When Night Service is on, all lines assigned to the telephones of the users in the Night Service Group ring immediately, regardless of their normal Line Ringing settings.
Night Service is useful if you want telephones to ring after regular business hours. For example, although Shipping Department workers do not answer calls directly during the day, you want them to answer incoming calls after hours.
Night Service affects only the extensions identified using Night Service Group Extensions (#504).
If you program a System Password (#403), the password must be entered when turning Night Service on or off. In addition, when Night Service is on, users in the Night Service Groups can dial only numbers on the Emergency Phone Number List (#406) and Marked
10 Telephone Switching Systems for Amanda@SOHO
System Speed Dial Numbers without entering the System Password. Night Service with a System Password is useful for controlling unauthorized use of telephones after hours.
The status of the Night Service button at extension 10 tells Amanda to operate in day or night mode.
The Night Service button returns to the status (on or off) that it was in immediately prior to a power failure or the use of System Reset (#728).
A Night Service must be programmed on the system telephone at extension 10.
Night Service must be programmed on a button with lights. This feature does not work if it is programmed on a button without lights.
A user in the Night Service Group can receive an after-hours outside call only if it comes in on a line that is assigned to that user’ s teleph one. Line assignm ents for ex tensions in the Night Service group can vary from one extension to another.
Dialing restrictions for extensions not in the Night Service Group remain the same as during normal daytime operation.

Optional Programming

The next few sections cover transferring callers directly to voice mail, leaving a message directly as one user for another, and Auto Dialing.

Transferring Callers to Other User’s Voice Mail

The Voice Mailbox Transfer feature (F14) lets a system telephone user transfer a caller directly to a specific extension’s voice mailbox so the caller can leave a message without first ringing that extension. This is useful when the user knows that the coworker is away from the telephone.
You can program a Voice Mailbox Transfer button on a system telephone to transfer a caller directly to a voice mailbox by pressing the button then dialing the mailbox subscriber’s extension number.
While a call is being transferred, the caller hears ringing if Ring on Transfer (#119) is active. If it is not active and the Music On Hold (#602) is active and an audio source is connected to the system, the caller hears music-on-hold. If neither Ring on Transfer nor Music On Hold is active, the caller hears silence.
To program a direct transfer to voice mail:
1. Press .
2. Enter the number of the extension to be programmed with this feature.
3. Press a programmable button.
4. Press .
5. Select another procedure or exit programming mode.
To use this feature:
1. From a system telephone, press the programmed button or press .
2. Dial the two-digit extension number (or press an Auto Dial button) of the mailbox
subscriber for whom the caller wants to leave a message. The caller is routed to the mailbox and hears the recorded greeting for that mailbox.
3. Hang up.

Transferring Callers to Your Voice Mail

The MS Cover feature (F15 ) lets sy stem tel ephone users press pro grammed butt ons to turn VMS cover on and off, routing unanswered intercom and transferred calls for their extensions to the voice messaging system after the specified number of rings.
You might use this if Amanda were being used as a backup attendant or voice messaging center.

Programming a Do Not Disturb Button

The Do Not Disturb Button feature (F01) lets a system telephone us er press a programmed button to prevent incoming calls for the extension from audibly alerting (light still flashes). When Do Not Disturb is on, outside callers hear ring ing while inside callers hear a busy signal. Users with Automatic VMS Cover (#310) Assigned or with VMS Cover turned on can activate Do Not Disturb to send all calls immediately to their voice mailbox.
This feature requires a button with lights. When the Do Not Disturb feature is on, the light is also on, indicating that the telephone will not ring.

Determining When Voice Mail Answers Calls

Procedure #506 VMS Hunt Delay and #507 VMS Hunt Schedule to schedule when voice mail answers calls. You program them differ ently, depending on whether Amanda is being used as a primary automated attendant, a backup attendant, or a voice messaging center.
Procedure #506 VMS Hunt Delay determines when outside calls should be answered by Amanda. You can set the system for either immediate call h andlin g (af ter the second ring) or delayed call handling (after the fourth ring). Delayed call handling gives the receptionist an opportunity to answer calls before they go to Amanda.
Procedure #507 VMS Hunt Schedule determines whether the outside line assigned to Hunt Group 7 hunt through the VMS Hunt Group all the time, only during Day operation (Night Service is off), or only during Night operation (Night Service is on).
To schedule voice mail response:
1. Press
2. Press until the appropriate value displays. (Values are “1” for Immedi­ate and “2” for Delayed.)
If Amanda will be a: This setting must be:

If you set VMS Hunt Schedule for Day Only or Night Only, you must use Night Service Button (#503) to program a Night Service button for extension 10. See “Setting Up a Night Button” on page 23.

Assigning Outside Lines to Hunt Group 7

Use procedure #206 Group Call Distribution to assign all outside lines to Hunt Group 7 (the voice mail hunt group). This provides automated atten dant service on these lines. The outside calls ring directly into the hunt group instead of being answered and transferred by the receptionist.
You program it identically, regardless of whether Amanda is being used as a primary automated attendant, a backup attendant, or a voice messaging center.
To set up lines for Group Ca ll Distribution:
1. Press
2. At the Group: prompt, press for voice messaging.
3. At the Line: prompt, enter the desired line number. For example, for line 1, press .
4. To assign a line or use VMS Line Co ver for group 7, press until the
value is “3” for VMS Line Cover.
5. To program another line, press or until the line number
shows on the display. Then repeat step 4.
6. Select another procedure or exit programming mode.
XTRA INFORMATION
E
Hunt Group 7 is used exclus ively for the voice messaging system. If you are using a voice messaging system, you have two Group Call Distribution options:
Calls can be routed directly to the voice mailbox of a specific user after four rings.
Choose VMS Line Cover (setting 3) f or those lines and assig n a line own er in the voice messaging system.
As a more flexible alternative to the VMS Line Cover setting, you can use Line
Coverage Extension ( #208) with VM S Cover. This lets you specify the number o f times calls ring—using MVS Cover Rings #117—at the user’s extension before going to the user’s mailbox. In addition, if the user’s extension has Do Not Disturb on, calls on the line can go immediately to coverage.
:
Each outside line can be assigned to on ly one Hun t Group. The caller hear s ringin g, which continues until the call is answered if the Hunt Group receives an outside call and all members of that Hunt Group are busy (or have Do Not Disturb on).
Chapter 3: Programming the AT&T Partner II 23

Voice Mail Coverage for Outside Lines (Optional)

Procedure #208 Line Coverage Extension identifies an extension as the owner of a specific outside line so that the extension can activate VMS Cover (voice mail coverage) for that l ine.
Line Ringing must be set to I mmediate Ring or Delayed Ring and Line Access R estriction (#302) must be set to No Restriction or In Only.
Users with VMS Cover turned on can send all calls immediately to their voice mailbox by activating Do Not Disturb.
Only one owner can be assigned to a specific line. However, multiple lines can be owned by the same extension.
This feature provides an alternative method of routing outside calls to the voice messaging system for Call Answer Service.
To program a line coverage extension:
1. Press
2. Enter the line number. For example, to program line 12, press . Valid line num­bers range from 01 to 12.

Setting Up a Night Button

Procedure #503 Night Service Button identifies a button on the system telephone at extension 10 to be used to turn Night Service on and off. When Night Service is on, all lines assigned to the telephones of the users in the Night Service Group ring immediately, regardless of their normal Line Ringing settings.
Night Service is useful if you want telephones to ring after regular business hours. For example, although Shipping Department workers do not answer calls directly during the day, you want them to answer incoming calls after hours.
Night Service affects only the extensions identified using Night Service Group Extensions (#504).
If you program a System Password (#403), the password must be entered when turning Night Service on or off. In addition, when Night Service is on, users in the Night Service Groups can dial only numbers on the Emergency Phone Number List (#406) and Marked
24 Telephone Switching Systems for Amanda@SOHO
System Speed Dial Numbers without entering the System Password. Night Service with a System Password is useful for controlling unauthorized use of telephones after hours.
The status of the Night Service button at extension 10 tells Amanda to operate in day or night mode.
The Night Service button returns to the status (on or off) that it was in immediately prior to a power failure or the use of System Reset (#728).
A Night Service must be programmed on the system telephone at extension 10.
Night Service must be programmed on a button with lights. This feature does not work if it is programmed on a button without lights.
A user in the Night Service Group can receive an after-hours outside call only if it comes in on a line that is assigned to that user’ s teleph one. Line assignm ents for ex tensions in the Night Service group can vary from one extension to another.
Dialing restrictions for extensions not in the Night Service Group remain the same as during normal daytime operation.
If you reassign the Night Service button, it is removed from the button where it was previously assigned.

Optional Programming

The next few sections cover transferring callers directly to voice mail, leaving a message directly as one user for another, and Auto Dialing.

Transferring Callers to Other User’s Voice Mail

The Voice Mailbox Transfer feature (F14) lets a system telephone user transfer a caller directly to a specific extension’s voice mailbox so the caller can leave a message without first ringing that extension. This is useful when the user knows that the coworker is away from the telephone.
You can program a Voice Mailbox Transfer button on a system telephone to transfer a caller directly to a voice mailbox by pressing the button then dialing the mailbox subscriber’s extension number.
While a call is being transferred, the caller hears ringing if Ring on Transfer (#119) is active. If it is not active and the Music On Hold (#602) is active and an audio source is connected to the system, the caller hears music-on-hold. If neither Ring on Transfer nor Music On Hold is active, the caller hears silence.
To program a direct transfer to voice mail:
1. Press .
2. Enter the number of the extension to be programmed with this feature.
3. Press a programmable button.
4. Press .
5. Select another procedure or exit programming mode.
To use this feature:
1. From a system telephone, press the programmed button or press .
2. Dial the two-digit extension number (or press an Auto Dial button) of the mailbox
subscriber for whom the caller wants to leave a message. The caller is routed to the mailbox and hears the recorded greeting for that mailbox.
3. Hang up.

Transferring Callers to Your Voice Mail

The MS Cover feature (F15 ) lets sy stem tel ephone users press pro grammed butt ons to turn VMS cover on and off, routing unanswered intercom and transferred calls for their extensions to the voice messaging system after the specified number of rings.
You might use this if Amanda were being used as a backup attendant or voice messaging center.
26 Telephone Switching Systems for Amanda@SOHO
This feature must be programmed on a button with lights. It does not apply to voice­signaled calls, Voice Interrupt on Busy calls, group calls, forwarded calls, coverage calls, or transfer-return calls.

If you turn on VMS Cover while a call is ringing, the call is sent immediately to your voice mailbox. If VMS Cover is already on and a call begins to ring, you can turn on Do Not Disturb to send that call and any subsequent calls immediately to your voice mailbox.

Programming a Do Not Disturb Button

The Do Not Disturb Button feature (F01) lets a system telephone us er press a programmed button to prevent incoming calls for the extension from audibly alerting (light still flashes). When Do Not Disturb is on, outside callers hear ring ing while inside callers hear a busy signal. Users with Automatic VMS Cover (#310) Assigned or with VMS Cover turned on can activate Do Not Disturb to send all calls immediately to their voice mailbox.
This feature requires a button with lights. When the Do Not Disturb feature is on, the light is also on, indicating that the telephone will not ring.
Use this feature:
When you do not want calls t ransferr ed to y ou by the Pa rtner Att endant or Aman­da.
If you are assigned to a Hunt Group and y ou leave you r desk, s o calls to t he Hunt Group will skip your extension and ring immediately at the next available exten­sion in the group.
To avoid missing calls when this feature is not needed, turn it off.
To program a Do Not Disturb button:

Chapter 4: Programming the Comdial Unisyn

Getting Started

The Comdial Unisyn Analog Key System Unit (KSU) comes in two configurations: the 308 and the 616. These are si mple low cost sy stems that are featu re rich and easy to install and program. Voice mail integration can be set up with a minimum of technical knowledge.
The basic Unisyn KSU requires the addition of the following items to interface a voice processing system:
A TXIST Industry Standard Board to convert a four-port block of stations to uni­versal station ports. Each board fits into a card mounting slot within the Unisyn KSU. For installation information, see the Unisyn manual (p. 1-7).
A TXRNG Ringing Generator Board for ringing 90 volt IST devices, such as voice mail ports.
A TXMWB Message Waiting Board for turning on message waiting lights in the system.
OTE
N
: Comdial sells the Unisyn system in a package configuration that includes
the KSU, one TXIST Industry Standar d card and a TXRNG Ring Gener­ator card. The 308 K SU comes confi gured with st ations 14 th rough 17 as universal station positions (for use with voice mail systems and analog IST devices). The 616 comes configured with stations 22 through 25 as universal station positions. The packages do not include the TXMWG message waiting board.
For technical assistance on programming the Comdial Unisyn KSU, call Comdial Technical Support at 800-366-8224. Certification is not required to receive technical assistance on the Comdial Unisyn system.

Interfacing with a Voice Mail System

You need to install an RJ11-type jack for each voice mail port to be connected to the Unisyn system. You should refer the installation of the jacks to a professional telecom installer. If, instead, you install these jacks yourself, refer to pages 2-12 through 2-15 of the Comdial Unisyn installation manual for complete instructions.
30 Telephone Switching Systems for Amanda@SOHO

Programming the Unisyn for Voice Mail

Programming the Unisyn is s impl e and st r aig ht fo rw ard. To program the voice process ing integration, you need to be aware of the following:
1. Programming is done from either station 10 or 12 only.
2. To enter configuration mode, dial ITCM *#746*.
3. Define the voice mail statio n ports as Execumail befo re doing any o ther programmi ng on the voice mail ports. If you fail to do this, all programming to the ports is lost when you eventually define them as Execumail ports.
Do not change the station port types for the telephones in the system. Define only the ports you plan to connect to Amanda as voice mail ports.
4. Comdial has defined the entire process of integrating the Unisyn with a vo ice mail system in part 3.9 of the Unisyn manual. The essentials from that section have been reproduced in this chapter.
5. After the voice mail integration, you need to set up each station to call forward (when there is no answer) to the voice mail system as explained in this chapter. (Follow the directions in this chapter because there is a slight error in the Unisyn manual.)

Configuring the Ports

You can program a station port to accept one of several different types of station equipment, such as:
Multiline telephone (Multiline without LCD)
LCD (LCD speakerphone)
Execumail
The system defaults to LCD, so all the station ports on a new system are LCD.
When you program a station port as a voice mail port, the telephone s ys tem automatically makes the following changes:
No dial tone on port
RR2 - Integration for a station busy/no answer forwarded to voice mail
System sends DTMF 9 to voice mail when called by an internal caller
Message waiting lights are handled automatically (if you have the TXMSG Mes­sage Waiting Board)
To enable stations as voice mail ports:
1. If you are not already in configuration mode, dial ITCM *#746*.
2. Dial 51 “PORT TYPE”.
3. Select 08 to define the voice mail ports. The A1 to A16 buttons light up to indicate any ports already defined for voice mail.

Setting Up Ringing Operation

The ringing that you set up determines whether Amanda is a primary or backup attendant:
Primary Attendant: Set up direct ringing to have Amanda answer any line that is ringing at a voice mail port. You will need to program the CO lines to ring directly to the Voice Mail Station Ports of the Unisyn system. One major consideration is that station hunting does not work on calls coming in on the CO lines. This means that you should program line o ne t o d irect ring at Aman da’s po rt on e, lin e tw o to direct ring at Amanda’s port 2, and so on. you should also program delayed ring­ing for the lines to a second Amanda port in case the main port is busy when a call comes in. For example, program line one to delay ring to Amanda port two, line two to delay ring at Amanda port three, and so on.
Backup Attendant: Set up delayed ri ngin g t o hav e Amanda an sw er a li ne ringing at a voice mail port after a specified number of rings.
Special night user: Set up night ringing to use Amanda differently at night.
You must choose a ringing assignment for the lines that you have assigned to the voice mail ports before the voice mail system can provide the automatic attendant feature.
To program direct ringing:
1. If you are not already in configuration mode, dial ITCM *#746*.

: The hunt group pr ocedure (below) is not used when the system is in nigh t
mode. You must program lines 1 through 4 to ports 1 through 4.

Assigning Voice Mail Ports to a Hunt Group

You must assign all voice mail ports to a circular hunt group to take advantage of that feature’s multiple-port interface. Make a circular hunt group by linking all voice mail ports to one another and then linking the last voice mail port in the hunt group with the first voice mail port in the hunt group. For example, with the voice mail system connected to station ports 014, 015, 016, and 017, place port 014 in a hunt group and link 015 to it, then place 015 in a hunt group and link 016 to it, then place 016 in a hunt group and link 017 to it. Lastly, place 017 in a hunt group and link 014 to it to complete the circle. With this arrangement, a call will first try to ring at port 014, then 015, and so forth until it tries all four voice mail ports.
OTE
N
: This procedure does not work for night mode. See the procedure on night
ringing (above) for more information.
To program the voice mail port hunt group:
1. If you are not already in configuration mode, dial ITCM *#746*.

6. Dial * to complete the link.
7. Repeat steps 4 through 6 until all the links have been created.
8. After linking the entire group, dial *** to finish but stay in configuration mode.

Setting Up Call Forwarding

The system can automatically forward busy and rin g-no-an swer calls to vo ice mail. When a user places a call to station A, for example, that call can be automatically forwarded to any other station associated by the intercom hunt group. Use this feature to arrange for calls to cycle rapidly through such associated stations, testing each one in turn with several rings. You can set stations within the hunt group to ring at different intervals. Before this feature can work, you must have programmed the hunt group.

Setting Up Message Waiting

Any station that you program with this feature can control the message waiting light at other stations in the system. When station users see their lights on, they can press ITCM HOLD to call the station that activated the line.
Chapter 4: Programming the Comdial Unisyn 37
To program message waiting light for voice mail ports:
1. If you are not already in configuration mode, dial ITCM *#746*.
2. Dial 53 “STATION FEATURES”.
3. Dial 06 for “MSG. WAIT ORIG.”.
4. Select the station ports to be assigned this feature by dialing 10 through 25 or A1 through A16. (The station is assigned if the LED is on.)
5. Dial * to assign stations to another prime line or ** to finish but stay in configuration mode.

Setting Up Ringing Line Preference

When you assign this feature to a station, that station automatically answers a ring ing line when its user goes off-hook. The ringing line shows as an orange LED only when you have canceled Ringing Line Preference. The IST ports must have ringing line preference assigned.
To program ringing line preference:
1. If you are not already in configuration mode, dial ITCM *#746*.
2. Dial 53 “STATION FEATURES”.
3. Dial 09 for “RING LINE PREF.”
4. Select the station ports to be assigned this feature by dialing 10 through 25 or A1 through A16. (The station is assigned if the LED is on.)
5. Dial * to assign stations to another prime line or ** to finish but stay in configuration mode.

Other Considerations

This section covers some oth er features that may be of interest to you: Ti med Hol d Recall and Unanswered Call Transfer Recall. It also covers how to program private lines.

Using Timed Hold Recall

When you place a caller on hold, the call will ring at your station after the pre­programmed time limit. If you fi nd that your calls are ringing back too soon and endi ng up in your voice mailbox because you are on another call, you might consider setting the hold recall time to 3 or 4 minutes.
To use timed hold recall:
1. If you are not already in configuration mode, dial ITCM *#746*.
2. Dial 14 “HOLD RECALL XXXX”.
38 Telephone Switching Systems for Amanda@SOHO
3. Dial one of the following: 1 for 30 sec. 6 for 240 sec.
2 for 60 sec. 7 for 300 sec. 3 for 90 sec. 8 for 360 sec. 4 for 120 sec. 9 for 420 sec. 5 for 180 sec. 0 for 0 sec.
4. Dial * to finish but stay in configuration mode.

Using Unanswered Call Transfer Recall

When a call is transferred to a station and the station does not answer, you will probably want the call to go into the station’s mailbox. If the call returns to the transferring station instead of going to voice mail, you need to adjust the Call Transfer Recall time.
To set call transfer recall:
1. If you are not already in configuration mode, dial ITCM *#746*.
2. Dial 11 “STA XFR RCL XXX”.
3. Dial one of the following: 1 for 10 sec. 6 for 60 sec.
2 for 20 sec. 7 for 90 sec. 3 for 25 sec. 8 for 120 sec. 4 for 30 sec. 9 for 180 sec. 5 for 45 sec. 0 for 400 sec.
4. Dial * to finish but stay in configuration mode.

Using Private Lines

If you have private lines in your s ystem that need to b e answered by the voice mail syst em, you must assign a voice mail ID to the private line and program the line to delay ring to the voice mail system.
The voice mail ID causes the line to go to the right person’s voice mailbox if the line goes unanswered. For example, if line 3 is a private line for station 14, you want the line to be answered by the voice mailbox of station 14 if no one is available to answer the line. The line needs an identification number for this purpose.
To assign a voice mail ID to the private line:
1. If you are not already in configuration mode, dial ITCM *#746*.
2. Dial 43 (voice mail line ID).
3. Press the line button (B1 through B6 ) fo r th e pr ivate line. (In the example, you would have pressed B3 for line 3.)
4. Press # to clear the current ID.
Chapter 4: Programming the Comdial Unisyn 39
5. Dial the number of the first voice mail port.
6. Dial *** to finish but stay in configuration mode.
To program the line to delay ring to the voice mail system:
1. If you are not already in configuration mode, dial ITCM *#746*.
2. Dial 54 “STA/LINE CONFIG”.
3. Dial 2 “DELAY RING”.
4. Press the line button (B1 through B6 ) fo r th e pr ivate line. (In the example, you would have pressed B3 for line 3.)
5. Press #.
6. Dial the station number plus 2 (in this example, you would dial 142).
7. Dial *** to finish but stay in configuration mode.

Programming a Direct Login Button

A Direct Login button allows users to reach voice mail by pressing that button. Each station must be programmed individually.
1. Dial ITCM **1.
2. Press the button on the telephone set to be used for direct login.
3. Press ITCM again.
4. Dial the number for the voice mail system.
5. Press HOLD.
6. Dial 9.

Chapter 5: Programming the Iwatsu Adix

Entering and Exiting Programming Mode

The Iwatsu ADIX can either use a laptop or terminal with Iwatsu-provided software, connected to the RJ45 por t label ed “PC” on the f ront of th e EDVIF circuit car d, or can use a display telephone plugged into Port 1 (which defaults to extension 201).
To enter programming mode from the telephone:
1. Place programming template over keypad and buttons (or use the diagram in this chapter).
2. Press Feature # 1 2 3 4 9 7 which places this telephone in programming mode. The display reads:
ENTER CLASS X0#1 ADIX -M-KT
To exit programming mode from the telephone:
1. Lift the telephone receiver and replace it.
2. Press the red reset button on the small red reset button (located on the CPU card inside the computer).
3. Wait for the display to show the date again. This takes a few minutes.

Initializing the System

IF the telephone system is not initialized, then you must first create Class 1 level telephone assignments which assign a physical port to a type of telephone and the logical port address. Once all of the telephones have been programmed, press the small red reset button (located on the CPU card) so that all new settings take place.
IF the system is already initialized, ignore this section.

Using the Telephone Keys and Buttons

You use the telephone keys and buttons as you program. Use the following diagram to identify the keys and buttons if you don’t have the template on.
44 Telephone Switching Systems for Amanda@SOHO
The Iwatsu software is organized into three types of areas:
Class areas which denote large categories of functions and settings
Item areas that allow you to work on subcategories within a Class level
Number areas which usually are settin gs and functions particul ar to a telephone or individual incoming C.O. line, etc.
To access a programming area (once you are in programming mode):
1. Press Class.
2. Dial the two-digit class number (for example, 04). The display reads:
04.01
The 4 is the class and 01 represents the first item.
3. If you don’t want the first item, press Item.
4. Dial the two-digit item number (for example, 12).
Chapter 5: Programming the Iwatsu Adix 45
The display reads:
04.12 24
The 4 is the class; 12 is the item. Because this item has no numbers, the item’s setting is displayed. In this example, the setting is 24.
5. If this item is divided into numbers, you press Num and dial the two-digit number. For example, if you were programming Class 4 Item 77 Number 14, the display
would read:
04.77 <Num14> DA
The 4 is the class; 77 is the item; 14 is the number. DA (or whatever value is dis­played) is the current setting for this number.
6. To enter the setting, dial the number (for example, dial 24 for 24). To enter letters, press the following buttons:
For: Press
DA SPKR SPKR DB SPK R TRAN DC SPK R FEAT DD SPKR HOLD F TRAN S FEAT
7. After selecting a setting, press Enter to save that information before going on to the next class, item, or number.

Chapter 6: Programming the NEC Electra, Level I

Getting Started

This chapter covers the NEC Electra, Level I, software release 2.00 and later.
To connect Amanda@SOHO to an NEC Electra, Level I, you need one SLT-F(1G)-200 digital-to-analog converter external box for each analog voice mail port.
Connect Amanda@SOHO to the telephone switching system by connecting one RJ-11 pair from each voice mail port to the RJ-11 jack on the SLT. The RJ-11 cord from the SLT to the digital port is built into the NEC Electra.
Once the two are connected, you are ready to program the NEC Electra. All programming of the telephone switching system must be done from station 10.
To start programming:
1. Press the FNC key.
2. Press the HOLD key.
3. Press #0*.
4. For most features, you: a. Press an LK key (one of the keys just under the telephon e’s di splay), s uch as
LK1 for System Mode.
b. Press a data number (two digits on the telephone), such as 67 for Voice Mail
Access Code Assignment. When you get this far , you have ent ered a memor y block, such as 1-67. (The 1 is
from LK1 and the 67 is the data number.)
c. An access code (usually two digits) representing the feature to be coded, a
port number, station number, etc. automatically appears. d. You might have to press the TRF key to advance to the correct access code. e. Press the digits that indicate the setting for that access code.
You might press a digit that represents yes or no, a series of digits which set the
Message Waiting Indication, etc.

Chapter 7: Programming the NEC Electra II

Getting Started

This chapter cover the NEC Electra II, software release 3.0 and later.
To connect Amanda@SOHO to an NEC Electra II, you need one SLI-8G-21 single-line interface card (this works for up to eight analog voice mail ports).
Run one pair wire for each vo ice mail port from the punch d own block to the co nnector on the SLI.
Once the two are connected, you are ready to program the NEC Electra II. The programming can be done from any station—so long as the telephone has a display.
To start programming:
1. Press the FNC key.
2. Press #0*8974.
3. For most features, you: a. Press an LK key (one of the keys just under the telephon e’s di splay), s uch as
LK4.
b. Press a data number (two digits on the telephone), such as 14 for Intercom
Master Hunt Number. When you get this far , you have ent ered a memor y block, such as 4-14. (The 4 is
from LK4 and the 14 is the data number.)
c. An access code (usually two digits) representing the feature to be coded, a
port number, station number, etc. automatically appears. d. You might have to press the TRF key to advance to the correct access code. e. Press the digits that indicate the setting for that access code.
You might press a digit that represents yes or no, a series of digits which set the
Message Waiting Indication, etc.
While entering the data in step E, use the following keys:
Meaning: Key to press:
To move the cursor to the left * To move the cursor to the right # To type the setting 0 to 9 To type a * LNR/SPD + *

Programming MMC: 207

You use MMC: 207 to create a VM/AA (Voice Mail/Automated Attendant) port. Because you must program MMC: 207 for each Amanda port, you will perform the following steps from 1 to 4 times.
VM/AA ports receive the digits designated in MMC 726 VM/AA Options and also receive a true disconnect signal when a call is completed. Only SLI (Subscribers Line Interface) boards, not key daughterboards, support the disconnect signal. Do not make VM/AA ports data. If they are data, they become single-line ports and stop voice mail integration. VM/AA ports are protected against tones.
