Introduction
Installing The VME 4000 is quick and easy. Just mount it on a wall next to the
PBX and connect it to the SLT interfaces and to the main power supply with an
external power adapter.
The VME 4000 is ready for use immediately after the system administrator
completes a short procedure that includes setting up integration parameters,
mailboxes, notification type, system schedules and opening greetings. Mailbox
owners can then set up their own personal mailbox parameters.
1.1 Features and Services
The VME 4000 is a powerful voice mail system at an affordable price. It contains
most of the useful features and services provided by PC-based systems but at a
lower cost. The VME 4000’s features can be divided into three groups:
x System Administration

1.1.1 System Features
x Configuration
The VME 4000 is available with two ports and 10 hours of recording time. The
system administrator can upgrade the VME 4000 by adding a two port
expansion card to the motherboard to provide four ports
x Programming
The system administrator can program the VME 4000 by:
Touch-tone telephone using DTMF tones
Computer using the Voice Mail Utility Program (VUP). The installer
should save the files containing the parameters set in each installation.
x Integration with your PBX
The system administrator can integrate the VME 4000 with the PBX through:
In-Band DTMF Protocol integration using DTMF strings. This type of
integration is achieved by setting up the communication parameters on the
PBX and the VME 4000, including answering a call, transfer, recall from
busy, recall from no answer, the notification parameters and more.
1-2 VME 4000 Installation and Programming Manual
Introduction
Out-band integration through a serial port (RS-232) applying the PBX
parameters to the VME 4000. This type of integration must be developed
separately for each type of PBX.
x Loop Current Disconnection
Some PBXs have the capability, which enables them to notify the VME 4000
through the line interface when a call is terminated. When this situation is
detected by the Voice mail, the line is disconnected and the VME 4000 is then
ready to receive another call.
x Message Notification
The VME 4000 automatically notifies the mailbox owner of new messages in
different ways according to the system configuration. Notification may be local
(to a PBX extension) or remote (to a telephone at a remote location, a cellular
telephone or a pager).
x Security Passwords
The VME 4000 supports three types of passwords, each with four digits:
System Administrator. Gives access to all data stored in the VME 4000.
Operator. Gives access to the operating modes of the system. The available
operating modes are: Day, Night, Holiday and Break.
Mailbox. Gives access to individual mailboxes. Mailbox owners can
change the password at any time.
x Line Monitor
The VME 4000 sends all incoming DTMF codes to the VUP from all the
ports, simultaneously through the RS-232 cable. The line monitor is a
powerful tool to simplify the integration and installation of the VME 4000
with the PBX.
1.1.2 Automated Attendant Features
The VME 4000’s automated attendant answers incoming calls and through a series
of recorded menus and telephone directories, helps the callers reach the desired
extensions.
x Opening Greeting
The VME 4000 plays a pre-recorded greeting to callers. The opening greeting
usually includes the organization’s name, how to reach an extension,

Introduction
department or operator, how to switch languages, how to leave a message and
to access a directory.
During the greeting, callers can access a department by dialing a single digit,
dialing the extension number or holding for assistance.
x Operating Modes
Depending on the time and the system schedule, the VME 4000 answers
external calls with one of four opening greetings:
Day Mode
During normal business hours, the VME 4000 answers calls with a prerecorded daytime greeting. The daytime greeting enables the caller to reach
a requested extension, mailbox, department, and directory or to switch
languages.
Night Mode
During non-working hours, the VME 4000 answers calls with a prerecorded nighttime greeting that enables the caller to leave a message in a
requested mailbox.
Holiday Mode
During holidays, the VME 4000 answers calls with a special greeting that
enables the caller to leave a message in a specific mailbox or in the
operator’s mailbox.
Break Mode
The system administrator can program part of the day mode as break time.
During break time, the VME 4000 answers calls with a special greeting that
enables the caller to leave a message in a specific mailbox or in the
operator’s mailbox.
x System Schedules (Auto-Mode)
If your organization has operating hours that vary from day to day, the system
administrator can define the daily operating schedules on a weekly basis,
including daytime, nighttime and break time hours. When the Auto mode is
activated, the VME 4000 automatically switches between the day, night and
break modes according to the pre-defined schedule.
The operator can override the pre-defined system schedule and switch
manually to day, night, break, or holiday mode using a password.
1-4 VME 4000 Installation and Programming Manual
Introduction
x Holiday Schedules
The VME 4000 switches automatically to Holiday mode on dates programmed
as holidays. During holidays the VME 4000 answers calls with the special
holiday greeting.
x Fax Detection
If the VME 4000 detects a fax tone (CNG) during the opening greeting, it
automatically transfers the call to the pre-defined fax extension.
x Directory Listing (Dial By Name)
The VME 4000 can provide a list of mailbox owner names. The directory
listing enables calls to be transferred to all extensions configured within the
list. A caller can access the directory listing by following instructions during
the opening greeting.
In order to enable a directory listing call transfer, the mailbox owner must
record his name and a three-letter code. A caller can reach the proper extension
after dialing the respective code and verifying a correct extension according to
the mailbox owner’s name.
The system administrator enables two methods of directory listing: according
to the mailbox owners first or last name.
x Call Transfer
The system administrator can program the VME 4000 to detect the Call
Progress tone and DTMF signals sent by the PBX and transfer the calls to
extensions in one of the following modes:
Non-Supervised
. The VME 4000 transfers the call immediately without
verifying the status of an extension.
Supervised
. The VME 4000 checks for a busy or answer signal before
transferring the call to an extension.
Semi-Supervised
. The VME 4000 only checks for a busy signal before
transferring the call to an extension.
x Multilingual Option
The VME 4000 can operate in three languages simultaneously. The system
administrator can configure each mailbox to operate in one of the three selected
languages. The caller can select the language in which the system messages
(prompts) are played.
