1 FaxMemo Features and Functions

FaxMemo is an optional feature that allows VoiceMemo users and outside callers to exchange faxes through user mailboxes and special mailboxes. It consists of one or more FaxMemo cards and software integral to the Centigram Series 6 Communication Server, and provides a set of fax-related features and limits that you can assign to VoiceMemo mailboxes.

In a common fax transmission, the sender inserts a document into the sending fax machine. The document is scanned and sent as data to the receiving fax machine, where it is printed out, as shown in Figure l-l.

With FaxMemo, fax documents are stored electronically as “fax messages” in VoiceMemo mailboxes. From there, faxes can be delivered to any fax machine at any

time, distributed to other mailboxes, sent over a network, or viewed on a PC

(requires the OneView optional feature). Figure l-2 shows the basic operation of

FaxMemo Features and Functions

FaxMemo overcomes many of the problems inherent in typical fax communication:

Callers sending a fax do not have to wait due to the receiving fax machine being busy with another transmission.

Faxes are stored in password-protected user mailboxes. Faxes do not sit at the fax machine for anyone to read.

Recipients receive notification when a new fax arrives. Incoming faxes do not sit for days because recipients do not know they are there.

Faxes can be annotated with voice messages (also called voice coversheets), relieving the sender of typing out explanatory notes.

The recipient decides when and where a fax is printed out. a FaxMemo user away from the office could call his VoiceMemo mailbox and direct a fax, deposited there by someone else, to be delivered to his

hotel, the airport, or wherever there is a convenient fax machine. After reading the fax, he could call back into his mailbox and send the fax to another party, perhaps a prospect waiting for a quotation.

For a description of end-user features and functions, see the User Gaidefor

VoiceMemo and Fdmo.

FaxMemo Applications

FaxMemo applications include Fax Mail, Fax Broadcast, Guaranteed Fax, Fax Publishing, and Walkaway Fax. You can use one or more of these applications, in any combination. For more information about planning and configuring these applications, see the “Sofiware Configuration Planning” chapter.

Fax Mail

Fax Mail is the most general and widely used application of FaxMemo. With Fax Mail, incoming faxes are stored electronically as “fax messages” in a user’s mailboxthe same mailbox that stores voice messages. Users are then notified of their new fax messages in the same manner as with voice messages (for example, message waiting light, pager, stutter dial tone).

For example,

l-2

By calling into their mailboxes, users can retrieve their fax messages at any time by sending them to any fax machine. In addition, users can call into their mailboxes from fax phones and retrieve their fax messages “online” at that fax machine. Users

of Fax Mail have the same options that are available to them through voice mail: fax messages can be played, answered,

given to another mailbox, distribution list, or

off-system telephone (fax> number.

Page 16

Fax Broadcast

Guaranteed Fax

FaxMemo Feanues and Functions

Fax Broadcast allows a user to make and send a fax message simultaneously to multiple destinations using a distribution list. The destinations can include any other users’ mailboxes, users on another VoiceMemo system connected with Centigram’s MESA-Net digital network, or outside telephone numbers. For example, a product manager could disseminate price changes to the sales force with a copy of the new price list and an attached voice message explaining the changes. Fax Broadcast messages can be scheduled for future delivery (when rates are lower), and the Series 6 server can automatically retry calls to numbers that are busy or do not answer.

with FaxMemo, delivery of incoming faxes can be guaranteed even when the company or department fax machine is busy, runs out of paper, or is otherwise disabled. One or more Guaranteed Fax mailboxes are assigned to a hunt group with

the fax machine. When the machine is busy, the incoming faxes are routed to and stored in the mailboxes; the caller never realizes that the fax did not go directly to a fax machine. The mailboxes then automatically and continually try to deliver the stored faxes to the same or another f$x machine.

Fax Publishing

Walkaway Fax

You can configure a FaxMemo mailbox to deliver a voice message and a fax to any

caller on reaching the mailbox. This provides a convenient way to publish frequently requested information to employee users, customers, or any outside callers.

The caller can reach the mailbox containing the appropriate information directly or

be led by voice prompts through a mailbox tree or chain structure. The mailbox containing the fax can do either of the following:

Play a voice coversheet or a menu or both, giving the caller the choice to

either receive the fax online or enter a telephone number for delivery of the fax.

Immediately begin transmitting the fax.

Walkaway Fax appears to the sender exactly like a regular fax machine. With this

feature, callers dial a telephone number (from a fax machine or a PC running fax software) and immediately send a fax, without a voice coversheet, directly into a user’s mailbox. Callers do not have to respond to prompts or monitor the call. The walkaway Fax Mailbox listens for fax tone while playing a greeting, and if detected, receives the incoming fax. If none is detected, normal message recording ensues.

(via the User Options Menu). The system sends the personal cover page

with any fax sent from the mailbox to a telephone number. Faxes

retrieved online do not include a cover page.

The system can send a company cover page. If a cover page is put in the administrator’s mailbox, it becomes the cover page for all faxes sent from that line group for all mailboxes that do not have a personal cover page. You can assign separate administrator’s mailboxes, each with a different

cover page, to each outbound line group with fax capability.

3. The system generates a default cover page for any mailboxes that do not have a personal or company cover page. The default cover page contains the following information:

A “To” field showing the name of the sending mailbox

A “From” field, indicating the system or service that the fax was

sent from (optional)

The number of pages in the fax

A time field, showing the time that the fax was sent, including a

time zone designator

The date that the fax was sent from the mailbox (not the date the fax was sent to the mailbox)

A promotional or greeting message of up to 60 characters

(optional)

Note:

If feature bit 200 is not enabled for a mailbox, the system does not send any cover page.

Billing and Statistics

The Series 6 server keeps records of fax traffic, both at the system and mailbox level. Mailbox owners can be billed for faxes sent and.received, either in terms of the

number of faxes, or in terms of the total number of pages

Series 6 servers offer two other methods of billing mailbox owners for fax usage. transactions are recorded in Call to a computerized billing system for interpretation and billing. Or the server can place fax calls using mailbox owners’ long distance carriers and calling card numbers. This can eliminate the need for any further billing, because there is no toll incurred by the server.

Because MVIP fax cards are not physically attached to an individual line or line card, they can communicate over the MVIP bus with any line card.

In this way, they can

serve as a fax resource to any line card. MVIP fax cards can be a dynamicallyallocated resource pool for several line card groups, or they can be assigned to a single

line group. When a fax group is assigned to a line group and the number of fax channels is the same as the number of line ports, the fax group is dedicated fax group, there is always a fax resource available for every line port.

Series 6 Server Requirements

FaxMemo can be installed and enabled in any Series 6 server with VoiceMemo Release 5.02 Revision A software or later. Your system must have Release 6.0 or later to use MSQP FaxMemo cards that work with line cards on the MVIP bus.

Your system must have one empty card slot for each FaxMemo card to be installed.

You must take the sewer out of service for about I5 to 30 minutes for FaxMemo

card installation. The total time required depends on the number of FaxMemo cards that you will iustall. tier you install the hardware and configure the software, you must activate the new corr&uration, resulting in a momentary loss of call processing capabilities.

Note:

If your Series G server was ordered as a new system with the FaxMemo optional feature, the FaxMemo cards and software were installed at the factory.

2 Planning Outside Caller Access

With the FaxMemo optional feature, outside callers can leave fax messages for

mailbox owners just as if they were sending a fax to a fax machine. instances, callers believe they are dialing directly to a fax machine, and are not prepared to perform any special functions to deliver a fax. Therefore, for the fax mail application to be effective, the system must allow the callers to deposit faxes into the appropriate mailboxes without any unexpected requirements.

In most non-service provider FaxMemo installations, mailbox owners have two mailboxes on the system. The first is their standard mailbox where they receive and play their messages. The second is a broadcast mailbox with walkway fk enabled which is transparent to the mailbox owner and automatically sends fax messages into the mailbox’owner’s standard mailbox upon message receipt, as shown in Figure 2-1. The reason for the broadcast mailbox is to allow mailbox owners to publish a

telephone number where callers can send a fax directly to them. This second number goes directly to the broadcast mailbox without first ringing at any telephone. This allows for a situation that is familiar to both the caller and the mailbox owner.

Figure 2-l The Broadcast Fax Mailbox Setup

There are several ways that callers sending faxes can be routed to the correct

mailboxes. These include DID routing, Switch Integration routing, Switch Tie

Trunk Integration routing, and General Access. It is possible to combine two or

more of these methods to meet user needs and cost requirements.

2-1

Page 23

Planning Outside Caller Access

Note:

DID Fax Call Routing

The simplest routing method is to connect a second FaxMemo-equipped inbound

line group to DID trunks directly from the CO. In this scenario, each mailbox owner that has fax mail capability is provided with a DID telephone number that allows a caller to deposit a fax message, or voice and fax message, into a broadcast mailbox on the system. Because the DID method involves additional trunks from the central office that bypass the PBX, it can be used in any &itch environment. It does incur the expense of the DID lines and DID numbers for all users with FaxMemo capability. Figure 2-2 shows this configuration.

and Messages

The primary purpose of the call routing scenarios in this chapter is to show possible switch connections. There are many ways to

configure line groups and assign fax resources. Fax resources can be dedicated to a single lime group or shared by inbound and outbound line groups.

DID Fax Call Routing

Switch Integration Fax Call Routing

Fax Mail is supported by most of Centigram’s PBX and Centrex integrations. Switch integration works the same way as DID fax call routing in that the caller is directed immediately to the appropriate mailbox. This method requires every person with Fax Mail capability to have a-second DID number (both CO and PBX) that

2-2

Page 24

goes to a software-only phantom extension on the PBX. The phantom extension numbers must correspond to the broadcast mailbox numbers, and must be hardforwarded to the VoiceMemo pilot number. This method of fax call routing is shown in Figure 2-3.

The advantage of this method is that fax calls are answered immediately by the

desired party’s FaxMemo broadcast mailbox, and it does not require any trunks directly from the central office. However, it does require the expense of an additional DID number for each mailbox owner with fax capability.

Not all switches support a phantom extension capability. If your switch does not support this, then you must use another method If your switch supports multiple in-bound line groups, you can use the second method of switch integration.

Switch TIE Trunk Integration Fax Call Routing

This method utilixes the tandem switching capabilities of many PBXs. If the integration routing method is not supported by your switch, this method still allows you to use a line group to the switch from the CO, but could require additional

cards in the PBX This method also requires everyone with fax capabiliry to have a

second DID number from the CO.

When the switch receives a call on one of the DID lines, it passes the call and its related information to the Series 6 server over a set of TIE trunks. The call information allows the server to connect the caller to the appropriate mailbox. Figure 2-5 shows this method of fax call routing.

One disadvantage of TIE trunk integration is that many PBXs do not allow callers to transfer on TIE trunks. If most of the calls on these trunks are fax calls though, few

callers need to transfer.

General Access Fax Call Routing

The alternative to DID or switch integration routing is to have a single fax message number that, upon answering, requests that the caller enter the mailbox number of the party who will receive the fax. inbound line group. The advantage of this access method is the security arid screening that it offers, since only those who know the mailbox number can access it. This method is available on any PBX or key system with no special hardware or software requirements.

How Fax

Cards and

Fax cards and line cards work together to provide fax services on a Series 6 server.

The line card handles all line signaling, supetision, and voice/f+ transmissions.

The fax cards have no direct connection to telephone services, but communicate with the line cards over the MVIP bus, as shown in Figure 3-l.

line Cards Communicate

MVIP Buss

Figure 3-l Fax Card to line Card Communication

A voice port requests a fax resource over the ANIP bus when it detects an incoming

fax tone during a walkaway fax call session or when a user pushes a key to leave a fax.

3-1

Page 29

Hardware Installation Planning

Once an association with a fax channel is made, the voice port passes all fax-related data to the fax channel, which converts it into a format suitable for storage on the system hard disks. When the fax transmission/reception is complete, the voice port releases the fax channel and continues with the call session. The fax channel is immediately available to service other voice ports.

FaxMemo Application Port Requirements

Each FaxMemo application has unique requirements for fax-equipped ports on a Series 6 server. You can combine any or all FaxMemo applications on the same line groups, provided you allow enough FaxMemo cards to carry the call traf&.

Fax Port Planning for Fax Mail

For general purpose Fax Mail between outside callers and mailbox owners, and between mailbox owners, you need fax groups connected with both inbound and outbound line groups. The requirements parallel those for voice message handling. Inbound line groups with fax are required for outside callers or users depositing faxes in mailboxes and for users retrieving faxes online. Outbound line groups with fz are required for users to deliver their faxes to a fax machine, or to send a fax to an offsystem number. (The “give fax message” option is handled by software and does not use a fax port.)

Fax Port Planning for Fax Broadcast

Fax Broadcast is like Fax Mail, but with many recipients for each fax message. Broadcast allows a user to send a fax message to a number of people by using the

VoiceMemo distribution list features. The sender uses an inbound fax-equipped

port to send the fax to a personal distribution list or to a master broadcast mailbox. The server distributes the fax directly to on-system users (no fax port is needed for distribution). Fax groups connected with inbound and outbound line groups are required for users to retrieve their faxes as described in Fax Mail.

If users broadcast often to off-system numbers, you must size the system with the appropriate number of outdialing ports that can use fax resources.

Fax Port Planning for Guaranteed Fax

In Guaranteed Fax, you include FaxMemo mailboxes in a hunt group with company or department fax machines to handle the overflow when the machines are busy or out of service. Guaranteed Fax requires an inbound line group with fax for the mailboxes on the hunt group. Faxes outbound from these mailboxes to fax machines need outbound fax port capability. port capability to Fax Mail or Fax Broadcast outbound ports.

Fax

If traffic allows, you can assign the outbound

Page 30

Fax Port Planning for Fax Publishing

A Fax Publishing application usually has some number of documents stored in special fau mailboxes on the Series G server. Callers that reach the system use their push-button phones to request that certain documents be faxed to them. Fax

Publishing requires a minimum number of fax channels connected with inbound line groups to place the documents in the system for retrieval.

If you allow callers to receive the fax documents online (that is, while calling from a fax machine), you need fax groups connected with an inbound line group. If you require callers to input the phone number of their fax machine for delivery, you only need fax groups connected with an outbound line group. If you offer callers their choice of methods, you need fax groups for both inbound and outbound line groups. You might require dedicated fax groups, depending on the number of calls expected and the number of faxes published sirnultaneonsly.

Fax Port Planning for Walkaway Fax

Walkaway Fax is a special feature that you can activate for Fax Mail, Fax Broadcast,

and Guaranteed Fax applications. When Walkaway Fax is activated, callers can send from a normal fax machine (or PC with a fax card) to the Series G server just as if they were sending to another fax machine - they do not need to listen or respond to any voice prompts before sending a fax.

Hardware Installation Planning

Walkaway Fax by itself only requires fax groups connected with inbound line groups to deposit faxes. Depending on which other FaxMemo applications you are using with Walkaway Fax, mailbox owners may be able to use the same inbound line

group to retrieve the faxes on line, or you may need fax groups on an outbound line

group so that users can deliver their faxes to fax machines.

FaxMemo Hardware Configuration Rules

Rule #l: Every voice port that either sends or rece’nres a fax must have

It is easier to plan fax cards if you familiarize yourself with these five hardware

configuration rules.

access to a fax channel.

Any call that either deposits a fax or retrieves a fax message on line (caller is calling

from a fax phone) must be answered by a voice port with access to a fax channel. Likewise, any outbound call that delivers a fax must be made from a voice port with access to a fax channel. Voice ports in line groups that are not assigned to a fax

group cannot send or receive faxes.

Fax channels do not have to be assigned in a one-to-one relationship with voice ports. Because the FaxMemo cards use the h4VIP bus to communicate with the line

cards and do not have direct connections to specific phone lines, any channel on a FaxMemo card addition, fax channels are allocated dynamically - once a channel completes a session, it is available to service another session on another port.

See rule #2 and rule #3 for more information on assigning fax channels to voice

ports.

can service any port on any line

card in the same module. In

Rule #2: A fax group can be shared by more than one line group.

A fax group (a defined set of fax channels) can be assigned to more than one line

group, and its channels are then shared by the voice ports in those line groups. Fax groups can be shared by both inbound and outbound line groups. Figure 3-2 shows a shared fax group.

There can be more voice ports than fax channels - the fax channels are allocated as

they are needed for the different call sessions. If all of the fax channels in the fax

group are in use by call sessions and another call session requests a fax resource, the

system informs the caller that the fax cannot be sent/received.

Rule #3: A fax group must be dedicated to a line group to guarantee

availability of a fax resource.

When there is a one-to-one relationship between the number of voice ports in a line

group and the number of channels in its associated fax group, the fax group is considered line groups that carry a lot of fax tra%c will never be unable to get a fix resource.

Rule #4:

Rule #5:

Line groups connected to fax groups can still perForm all other VoiceMemo functions.

Ports that are equipped for FaxMemo can per&m any VoiceMemo function. For example, the same outbound line group that delivers faxes can also make message delivery and paging calls. L&wise, the same line group that performs telephone answering functions can also receive inbound faxes. There is no need to dedicate line

groups to perform FaxMemo functions.

It may be a better use of system resources to have a separate line group for some fax applications.

In most FaxMemo installations, every line group in the system does not need a dedicated fax group. The only time a fax channel is absolutely required on an inbound call is when a caller sends a fax. The only time a fax channel is required on an outbound call is when the system needs to deliver a fax.

For some fax applications, such as Fax Mail, a fairly low percentage of calls involve fax transactions. The fax traffic for these applications probably can be carried by a

single fax group that is shared by incoming and outgoing line groups. of fax channels in the fax group should be large enough to provide an acceptable grade of service to fax callers.

The number

For other fax applications, such as Fax Publishing, it is likely that every call involves a fax transaction. You may want to have a separate line group for these applications

and dedicate a fax group to the line group so that there is always a fax channel for

every voice port. The line group may be incoming or outgoing, depending on whether callers must call in from a fax machine and receive faxes online (incoming),

or whether they can enter a phone number for the fax to be delivered (outgoing).

By configuring some fax groups as shared and others as dedicated, you can utilize

your fax resources to provide an appropriate grade of service for each fax application.

Note:

If a caller on an inbound line group tries to send a fax when there are no resources available, the system plays a prompt telling the caller that it cannot process the request at that time. fax resources available for an outgoing fax call, the server retries the call (according to LCOS settings) until one is available.

4 Software Configuration Planning

This chapter is designed to help you plan the changes that you must make to your software configuration when you add FaxMemo applications to your Series 6 server. It describes all of the software options for FaxMemo, and explains how they are used in the various applications.

Planning Your FaxMemo Configuration

Before you can configure any FaxMemo applications, you must first assign fax groups to any line groups that will carry fax traffic. You can then plan and configure the applications you choose to enable, including any of the following tasks:

Assign fax options to existing classes of service (COSs)

Update current mailboxes and create fax broadcast mailboxes (if required) for each new FaxMemo user

Create Fax Publishing mailbox trees and/or chains

Create and configure Guaranteed Fax mailboxes

Create master fax distribution (broadcast) lists

Create and store a company fax cover page

Each of these tasks is covered in detail under the application name.

Off line Configuration

After you install the FaxMemo cards but before you assign fax features to COSs, you

must create fax groups and then associate (connect) the fax groups with line groups. The FaxMemo Card Planning Worksheet from the previous chapter has spaces for the information that you need. Use the most recent Configuration Report to determine which line groups to connect with fax groups.

FaxMemo Classes of Service (COSs)

The system administration menus contain FaxMemo configuration parameters for feature, limit, and network classes of service (FCOS, LCOS, and NCOS). All of

4-1

Page 87

Sofmwe Configuration Planning

these options are described below. Read through their descriptions before completing the remaining worksheets. Some of the options are similar to those for

voice messaging, but some are unique to fax handling. When you assign a FaxMemo

feature to a mailbox, the appropriate user and outside caller prompts are enabled automatically. The voice prompts are described in the User Guidefor VoiceMemo

and FaxMemo.

Fax Features

The feature bits described below are included with FaxMemo.

190 Receive fax messages

This feature allows a mailbox to receive fax messages. When callers reach the

mailbox, they are first prompted to leave a voice message, then prompted to press L to leave a fax with the voice message. Callers can ignore the message prompt and

press L to leave a fax without a voice coversheet. When the user accesses the

mailbox, the user is informed that there is a message with a fax there and given options to retrieve the fax online or direct the fax to a fax machine after hearing the

voice message.

Note:

The mailboxes must also include one or more of the fax delivery features stored in the mailboxes.

If feature bit 240 is enabled, callers do not needto press L to begin sending a fax; the system will detect an incoming fax when it does not hear speech.

(193,

This FaxMemo feature allows users who are able to receive faxes in their mailboxes to forward the faxes along with voice comments directly to other users or to outside lines. They cannot include another fax as a comment.

Note:

This feature requires feature bit 190.

Page 88

193 Deliver fax to default fax phone number

This feature allows a user to have faxes delivered to a personal (default) fax telephone

number after listening to the voice annotation. This number can be a department or company fax machine and is entered by the system administrator during configuration. When the user selects this option, another menu is played giving further options to schedule delivery, cancel delivery, or deliver the fax now.

Note:

This feature requires feature bit 194 and/or 195.

198 Receive fax messages only

This feature prevents a mailbox from receiving voice messages and allows it to receive only fax messages. It is used for both Guaranteed Fax and broadcast mailboxes in Fax Mail. No greeting or prompts are played to the calling pyty and only faxes are recorded. A fax session starts immediately when the server arkvers the call.

A Guaranteed Fax mailbox must have both this bit and message delivery enabled.

Fax cover page

This feature causes the system to send a cover page with outgoing faxes. The cover page identifies the user as the fax recipient at the company or department fax machine. Mailbox owners can fax a personal cover page into their mailboxes which th e system sends each time they retrieve faxes. When a cover page is deposited in the

system administrator’s mailbox, it becomes the company fax cover page and it is delivered with faxes retrieved by users who do not have a personal cover page. If

neither a personal cover page nor a company cover page is available, the system

generates a default cover page.

If this bit is not enabled in an FCOS, the system does not send any cover sheet with outgoing faxes.

203 Walkaway fax

A mailbox with this feature is set to expect calls from fax machines rather than from

live callers. When a call is routed to a mailbox with this feature, CNG detection is enabled while the mailbox greeting is playing. If the system detects fax tone, it processes the incoming fax. If it does not detect fax tone, it plays the recorded mailbox greeting and prompts. This permits callers immediately send a fax without a voice coversheet, and without having to respond to prompts or monitor the call.

This feature is assigned to Guaranteed Fax mailboxes which are on the same hunt group as the fax machines. It checks incoming faxes with those already stored in the mailbox to prevent the same fax from rotating through the hunt group and getting stored in the mailbox again when the fax machine is down or busy.

230 Deny change to fax cover page

This feature disables a mailbox owner’s ability to create a personal fax cover page. If

feature bit 200 is enabled, the system will send either a company cover page (if one has been placed in the administrator’s mailbox) or the system default cover page. This feature has no effect if bit 200 is not enabled.

237 Automatic fax retrieval

This feature allows the mailbox owner to have faxes downloaded automatically to a preconfigured default fax number when faxes arrive in the mailbox. The fax or voice/fax message is automatically moved to the saved queue and the message waiting indicator is not triggered. This feature is intended to make it easier for mailbox owners who regularly use the same fax machine to retrieve their faxes. The mailbox owner can also enable or disable this feature from the user options menu.

Note:

When this feature is active, the mailbox owner should check the

target fax machine frequently, since fax messages will not activate a message waiting indicator.

This feature overrides feature bit 206 (Discard fax message after delivery). 206 is for guaranteed fax mailboxes only. Do not include both bits in the same FCOS.

238 End of session delivery

This feature is invisible to users. However, it allows the system administrator to save on outbound fax calls. Instead of making an outbound call for each fax, this feature enables the system to make only one outbound call for all faxes sent to the same number during a mailbox session.

Like all other types of outbound calls, outbound FaxMemo calls are controlled by the Restriction Class of Service of the sending mailbox. A mailbox owner cannot have a fax delivered to a phone number that is blocked in their RCOS.

Adding FaxMemo Options to COSs

Add FaxMemo options to mailboxes exactly as you would voice message options. You can include them in existing or new FCOSs, LCOSs, and NCOSs. You must

Software Configuration Planning

A sample FaxMemo COS Planning Worksheet follows this section. Blank

worksheets are in Appendix A for photocopying. The Fax FCOS and NCOS bits and names are included at the top of the worksheet for your reference.

If you add fax features to an existing COS without renumbering the COS, the existing mailboxes with that COS assigned take on the added fax features. If you create a new COS by copying an existing one and modifying it, you must assign the new COS to mailboxes (see “FaxMemo Mailboxes”).

Note that there are entries for users’ standard mailboxes and users’ broadcast fax mailboxes. If a user is likely to receive many fax calls, he or she should probably have a separate extension for faxes that has an associated broadcast mailbox. The broadcast mailbox contains a distribution list consisting of only the user’s standard

FaxMemo Mailboxes

The planning and configuration for mailboxes for each FaxMemo application is slightly different. This section contains information about mailboxes for each application, and sample worksheets to help in planning.

Note:

You can add Walkaway Fax to any of the other FaxMemo

applications by enabling the appropriate feature bits in an FCOS.

Fax Mail Mailbox Configuration

The Fax Mail Mailbox Worksheet associates mailboxes with COSs. A sample worksheet for this purpose is shown below. The worksheet section at the end of this manual contains worksheets for photocopying. List all the mailbox owners and their current mailbox numbers on the sheet. Add the new COS numbers for the current mailboxes. If you are going to use broadcast mailboxes, add those mailbox numbers and the COSs to be assigned to them. Remember that the broadcast mailboxes must be new boxes. If possible, use a numbering scheme for the broadcast mailboxes that

is easy for the users to remember when they need to give their fax numbers out to callers.

application to give a voice only information message, such as the initial welcome greeting to callers.

Fax on demand

Use a greeting only mailbox with bits 194, 195, and 197 to permit callers

to receive a prestored fax online or at a caller-designated number.

Fax only A fax only mailbox plays any greeting and immediately prepares to

receive a fax. This can be used in larger fax publishing or audiotext

applications to allow the caller to input a fax message.

A sample Fax Publishing Mailbox Worksheet is shown on the next page. Blank worksheets for photocopying are at the back of this manual. For tree and chain

publishing, you need a separate worksheet for each mailbox. Number the worksheets and fill the sheet numbers in the “Continue on Sheet” or “Go to Sheet” columns, so

you can follow the progression through the tree or chain.

Write out the greeting, if any, that you want recorded in the mailbox. Enter a

description or title of the fax document you want stored in the fax transmittal mailbox or attach it to the worksheet.
