Embedded Voicemail Installation Guide
IP Office Embedded VoiceMail
Overview
IP Office Embedded VoiceMail is supported on the IP Office Small Office Edition, IP Office 406 V2 and IP Office
500 control units. Embedded VoiceMail does not require an IP Office license. It provides basic voicemail mailbox
operation without requiring a permanent voicemail server PC. It also provides multiple auto-attendant support for
incoming calls.
Embedded VoiceMail uses the following components:
Memory Card
The type and capacity depends on the memory card of the IP Office control unit. However, in all cases, the
cards are specially formatted for Embedded VoiceMail use. Alternate third-party memory cards are not
supported for Embedded VoiceMail.
IP Office IP406 V2 and IP500 Control Units
Use an Avaya supplied 512MB Type II Compact Flash memory card. Provides up to 15 hours of
uncompressed message storage. A memory card supplied for a Small Office Edition control unit
can not be used in the IP 406 V2 or IP 500 control unit.
IP Office Small Office Edition
Uses an Avaya supplied 64MB Compact Flash memory card within a PCMCIA card carrier.
Provides up to 10 hours of compressed message storage. A memory card supplied for a IP 406 V2
or IP 500 control unit can not be used in the Small Office Edition control unit.
Voice Compression Channels
Messages and prompts stored on the Small Office Edition memory card are compressed using the IP
Office control unit's voice compression channels. Thus voice compression channels are required during
any voicemail accesses. It is important to note that the same voice compression channels are also used for
VoIP calls.
IP Office 406 V2 and IP500 Control Units
Do not require or use voice compression channels for Embedded VoiceMail.
IP Office Small Office Edition
On the Small Office Edition, voice compression channels are pre-built into the control unit. Small
Office Edition control units are available in 3 channel and 16 channel variants. An existing Small
Office Edition control unit cannot be upgraded to add further voice compression channels.
IP Office Manager Application
During installation, connection to a PC running the IP Office Manager application is required. This is
required for IP Office configuration.
Note
Embedded VoiceMail cannot be used in conjunction with VoiceMail Lite or VoiceMail Pro. The presence of
a running VoiceMail Lite or VoiceMail Pro server on the same network may cause Embedded VoiceMail to
fail.

Installing Embedded VoiceMail
Upgrading Prompts
For IP Office 3.0 and higher, Embedded VoiceMail memory cards are supplied with the necessary prompt files preinstalled. Previous releases required that the prompts be initially transferred using TFTP from a PC running IP
Office Manager. All the prompts for Embedded VoiceMail can be found in the LVMSound folder on the IP Office
Administrator Applications CD. There are two sets, one for compressed memory cards in the G723 Files folder,
and one for uncompressed memory cards in the G711 Files folder. Each set contains a folder for each supported
language.
IP Office Small Office Edition - Compressed Prompts
The sub-folders in LVMSound/G723 Files should be copied to LVMAIL on the memory card.
IP Office 406 V2 - Uncompressed Prompts
The sub-folders in LVMSound/G711Files should be copied to LVMAIL on the memory card.
Important
The upgrade batch file and new prompts are supplied on the Admin CD. Check to see if the files are zipped. If they
are, extract the files onto your hard disk.
Upgrade Prompts Pre 3.0
The instructions to upgrade assume that the files are stored on the CD. If you have extracted the files onto your
hard disk please replace the reference to the CD with the directory that the files were extracted into. This method

3. The batch file will start transferring all the necessary folders and prompt files. The whole
process of transferring the prompt files can take up to 40 minutes.
9. When all the files have been transferred, close the Command prompt window.
10. Restart the IP Office control unit by removing and then reapplying power.
11. When the IP Office has restarted, wait approximately 10 minutes while it scans the new prompts that are
available.
The IP Office Monitor application can be used to show this activity. For more information, see
Monitoring Embedded VoiceMail.

For an IP406 V2 control unit:
1. Type cdG711 Files and press Enter.
2. Run the batch file Upgrade4p0_711. The batch file will start transferring all the necessary
folders and prompt files. A separate 'Transfer Succeeded' message should be displayed
for each sound clip transferred. The whole process should take approximately 5 minutes.
For a Small Office Edition control unit:
1. Type cdG723 Files and press Enter.
2. Run the batch file Upgrade4p0_723. The batch file will start transferring all the necessary
folders and prompt files. A separate 'Transfer Succeeded' message should be displayed
for each sound clip transferred. The whole process should take approximately 5 minutes.
When all of the sound clips have been transferred, wait for the next housekeeping cycle to be performed (a
maximum of 5 minutes). The system will assimilate the sound-clips during the next housekeeping cycle.

4. Click the Voicemail tab.
5. From the Voicemail Type list select Embedded VoiceMail.
Only one type of voicemail system can be used on an IP Office Control Unit at a time.
6. Set the Maximum Record Time for messages and prompts to the value required by the customer. The
allowable range is 30 to 180 seconds with 110 seconds as default.
7. Click OK to save the voicemail system changes.
8. Click to send the configuration change back to the control unit.
9. From an extension on the system, dial *17. The Embedded VoiceMail should answer and start to give you
prompts.

Embedded Voicemail Installation Guide
User Mailbox Configuration
Embedded VoiceMail creates a mailbox for each user on the IP Office system. Calls are routed to the mailbox
whenever the user's extension is busy or does not answer within the users allocated no answer time. This includes
calls that are forwarded to another internal destination.
An individual user's mailbox can be configured either through the mailbox and system short codes (refer to the
Embedded VoiceMail User Guide) or by configuring the user settings in the IP Office Manager.
Message Waiting Indication
If supported by the user's current extension, the user will receive message waiting indication whenever
their mailbox contains new messages. The type of message waiting indication will depend on the
telephone.
Mailbox Access
The standard default short code (*17) can be used to access an extensions associated user mailbox. Other
methods of mailbox access can be configured.
Ringback
Embedded VoiceMail can be set to ring the user whenever they have new messages in their mailbox. This
ringback is triggered the completion of a call at the user's extension. Ringback from a hunt group mailbox
containing new messages may also occur if the user is configured to receive hunt group message waiting
indication.
Voicemail On/Off
The sending of calls to the user's mailbox can be switched off. Note however that this does not stop other
methods of leaving messages directly in the user's mailbox.
Access Code
An access code can be assigned to the mailbox. Anyone accessing the mailbox must first enter this code,
before they can collect messages. The access code can be reset by the user once they are in their
mailbox.
Voicemail Reception & Breakout Numbers
Setting a Voicemail Reception number for a user, allows callers leaving a message in their mailbox to dial 0
to be transferred to that number. If used this feature should be announced in the mailbox greeting prompt.
Two transfer numbers can also be entered. The user can record a message stating that the caller can
press 2 or 3 to transfer to the specified telephone numbers.
WARNING: Changing User Names
Mailboxes are created based on the unique user name within the IP Office configuration. Changing a user name
will associate that user with a new mailbox. If it is necessary to change a user name, ensure that they have played
and deleted all messages first. If a user name is changed without clearing the original mailbox, it will be necessary
to create a short code based on the old user name in order to access the old mailbox.

To change voicemail configuration for an individual:
1. Open IP Office Manager and receive the IP Office configuration.
2. In the Navigation pane click User and select the individual user.
3. View the Voicemail tab.
Configuring Embedded VoiceMail
4. (Optional) Enter a voicemail code between 4-15 digits in the Voicemail Code field. This is required when
users retrieve voicemail messages remotely, for example from another user's extension or from an external
telephone.
The Voicemail Code must be retyped in the Confirm Voicemail Code field to ensure it has been
correctly entered.
5. (Optional) Voicemail can be turned off by un-checking the Voicemail On option. When on, the mailbox is
used to answer the user's unanswered or busy calls.
6. (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.

This number might be, for example, the number of a colleague of the mailbox owner whose
extension was originally dialed.
Breakout (DTMF 3)
The number to which callers are to be transferred if they are directed to voicemail and press *3.
This number might be, for example, the mobile or cell number of the mailbox owner whose
extension was originally dialed.
8. Click OK to save the voicemail changes for the user.
9. Amend any other user details, then save and merge the configuration changes.
Note
External breakout numbers can be used if the user has the option 'Inhibit Off-Switch Forward/Transfer' checked in
their Telephony tab.

Remote Mailbox Access
The standard methods for remote mailbox access apply to users or to hunt groups. Remote Mailbox Access is
defined as:
Accessing a mailbox from an extension that does not match the mailbox number.
External caller access to voicemail to collect messages from a mailbox.
WARNING
Where remote access is setup for any mailbox there must be a mailbox access code is set for the user or hunt
group. If a mailbox does not have an access code remote access is not available.
There are a number of ways to enable remote mailbox access.
1. An auto attendant can be used to enable remote access to a mailbox. A short code similar to the example
could be entered as the Destination for one of the auto attendant Normal Transfer key options. For more
information, see Using Auto Attendant to Access Voicemail.
2. An incoming call route could be configured to enable remote access to a mailbox. The option Voicemail
can be selected as the Destination and/or Night Service Destination of an Incoming Call Route.
3. A short code can be created that uses the Voicemail Collect feature but without a mailbox name specified
in the Telephone Number field will trigger remote access. An example is shown below. This short code
could be utilized by users on the system, as the destination in an Incoming Call Route or as the destination
for a auto attendant option.

Hunt Group Mailbox Configuration
Overview
Embedded VoiceMail creates a mailbox for each hunt group on the IP Office system. Calls are sent to the mailbox
only when each available group member has been rung for the group's set ring time.
The group mailbox can be configured either through the mailbox (refer to the Embedded VoiceMail User Guide) or
through the hunt group settings in the IP Office Manager.
Message Waiting Indication
By default there is no message waiting indication to any user for hunt group messages. Users must be
configured individually. For more information, see Message Waiting Indication.
Mailbox Access
By default there is no mailbox access to hunt group mailboxes to collect messages. Users assigned hunt
group message waiting indication may also gain access depending on their phone type or if using IP Office
Phone Manager. Otherwise an access short code must be created for the hunt group. For more
information, see Hunt Group Mailbox Access.
Ringback
Embedded VoiceMail can be set to ring the user whenever they have new messages in a hunt group
mailbox for which they receive message waiting indication. This ringback is triggered the completion of a
call at the user's extension.
Voicemail On/Off
The sending of calls to the group's mailbox can be switched off. Note however that this does not stop other
methods of leaving messages directly in the mailbox.
Access Code
An access code can be assigned to the mailbox. Anyone accessing the mailbox must first enter this code
before they can collect messages. The access code can be reset by the user once they are in the mailbox.
WARNING: Changing Hunt Group Names
Mailboxes are created based on the unique group name within the IP Office configuration. Changing a group name
will associate that group with a new mailbox. If it is necessary to change a group name, ensure that they have
played and deleted all messages first. If a group name is changed without clearing the original mailbox, it will be
necessary to create a short code based on the old group name in order to access the old mailbox.
The group mailbox can be configured either through the mailbox and system short codes or through the hunt group
settings within the IP Office configuration.
To configure a group mailbox in IP Office Manager:
1. Open IP Office Manager and receive the IP Office configuration.
2. Click Hunt Group to display the list of existing hunt groups.
3. Double-click the required hunt group.
4. Click the Voicemail tab. This tab includes settings that are used by IP Office VoiceMail Lite and VoiceMail
Pro. For Embedded VoiceMail complete the following details:
Voicemail Code
This field can be used to set a mailbox access code. That code must then be entered by anyone
attempting to retrieve messages from the mailbox.
Voicemail On
When ticked, calls to the hunt group's number will divert to voicemail if all available group members
are busy or do not answer within the group's set allocated answer interval.
5. Make any changes as required for the hunt group and click OK.
6. Repeat for any other hunt group.
7. Use to save the new changes back to the IP Office system.

Auto Attendant Configuration
Overview
In addition to basic voicemail operation, you can create auto attendants using Embedded VoiceMail. Up to 4 auto
attendant services are supported.
The IP406 V2 and IP500 support up to 4 simultaneous calls to Embedded VoiceMail services. The Small Office
Edition supports up to 10 simultaneous calls to Embedded VoiceMail depending on available voice compression
channels.
Each auto attendant consists of:
Actions
Each of the normal DTMF dialing keys; *, # and 0 to 9, can be assigned to an action. Callers can dialthrough prompts, that is press an action key while listening to the greetings prompts. You can also assign
an action to the key Fax. If a transfer action is set, on detecting fax tone the auto attendant will route the
call to the fax transfer destination as specified using the Blind Transfer action.
Blind Transfer
Callers are transferred to the selected destination. This action is used with the key Fax so that
when a fax tone is detected the call is transferred to the specified extension.
Dial by Number
Callers can dial the required extension number. There is no prompt associated with the action. If a
prompt is required you need to record your own.
Prompts
Unexpected results may occur if the dial plan is not a uniform length. Hunt group and user
extension numbers should all be the same length.
Normal Transfer
Transfers the caller to a specified number. This is a supervised transfer, that is, if busy or
unanswered the call will follow the settings of the target user or hunt group. If the destination field
is left blank, callers can dial the extension number that they require, however no prompts will be
played.
Not Defined
Take no action.
Replay Greeting
Repeat the menu greeting.
Transfer to Attendant
Used to access one auto attendant from another.
You can record separate morning, afternoon and evening (out of hours) greeting prompts. Which prompt is
used is defined by associated Time Profiles. The greeting prompt is followed by a menu options prompt.
This is used to inform the caller of the auto attendant options. For more information, see Recording
Prompts.
In situations where time profiles are absent, overlap or conflict; the order of precedence given is to
time profiles assigned to Morning, Afternoon and then Evening.

Configuring Embedded VoiceMail
Create an Auto Attendant
The following process shows by example the setup for an auto attendant for Embedded VoiceMail. In this example
the auto-attendant should give callers the option to press 0 for reception (hunt group 200) or 1 for sales (hunt group
301). For more information, see the IP Office Manager help.
To create an auto attendant:
1. Start IP Office Manager and load the required configuration.
2. Click Auto Attendant. Any existing Auto Attendants are listed.
3. Click Create a New Record in the Group Pane. Select Auto Attendant.

Configuring Embedded VoiceMail
Recording Prompts
When a new auto attendant is created, a number of short codes are automatically added to the system short codes
table. One short code is created for each auto attendant action. The short codes allow the recording of the various
auto attendant prompts. The short code telephone number indicates the name of the auto attendant service and
which prompt the short code records.
For example, an auto attendant called 'Example' is created. When the auto attendant is saved four short codes are
created. The short codes would have the telephone numbers:
The telephone number part takes the form AA:Name.x, where Name is the name of the auto attendant service,
and x is 1 for the morning greeting, 2 for the afternoon greeting, 3 for the evening greeting and 4 for the menu
options prompt.
To record the menu option prompt the short code created with the telephone number 'AA:Example.4' is used.
When using any of these short codes, you hear the options:
1 to hear the current prompt.
2 to record a new prompt.
3 to save the new prompt.
Notes
To prevent abuse of these default short codes, they can be deleted or changed. They can also be removed
from the system short codes section and rebuilt in the user short codes of a trusted user.
Using the Dial feature, the short codes can be assigned to a programmable button. This allows quick
access and recording of any prompts that change frequently.

Backing Up and Restoring Messages
The messages on the memory card used for Embedded VoiceMail can be backed up and restored. Note however
that restore is a complete restore, overwriting the current mailbox messages and greetings. It is not possible to
backup and restore selected mailboxes, messages and/or greetings.
Backup and restore requires a PC with a memory card reader able to show the card as an additional removable
drive.
Warning
You must always switch off the IP Office before you insert or remove a memory card.
To backup messages, greetings and prompts:
1. Remove the memory card from the IP Office control unit and if necessary from its PCMCIA carrier.
2. Following the memory card reader manufacturer's instructions, insert the memory card into the memory
card reader.
3. Open the additional removable drive available on the PC. The Embedded VoiceMail prompts and
messages are stored in the lvmail folder as a numbered sequence of files.
4. Copy the files in the lvmail folder to a folder on the PC's other drives.
5. Again following the memory card reader manufacturer's instructions, remove the memory card from the
memory card reader. With USB memory card readers, use the Windows Unplug or Eject Hardware wizard.
6. Reinstall the memory card into the IP Office control unit.
To restore messages, greetings and prompts:
Only perform this procedure if absolutely necessary. It will overwrite all existing mailbox messages and greetings.
Note also that this procedure requires the IP Office system to be fully rebooted.
1. On the PC, located the backup copy of the lvmail folder.
2. Remove the memory card from the IP Office control unit and if necessary from its PCMCIA carrier.
3. Following the memory card reader manufacturer's instructions, insert the memory card into the memory
card reader.
4. Open the additional removable drive available on the PC and open the lvmail folder.
5. Delete the contents of the lvmail folder on the memory card and replace with the contents of the lvmail
folder from the PC.
6. Again following the memory card reader manufacturer's instructions, remove the memory card from the
memory card reader. With USB memory card readers, use the Windows Unplug or Eject Hardware wizard.
7. Reinstall the memory card into the IP Office control unit.

Loading Other Files onto the Memory Card
The Compact Flash memory card used with the Small Office Edition, IP406 V2 and IP 500 systems can be used to
store files other than those used for Embedded VoiceMail. For example it can store the holdmusic.wav file.
Compact Flash memory cards that are not supplied by Avaya can be used for this type of file storage.
However they cannot be used for Embedded VoiceMail.
If a memory card supplied by Avaya is used, any files stored in this way will reduce the message storage
capacity of the Compact Flash memory card.
This process allows a specified PC to send files to the memory card and tells the IP Office system to use the
memory card
To configure the file source:
1. Start IP Office Manager and receive the IP Office configuration.
2. Display the System configuration form.
3. Click the System tab.
4. In the File Writer IP Address box, type the IP address of the PC from which sending files to the memory
card will be allowed.
5. Use to send this configuration back to the control unit and allow it to reboot.
6. Open a command window in Windows.
7. From the command window, you can use TFTP to upload files to the memory card. For example:
c:\tftp -i 192.168.42.1 put c:\holdmusic.wav
This command will send the file c:\holdmusic.wav to the LAN1 IP address of the IP Office control. In the
example shown this address is: 192.168.42.1. For additional information about the TFTP command, enter
TFTP.
If a destination needs specifying, the memory card is treated as the IP Office's drive a:
8. Using IP Office Manager, receive the IP Office system configuration again.
9. On the System tab of the System form, set the TFTP Server IP Address to the control unit's own LAN1 IP
address.
10. Use to send the configuration back to the IP Office system and allow it to reboot. The IP Office system
will now look on the memory card for any files it needs to download following a reboot.
If a future upgrade or file transfer from the IP Office Manager PC is required, you will first need to change
the IP address of the TFTP server back to the IP address of the IP Office Manager PC.
