15
Creating and sending fax batch messages
To send customized CallPilot fax messages to multiple recipients you can use Microsoft
Word's Mail Merge and send your print job to the Nortel Fax Batch printer. You must be
familiar with Microsoft Word's Mail Merge functionality to use this feature. Consult your
MS Word documentation. Note that the CallPilot Fax Batch feature is only available to
CallPilot Desktop and Web users who install the Nortel Fax Batch Print Driver.
To use Mail Merge with CallPilot, you will need your main document (the file you want to
send to your recipients) and a data source document which contains recipient
information such as names and fax numbers.
Your Callpilot Desktop Messaging installation includes an example Microsoft Word data
source named Data.doc and an example Microsoft Word main document named
Sample.doc. Each of these are examined below to explain the batch fax procedure.
Accessing and modifying the example Data source document
The Data.doc file consists of a Microsoft Word table. It is organized in columns, with one
row for each recipient. The following column headers exist in the sample: ToFax,
ToName, DelReceipt, DelType, ToCompany, and ToPhone. These column headers can
be modified, deleted and new columns can be added. The column header names
serve as tags that can be inserted into the main document to customize the fax for each
recipient or to direct CallPilot how to handle the fax.
1 Go to \Program Files\Nortel Networks\CallPilot\nda directory and open the
Data.doc file.
16
2 Add new columns or subtract existing ones, as required. For new columns, chose
a meaningful column header name.
3 Add the required data under each column header. The data source can be
created by any means available to populate a Microsoft Word table, including
importing information from existing files.
If you edit the recipient list using the Mail Merge utility (i.e. click on Edit in the Data
source section of the MS Mail Merge Helper), the Data Form window opens and
lists all the entries from the data source table. You can add, delete, modify and
search for records in this window. Any column headers that you added or modified
in the data source file will automatically appear in this window. Note that the ToFax
field is the only mandatory field for CallPilot.
The following parameters and characters are supported in the To Fax field:
Maximum supported length for the fax phone number is 120 characters.
Numbers 0 through 9 are supported.
Upper and lower case P and the comma are used when a pause is
necessary.
The Pound sign (#) is used by some fax servers and is supported.
Common phone number symbols such as left and right parentheses and the
dash are supported.
Spaces are supported.
Upper and lower case M used in front of a CallPilot mailbox number to
designate the address as a CallPilot mailbox are supported.
The other fields are optional and are used to customize the fax or to direct CallPilot
how to handle it. Three specific CallPilot fields and their parameters are:
ToName : This is the fax recipient’s name and can be up to 256 characters
in length.
DelReceipt: You can use this tag to receive a Delivery Receipt in the form
of a CallPilot message in your CallPilot mailbox when the fax is delivered to
the recipient. If the DelReceipt field is set to “1”, then a delivery receipt will
be generated. If DelReceipt is set to '0', a delivery receipt will not be
generated for that recipient. If the DelReceipt field is empty or the field is not
in Data.doc, then no delivery receipt will be generated.
DelType: This field may be used to set a delivery priority for each recipient.
If the DelType field is set to '0' or is left empty (or if it is not present in your
Data.doc), the message will be tagged for Normal delivery. If DelType is set
to “1”, then the message will be tagged for Economy delivery. If DelType is
set to “2”, then the message will be tagged for Urgent delivery. Messages
sent to non-CallPilot recipients with the Delivery Type set to Economy will
be delivered on a schedule defined by the CallPilot server for Economy
delivery. Note that messages sent to CallPilot mailboxes will not be affected
by the Economy designation and will be sent as Normal messages.
Transmission of messages tagged as Normal or Urgent will begin
immediately. Urgent messages will display the Urgent icon when displayed
17
from My CallPilot or a Desktop Messaging client and a voice prompt will
identify the message as Urgent from the CallPilot telephone interface.
Messages sent Urgent are treated as Normal when they are sent to
non-CallPilot addresses.
4 Once the table has been updated, save all changes. You would normally supply
a unique name for your data file here, but for the remainder of these procedures
the name Data.doc will be used.
5 Close the document. The Data.doc file can now be used as a data source by MS
Mail Merge.
Accessing and modifying the example Main document
The Sample.doc file is an example of a Microsoft Word main document.
1 From the \Program Files\Nortel Networks\CallPilot\nda directory, open
Sample.doc in MS Word.
This document contains tagged fields corresponding to those in the example Data.doc
file. You can use this as a template for your own fax or just to practise with. If you
modified the column header names in Data.doc, you will have to modify them in your
main document as well.
First page
The first page of the main document is a special page and does not become part of the
final fax. Sample.doc is installed with the first page setup correctly.
18
The purpose of this page is to provide a location to map information in the data source
to each customized fax document. To signal CallPilot that this as a Fax Batch file and to
prevent this page from becoming part of the fax, two special control codes must be
present on the first page:
$SOJ$ Start of Job. This control signals the fax driver to start processing and
can be placed anywhere on the first page.
/zz Skip this page. This control can be placed anywhere on the first page
and prevents the first page from becoming part of the fax message.
The CallPilot desktop software will retrieve the Fax Number from the first page of the
document. Additionally, CallPilot desktop software will retrieve the Recipient Name, the
Delivery Receipt and the Delivery Type, if they exist on the first page.
/tp Fax Number. Used to address the fax message. This field is required.
/dr Delivery Receipt. A Delivery Receipt can be turned on or off for each
recipient. This field is optional.
/tn Name of Recipient. This name is used to identify the record in the Nortel
Fax Batch Status dialog if the fax number is either missing or invalid.
This field is optional.
/dt Delivery Type. Used to mark messages for Normal, Economy or Urgent
delivery. This field is optional.
To complete the page, the Fax Number column header (i.e. <<ToFax>>) must be
inserted after the /tp control using the Mail Merge insert function. Likewise, the Delivery
Receipt column header (i.e. <<DelReceipt>>) may be inserted after the /dr control, the
Name of Recipient field (i.e. <<ToName>>) may be inserted after the /tn control and the
Delivery Type field (i.e. <<DelType>>) may be inserted after the /dt control.
Note: all Fax Batch controls are case sensitive.
As an advanced fax addressing feature, users can also modify all data in a single
column without actually modifying the data source file. For example, if an existing data
source table contains fax numbers for a large number of recipients, but the external
access number '9' is missing, this number can be added to all fax numbers by modifying
the control on the first page of the document as follows:
/tp9<<ToFax>>
In this example, a '9' will be added to the beginning of each phone number during fax
batch processing. The data source remains unchanged and could be used from a
different location which does not require a '9' for external access.
Second page
Once the data source document and the first page of the main document have been
created, you can begin to customize your fax. Note that it must be equal to or less than
8.5 inches in width.
You can use all of the data source column header tags to customize the document. The
following is an example using the Sample.doc file:
19
In this example, the document is customized for each recipient. Data source column
headers are inserted into the document using the MS Word Mail Merge utility Insert
function. After the main document has been customized, it is ready to be merged with
the information in the Data.doc file. Consult your MS Word Mail Merge help for more
details on inserting data source fields into the document.
Merging data from the Data Source into the Main Document
When you are ready to merge data from the data source file into your main document:
1 Start Mail Merge from the MS Word Too ls menu. Depending on which version of
MS Word you are using, Mail Merge will be under different menu headings.
a. In the Office XP version, select Tools>Letters and Mailings>Mail Merge
Wizard.
b. In Office 2000 select Tools / Mail Merge.
2 Verify that Sample.doc is currently selected as the main document and that
Data.doc is currently selected as the data source.
20
3 Select Merge to Printer and then select the Nortel Fax Batch driver from the
Print dialog box that appears.
Note: Ensure that MS Word is not set up to print pages in reverse order.
4 Click OK in the Print dialog box to initiate the batch fax process.
When the document is merged, data values from the data source file will be merged
into the main document at the appropriate tag positions and a separate fax TIF file for
each recipient is created. CallPilot desktop software will address and transfer the fax
files to the server. The CallPilot server is responsible for actually sending the fax to the
recipients.
Once the process starts, the Print Status dialog appears. The page number increments
as each page is converted to a TIF file. Since the first page is skipped, this page is not
included in the count. For example, if a three page fax is sent to 10 recipients, the dialog
box will display "Printing page 1", "Printing page 2", and so on up to "Printing page 20."
Only 20 pages are printed because the first page of each document is skipped.
Problems that occur while creating the fax images or with the fax addresses will be
displayed in a separate Nortel Fax Batch Status dialog box such as:
Problems such as a missing fax address or an unsupported fax address format are
checked. However, problems such as a wrong fax number will not be identified,
provided the number is in a valid format. A wrong fax number will however result in the
sending of a non-Delivery receipt to the user's CallPilot mailbox by the CallPilot server.
When you click the OK button, the batch process ends and no faxes are sent. You must
then fix the fax address(es) and resubmit the job.
If all faxes and addresses were created properly, a dialog appears while the faxes are
being addressed and transferred to the CallPilot Server. It indicates the status of the
batch job. If you press Cancel in this dialog box before the job is completed, another
dialog box appears asking you to confirm the cancellation. If you select Yes, all
temporary files will be deleted and the process ends. However, all faxes that have
already transferred to the CallPilot server will be sent.
21
If a problem occurs while transferring the fax, a dialog similar to the following appears:
If you select Yes, an attempt is made to resend the fax to the server. If you select No,
the current fax is skipped and processing begins on the next fax in the list. The fax that
was skipped will not be sent. If you select Cancel, another dialog box appears asking
you to confirm the cancellation. If you choose Yes, all temporary files will be deleted and
the process ends. Any faxes that have already been transferred to the CallPilot server
will be sent. If you choose No, the failure dialog box shown above will be displayed
again, allowing you to make a different choice.
After all the faxes have been successfully transferred to the server, a dialog box will
confirm this.
22
Using custom fax Cover Pages
Callpilot users can choose to include a cover page with their faxes. These are typically
designed and managed by the server administrator. The user simply chooses the
desired style of cover page (if more than one is available).
Cover pages generally include the following information:
From Information: Title Name Department Company
Phone number Fax number
To Information: Title Name Department Company
Phone number Fax number
Number of Pages
Sent Date & Time
A Cover Sheet Memo section
CallPilot Configuration
The CallPilot Desktop Messaging Configuration page includes an option labelled
"Include cover page when forwarding fax message". The default value for this is
unchecked, meaning that a cover page will not be added to the message.
If you select this option, you can then choose and set a default cover page from a list of
available cover pages. Use the Browse… button to choose the location where the cover
23
pages are stored. The default location is: \\Program Files\Nortel Networks\
CallPilot\cvrpages.
CallPilot Desktop Messaging Custom form
The CallPilot Desktop Messaging Custom Fax Forward form contains a menu item
named Cover page, which contains two submenus items: Add and Modify.
The Add menu displays a list of existing cover pages available to use. You can select
one of these and click OK.
The Modify menu displays the current cover page content and lets you modify it. From
the "Modify" window, you can also preview the current cover page.
If you enabled the Include cover page… option, CallPilot Desktop Messaging will add
the selected cover page to the Fax Forward form. The cover page will appear as the first
attachment on the list of attachments (left pane). The Attachment's view (right pane) will
contain only the Cover Sheet Memo section of the cover page. You can include any
additional required information here.
24
Nortel Fax Printer Driver form
You can use the Nortel Fax Printer form to send a fax message using either a CallPilot
Desktop messaging client (such as MS Outlook) or the QuickFax feature. The
QuickFax feature allows you to send a fax directly from the print dialog box. If you
choose to send your fax using a CallPilot Desktop Messaging client, the cover page will
be available from the CallPilot Custom form.
25
If you choose to send
your fax to a specific
destination (for
example, a fax
machine), the Cover
page field becomes
active and lets you
browse for a cover
page and/or select
one from the
dropdown list. You
can then modify its
contents. This
provides functionality
similar to the Custom
form. (Refer to the
following section for
details.) You can also
choose not to include
a cover page by
selecting the No
cover page option from the Use fax cover page dropdown list.
Note that you can also include a Subject line here. The Subject field information will
however only be displayed in the e-mail portion of the fax. It will not be displayed on a
hard copy of the fax.
Modify and Preview cover page
You can preview the current cover page and modify its contents from both the CallPilot
26
Custom form and the Nortel Fax Printer driver application.
Click on Preview to view the current state of the cover page.
27
The first time you access this page, CallPilot Desktop Messaging will try to fill in the
From section using information from the registry. Desktop Messaging will remember the
data that you entered into this section and automatically complete those fields the next
time you use this page. Although the From information is automatically populated from
the registry, you can still change it.
In the To section, one field will always be read only - the Fax field. CallPilot will populate
it using address information from the Custom or Fax Driver forms. The Name field is
read-only if the cover page is used from the Custom form. In this case, CallPilot will
automatically fill it using the recipient's name. If you use the Fax Printer driver instead,
this field is left empty and you can complete it.
If a cover page is used from the Fax Printer driver, CallPilot Desktop Messaging
computes the number of pages and enters this information in the Pages field. When you
use the Custom form, the Pages field is left empty. You can modify this field in either
case.
The Sent field uses the current time and date by default. This field is also editable.
The Memo section is in synch with the Memo section of the Custom form.
Note that the maximum length of all cover page fields except the Memo fied is 30
characters. The maximum length of the Memo field is 2500 characters.
28
Calling the sender of a message
You can respond to a CallPilot message or an MS Outlook message with a telephone
call instead of a recorded message.
Note: When the message is answered from within MS Outlook, that program must
be able to find the sender of the e-mail message within an existing address book.
This works well whenever a message originates from an MS Exchange Server.
However, MS Outlook may not be able to determine the sender when an Outlook
message originates from an external SMTP server.
1 Select a message in your CallPilot or Microsoft Outlook Inbox.
2 Click the Call Sender toolbar icon. .
Since the e-mail sender’s address book entry may contain multiple numbers, all
telephone numbers that can be found for the sender are presented to you in the
Call Sender dialog. Choose the appropriate number and press the Call Sender
button. The CallPilot Desktop client will attempt to remember changes you make.
3 Answer the telephone when it rings. CallPilot immediately calls the sender of the
message.
4 When you finish the call, hang up the telephone or click Disconnect .
Forwarding and replying to messages
You can forward a message, and append an introduction to it. You can also compose a
reply to the sender of a message, or to the sender and all recipients of a message.
To forward or reply to a message
1 In an open message, click
Forward, Reply, or Reply to All.
2 On the new message form,
compose a voice, fax, or text
message.
3 Address forwarded messages the
same way as a new message.
Replies are addressed
automatically.
4 Add attachments, set options, and
change the subject line if required.
5 Click the Send Message icon.
Note: Your administrator may block messages forwarded to external e-mail addresses.
29
Compose voice message
Compose text message
Attach file
Adding attachments to messages
Before sending a message, you can attach a voice, fax, or text file to it. Voice files can
be .vbk or .wav format for CallPilot recipients; CallPilot can automatically convert .vbk
files to .wav files when sending to non-CallPilot users. See Changing mail delivery
settings, page 39. Fax files must be .tif format. Text files must be .txt format.
To attach a file to a message
1 On a new message form, click the
Attach File icon.
2 In the Open dialog box, select or
type the name of the file that you
want to attach.
3 Click Open to attach the file and
return to the new CallPilot
message.
Setting message options
Before sending a message, you can set options for handling and delivery.
To set message options
1 On a new message form, select Delivery, Sensitivity, and Receipt options, as
required.
For Delivery, select Urgent, or leave the setting as Normal.
For Sensitivity, select Private, or leave the setting as Public.
Note that when you send a message marked Private, your recipient may still
forward it to someone else, if they are not a CallPilot user. Also, recipients in nonCallPilot systems will not be informed of Private settings. In your message, tell the
recipient that the message is Private.
For Receipt acknowledgment, check Read receipt to request acknowledgment
that your recipient opened the message. Check Delivery receipt to request
acknowledgment that your recipient received the message.
2 Continue to compose, address, and send the message as usual.
30
Addressing messages
Entries in the Microsoft Outlook Contacts list contain information such as: e-mail
addresses, fax numbers, and telephone numbers. CallPilot allows you to use the fax
and telephone number fields in the Outlook Contacts list when the e-mail address is not
a Microsoft Exchange Server or CallPilot Server address.
To address a message from an Address Book
You can address a CallPilot message from the Address Book on the server, or you can
select addresses from any available Address Book.
The CallPilot Address Book on the server is maintained by your organization, and
contains the addresses of the CallPilot users and distribution lists that you are
allowed to use. You cannot edit this list. You can download the Address Book to
your computer so that you can work in offline mode. See Changing your address
book settings, page 41.
Your Personal Address Book is the list of e-mail addresses that you maintain on
your computer. You can add CallPilot addresses to this list.
31
1 In a new CallPilot message, click To… .
2 In the Show names list, select CallPilot Address Book, Personal Address
Book or Outlook Address Book - Contacts..
3 Select the name of the recipient or distribution list.
4 Click To ->. You can select one or more addresses, clicking To -> after each one.
5 Click OK to return to the new CallPilot message once the recipients have been
chosen.
E-mail addresses versus Fax/Telephone numbers
The CallPilot Desktop client will always attempt to find a CallPilot or MS Exchange
Server address when sending a message to a recipient. Using either a CallPilot or MS
Exchange Server address is the safest mechanism for message transmission, since it
guarantees the entire message can be sent and requires no user interaction. However,
if a CallPilot or MS Exchange Server address cannot be found, the desktop client
determines the message data type (voice, TIF, and/or text) and takes one of the
following actions:
Mixed Media messages
If mixed media is detected (voice/TIF or voice/text; note that TIF/text is not considered
mixed media), the message will be sent to the recipient's e-mail address. If an e-mail
address cannot be found, a Non-Delivery Notification (NDN) is generated for that
recipient. The desktop client cannot send mixed media messages to a telephone or fax
number.
Single Media messages
If voice only or tif/text only data is detected, the desktop client scans the recipient for an
e-mail address and telephone/fax numbers. The desktop client scans for telephone
numbers if the data is voice only or for fax numbers if the data is tif/text only.
If an e-mail address is found without telephone/fax numbers, the message will be sent
without additional user interaction. If neither an e-mail address nor a telephone/fax
number can be found, an NDN is generated.
If a telephone or fax number is found, the CallPilot Recipient dialog box is displayed and
you will be prompted to pick the final destination. You must modify the selected number
in the Verify number field to ensure proper delivery. You can also pick an e-mail
address (if available), but cannot modify it.
Validating Telephone and Fax Numbers
The original telephone or fax number may contain any alphanumeric character. This
includes special dialing prefixes such as + for international numbers or abbreviations
such as ESN to denote internal calls. However, you must modify the selected number in
the Verify number field of the CallPilot Recipient dialog box to ensure proper delivery.
The modified number can only contain the following alphanumeric characters:
Numeric characters 0123456789
Numeric Delimiters ( ) Pause characters Pp,
Octothorpe #
32
White space
The CallPilot Desktop client will attempt to remember changes you make. This should
prevent you from repeatedly having to make the same changes each time the same
telephone or fax number is used.
Note that the ability to dial any telephone or fax number may be restricted by the
CallPilot server.
Note also that the ability to scan for telephone or fax numbers is only available in the
CallPilot Custom form. The standard e-mail form will not scan for these numbers. If a
CallPilot or e-mail address is missing from a recipient in the standard e-mail form, an
NDN is generated for that recipient.
To address a message manually
You can type an address directly into the To field of a new message. Enclose the
address in square brackets. Refer to the Required format for a CallPilot E-mail address
section on page 34 for the correct addressing formats.
To add CallPilot addresses to your Personal Address Book or Outlook Contacts
You can add CallPilot addresses and distribution lists to your e-mail Personal Address
Book. You may want to distinguish between CallPilot and e-mail addresses by adding
CallPilot after the recipient’s name.
1 Open the address book from Microsoft Outlook and click on the New Entry
toolbar icon.
2 You will then be prompted to select the entry type. Select New Contact to create
a new entry in the Microsoft Outlook Contacts.
A new Untitled - Contact dialog box is displayed. The two areas used by
33
CallPilot are the contact information and e-mail fields.
3 You can choose to enter a CallPilot address in the E-mail field or fax/telephone
numbers in the contact fields. You can fill in all fields, but the desktop client will
ignore all fax and telephone numbers if the E-mail field contains a Microsoft
Exchange Server or CallPilot Server address.
Required format for a CallPilot E-mail address
If you choose to enter a CallPilot addresses in the E-mail field, it must be entered in the
following format:
[CALLPILOT:XXXXYYYY@ZZZZ]
Where:
XXXX = SMTP/VPIM prefix
YYYY = CallPilot Mailbox number
ZZZZ = CallPilot Server FQDN (server and domain)
For example, suppose CallPilot server “na42349” in the domain “us.nortel.com” with
VPIM/SMTP prefix “1952897” contains mailbox “7404”. Then the CallPilot address for
that mailbox would be:
[CALLPILOT:19528977404@na42349.us.nortel.com]
Required format for Fax and Telephone Numbers
If you choose to enter a fax or telephone number in the contact field(s), it must be
entered as an alphanumeric string. Pause (P p ,) and octothorpe (#) characters are
supported.
The required format is:
34
[CALLPILOT:XXXX@ZZZZ]
Where:
XXXX = Telephone or fax number
ZZZZ = CallPilot Server FQDN (server and domain)
Examples of valid fax and telephone number formats are:
[CALLPILOT:7404@na42349.us.nortel.com]
[CALLPILOT:(416) 697-7321@na42349.us.nortel.com]
[CALLPILOT:(416) 697-7321,7404@na42349.us.nortel.com]
[CALLPILOT:(416) 697-7321p7404@na42349.us.nortel.com]
[CALLPILOT:(800) 921-1342#123123@na42349.us.nortel.com]
Microsoft Outlook supports telephone and fax contact numbers for business, home, car,
etc. Some contact numbers are not supported. Note that contact numbers are a feature
of Microsoft Outlook; CallPilot Desktop Messaging cannot hide or alter unsupported
items. The supported and unsupported numbers are shown following:
35
Personal distribution lists
There are two types of Personal Distribution Lists (PDL) you can use:
CallPilot PDL, which can be created using My CallPilot or the telephone
Local distribution lists which can be created from MS Outlook in personal
address books. Note that this type is not accessible from telephone interface.
To use existing CallPilot personal distribution lists

you log in to the CallPilot server.
Message security in offline mode
If you share your computer with others, you should password-protect your messages in
Outlook. Since Outlook automatically sends messages stored in the Outbox when you
reconnect to the network, another user who has access to your Outlook profile can
send messages in offline mode that will be transmitted without your knowledge. To
protect your mailbox, assign a password to your Outlook .cst file. For details, refer to the
Desktop Messaging online Help.
