18
· IP Office Control Unit
The IP Office Voicemail Pro licenses are entered into the configuration of the IP Office system. The licenses are
required to activate Voicemail Pro features. An unlicensed Voicemail Pro service will run for two hours to allow
demonstration and testing. Licence keys are issued against and validated against the unique serial number of the
feature key dongle used by the the IP Office. For USB and parallel port feature key dongles, the dongle must be
installed on a PC running the IP Office Feature Key Server application.
· Voicemail Pro Server
The Voicemail Pro Service is installed on the Voicemail Pro server PC. This becomes the PC where messages and
other data are stored for the mailboxes and services provided by Voicemail Pro.
· Voicemail Pro Client
The Voicemail Pro Client is used to manage and configure the Voicemail Pro service. It can be installed on the
Voicemail Pro server PC or on a separate PC. Only one client can connect to the server at any time.
· Telephone Extension
For internal extensions, the voicemail server can be configure to send message waiting indication. By default this
is automatically done when the extension users own mailbox contains new messages.
· User's PC
The following applications can be used on a user's PC to access their messages:
· Phone Manager
IP Office Phone Manager can be used to display the number of new messages in a mailbox and to access that
mailbox. The Pro version of Phone Manager can also control the playback of the individual messages once a
mailbox has been accessed.
· Web Browser
If the Voicemail Pro server PC is also running Microsoft's IIS web server, users can access voicemail features.
· Web Campaigns
The web campaigns option can be used to collect spoken and key press responses to question from
callers and then display those responses to internal agents.
· Web Voicemail
For Voicemail Pro 4.2+, licensed users can be configured to access their own mailbox using a web
browser.
· Email Options
The voicemail server can interact with email systems in a number of ways:
Voicemail ProPage 9
15-601063 Issue 20l (03 March 2009)IP Office
Page 10
· Voicemail Email
Using either a MAPI client such as Outlook on the server PC or a connection to an SMTP email server,
Voicemail Pro can send email messages when a user has a new message. The email can be a simple
alert or can include an attached copy of the message. This options does not support synchronization of
messages between the users email program and their voicemail mailbox.
· IMAP
IP Office 4.2+ supports licensed users accessing their mailbox from an IMAP compatible email program
such as Outlook. This option includes synchronization between the voicemail messages in the email
client and the voicemail mailbox.
· Integrated Messaging Systems (IMS)
IMS allows the voicemail server to interact with a Microsoft Exchange Server. Users require an IMS
client component to be installed into their copy of Outlook.
· ContactStore Server
The current IP Office Voice Recording Library (VRL) application is Avaya IP Office ContactStore. The application can
be installed on the Voicemail Pro Server in a separate hard disk partition or on a separate server. The diagram
illustrates the option of installing ContactStore on a separate server.
Voicemail Pro is supplied on two CDs. The first CD contains the Voicemail Pro software. The second CD contains Avaya IP
Office ContactStore.
· The standard Voicemail Pro CD includes the software components for generic Text To Speech (TTS). Voicemail Pro
ScanSoft TTS is supplied on a separate set of 5 CDs. For more information, see the Installing Text to Speech
section.

1.1 What is New
The following are summaries of the new features in IP Office Voicemail Pro releases.
Voicemail Pro:
Voicemail Pro 4.2
· IP Office Unified Messaging Service (UMS)
Two new methods for users to access their mailbox are now supported. The methods are mailbox access using
email applications that support IMAP (Internet Message Access Protocol) and mailbox access via web browsers.
The use of these requires the IP Office configuration to contain UMS Web Services licenses for the number of
required users.
· IMAP Service
72
The Voicemail Pro now includes an IMAP server. Users can then access their voicemail messages using email
clients such as Outlook and Lotus notes that support an IMAP Client. When connected, the IMAP client and
Voicemail Pro will synchronize messages in the mailbox with message files in the IMAP client. Playback is
through the sound facilities of the user PC.
· Web Voicemail Service
75
The Voicemail Pro web service allows users to access their mailbox using a web browser. This has been tested
with the Internet Explorer 7, Firefox 2 and Opera 9.10 PC browsers. This method of access requires Voicemail
Pro to be installed on a PC already running Microsoft's IIS web server. Users can select to have message
playback via an IP Office extension or through their PC's sound facilities.
· Test Variable Action
278
The existing Check Digits action has been replaced by a Test Variable action. This, in addition to offering the
capabilities of the Check Digits action, provides significant enhancements. In addition to being able to match the
user's DTMF input against a specified string offered by the Check Digits action, the Test Variable action allows
the testing of the contents of any system variable against known user extensions, hunt-groups, mailboxes and the
contents of another variable. This will allow callers to enter numbers via a menu action, that can be verified as
matching an existing extension or hunt groups prior to attempting to carry out transfers to otherwise potentially
non-existent numbers.
· Menu Action Invalid Input Handling
240
The Menu action has been enhanced. It now includes a control for the number of retries for the caller to make a
valid entry and an Invalid Input result for connection to following call flow actions. Also prompts can be selected
for playback whenever an invalid entry or entry timeout occurs.
· License and Service Status Display
When the Voicemail Pro client is connected to a Voicemail Pro server, the Help | About screen displays a list of
the licenses being used by the Voicemail Pro server. This license details include the validation status and capacity
of those licenses. The status of related services, for example the UMS IMAP server, are also listed.
· System Variable Length Increase
211
Previously the length of values stored by system variables has been limited to 64 characters. That maximum
length has been increased to 512 characters.
· Outcalling Configuration
In conjunction with Phone Manager 4.2, Voicemail Pro 4.2 allows users to adjust their outcalling settings through
using a visual menu within Phone Manager.
· Using the Phone Manager interface, users can now apply a delay between each notification call in an
escalation list.

Voicemail Pro 4.1
In conjunction with IP Office 4.1, Voicemail Pro 4.1 supports the following new features:
· Windows Vista Support
Those components of Voicemail Pro previously supported on Windows XP Pro are now also supported on Windows
Vista (excluding Vista Home Basic and Vista Home Premium). The Voicemail Pro client is supported on Vista. The
Voicemail Pro server is supported on Vista but not with IMS or Web Campaigns.
· Automatic Recording Mailbox for Hunt Groups
By default automatic recordings for hunt groups are routed to the hunt group mailbox. Previously this could not be
changed except through customized call flows on the Voicemail Pro. An alternate mailbox destination can now be
specified through the Hunt Group | Voice Recording tab.
· Automatic Recording Mailbox for Account Codes
By default automatic recordings for account codes are routed to the mailbox of the user making the call. Previously
this could not be changed except through customized call flows on the Voicemail Pro. An alternate mailbox
destination can now be specified through the Account | Voice Recording tab.
· Call Data Tagging on Transfer Actions
The Transfer action now supports fields for setting the transfer source and description to display on phones
receiving the transfer. The ability to associate call data for MS-CRM via Assisted Transfer actions is now also
supported on Transfer actions.
· Call Transfer Announcements
The Transfer and Assisted Transfer actions can be configured to announce the transfer to the caller. The
258263
announcement uses the recorded name of the mailbox associated with the transfer if available or the number if
otherwise.
· LIFO/FIFO Mailbox Operation
The default message playback order of First In-First Out (FIFO) can now be changed to Last In-First Out (LIFO).
This is separately adjustable for new, old and saved messages. These are set through the System Preferences |
Two new variables can be used in Queued and Still Queued call flows. They are $TimeQueued for the time in the
queue and $TimeSystem for the time the call has been on the IP Office system.
· Castelle Fax Server Support
The Voicemail Pro can be configured to recognize faxes of this type left in user's email mailboxes and include
announcement of there presence in the user's mailbox prompts.
Previously the destinations for automatic call recording triggered by hunt groups or account codes could not be
changed except through a custom Voicemail Pro call flow. The IP Office 4.1 configuration now allows the required
destination for the call recording to be specified.
· $DDI System variable for DDI Numbers
This variable is available on DDI calls passed from the IP Office to the Voicemail Pro.
· Variable Routing (replaces the CLI Routing Action)
The existing CLI Routing action has been replaced by the Variable Routing action. This action allows the call
routing to be based on matching specified values to system variables such as $CLI and $DDI. The numbers to
which matching is performed can include wildcards such as ? for a single digits and * for any digits.

Voicemail Pro 4.0
In conjunction with IP Office 4.0, Voicemail Pro 4.0 supports the following new features:
· Upgrade
You can now upgrade without having to remove previous versions of the software.
· Outcalling
When a new voice message is left in a user's mailbox, notification can be automatically sent to a selected external
number. Notification can be sent for all new messages or only messages marked as priority. If there is no response
to the first notification there is an escalation capability. A user can configure their outcalling settings using their
telephone handset. Details on how to configure outcalling for individuals can be found in the Intuity Mailbox guide.
· Personal & Hunt Group Announcements
Personal announcements can be recorded. A caller will hear the user's personal announcement before being
transferred to voicemail, if available.
· Channel Reservations
Specific functions can have voicemail channels reserved for their use. The channels are reserved in IP Office
Manager. By default there are no reserved channels.
· Automatic Recording
Incoming call routes can be configured to be automatically recorded.

The voicemail system provides prompts to callers and mailbox users based on the Locale that is set in the System form
of IP Office Manager.
If the necessary set of language prompts is not available, the nearest available match is used. The list shows the first
choice language prompts that Voicemail Pro will try to use, followed by the second choice and so on. For example, if
prompts for users with their locale set to French Canadian are not available, Voicemail Pro looks for French prompts
instead, then English US and finally English UK. The abbreviations shown in the table indicate the language prompt folder
used in order of precedence.
Voicemail Pro server prompts can be installed in the following languages:
1. Turkish prompts are not provided or installed but the Turkish locale is recognized. English (US) prompts are used if
· TTY (Teletype (Textphone)) is included in the list of installable languages even though it is not a language. TTY is a
text-based system that is used to provide service to users with impaired hearing or vision. For more information, see
Support for Callers with Impaired Hearing:Overview.
Individual users can have their own Locale setting. Voicemail then provides them with the appropriate language prompts
if they are available. This is set either through the IP Office Manager User form or through the language choice on some
telephones. For more information, see the appropriate telephone User Guide.
The availability of a language in voicemail does not necessarily indicate support for IP Office in a country that uses that
language. Contact your local Avaya office for details of which countries support IP Office.
· All Voicemail
For calls to voicemail, the locale that is passed to voicemail to determine the prompt to play (if available) is:
· The user locale, if set, is used if the caller is internal.
· The incoming call route locale, if set, is used if caller is external.
· If the the possible locales above are not set, the system locale is used.
· The short code locale, if set, is used and overrides the options above if the call is routed to voicemail using the
short code.

All connections between the voicemail server and the IP Office are via the LAN using data channels. The maximum
number of data channels that can be used for voicemail operation at any moment are shown below.
Specific functions can have voicemail channels reserved for their use or may have channel restrictions. For more
information, see Voicemail Channel Reservations.
· Voicemail Pro Licenses
The actual number of ports available on Voicemail Pro is controlled by license keys entered through IP Office Manager.
For more information, see Voicemail Pro Licenses.
· The Voicemail Pro license enables 4 ports.
· Additional Voicemail Pro licenses can be added to enable further ports up to the maximum shown in the table.
· VoIP/VCM Channels
Though linked to the IP Office via a LAN connection, voicemail does not use VoIP VCM channels. The Voicemail Server
is seen as a device on the IP Office's TDM telephony interface.
· Calls to/from voicemail involving non-IP trunks and extensions do not use VCM channels.
· Calls to/from voicemail from IP trunks and extensions do use a VCM channel.

2. Installing Voicemail Pro
Voicemail Pro 4.2 can be installed with the following IP Office systems:
· Small Office Edition.
· IP406 V2.
· IP412.
· IP Office 500
Voicemail Pro is not supported on an IP Office 500 running in IP Office Standard Edition mode. To use this
application an IP500 Upgrade Standard to Professional license is required.
There are a number of different types of Voicemail Pro installation that can be performed. Ensure that you have read the
appropriate section for the installation required before attempting the actual installation. Each type of installation may
have specific pre-requisites that must be completed before the Voicemail Pro software installation.
2.1 General Installation Requirements
Here is a list of general requirements for all types of installation.
· A PC with IP Office Manager and Microsoft .NET Framework versions 2.0 installed on it. If .NET 2.0 is not detected, you
will be prompted to install it before the Voicemail Pro installation proceeds.
· An IP Office Feature Key and if necessary (ie. for parallel and USB feature keys) a PC running the IP Office Feature Key
Server application. Refer to the IP Office Installation Manual for details.
· Licenses based on the serial number of the IP Office Feature Key. This should include:
· A license for Voicemail Pro and any additional ports is required. If Voicemail Pro Server is installed without a
license it will run for 2 hours and then shut down. For more information,
· For IP500 systems an Upgrade Standard to Professional license.
· Licenses for any other Voicemail Pro components being installed, see Voicemail Pro Licenses.
· The IP Office Voicemail Pro CD.
Tips
· Before you start to install Voicemail Pro it is advisable to check that the PC that you are using can connect to the IP
Office unit and that you can load and save a configuration file using IP Office Manager.
· Switch off any PC and hard disk sleep, power down, suspend, hibernation modes.
· The Voicemail Pro software needs to be installed using an account with full administrator rights on the PC. The service
subsequently runs under that account. We recommend that a specific account is created for this purpose and set so
that its password does not expire.

2.1.1 PC Specification
The PC specification given below are the absolute minimum. To avoid replacing the server when adding new applications
we recommend that at least a Pentium 4 2.8GHz or higher is used wherever possible.
This application requires various licenses entered into the IP Office configuration to control the features it offers and the
number of simultaneous connections, up to 30 on the IP412 and IP500 control units. The operation of Voicemail Pro can
be customized to provide special services.
The Voicemail Pro software can be installed as separate Voicemail Pro client and server parts. This allows the remote
administration of the Voicemail Pro server from a PC with just the Voicemail Pro client installed. A copy of the client is
automatically installed locally with the Voicemail Pro server.
The Voicemail Pro server part of the software consists of several components in addition to the core server software,
these are:
· Campaigns
The Voicemail Pro can be configured to run a campaign. This consists of a series of questions for which the
Voicemail Pro records the callers answer or key presses. The resulting recordings can then be played back by
users. The web aspect of campaigns allows user to perform this playback and processing of campaign recordings
via their web browser. This requires an IIS web server to be run on the same PC as the Voicemail Pro software.
· Text to Speech (TTS)
Through adding additional licenses, the Voicemail Pro is able to use the TTS functions of Windows to speak text
and numbers to callers in addition to recording prompts. This is intended mainly for scenarios where the Voicemail
Pro is obtaining text and number values from a customer database.
· UMS Web Voicemail
UMS allows users to access their voicemail mailbox using either an IMAP compatible email program or through
their web browser. UMS Web Voicemail requires the Voicemail Pro service to be installed on a server PC that has
IIS already present. It also installs PHP if not detected as already present.
· Integrated Messaging Service (IMS)
IMS allows synchronization between the users voicemail mailbox and their Microsoft Outlook via Microsoft
Exchange. IMS is not supported with UMS and vice versa.
· Installation on Windows Server Operating Systems
On many Windows server PC's, while the Windows Audio components are present by default they are not always
enabled. If this is the case the playback of voice prompts may be 'choppy' and the TTS (if installed) will not work. Note
however that enabling Windows Audio does not require the server PC to have a sound card installed.
1.Ensure that you have full administrator rights for the PC. This process will also require the PC to be restated.
2.In the Windows Control Panel select Sounds and Audio Devices.
3.If Windows Audio has not been enabled, select the Enable Windows Audio check-box.
Notes:
1. Use of the Large Fonts setting is not supported. Use of this option may cause options on some screens to become
inaccessible.
2. A 100Mbps network card is strongly recommended.
3. Free disk space requirements are also subject to the message storage required. For more information, see Disk
Space Requirements.
4. IMS and Web Campaigns options within Voicemail Pro are only supported on Windows Servers. Aspects of
operation such as Voicemail to Email, Integrated Messaging Pro (IMS), Web Campaigns, etc, are subject to further
requirements as listed in the relevant sections.

Installing Voicemail Pro: General Installation Requirements
2.1.2 Network Requirements
The PC should be configured and tested for TCP/IP networking.
We strongly recommend that the voicemail server PC is connected to the IP Office Control Unit directly or via a LAN
switch.
If directly connected, changing the settings of the PC network card to match the IP Office control unit can resolve some
issues. This should be done according to the PC or network card manufacturer's instructions. The options for IP Office
LAN ports are:
·IP412: Use LAN1 and half duplex.
·Small Office Edition, IP406 (V2) and IP500: Full duplex.
·All IP Office LAN ports are 10Mbps/100Mbps auto sensing.
If not directly connected, using any of the above settings must be supported and matched by the intervening network
equipment.
·The PC should have a fixed IP address. Although PCs in a DHCP network may retain the same IP address between
reboots this is not guaranteed.
·If the IP Office is acting as a DHCP server, it defaults to using 192.168.42.2 to 192.168.42.201 for DHCP clients.
This leaves 192.168.42.202 to 192.168.42.254 for devices that require fixed IP addresses.

2.1.3 Disk Space Requirements
The following are only approximations:
· At least 2GB of free disk space is required on the operating system drive (by default c:), regardless of to which drive
Voicemail Pro is actually installed.
· A compact Voicemail Pro installation requires 130MB.
· A typical installation requires approximately 255MB.
· A custom installation, including VPNM and IMS requires up to 2GB of disk space. However, prompts and recorded
messages consume an additional 1MB of disk space per minute.
· For Avaya IP Office Small Office Edition, you can expect to require at least 200 minutes of message recording
space, that is 200MB.
· For a busy environment you can expect to require at least 1000 minutes of message recording space, that is
1GB.
· If you are installing the Client only, you can expect to require at least 170MB.
2.1.4 Web Server Operation
If web browser access is required, the Microsoft IIS Web Server must be installed on the server PC before Voicemail Pro
is installed:
· Microsoft web server products run as services and require Voicemail Pro to also run as a service. This applies on
Windows 2003 or XP.
· Internet Information Server 5.0 or higher is required.
2.1.5 Voicemail Email Connection
Voicemail Email operation is supported using either MAPI or SMTP. MAPI requires the Voicemail Pro server PC to have a
MAPI-compliant email client installed. For information, see Installing Voicemail Email:Overview.
If Text to Speech is installed, email text to speech is supported using MAPI. For more information, see Setting up Text to
Speech to Read Email.
In both of the above cases, full email sending from the server PC to a user PC should be configured and tested before
Voicemail Pro is installed. Testing should use the same PC user account under Voicemail Pro is to be installed.
70
44
2.1.6 ContactStore Operation
The current IP Office Voice Recording Library (VRL) application is Avaya IP Office ContactStore. This application and its
installation are documented separately.
However:
· IP Office ContactStore should be installed after Voicemail Pro has been installed and its operation verified.
· IP Office ContactStore must use a separate hard disk partition for its message archiving from that used by
Voicemail Pro for current mailbox messages. Use of a separate hard disk or installation onto a separate server PC
are alternatives.
· The use of RAID 1 or RAID 5 are recommended.
· The use of a DVD recorder for long-term archiving is recommended.
· A figure of 7.2MB per hour for archived recordings is given.
· The archived messages held by IP Office ContactStore are accessed via web browser using the port address 8888.
This port address is not configurable and so it is necessary to ensure that it does not conflict with any other web
server service running on the same server PC.

Installing Voicemail Pro: General Installation Requirements
2.1.7 Voicemail Pro Licenses
The following License Keys can be used with Voicemail Pro. The license keys are entered into the IP Office configuration
using the IP Office Manager. If the Voicemail Pro server is installed without a license, it will run for 2 hours and then
shutdown.
· Voicemail Pro (4 ports)
This is the basic license for all Voicemail Pro operation and must be present. It also enables 4 ports.
· IP500 Upgrade Standard to Professional
The IP Office 500 does not support Voicemail Pro unless this license is present.
Additional Port Licenses
The port licenses control the number of ports (simultaneously connected calls into/from the Voicemail Pro server). Note:
The maximum number of ports supported for voicemail operation is set by the type of IP Office control unit. For more
information, see Number of Simultaneous Voicemail Users. Multiple port licenses can be used to achieve the number
of ports required.
· Additional Voicemail Pro (2 ports)
Enables 2 additional Voicemail Pro ports.
· Additional Voicemail Pro (4 ports)
Enables 4 additional Voicemail Pro ports.
· Additional Voicemail Pro (8 ports)
Enables 8 additional Voicemail Pro ports.
· Additional Voicemail Pro (16 ports)
Enables 16 additional Voicemail Pro ports.
Voicemail Pro Feature Licenses
These licenses enable the use of specific features within Voicemail Pro.
· Integrated Messaging
Enables operation of IMS with Voicemail Pro.
· VMPro VB Script
Enables use of VB Scripting through the VB Script action
· VMPro Database Interface
Enables database integration within call flows.
· VMPro TTS (Generic)
Enables use of text to speech facilities using the default Windows and third party TTS engines. One license per
simultaneous instance of TTS usage.
· VMPro TTS (ScanSoft)
Enables use of text to speech facilities using Avaya supplied TTS (ScanSoft) engines. One license per simultaneous
instance of TTS usage.
· Networked Messaging
Enables the use of Voicemail Pro Network Messaging.
· VMPro Recording Administrators
Allows call recordings to be transferred to a VRL (Voice Recording Library) application. The currently supported
application is ContactStore for IP Office.
· For centralized voicemail operation, a VMPro Recording Administrators license is required in each IP Office
system for which VRL support is required.
· UMS Web Services(IP Office 4.2+)
Allows the voicemail server to run IMAP and Web Voicemail services. The number of UMS Web Services licenses
set the number of users who can be configured to access either of those services.

2.1.8 User and Group Mailboxes
The voicemail server creates mailboxes based on the user and hunt group names that are entered in the IP Office
Manager application. Whenever the Voicemail Pro is restarted or the IP Office configuration is changed, new mailboxes
are created for any new names that are found.
This method of operation has the following consequences:
· Mailboxes are based on names
For all users and groups, if their name is changed or deleted, they are no longer associated with their former mailbox
and any associated Voicemail Pro start points.
· Voicemail is case sensitive
If a mailbox or start point name is entered incorrectly in IP Office Manager or Voicemail Pro, the intended operation will
not occur and the call may be disconnected.
· Voicemail removes spaces at the end of mailbox names
If spaces are left at the end of a mailbox user's name in IP Office Manager, when the mailboxes are created, the space
at the end of the name is dropped. When this occurs the mailbox cannot be found as there is a mismatch between the
user name and directory.

· The Voicemail Pro Server (as either an executable program or service according to the Windows version).
· Appropriate prompts for the selected installation language.
· Help files and .wav files for Voicemail Prompts in English.
· Help files and .wav files for Voicemail Prompts in the language closest to that used by the locale of the target
machine.
This is the minimum set of components that you need to run Voicemail Pro. Of all of the setup types, compact Voicemail
Pro is likely to take up the smallest amount of space but this depends on the language selections.
The process for installing a compact Voicemail Pro Server and Client comprises the following key steps:

If Voicemail Pro has been installed successfully, if the server PC has been rebooted then the voicemail service is started
automatically. However it is useful to check the services and to know how to stop-start the services manually.
To check/restart the Voicemail Pro Service:
1. Open the Windows Control Panel.
2. Select Administrative Tools > Services.
3. The Voicemail Pro Service should be visible. Its Status should be Started and the Startup Type should be set
to Automatic.
·Other services will be present depending on the Voicemail Pro options installed. The services are:
·Voicemail Pro Service
This is the main Voicemail Pro service. Normally this is the only service that needs to be stopped and
restarted. It will stop and restart the other services that it uses.
·VMProDBService
This service is used for the Voicemail Pro database connectivity if licensed.
·IMS(Gateway), IMS(Voice) and IMS(Restart)
These services are used by the IMS components of Voicemail Pro if installed and licensed.

4. Voicemail operation can now be tested from an extension by dialing *17.
Setting the Voicemail Services or PC to Restart Automatically
The following action is optional. If there is some fault causing the Voicemail Pro service to halt, that fault should be
investigated and fixed, however having the service or PC automatically restarted if possible will minimize the disruption to
the Voicemail Pro users.
1. Use the Windows control panel to select the Voicemail Pro Service.
2. Right-click on the service and select Properties.
3. Select the Recovery tab.
4. Use the options presented to either restart the service and or restart the PC should the operating system detect

2.5 Voicemail Email Installation
Voicemail Email sends mailbox users who have been configured with an email address, an email whenever their mailbox
contains a new message. The notification email can contain an alert about the message or an attached copy of the
message.
· Although they are similar in concept, Voicemail Email and Integrated Messaging Service (IMS) are two different
components of Voicemail Pro and should not be confused.
Voicemail Email requires the voicemail server to be running under a user account that has access to either a MAPI
enabled email client program on the server PC or access to an SMTP email server.
SMTP: Simple Mail Transfer Protocol
This protocol allows the Voicemail Pro server to send outgoing emails to a specified SMTP server. Microsoft Exchange and
most commercial email servers support SMTP to receive emails. SMTP for Voicemail Pro is therefore easy to implement in
any business that has its own email server. For more information, see Installing Voicemail Pro for SMTP Voicemail Email
44
.
MAPI: Microsoft Windows Messaging Application Program Interface
This is a set of API's that allow MAPI applications to share information and messages. MAPI requires a MAPI compliant
email client program to be installed on the Voicemail Pro server. It also requires the Voicemail Pro service to be run using
a user account that is able to send emails via that MAPI client. Supported MAPI clients are:
· Outlook 2000, 2002, 2003, 2007
MAPI Voicemail Email can be used with Voicemail Lite and Voicemail Pro. For Voicemail Pro installed as a service (the
default on Windows 2000/2003/XP Professional), emails can be sent without having to open and run the MAPI email
client program. For Voicemail Pro installed as a server program, the email client program may have to be left open for
mail transfers to take place.
The exact method of integration between the voicemail server and the MAPI email client depends on whether the
voicemail server is part of a work group or a domain. This guide contains examples for both approaches.
The MAPI process described in this guide was based on Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional with Microsoft Outlook 2000
and Microsoft Outlook Express 5.5. Steps may differ depending on the version of Windows and email client used.
2.5.1 Installing VoiceMail Pro for SMTP Voicemail Email
To install Voicemail Pro for SMTP Voicemail Email

2. Install the Voicemail Pro software as required.
3. After the server PC restart, enter the Voicemail Pro SMTP email account settings when requested.

2.5.3.7 Switching VoiceMail Pro to MAPI
By default, the Voicemail Pro installation process assumes that SMTP will be used for Voicemail Pro email functions.
Therefore it requests an SMTP email account settings during installation setup. Voicemail Pro can use MAPI is a MAPI
compatible client is configured on the Voicemail Pro server and is accessible using the account under which the Voicemail
Pro server has been installed.
If you are installing IMS, use the IMS account previously created as part of the installation process. For more
information, see Installing IMS.
Some options are not available if you are working offline. You must be working online to use this feature.

2.5.4 Operation
2.5.4.1 Configuring Email Users and Groups for Voicemail Email
Voicemail Email can be used with user mailboxes and hunt group mailboxes.
User or group email addresses can be specified only through IP Office Manager. The remaining settings, for example
email alert, can be set using any of the following methods:
· Through IP Office Manager.
For more information, see the IP Office Manager help or user guide.
· By logging in to the mailbox (for IP Office mode mailboxes).
Voicemail Lite or Voicemail Pro users who are have an IP Office mode mailbox can switch Voicemail Email on/off and
select the mode of Voicemail Email operation. The exact method for doing this depends on the type of telephone being
used. Mailbox owners can find more information in the IP Office Mailbox User Guide.
· Through a Voicemail Pro call flow that uses a Play Configuration Menu action.
For Voicemail Pro systems, the Play Configuration Menu action can be used to allow a caller set a user or group's
Voicemail Email alert mode. Note however that this action is not aware whether the user or group has an email
address set for the service. For more information, see Play Configuration Menu Action.
Other Phone Types and External Call Access
If no email address has been set for the user or group, the voicemail server responds with the message "Email is not
enabled for this mailbox".
After they log in to their mailbox, mailbox owners have the following options:
· *01 - Sets the Voicemail Email mode to Forward.
· *02 - Sets the Voicemail Email mode to Alert.
· *03 - Sets the Voicemail Email mode to Off.
Mailbox owners can find out more in the user guide for their type of mailbox.
The voicemail email settings are found on the Voicemail tab of the user

Voicemail Email
· Off
Switches off the use of Voicemail Email. Note that other services using the email address such as Email TTS can still
operate.
· Copy
Send a copy of each new message as a wav file attachment to the email. The original message remains in the mailbox.
Forward and Copy should be used with care. Each 1 minute message will result in a 1MB wav file. This may impact on
the performance of the network and email connection.
· Forward
Send a copy of each new message as a wav file attachment to the email and delete the original message from the
mailbox. Note, this settings overrides all other actions such as message waiting indication and voicemail ringback.
· Alert
Send an email alert for each new voicemail message but do not attach a copy of the message.
· Voicemail Email Reading
This is part of TTS operation but uses the same email address as set for Voicemail Email.

2.5.4.3 How Voicemail Email Messages Look
Messages sent by a user or group's voicemail email settings contain the following:
· To
The user/group email address.
· From
The name and address setting of the email client account.
The eMail action in Voicemail Pro can be used to send messages via email in response to caller actions in the
voicemail call flow. The action can also attach a wav file.
In the example above, the eMail action follows a Voice Question action. The $ in the eMail action's Attach file toemail field instructs it to use the file recorded by the preceding Voice Question action.
The same method can be used with a Leave Mail action. Note however that the Leave Mail action must be set to a valid
target mailbox which will then have a copy of the message.
Alternatively, the eMail action can attach a prerecorded wav file by specifying the file name. That named file can be
created by an Edit Play List action.

A single Voicemail Pro server on a central IP Office system can be used to provide voicemail services for other remote IP
Office systems. This is called Centralized Voicemail Pro.
Centralized Voicemail Pro requires the IP Office systems to be linked by an IP Office Small Community Network (SCN). To
avoid the likelihood of two Voicemail Pro servers answering for the same user, only one centralized Voicemail Pro server
can be installed on a single Small Community Network (SCN). For more information about restrictions that need to be
considered before installing Centralized Voicemail, see Restrictions.
Notes
· For information about small community networking and setting up VoIP lines, see the IP Office Manager User Guide.
· By default each IP Office is set to use a broadcast IP address to locate a voicemail server. It can therefore appear that
centralized voicemail is operating before the remote system is set to the Voicemail Type of Line.
· Leaving the systems in this arrangement rather than setting the remote system's Voicemail Type to Line can cause
problems and is not supported.
62
Voicemail ProPage 61
15-601063 Issue 20l (03 March 2009)IP Office
Page 62
2.6.1 Planning Requirements
The following factors must be remembered during planning of the Centralized Voicemail Pro system:
·The voicemail Server PC is attached to the central system.
·A Feature key and Voicemail Pro license key are required for the central system hosting the Voicemail Pro.
·Small Community Networking (SCN) is required between the central system and remote systems. This document
assumes that this has already been set up and tested.
·On networked IP Office systems, it is possible for centralized voicemail to appear operational without Small
Community Networking. However, this operation tends to be unpredictable and so we support Centralized
Voicemail Pro only when using Small Community Networking.
·VCM modules or VoIP channels are required in the remote and central systems.
·The extension and group numbering on all systems must be unique.
·The extension and group names on all systems must be unique.
·We also recommend that all names and numbers (groups, line, services, etc) on the separate IP Office systems are
kept as unique as possible. This will reduce potential maintenance confusion.
2.6.2 Restrictions
· Voicemail Support - Centralized Voicemail using Voicemail Pro
Within a Small Community Network, a single Voicemail Pro can be used to provide voicemail services for all the IP
Office systems. For full details of installation and setup refer to the Voicemail Pro documentation. The Voicemail Pro is
licensed and hosted by a chosen central IP Office system and provides full operation for that system. The voicemail
features supported for the other remote IP Offices are listed below:
· For IP500 system, centralized voicemail does not require the remote systems to be running in IP500
Professional mode. Only the IP500 hosting the Voicemail Pro server is required to be IP500 Professional.
· User mailboxes.
· Call recording.
Recording of incoming call routes is only supported for destinations on the same IP Office system, not for remote
SCN destinations.
· Dial by Name.
· Auto Attendants.
· Breakout
Requires that the numbers used are routable by the system hosting the voicemail server.
· Announcements
Using IP Office 4.0 announcements. Pre-4.0 announcements are only supported for queues on the system hosting
the voicemail server.
· ContactStore
This application is supported but requires each individual IP Office to have a VMPro Recordings Administrator
license.
· UMS Web Services
Users for UMS Web Services (IMAP and or web voicemail) are licensed through the UMS Web Services license on
their host IP Office system. This applies even if the user remote hot desks to another system in the Small
Community Network.

Page 63
Installing Voicemail Pro: Centralized Voicemail Pro
2.6.3 Licensing
The most commonly seen problem in Centralized Voicemail Pro is misunderstanding the licensing requirements.
·The voicemail licenses are entered on the central IP Office and validated against its Feature Key.
·The remote IP Office systems do not need any voicemail licenses except that for ContactStore if being used.
·By default each IP Office uses a broadcast address to locate a Feature Key Server PC and validate its licenses.
·Once a Feature Key Server has validated licenses with one IP Office it will not do validation for another IP Office
unless rebooted.
Given the above, we strongly recommend that in any multiple IP Office network, the License Server IP Address (
System form > System tab) on each IP Office is set to the specific address of its Feature Key server or blank if using a
serial port Feature Key. If a remote IP Office does not have a Feature Key Server (because it is not using any licenses)
enter 0.0.0.0.
It is important to note also that the Voicemail Pro server will operate for 2 hours without license validation. This can
cause Voicemail Pro and Centralized Voicemail Pro to appear operational following installation and to then stop.

2.6.4 Configuring the Remote System Voicemail Settings
After you have installed the centralized Voicemail Pro, you are ready to configure the remote system settings.
To configure the remote system Voicemail settings:
1. Start IP Office Manager and receive the configuration of the remote system.
2. Set the License Server IP Address to the address of the PC acting as the remote system's Feature Key Server
PC.
·This cannot be the same PC as the central system's Feature Key Server PC.
·If the remote system does not use any licenses, enter 0.0.0.0.
3. Double-click the System icon.
4. Select the Voicemail tab and set the following:
·Set the Voicemail Type to Centralized Voicemail (was previously called Line).
·Set the Voicemail Destination to the Outgoing Group ID set on the VPN line to the central system.
5. Load the configuration and reboot the remote IP Office.
6. Dial *17 at an extension on the remote IP Office. The call should ring the Voicemail Pro server and then access the
extensions mailbox.

2.7 Text to Speech (TTS) Install
The Voicemail Pro server is able to use the Text to Speech (TTS) feature to:
· Speak text in call flows using the Speak Text action. The text can include variables passed from other actions
including database actions.
· Support Email Text to Speech. This requires MAPI based Voicemail Email to have been set up and tested.
Voicemail Pro TTS requires the server PC to have a Microsoft SAPI 5 compatible TTS engine installed and a valid license
entry. Two IP Office licenses exist to enable Voicemail Pro support for TTS operation. These are:
· VM Pro Generic TTS
This license enables the Voicemail Pro server to use either Microsoft's own SAPI5 TTS engines or third-party SAPI 5
compatible TTS engines. The Microsoft TTS engines (Microsoft Sam, Mike, Mary and Simplified Chinese) are installed by
default as part of the Microsoft Windows installation. One license is required for each simultaneous instance of TTS
usage.
· VM Pro ScanSoft TTS
This license enables the Voicemail Pro server to use Avaya supplied TTS engines. These engines currently provide
better voice quality than the Microsoft TTS engines and support a wider range of languages. They are supplied on a set
of 5 CDs separate from the Voicemail Pro software CD. One license is required for each simultaneous instance of TTS
usage.
· Installation on Windows Server Operating Systems
On many Windows server PC's, while the Windows Audio components are present by default they are not always
enabled. If this is the case the playback of voice prompts may be 'choppy' and the TTS (if installed) will not work. Note
however that enabling Windows Audio does not require the server PC to have a sound card installed.
1.Ensure that you have full administrator rights for the PC. This process will also require the PC to be restated.
2.In the Windows Control Panel select Sounds and Audio Devices.
3.If Windows Audio has not been enabled, select the Enable Windows Audio check-box.
TTS licenses are enabled on a per port basis. This means that a four port voicemail could have two licenses enabled. If
both the Generic and ScanSoft TTS licenses are enabled in Manager, both of the TTS engines will be used by all four
voicemail ports on a first-come first-served basis. Due to this, the TTS engine used by a particular port for a particular
call cannot be guaranteed. To have one consistent engine used for all calls, make sure that there is only one valid TTS
license in Manager.
· Tip
For a customer demonstration, sales staff can use the Microsoft Speech SDK 5.1 which includes a TTS playback
application that enables you to play and compare different TTS engines without requiring Voicemail Pro. For example
you can compare the Avaya-ScanSoft TTS engine with the Microsoft TTS engine. If you install the application on a sales
laptop PC that has the ScanSoft TTS installed on it, you can then choose a TTS engine and produce a WAV file for the
specified TTS engine. The Microsoft Speech SDK is available from http://www.microsoft.com/speech/download/sdk51/.
The following languages are supported by the Avaya TTS engines:
· Multiple Language TTS Support
More than one language can be installed. A Select System Prompt Language action can then be used to switch TTS
to a different language from the selected default.
· Email Reading
When installed in parallel with Voicemail Email, Voicemail Pro TTS can be used to provide email reading to selected
mailbox users. For more information, see Voicemail Email:Overview and Setting Up Text To Speech to Read Email

2.7.1 Installing Generic Text to Speech
To install Text to Speech:
1.Install and test Voicemail Pro as normal.
2.Using IP Office Manager, add the VMPro TTS (Generic) license into the IP Office configuration. Send the new
configuration to the IP Office system.
3.Reload the IP Office configuration into IP Office Manager and check that the status of the license has changed to
Valid.
4.The Voicemail Pro installation includes the default Microsoft TTS engines (Microsoft Sam, Mike, Mary and Simplified
Chinese) as standard. If another third-party SAPI 5 compatible TTS engine is going to be used, install that
software.
5.If the system is licensed for generic TTS, Voicemail Pro will automatically discover any SAPI 5 installed engine. If
there is no 3rd party engine installed then the Microsoft 3rd party engine is used.
2.7.2 Installing Avaya Text to Speech
The Avaya TTS engine for Voicemail Pro is supplied on a set of CDs. Each CD contains a different set of languages.
However, in each case CD 1 is required to start the TTS engine installation process.
To install Avaya Text to Speech:
1.Install and test Voicemail Pro as normal.
2.Using IP Office Manager, add the VM Pro TTS (ScanSoft) license into the IP Office configuration. Send the new
configuration to the IP Office system.
3.Reload the IP Office configuration into IP Office Manager and check that the status of the license has changed to
Valid.
4.Insert the first Avaya TTS CD. The installation should auto-start.
5.Follow the prompts and install the required languages. Depending on the languages that you select, instructions to
insert the other CDs in the set may follow.
6.If the system is licensed for Avaya TTS, the ScanSoft engine is automatically used.
2.7.3 Using the Speak Text Action
One method of employing TTS is through adding a Speak Text action to a call flow. The text to be spoken is entered
in the action's Specific tab. This text can include combinations of:
· Typed text sentences.
· Voicemail Pro System Variables. For example:
· Entering $KEY would be replaced when spoken by the last digits dialed within the call flow by the caller.
· If using database interaction, entering $DBD[x] would be replaced by the current value of that database field.
· Entering $CLI would speak the caller's CLI, if available, back to them.
· SAPI 5 XML tags can be added to alter how the text is spoken. For example when 123 needs to be spoken as one
two three rather than "one hundred and twenty-three", enter <spell>123</spell>.

Installing Voicemail Pro: Text to Speech (TTS) Install
2.7.4 Text to Speech SAPI Controls
Windows TTS engines use Microsoft's SAPI (Speech Application Program Interface). This includes the use of XML tags in
the text to change how the text is spoken. For example, in the text This is the <volume level="90">text</volume>to speak the items within < > brackets are XML tags used to change how the speech is spoken.
The following are samples of the SAPI XML controls supported by Voicemail Pro TTS. Further information on SAPI 5 can
be obtained from Microsoft support websites.
· Volume
Change the speech volume.
· Rate
Change the speech rate.
· Pitch
Change the speech pitch.
· Emph
Add emphasis to words.
· Spell
Spell out words and numbers literally.
· Silence
Add a period of silence.
· Partofsp
Change the usage of words.

Entering XML Tags
XML tags can be used in two ways, either nested or empty.
· Nest Tags: Example = <volume level="90">text</volume>
Nested tags consist of:
· An opening XML tag, in the example above <volume level="90">.
· The text to which the opening tag command should be applied.
· A closing XML tag. The closing tag use the same command as the opening tag, prefixed with / and no other
settings. In the example above this is </volume>.
· Empty Tags: Example = <volume level="90"/>All following text
An empty tag is not nested, its command and settings apply to all the following text. Empty tags are recognizable
by the / before the tags closing >.

2.7.5 Setting Up Text To Speech to Read Email
It is not possible to parse email without a license for TTS. Therefore, it is not possible to forward emails without a valid
TTS license.
In conjunction with MAPI email clients and Exchange server, TTS can be used to read new e-mails in a user's email inbox
when they access their voicemail mailbox.
This feature is supported only for Intuity mode. Users hear their new voicemail messages and then the number of
"Messages with text". Before each email is spoken, details of who it is from, when the message was sent and the size are
given. This allows large or non-urgent e-mails to be skipped.
· Email reading cannot be used for e-mails in HTML format. If HTML messages are received, all of the code will be
read out as a message.
To set up text to speech to read email:
1. Install and test Voicemail Pro for MAPI-based Voicemail Email operation with an Exchange Server.
2. To perform email reading, the Voicemail account created on the Exchange server for Voicemail Email must able to
access the individual users email mailboxes. This can be achieved by either:
·On the Exchange Server, ensure that Voicemail user account is granted rights to access all user email boxes,
or;
·Within each user's Outlook:
·Select Tools > Options.
·Select Delegates.
·Add the voicemail account as a delegate.
3. If you have not already done so, install and test TTS operation using a Speak Text action.
4. Using IP Office Manager, load the IP Office configuration and open the settings for each user.
5. In Voicemail Email, enter the user's email address. The same address is used for both Voicemail Email and Email
Reading services.
6. Select Voicemail Email Reading.
7. For systems upgraded from 2.0, where a + sign was used in front of the users email address to indicate Email TTS
usage, the + sign is automatically removed and the Voicemail Email Reading box is selected.
8. Click OK and merge the new configuration back to the IP Office system.
9. Send the user a test email. Then log into the user's voicemail mailbox and check whether following the voice
messages a new "message with text" is announced.

2.8 UMS Web Services
Voicemail Pro 4.2+ adds support for two UMS (Unified Messaging Service) options:
· IMAP Client Support
Users can then access their voicemail messages using email clients such as Outlook and Lotus notes that support
an IMAP Client. The Voicemail Pro server PC acts as the IMAP server.
· Web Voicemail Access
This option allows users to access the contents of their mailbox using a web browser. They can then playback
messages to their phone or through their PC. Web voicemail requires the voicemail service to also run IIS and
PHP.
Use of either of these services requires UMS Web Service licenses in the IP Office configuration. The license sets the
number of users who can be configured as users of either UMS service in the IP Office configuration.
· UMS or IMS

2.8.1 IMAP Installation
Voicemail Pro 4.2+ support mailbox synchronization with email clients that can support IMAP (Internet Message Access
Protocol) accounts. Examples are Outlook, Outlook Express and Lotus Notes. Using this interface, users can view the
contents of their voicemail mailbox and play those messages through their computers audio facilities.
IMAP is supported for user mailboxes only. It cannot be used for hunt group mailboxes. The number of users that can be
configured for IMAP and/or web access is controlled by licenses.
Once configured, the IMAP folder and the user mailbox are synchronized whenever the IMAP folder is opened. The
method of indication of the different message types will depend on the email client being used and is not controlled by
the Voicemail Pro.

5.(Optional) Voicemail can be turned off by unchecking the Voicemail On option. When on, the mailbox is used to
answer the user's unanswered or busy calls.
6.(Optional) When a user collects their messages they can hear an additional prompt if the Voicemail Help option is
checked. The prompt is 'For help at any time press 8'.
· If Voicemail Help is not selected, users can still press 8 at any time and hear the list of Voicemail features. This
setting turns on/off the audible help message. It does not disable the actual feature.
7.(Optional) When a new message is received, the voicemail server can call the user's extension whenever the extension
returns from off-hook to on-hook. The voicemail server will not ring the extension more than once every 30 seconds.
Check the Voicemail Ringback option to enable this feature.
8.(Optional) Voicemail email can be configured for an individual user. When a new message is received, the WAV file
created can be sent to an email account either by user selection or according to the set Voicemail Email Mode. The
sending of .wav files across a network creates a high loading on the network and networks servers. A one-minute
message requires a 1MB .wav file. The option Voicemail Email Reading is unavailable in Voicemail Lite.
