graphics format specially for your mailbox to facilitate access via IMAP4 or POP3.
You should always try to convert all mailbox data to the same graphics format since this places
the least demands on the system.
The conversion process supports the following graphics formats:
BMP Windows bitmap
BMP_COL Windows bitmap with trilinear grayscale interpolation
DCX Multi-page PCX format (standard Microsoft fax format)
JPG JPEG format with 9 grayscales
TIF One-page compressed TIF fax format
TIF_BMP Uncompressed TIF bitmap format
TG3 Multi-page compressed TIF fax format

Sending Fax Messages
4.2 Sending Fax Messages
To send fax messages, proceed in exactly the same way as for sending an e-mail. The recipient
address selected must be an STMP address in Xpressions that Xpressions can interpret as a
fax address and can therefore trigger the fax send action. Please remember that not all file for-
mats can be used to create a fax.
4.2.1 Sending a Sample Fax Message from MS Windows Explorer
Start the Explorer and select a file that you would like to send as a fax.
To do this, right-click the required file. A context menu is displayed. Select the Send to com-
mand and then select the Mail Recipient command in the submenu. A different e-mail program
can be started, depending on the links set. MS Outlook is used in this example. Proceed in the
same way for all other mail programs.
You can also explicitly open the mail program, enter your text in the program and send the text
as a fax.

Sending Fax Messages
A window for creating a new message opens. The selected file is automatically inserted as an
attachment. You must now enter the fax recipient in the form of an e-mail address:
In the To: address field enter the fax recipient’s address.
Please observe the following rules when entering the address:
– Enter the prefix FAXG3/ at the start of the address.
– Now enter the user’s number in the form <internal fax number> or <international fax number>
by entering the <country code><area code><fax number> without using special characters
such as blanks, plus signs or hyphens, and not in the form that you would use when dialing the
number yourself.
– Enter the @ character followed by the domain address of your Xpressions server. The do-
main address is available from your system administrator.
For example, FAXG3/37877@myserver.de or FAXG3/498972237877@myserver.de
Xpressions recognizes from this address that the message is to be routed to the recipient as a
fax.
To send the message, click the Send button or open the File menu and select one of the send
commands.
The subject line is only sent with the fax if you have selected the corresponding cover page.
However, the subject line continues to be used as a sort criterion in your Sent Items box.

Fax Mail Service
Sending Fax Messages
A fax cover page and/or fax logo set for your mailbox will only be sent with the fax if the e-mail
address you are using in the selected mail program corresponds to your Xpressions Internet
address.
4.2.2 Sending a Fax at Favorable Rates
All e-mail clients that allow the priority of send jobs to be set also allow fax jobs with a preset
time delay to be created, which in turn reduces charges incurred. These clients include,
for example, Outlook, Outlook Express, Exchange or Netscape Messenger. Just set the priority
to Low or Very Low, and the fax will only be sent during the night. The exact send times are
defined by your system administrator.
4.2.3 Using Fax on Demand Services
You can use fax on demand services in all e-mail clients. Send a blank e-mail to FAXG3REV/
<fax on demand number>@<myserver.domain>. This fax on demand number must be entered
in international format. Xpressions retrieves the required fax pages for you and places them in
your mailbox.

Short Message Service (SMS) for GSM
Overview
5 Short Message Service (SMS) for GSM
The SMS for GSM module must be installed on the Xpressions server to allow the functions
described below to be used. Please consult your system administrator if you have any queries.
5.1 Overview
The short message service (SMS) for GSM (global system for mobile communications) enables
you to use a standard mail program to send short messages to GSM network users, i.e. to mo-
bile phone users in the supported mobile network (for example, D1 and D2).
This service also allows SMS scenarios to be implemented, for example gathering Internet in-
formation and sending it as a short message.
5.1.1 Application Options
To use SMS for GSM, you can select any e-mail client that provides the facility to send e-mails
via STMP. This includes programs such as Eudora or the integrated e-mail clients in WWW
browsers such as Netscape Messenger and Microsoft Outlook Express. You can also use SMS
with MS Exchange (either in the way described here or using an installed Xpressions Exchange
connector as described in Section 2.5.3.1, “Sending Messages using SMS as an Example”).
5.1.2 SMS Features for GSM
●Messages that are sent with SMS for GSM are not sent via the usual fixed network and
SMS provider. SMS for GSM therefore reduces costs.
●Two GSM 900 networks are supported in each country. These are D1 (Telekom) and D2
(Vodafone) in Germany and A1 and A max in Austria.
●An SMS message may be up to 160 characters long. Your system administrator can con-
figure the way in which your system handles messages that exceed this length:
a) the message is not sent,
b) only the first 160 characters are sent,
c) only the first line is sent,
d) all lines up to the first blank line are sent,
e) combination of b) and c)
f) combination of b) and d)
●Approximately 300 messages can be sent per hour for every connected transmitter.
●Special characters are permitted in the message. Some special characters may be trans-
ferred incorrectly, depending on the service center selected.

5-2 HiPath Xpressions V3.0, User Manual
Sending Short Messages to GSM Users
●The network operators normally save SMS messages for up 48 hours if the mobile phone
user cannot be reached.
5.2 Sending Short Messages to GSM Users
This section describes how to use your mail software to send SMS messages to mobile phone
users in the supported mobile network.
The procedures are described using the Netscape Messenger mail client integrated in
Netscape Communicator 4.x as an example. The procedure is identical if you want to use a dif-
ferent e-mail client.
The Internet e-mail software used must support the STMP standard e-mail protocol (for outgo-
ing e-mails) if you want to use it to send SMS messages to mobile users in the supported mo-
bile networks.
>Notes:
There is no guarantee that an SMS message will reach the recipient. The service
centers may send a positive confirmation signal, even if the recipient number does
not exist.
Reply messages from mobile phone users are not supported in this version of SMS
for GSM.

Short Message Service (SMS) for GSM
Sending Short Messages to GSM Users
Proceed as follows to send an SMS message using Netscape 4.x:
1. Open the Netscape Messenger mail client and select the command for creating a new
message.
2. In the To: address field enter the recipient’s address.
Please observe the following rules when entering the address:
– Enter the prefix SMS/
at the beginning of the address– Now enter the telephone number of the mobile phone
user in the full international format. In the example above, +43 stands for Austria, 664 is
the area code for the A1 network and 7654321 is the user’s number. (The + sign can be
omitted).
– Enter the @ character followed by the domain address of your Xpressions server.
3. Leave the Subject: input line blank or enter a message heading for your own archives (en-
tries in this line are ignored when the message is sent).
4. Enter the short message in the designated text input area. The message can be up to 160
characters long. The system administrator defines the procedures for sending longer mes-
sages (see Section 5.1.2, “SMS Features for GSM”). Special characters are permitted.
Avoid rich text formats (fonts, font sizes, font colors, etc.). Formats of this kind are lost when

the message is sent. If you use an auto signature on e-mails, note that the signature be-
longs with the message text. You are recommended to delete auto signatures from SMS
messages.
5. Send the message or place it in the outbox to be subsequently sent.
Adding an SMS address to the Netscape address book
If you want to send SMS messages to one particular user on a frequent basis, it is more con-
venient to add the address to the Netscape address book.
Proceed as follows to add an SMS message recipient to the address book:
1. Open the Netscape address book and select the command for creating a new entry. The
New Card dialog illustrated above appears.
2. Select the Name tab as illustrated above.

Tips for Everyday Use
3. Enter the recipient’s address in the E-Mail Address box.
Please observe the following rules when entering the address:
– Enter the prefix SMS/
at the beginning of the address– Now enter the telephone number of the mobile phone
user in the full international format. In the example above, +43 stands for Austria, 664 is

You can enter other recipient data in the normal way in the tabs in the New Card dialog box.
You can now click the To : button and select the entry from the address book when creating a
new message. The names entered in the First Name and Last Name boxes in the Netscape
address book entry are copied to the address line.
5.3 Tips for Everyday Use
5.3.1 Sending a Callback Number
You can enter the number under which you can be reached in a separate line in the SMS mes-
sage. Example:
Hello Martin, Stephen here. Please call me at the following number:
089722123456
A number is automatically selected when you scroll a message in the Siemens S4, S6 and S10
mobile phones. This number can be dialed directly when you push the talk key.
5.3.2 Sending SMS Messages from Intranet Pages
If you are working in an intranet environment and are providing WWW pages for other users,
you can create hyperlinks in these pages which will allow users to send SMS messages directly
to mobile phone users in the supported networks. A sample HTML link is provided below:
<a href=“mailto:SMS/436647654321@myserver.domain“>
SMS to Martins mobile phone</a>
The address that follows mailto: is the same as the address that is entered directly in an In-
ternet e-mail program (see Section 5.2, “Sending Short Messages to GSM Users”).
The address can also be used in WWW server applications such as CGI Scripts. Siemens also
provides the facility, if requested, to send an SMS message directly from an individually created
WWW page. Please consult your Siemens contact partner in this regard.
