Section 1 - Product Overview
Introduction
D-Link® VoiceCenter™, a Microsoft® Response Point™ phone system, is designed for small to medium-sized businesses
with support for up to 50 users. VoiceCenter is an IP-based phone system that provides numerous advantages over
traditional PSTN (analog) phone systems. Unlike previous generations of complicated, hard-to-use IP-based products,
VoiceCenter is easy to install, manage, and maintain. VoiceCenter is also portable - businesses that need to relocate
offices can take the phone system along. In addition, VoiceCenter provides state-of-the-art features such as Voiceactivated Dialing, built-in Automated Attendant for answering and routing calls, Call Logs for managing phone usage,
and Automatic Phone, and Gateway Discovery allowing for a simplified setup process.
VoiceCenter is a scalable solution that supports up to 50 IP Phones and Users on a network. There are no fees or
licenses required for adding more phones to the system. Thus, as your company grows and hires new employees, you
only need to purchases more phones.
There are two different types of VoiceCenter bundles: the DVX-2000MS-5 and DVX-2000MS-10. They both include one
DVX-2000MS PBX/Base Unit and one DVG-3104MS PSTN Gateway. In addition, the DVX-2000MS-5 includes five IP
Phones while the DVX-2000MS-10 includes ten phones. There are no additional fees or licenses required to add more
phones or Gateways to the system. Simply add more as needed - up to 50 phones and 50 PSTN lines*.
The DVX-2000MS PBX/Base Unit is the heart of VoiceCenter that runs the Microsoft Response Point phone system
software. Using a networked PC, the DVX-2000MS can be configured and used to manage an entire phone system.
With the Automatic Phone and Gateway Discovery feature, it automatically detects when IP phones or PSTN gateways
are connected to a network for easy hardware setup. At the same time, the DVX-2000MS routes all inbound/outbound
calls as well as internal calls. It also provides a call log to review and manage phone usage.
The DVG-3104MS PSTN Gateway enables SMBs to connect PSTN lines* to a VoiceCenter IP-based phone system
on a network. The Gateway provides four PSTN (FXO) ports for connecting up to four separate PSTN lines*. More
Gateways can be added to a network to accommodate additional PSTN lines*.

Section 1 - Product Overview
The D-Link IP Phones include many standard and advanced features not found in analog phone systems. The Onetouch Voice-activated Dialing feature allows users to reach anyone in the company directory or their Microsoft Outlook
address book by simply saying their name.
Users can also transfer, park, and retrieve calls the same way. Voicemail to e-mail forwarding is another convenient
feature. Installing the IP Phone is a breeze since there is no need to run additional Ethernet cables to desktops. D-Link
phones provide two Ethernet ports for connecting to a network and PC. Setting up new phone extensions is just as
easy and only takes a few simple steps to complete.
By D-Link building a solid, dependable hardware platform, and Microsoft providing an easy-to-use phone software
solution, we have accomplished creating the next generation SMB phone solution. D-Link VoiceCenter, a Microsoft
Response Point phone system, is the clear choice for today’s productivity and efficient minded small to medium-sized
business.
*Requires a third party local phone service plan. D-Link Systems, Inc. is not a Telephone Service Provider or VoIP Phone Service Provider.

Important Considerations
Response Point offers many features, including the ability to manage, monitor, and control your phone system with
Administrator. With those features also comes some responsibility to promote users’ privacy and system security, as
well as to keep a landline phone available for emergency calls.
Emergency Considerations
Please read this information carefully, as it applies to calling for help in emergency situations.
• Power, network, or telephone service outages: If there is an outage, disruption, or other degradation of the power,
network, or telephone services at your location, Response Point will not work.
• How to dial 911: Please inform all of your employees, visitors, and Response Point users that they can either dial
911 or 9-911 to access 911 emergency services.
• Maintain an alternative means of calling 911: You should maintain a backup means of calling 911 emergency
services (for example, by using a phone plugged into a standard telephone line or a cell phone) in case of a power
failure, telephone service outage, or other problem that may inhibit you from using Response Point.
• 811 feature: By dialing 811, you can call back the last phone that was used to dial 911. This information will be
stored for only 24-48 hours after 911 is dialed. Note: This feature may not work if the phone as not been registered
with the Response Point base unit by your phone system administrator.
• 911 location obligations that may apply to certain owners of Response Point: Your telephone company may be
required under applicable law to provide a telephone number and address associated with that telephone number
to emergency services when a caller dials 911. Please note that certain U.S. (state and/or federal) and foreign laws
may require the owner of a multi-line telephone system (MLTS), such as Response Point, to provide emergency
services with the physical location/address of the phone that was used to call 911, in addition to the caller’s telephone
number. Compliance with such MLTS laws is your responsibility as the owner of Response Point. Response Point
does not provide to emergency services the physical location/address of a phone that is used to call 911.

Privacy Considerations
The following considerations describe privacy issues that are unique to Response Point:
Privacy of Users
• The personal information that you enter in the User Properties dialog box is stored on the base unit and is not
encrypted. Any user who has access to the base unit password (for example, the phone system administrator) can
modify this information, which includes:
• Voicemail messages that you configure to be retrieved by phone. (Voice messages sent as e-mail attachments
are not stored on the base unit.)
• Names and nicknames that you think external callers might use when speaking to the Automated Receptionist.
• Personal contact information that you upload from your contact store.
• E-mail addresses that you specify to receive voicemail attachments.
• Bypass Receptionist phone numbers that connect directly to the extension numbers that you specify.
• If you select the Remember logon settings check box when logging on to Assistant, your credentials are encrypted
and are stored on the computer running Assistant.
• The directory is available to external callers. You can choose to add or remove your name and extension number
from this directory. However, the phone system administrator can override your choice without your consent—by
either adding your information to the directory or removing your information from it.
• Your user name and extension number are automatically added to the list displayed in Assistant; there is no way
to override this feature. Any user who logs on to Assistant can view this list.

Section 2 - Installation
Privacy of Calls
Various components of the Microsoft® Response Point™ phone system must exchange data so that you can place and
receive calls. Similar to many traditional phone systems, where people with access to the office phone network may be
able to listen to phone calls, people with access to your office LAN may also be able to listen to phone calls that you
place using Response Point.
Calls—which are comprised of data packets that pass between base units, phone line adapters, and phones—travel
over the office LAN and are not encrypted. For example, the caller ID information that is exchanged between the phones
and base unit is not encrypted. Likewise, a conversation that is transmitted from one phone to another phone is not
encrypted.
However, data that is exchanged between the base unit and Administrator or Assistant is encrypted.
Privacy of SMTP Servers
The information that is transmitted from the base unit to your SMTP server (such as, a Microsoft Exchange server on
the LAN or your ISP’s e-mail server on the Internet) will be encrypted or not depending on whether your SMTP server
requires encryption. Information that may not be encrypted includes the user name and password for logging on to the
SMTP server and voice messages sent as e-mail attachments. For more information about your base unit’s connection
to the SMTP server, contact the phone system administrator.
Privacy of Backups
The phone system administrator may choose to make a backup of the data on the base unit. Data saved in the backup
file is not encrypted. Therefore, we recommend that the phone system administrator store backups on a removable
hard drive that can be disconnected from the LAN and stored in a secure location (for example, on a disk that can be
stored in a locked drawer).

Section 2 - Installation
Transfer of Base Units
Transfer of Base Units
Before transferring the base unit to another person—for example, if you give it to another small business owner or recycle
it—you may want to permanently delete all information using the Erase Data program (“ResponsePointEraseData.exe”)
that comes on the installation CD.
Security Considerations
Security Considerations
Security and privacy are related topics. Privacy Considerations discusses the handling of users’ personal information.
This topic focuses on the issues involved securing your phone system.
While Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) brings the power of the Internet to phone services, it also introduces some
security issues. Unless your LAN is secure, employees or callers could change phone settings, listen to others’ voice
messages, and even access the public address system, if you have one.
Consider the following issues in creating a secure phone system:
Change Default Passwords
The first step toward securing Response Point is to change the default password of the base unit. The default base unit
password is admin, which you use from Administrator to connect to the base unit.
Also, encourage your employees to change their passwords using Assistant. An employee is typically assigned to
one extension number password, which is used to log on Assistant and to retrieve voicemail messages. The default
extension number password is 9999.
11D-Link DVX-2000MS User Manual
Page 12
Section 2 - Installation
System Vulnerabilities
Response Point runs on your office LAN, and your organization may have a wireless LAN. While convenient and popular,
the security features in many wireless default implementations may not be adequate for your needs. Consider whether
your LAN security configuration, especially your wireless LAN security configuration, is correct for your business.
Firewall Issues
It’s a good idea to use firewalls to help protect your office LAN. A firewall blocks requests or communication attempts
from any unspecified programs.
If you use a third-party firewall to provide security, instead of the default Windows Firewall, Assistant and Administrator
may not be able communicate with the base unit. To avoid this problem, create firewall exceptions in your firewall program
for Administrator and Assistant. A firewall exception allows selected programs to connect with your computer.
If you are using a third-party firewall, refer to its documentation for instructions on creating firewall exceptions.
Security Certificates
When you first log on to Administrator and connect to a base unit, you are asked to establish a security relationship
between the base unit and the computer running Administrator.
If you proceed to establish that security relationship, the base unit copies a certificate (a digital document) to the
computer running Administrator. Once the two have the same certificate information, your computer automatically trusts
that the base unit is legitimate.
Security certificates are put on the base unit when manufactured and have a 15-year expiration date. If you think you’re
near the 15-year limit, contact the manufacturer’s customer support service.
Occasionally, when you log on, you might get a security error, which won’t allow you to connect to a base unit. This can
occur if the certificate exchange has been corrupted, for example. In this case, try connecting again, or restart the base
unit so that the certificate can be reinitialized. If you still get an error, a program or other device on the LAN might be
trying to fool you or intercept your base unit data. You will see explanatory messages when these conditions occur.

Page 13
Section 2 - Installation
Security of Backups
Phone system data is not encrypted when a backup is created. Therefore, we recommend that the phone system
administrator store backups on a removable hard drive, which can be disconnected from the LAN.
Performance Considerations
Response Point can handle many calls in a timely and reliable manner. However, there are several configuration and
other practices that can affect performance, including how the phone system handles calls, delivery of voice messages,
and so forth. The following issues may affect performance.
Issue: Slow Performance
There is no absolute limit to the number of phones or phone line adapters that can be added to the phone system.
However, the practical limit is 50 phones and 25 phone line adapters. If these limits are surpassed, performance of the
phone system will be sluggish.
Issue: Voice Recognition Performance
System recognition of the names requested by callers can be affected by the total number of contacts stored on the
base unit. If your phone system is experiencing reduced performance, ask users to reduce the number of contacts to
those names and numbers that are called frequently.
Issue: Administrator and Assistant Can’t Communicate/Firewall Effects?
If you choose to use a third-party firewall instead of the default Windows Firewall, Assistant and Administrator will not
be able communicate with each other. A firewall blocks all requests or communication attempts from any unspecified
programs. To avoid this problem, create firewall exceptions in your firewall program for Administrator and Assistant. A
firewall exception allows selected programs to connect with your computer.

Section 2 - Installation
Setting Passwords
Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) brings the power of the Internet to phone services. Unless your LAN is secure,
however, phone users or callers could change phone settings, listen to others’ voicemail, and even access the public
address system if you have one. Setting passwords is an important action to take to secure your Microsoft® Response
Point phone™ system.
Base Unit Password (Administrator)
To help protect your phone system, immediately change the base unit password when you set up Response Point. In
Administrator, a message will prompt you to change the default base unit password—”admin”—to a unique password.
Choose a strong password that you will remember.
Logon and Voicemail Passwords (Assistant)
Employees also have a password for logging on and accessing their voicemail messages left at their extension number.
If they have more than one extension number, because they are identified as another type of user, they will have a
different password for each extension number. For example, an employee might log on as “Diane Margheim” at extension
101, or as “Sales” at extension 201. In this case, Diane will have a unique password for “extension 101” and “extension
201.”
The default password for extension numbers, set in Assistant, is 9999. As phone system administrator, you can reset
the password to this default when necessary. Otherwise, it’s a good idea to encourage employees to change their
passwords regularly.

Testing Two Response Point Phones
Now that you have the phones connected to the LAN and have configured them through Microsoft® Response Point™
Administrator, it’s time to test the connection and configuration to make sure they work.
Note: You can dial extension numbers in several ways:
• Dial the number, and wait for several seconds before the connection is made.
• Dial the number, and press OK on the phone (for a faster connection time).
• Press Response Point button on the phone, and say the name of the person you want to call, in this
case the name of the phone user assigned to the phones you just configured.
To test the phones with the Microsoft Response Point phone system
1. Using the first phone, dial the extension number assigned to the user on the second phone, and confirm
that it rings.
Note: It may take several seconds for the second phone to ring.
2. Go to the second phone and try the extension number of the user on the first phone.
If the phones did not work, the likely cause is a loose connection. Make sure all cables and cords are properly seated
into their
respective ports, jacks, and outlets.
Next, you’re going to configure the DVG-3104MS gateway.

Getting Started
This section will get you started on configuring some of the Response Point basic features such as Choosing a Call
Distribution Plan, Setting Up a Multiple Rings Plan, Setting Up a Live Operator, Setting Up a Automated Receptionist,
Configure E-mail Delivery of Voice Messages, How to Change the DVX-2000MS Password.
What Is a Phone?
Phones that come with Response Point have a special button called the Response Point button. This button gives you
access to many of the phone system features, including voice dialing, call transferring, parking and retrieving of calls,
and more.
When a phone is configured, the phone system administrator assigns a user, or multiple users, to the phone. Each
phone always has an owner, and might have a primary user and alternative users as well. The owner setting is used
by Response Point to determine which phones belong to which users.
The primary user setting is used by the phone itself and may determine features such as the display of the voice
message light. The features of the phone that are affected by the primary user setting vary from one phone to another.
Some phones do not support the primary user setting at all. Refer to the phone documentation for more information.
For example, if Rebecca Laszlo is an employee in the sales department, you can assign the “Rebecca Laszlo” user as
the primary user of the phone on her desk (which she also owns) and assign the “Sales” user as the alternative user
of that same phone.
41D-Link DVX-2000MS User Manual
Page 42
Section 2 - Installation
What Is a User?
In Response Point™, a user represents someone or something that can receive a phone call. A Response Point user
can be a person, group, job role, or location.
Person
A user most often represents a person, such as the user “Diane Margheim,” representing the person Diane Margheim.
Person users are assigned to one extension number. When a call is directed to a person user, all of the phones to
which that user is assigned will ring.
Group
A user can also represent a group of people, such as everyone in the sales department. If any salesperson can take
calls from customers, calls can be sent to the “Sales” user, meaning that the phone of every salesperson will ring when
a call comes into the department.
42D-Link DVX-2000MS User Manual
Page 43
Section 2 - Installation
Job Role
Similar to group users, you can create job role users. For example, a “Receptionist” user is useful when several people
play the role of receptionist in your business.
Location
The most abstract type of user is one that represents a location. In some cases, a caller may want to reach a location,
such as a break room, regardless of who is in the location at the time. In that case, you would create a location user
called “Break Room” with its own extension number, “Ext. 102,” for example.
43D-Link DVX-2000MS User Manual
Page 44
Section 2 - Installation
What Is an Extension Number?
In other phone systems, an extension number is often used to identify a particular phone; however, in Response Point™,
an extension number is associated with a user.
Because you can assign users to more than one phone, an extension number doesn’t uniquely identify a phone. There
also may be several users assigned to a phone with different extension numbers. Likewise, a user, with his or her own
extension number, may be assigned to more than one phone.
For example, a phone in the warehouse may have a location user called “Floor Crew” with “Extension 200” assigned
as the primary user. However, “Rebecca Laszlo” with “Extension 101” may own the phone and be assigned as an
alternative user. Calls routed to either extension number, 200 or 101, would cause the phone to ring.
What Is a Phone Line?
In Response Point, a phone line refers to the physical component that transmits calls to the phone system from a
traditional phone service provider. In other words, a phone line is the phone cable that you connect to the phone system
and plug into a phone jack. Your office may have multiple phone lines to which Response Point can distribute incoming
calls appropriately.
What Is a Phone Service?
Response Point supports traditional phone service. Phone service that is provided by phone companies, mostly through
landlines, is considered traditional phone service. This type of phone service uses analog signals, which are translated
by a phone line adapter into the Microsoft® Response Point™ phone system.

Office Scenarios
This section outlines three fictitious small businesses and how they might choose to set up their Microsoft® Response
Point™ phone system. These scenarios also detail the Response Point features that could be useful. You can choose
a scenario similar to your office and then consider the set of features that might meet your business needs.
The example scenarios include the following:
• Margie’s Travel, which has one large office space for travel agents who are on the phone for most of their
workday.
• Fourth Coffee, which has a reception area, a warehouse, a shipping area, and other work spaces.
• Southridge Video, which has several employees at a service desk and a number of phones. Any employee
who is free can answer one of the ringing phones.

Section 2 - Installation
Margie’s Travel
Margie’s Travel is like many other small businesses. There is one large office where each employee has a desk, phone,
and computer. The travel agents use their phones to place calls to and receive calls from customers.
The phone system administrator for Margie’s Travel might consider configuring the following features with Response
Point™:
• Automated Receptionist Plan to route incoming calls to the appropriate travel agent, and backup plan with an
operator taking calls when callers want to speak to a person or when the Automated Receptionist can’t understand
a caller’s request.
• Using Assistant, add or import contacts into Response Point. This would be useful, for example, so that agents
can voice dial phone numbers that they call frequently, such as repeat customers and travel vendors.
• Bypass Receptionist to allow repeat customers and vendors to reach the extension numbers of familiar agents
directly.
• External Access to allow agents to use Response Point from a remote phone.
• Enable the directory so that incoming callers can hear a list of agents and their extension numbers.
• Voice messages sent as e-mail attachments so that agents can review their voicemail from an e-mail program,
where the messages can be stored indefinitely.
• User types: person (for each individual agent) and group (for the entire team).

Fourth Coffee
Rather than one big office, Fourth Coffee operates in a building with a reception area in the front—which includes a
desk for the receptionist, an office for the owner, and another office for the office manager. Each of these work areas
has a desk, phone, and computer. In the middle of the building is a warehouse, where coffee beans are packaged.
The warehouse is flanked by two rooms with phones—a lunch room for the employees, and a shipping area where the
company tracks inventory and stores shipping information.
The phone system administrator for Fourth Coffee might consider configuring the following features with Response
Point™:
• Receptionist Plan so that the receptionist primarily answers incoming calls, and backup plan with the owner and
office manager answering calls when the receptionist is away. After hours, this business may want to switch
to the Automated Receptionist Plan, where the automated voice answers and routes calls to voicemail.
• Using Assistant, add or import contacts into Response Point. This is useful, for example, so the office manager
can voice dial phone numbers that he calls frequently, such as vendors and suppliers.
• User types: person (for the receptionist, owner, and office manager) and location (for the lunch room and shipping
area).

Southridge Video
Like Margie’s Travel, Southridge Video operates in one large office space. However, instead of individual agents who
have their own desks, phones, and computers, employees share a service desk with two computers and three phones.
Any employee who is not serving a customer can answer incoming calls on one of the ringing phones.
The phone system administrator for Southridge Video might consider configuring the following features with Response
Point™:
• Multiple Phones Ring Plan (a type of Receptionist Plan) so that all phones ring when calls comes in, and all calls
are answered by a person. After hours, this company may want to switch to the Automated Receptionist Plan to
provide callers information about business hours and location.
• Using Assistant, add or import contacts into Response Point. This would be useful, for example, so that the
employees can voice dial the phone numbers they call frequently, such as video suppliers.
• User types: job role (for the service desk), which you assign to each phone at the service desk.

Choosing Your Call Routing Plan
Administrator gives you several options for setting up a call routing plan—in other words, how incoming calls are handled.
A call routing plan determines who gets calls as they come into the Microsoft® Response Point™ phone system. Possible
call routing plans include:
Automated Receptionist Plan: An automated voice answers the calls and directs them appropriately.
Receptionist Plan: An employee in your office answers incoming calls and directs them appropriately.
49D-Link DVX-2000MS User Manual
Page 50
Section 2 - Installation
These basic call routing plans can be customized in various ways. For example:
• You can specify the Receptionist Plan but change it to the Automated Receptionist Plan before your office closes
for the day.
• You can choose the Receptionist Plan and customize it so that if your receptionist is not available to answer,
incoming calls are forwarded to another user or to the Automated Receptionist.
• You can specify that multiple phones ring when a call arrives, but exclude the guest phone in the reception
area.
• You can specify that multiple phones ring when a call arrives, but set call forwarding rules on one of the extension
numbers so that the call is forwarded to voicemail if no one answers it.

What’s New in Service Pack 1
The Microsoft Response Point 1.0 Service Pack 1 (SP1) release includes a variety of new features and functionality:
• VoIP service, offered through Internet Telephony Service Providers (ITSPs), allows you to send and receive calls
over the Internet using cost-saving VoIP technology. Implement VoIP service, analog service, or both phone service
solutions. You can set up direct-dial VoIP numbers, provided by your ITSP, which give your business multiple numbers
without the hassle and cost of setting up new phone lines.
• Upgrade firmware on phones and phone line adapters when hardware manufacturers release the latest upgrade
packages. The configuration wizard automatically detects and provisions applicable devices. Perform batch upgrades
or apply the upgrade package to selected devices only.
• Call history lets you monitor call activity so that you can analyze business trends, patterns, and expenses.
• Click to Click allows you make calls from the Assistant by double-clicking a name in the contact list.
• Status indicators show in-call and parked-call status. These new icons let you know if a user’s phone is available,
in a call, or has no status, and if any parked calls need to be retrieved.
• Park music is the default or custom audio file that callers will hear while they wait “in park,” similar to being “on
hold,” except parked calls can be retrieved from any phone configured with Response Point.
• Record answers to questions that callers frequently ask the Automated Receptionist, such as “What are your
business hours?”
• 1-800-CALL-411 is a free directory assistance service that provides business phone numbers and other quick
information. Voice-dial this service from within the U.S. only.
• Transfer parked calls directly to the voicemail box of any extension number, including your own.
• Restrict outgoing calls on phones for emergency and internal access only.

About Voice Service
Response Point supports two kinds of voice services—analog service and VoIP service. Choose the service the best
suits the needs of your business. Both voice services have VoIP technology in common. VoIP allows phone-system
components to communicate using digital signals. Electronic data packets deliver these signals to the software and
hardware that runs Response Point. However, the hardware, setup, and underlying functionality required by each service
is different. For example, analog service needs extra hardware, such as a phone line adapter (which might be built into
the base unit) or an integrated access device (IAD), whereas VoIP service only needs an Internet connection.
Note: A converter (sometimes called an “integrated access device”) might have come with the VoIP service you
purchased. The IAD translates between digital signals and analog signals. Although your phone company or other
service provider recognizes this as “VoIP service,” it appears to Response Point as “analog service” because the
interface between Response Point and the IAD is an analog one.
Analog service—commonly referred to as “PSTN,” “POTS,” or traditional phone service—is established through a
landline-based connection using standard phone jacks and cables. To use this voice service, you will need at least
one phone line adapter for Response Point to work. (The adapter might be a detached or built-in device, depending
on the manufacturer.) When an external call comes into the phone system, the phone line adapter converts incoming
analog signals to digital ones, and then sends this data to your IP phones. When you place an outgoing call, the adapter
reverses the process by converting digital signals back to analog ones, and then sends this data over your landline.
VoIP service is established by setting up an account with whichever VoIP service provider you choose. Ask your service
provider any if there are any additional requirements that you might need to consider when you deploy, maintain, and
monitor Response Point with VoIP service. After you configure a VoIP connection, your business can place calls through
an Internet connection, which may reduce the cost of long-distance and international calls. Because this service only
requires an Internet connection, no additional hardware is necessary.
Important: Security is an important factor to consider when selecting a VoIP service provider. When deciding between
available service providers, you should select the company that provides the most secure service.

Note: It’s possible that active calls may remain connected after you remove VoIP service. It may take some VoIP
service providers up to five minutes to disable your service.
Configuring Direct-Dial Numbers
If you want your business to have multiple access points, request extra VoIP phone numbers from your service provider.
Generally, you can purchase these numbers individually or in packages. Configure direct-dial numbers by assigning
them to the Response Point user who should receive the incoming calls associated with these numbers. Calls to directdial numbers go directly to the assigned user without going through the receptionist or Automated Receptionist.
For example, you might want to designate a phone number that you only give to people who are potential clients, which
can help you target new customers. In this case, you can refer these people directly to the Sales team by giving them
a direct-dial number that you have assigned to the Sales user.
Numbers that you don’t specify as direct-dial numbers automatically go to your receptionist or Automated Receptionist,
depending on which call routing plan is configured in your office.
To configure a direct-dial number
1. Contact your VoIP service provider, and obtain VoIP phone numbers to configure as direct-dial numbers.
2. Open the Configure VoIP Service Wizard, and navigate to the Do you want to assign direct-dial numbers to
users page.
3. Click Add. The Direct-Dial Number dialog box opens.

About Call History
Call history can help you evaluate important areas of your business. Using this tool, you can perform the following
administrative tasks:
• Manage employee productivity- You can determine if the call activity of your employees is appropriate. Are they
on the phone too much, not on the phone enough, placing too many personal calls?
• Review phone expenses- You can manage costs by verifying efficient usage patterns. Are employees choosing
the better voice service for local and long distance calls, during the most sensible hours?
• Monitor your customer service- You can identify the customers who are high priority, neglected, or need the
most assistance. Which customers place the most orders, haven’t received routine calls, or call frequently with
problems?
• Look for missed calls or no messages- You can check the log if you or an employee miss a call when you were
unavailable. Did an important client call, but didn’t leave a message, when you were on vacation?
• Calculate billable hours- You can track the length of your phone calls. Did you count all of the hours you spent
on the phone with a particular client?
• Collect marketing information- You can analyze business trends. Which customers called about your latest
promotion or because of an ad you ran?
Viewing Call History
A call-history log records useful information about your business. Use the data to analyze business patterns, trends,
and expenses. After you select the categories to evaluate, Administrator displays the results in the Call information
table. You can filter and sort using different criteria as many times as you want. For example, view the VoIP call activity
of an employee for the month of May. Then, change the search parameters, and view how many minutes you spent on
the phone with a particular client. The default view shows all calls for all users on the current day. For a more complex
view, save the history to a CSV file, and use Microsoft Office Excel to perform further analysis.
Important: Call durations are approximate. Total minutes will include the time a caller spent waiting in park, waiting on
hold, or being transferred.

Configuring Park Music
Music helps add a professional touch while filling the silence for callers waiting in park. Using a custom feed, you can
broadcast the music you prefer, promotional materials, or other important messages you want callers to hear. Attach
a cable from an analog audio source—such as a radio, CD player, or other sound device—to the audio jack on the
base unit, typically a “line-in” or “mic-in” jack. A custom feed plays on a continuous cycle, without a definite beginning
or ending. When you park a call, the caller will hear the audio file from where it’s currently playing, not from where the
audio file begins. Therefore, callers waiting in park hear the same thing at the same time.
Note: If your hardware doesn’t have analog jack, you will only be able to configure the default audio file.
To configure the built-in audio file
• Click Play the default music.
To configure a custom audio file
1. Use a cable to connect your radio, CD player, or other sound device to the analog jack on the base unit.
2. Click Play input connected to the audio jack on the base unit.
3. In the Input list, click Mono or Stereo, depending on the sound device you’re using. (Radios are usually mono; CD
players are usually stereo.)
4. In the Volume list, adjust the setting to the appropriate level.
Note: To prevent distortion and improve the signal-to-noise ratio of the incoming audio, adjust the volume on the analog
audio source to a medium setting.

Upgrading Software
The upgrade process involves three main components of Response Point™: the base unit, Administrator, and
Assistant.
Version Control
Response Point can only be upgraded to larger (or later) version numbers; you can never “downgrade” to a previous
version. It’s best to keep the versions of Administrator and the base unit the same. However, they get out of sync
when:
• The phone system administrator upgrades Administrator and then connects to the base unit for the first time.
• The base unit was upgraded from another computer other than the one on which this copy of Administrator is
currently running.
Depending on the situation, an upgrade of Administrator will be recommended but optional, or it will be necessary to
continue.
Upgrade Process
You may be prompted to upgrade the base unit when connecting to a base unit from Administrator. When it connects,
Administrator compares the versions of the base unit and Administrator, and displays these in the Upgrade Base Unit
dialog box if the base unit is an earlier version than Administrator.
When you click Upgrade in this dialog box, these tasks are performed:
1. A backup of the current phone system configuration and voicemail is created.
69D-Link DVX-2000MS User Manual
Page 70
Section 2 - Installation
2. A copy of the backup is created.
3. The backup is upgraded to the new version.
4. New files are uploaded to the base unit.
5. The base unit software is upgraded.
6. The upgraded configuration is restored to the base unit.
These steps may take several minutes if your phone system has many users and phones. So, don’t be alarmed if
some time passes during an upgrade. In addition, the base unit will restart in the process.
The end result of this process is that both Administrator and the base unit are upgraded to the same version. The
Assistant program must then be upgraded on each computer on which Assistant is installed.
If the version of the base unit is a later version than Administrator, you’ll see a message telling you whether an upgrade
is mandatory or optional.

Understanding Information Storage and Retrieval
It may be important to understand how the Response Point™ base unit stores and retrieves information. The base unit
is the device that manages phone system data. For Response Point to work properly, the base unit must transfer data
between your computers, phones, phone line adapters, the phone system software, and your office LAN. During this
exchange process, the base unit stores and retrieves information. Review this topic to learn how the base unit specifically
handles your information.
What information is stored and for how long?
Voice messages that you retrieve by phone are stored on the base unit for up to 30 days from the time a caller leaves
you a voice message, not from the time you save a voice message. In addition, the base unit must keep a minimum
amount of free space available to function efficiently. Voicemail files older than 15 days may be deleted if the base unit
does not have enough free space. If you would like to guarantee that Response Point will not delete a voice message
after 15 days, you should choose to receive voice messages as e-mail attachments. Voice messages sent as e-mail
attachments are not stored on the base unit, and therefore they are not deleted by the base unit after any period of
time.
• When voice messages are restored from a backup, any voice messages older than 30 days will be deleted. If the
base unit does not have enough free space, voice messages older than 15 days may also be deleted.
• Base unit and extension number passwords are stored on the base unit indefinitely, or until the user who is
associated with this information is removed from the phone system.
• User-entered data is stored on the base unit indefinitely, or until the user who is associated with this information
is removed from the phone system. This data includes names, phone numbers, e-mail addresses, and personal
contact information.
• E-mail server password is stored on the base unit indefinitely, or until the phone system administrator removes
it. (This only applies if the phone system administrator configures Response Point to send voice messages as
e-mail attachments.)
71D-Link DVX-2000MS User Manual
Page 72
Section 2 - Installation
Where is this information stored?
All data is stored on the physical device, which is why it’s important to keep the base unit in a secured location with
restricted access.
What information can I prevent from being stored?
If you do not want your voice messages stored on the base unit, you can configure Response Point™ to send your
voice messages as e-mail attachments. With this configuration, your voice messages are stored in your e-mail program
instead of on the base unit.
How do I erase this information?
The Response Point product CD comes with the Erase Data program (“ResponsePointEraseData.exe”)—a tool that the
phone system administrator can use to permanently delete all data stored on the base unit. You might want to erase
all personal information from the physical device if you are giving it to someone else.

Checking the Status of the Phone System
Phone system information is available on the Base Unit and Phone System pages of Administrator.
On the Base Unit page, you can view the status of the connection; the availability of storage space, particularly for
voicemail storage; and the log of events that occurred on the base unit, including errors, warnings, and information.
To view the status of the phone system:
1. Click the Base Unit button.
2. Review information under the Status of Base Unit, Storage Space Use, and Properties sections.
3. Click available options in these sections, or in the Tasks panel, for more information about the base unit
settings.
Configuring IPSEC
If your office LAN is configured to use Internet Protocol security (IPSec), we recommend that you:
1. Configure the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server for the LAN to always assign the same IP
address to the base unit.
2. Configure the IPSec policy on the LAN to allow unsecure inbound and outbound communication with the IP
address of the base unit.

Using Microsoft Response Point Administrator
Microsoft Response Point Administrator is the program used to configure and monitor the Microsoft® Response Point™
phone system. The tasks you may want to do include: adding phones and users to and deleting them from the phone
system; backing up the base unit on a regular basis; changing the password of the base unit; and determining how
incoming calls are handled.
This section gives you in-depth information about phones, users, voicemail, phone service, the base unit, and call
routing plans. You’ll learn step-by-step instructions for managing these components of Response Point and how to set
up a phone system configuration that’s best for your business.
Phones
With Response Point, you’ll use a phone with the special Response Point button. When pressed, this button gives you
access to features, such as parking and retrieving, when you say the voice commands, “Transfer” and “Retrieve.” It also
connects you to the Automated Receptionist and allows you to voice dial your contacts.
The phones listed on the Phone System page of Administrator have been added to the phone system. You can add,
edit, and remove phones using commands in the Tasks panel, or by right-clicking on a phone that is displayed in the
list.

Removing a Phone
You can remove a phone from the Response Point™ phone system. You may want to do this if the phone is no longer
working, for example. Removing a phone does not change the settings on the phone itself; however, the base unit will
no longer recognize it, and it must be reconfigured if you add it to the phone system again.
If you just want to move a phone to another location, do not remove the phone through Administrator; just unplug it
instead. When the phone is unplugged, the base unit reports that it is no longer responding and flags it on the Phone
System page of Administrator. However, the phone configuration is maintained by the base unit so that when it is
plugged back in, the phone is registered with the base unit as before. No additional configuration is needed.
To remove a phone:
1. Click the Phone System button.
2. In the Tasks panel, click Remove Phone.
3. Click the phone you want to remove, and then click OK.

Phone Service
Response Point supports traditional phone service, which is the landline-based phone service that uses phone jacks
and analog signals to make connections between two calling parties. The phone line adapter, listed on the Phone
System page, translates analog signals to phones, and digital information back to analog signals when calls are sent
out over landline phones. To use traditional phone service, you will need to configure at least one phone line adapter
for Response Point to work.
For access to commands where you can add, edit, and remove phone services, go to the Phone System page in
Administrator.

Adding Phone Service
You can use traditional phone service with Response Point for inbound and outbound calls. It uses hard-wired lines
to connect your business to the worldwide phone system. Your office may have one or more landline phone lines.
To set up phone service, you need a phone line adapter, which translates the analog signal coming from the landline
phone line to Response Point. Likewise, it takes the outgoing digital signals from the phone system and translates
them to analog signals that can be sent over landlines. To place outbound calls, you must first dial 9 and then the
phone number.
To add phone service:
1. Click the Phone System button.
2. In the Tasks panel, under Phone Service, click Add Phone Service.
3. Complete the steps of the Configure Phone Service Wizard, and click Finish.
To edit an existing line of service:
1. Click the Phone System button.
2. In the Tasks panel, under Phone Service, click Edit Phone Service and select the adapter for the service that you
want to edit.
3. Complete the steps of the Configure Phone Service Wizard, and click Finish.

Base Unit
The base unit is a dedicated device connected to your office LAN. It’s an essential component because it handles the
Microsoft® Response Point™ phone system. The base unit is managed using Administrator, where you can back it up,
change settings, and monitor events and errors, among other tasks.
Viewing the Event Log
The event log details errors, warnings, and information about activity on the base unit. For example, you can see when
an internal error occurred or when a restore or upgrade action was completed. You can also see when an employee
attempted to log on with an incorrect password and other such events.
Some events are monitored in other parts of the program, as well as in the event log. For example, space allocated to
voicemail is reported under Storage Space Use on the Base Unit page.
To view the event log:
1. Click the Base Unit button.
2. In the Tasks panel, under Status, click View Event Log.
3. Review the event summary and list of events.
4. Filter the events, as needed, using options in the Show list.
5. Click Base Unit Performance for more information about the base unit.
Note: To see more details about an event, double-click the row in which it appears.

Viewing Storage Space Detail
You can review how much total space on the base unit is being used for voicemail files and how much is still available.
You can also see how much space is used for voicemail files by each Response Point user.
This information is helpful for determining when the base unit is getting near storage capacity and when you need to
ask users to delete some or all of their voice messages or contacts.
If storage is becoming an issue, ask users to do one or more of the following:
• Delete their voicemail, or switch to receiving voicemail as e-mail.
• Delete contacts that they don’t use often for voice dialing or phone numbers they’ve configured for Bypass
Receptionist.
There is a minimum of 75 MB free space maintained at all times on the base unit. If the base unit detects that it does
not have the minimum required free space, groups of files will be deleted until the minimum required free space is
reached. These files are deleted in this order:
1. All files in the temporary folder on the base unit.
2. All personal contacts.
3. All voicemail older than 15 days.
Note: This information also appears under Storage Space Use in the Base Unit page.

Changing the Base Unit Password
It’s a good idea to change the password of the base unit regularly to help maintain system security. The base unit
password is used by the person who administers the Microsoft® Response Point™ phone system using Administrator.
Consider changing the default password (admin) right away.
Note: The base unit password can be a maximum of 256 characters. Password-cracking software, given enough time,
can discover any password; however, it can take months to crack a strong password. Consequently, it’s a good idea to
use a strong password and change it regularly.
For a password to be strong, it should be at least seven characters long. Because of the way passwords are encrypted,
the most secure passwords are 7 or 14 characters long. Your password should contain letters (A, B, C, a, b, c…) and
numerals (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9) and symbols (` ~ ! @ # $ % ^ & * ( ) _ + -= { } | [ ] \ : “ ; ‘ < > ? , . /).
For a password to be strong, it should:
• Have at least one symbol character in the second through sixth positions.
• Be significantly different from prior passwords.
• Not contain your name or user name.
• Not be a common word or name.
To change the base unit password:
1. Click the Base Unit button.
2. In the Tasks panel, under Properties, click Change Password.
3. In the Current password box, type the current password (the default is admin).
4. In the New password and Confirm password boxes, type the new password.
5. Click OK.

Configuring the E-Mail Server
Your e-mail server can be configured to work with Response Point. Configuring an e-mail server allows you to set up
voicemail so that voice messages can be sent as attachments to e-mail. Before configuring the e-mail server, you’ll
need to establish a high-speed Internet connection with an Internet service provider.
To configure the e-mail server:
1. Click the Base Unit button.
2. In the Tasks panel, under Properties, click Configure E-Mail Server.
3. In the Configure E-Mail Server dialog box, select options or enter information as appropriate, and click OK.
To verify that the server name and connection information is correct:
1. Configure your user account in the Assistant program to send voice messages as e-mail attachments.
2. Call your extension number from another phone, and leave a voice message for yourself.
3. Open your e-mail program, and verify that you received it.
4. Double-click the WAV file to hear your test message.
Note: If you do not receive the e-mail message with attached voicemail file, check the event log to see if there was a
failure in connecting to the e-mail server or sending e-mail. Also, check the junk e-mail folder in your e-mail program to
make sure the message wasn’t filtered as spam. It may be necessary to add the sending e-mail address to your “safe
sender” list.
