OVERVIEW

The SVMi-4 System

The SVMi-4 is a self contained plug in voice mail and auto attendant card for the DCS compact and DCS 50si. It is designed to meet the demands of the sophisticated voice mail user without sacrificing simplicity.
The SVMi-4 May act as an Auto Attendant system only, a Voice mail system only or both.
Out of the box the SVMi-4 can handle 2 calls simultaneously. It can be easily upgraded to handle up to 4 calls simultaneously.
No external line or power connections are neces­sary, these are accomplished directly through the phone system.
At this time of this writing the memory capacity is about 5 hours, although changes in technology will allow for additional storage as time goes on.
General Description - Page 7

Auto Attendant

The SVMi-4 Auto attendant works by automatically answering calls and playing a custom greeting to the caller along with some dialing instructions. The caller may then press digits on the keypad to direct the call to the appropriate person or department.
The SVMi-4 Auto attendant replaces or works in conjunction with your system operator by answering calls with a pre recorded greeting, and offering the caller a several possible dialing options including dialing another extension number, transferring to an operator, access pre recorded information or connect to voice mail.

Voice Mail

Voice mail provides a service if called stations are unavailable. Upon dialing an extension number, callers may be routed directly to voice mail or transferred to the extension first. The call may be forwarded from the station on conditions.
Each mailbox will answer calls with a custom greeting in the mailbox owners own voice. The caller can then leave a message.
The mailbox owner can access the mailbox and retrieved the messages. Many options are available to handle the message.

HARDWARE DESCRIPTION

Unlike traditional PC based Voice Mail / Auto Attendant Systems, the SVMi-4 has no moving parts. This adds to the robustness and reliability. All the custom speech prompts and callers messages are stored in digital form on static memory. This memory is faster and more reliable than con­ventional disk drives.
Main Board (Included)
This is a self contained voice mail system on a plug in card designed to work exclusively with the DCS Compact and DCS 50si.
Memory (Included)
The memory unit consists of Compact Flash. The current size of this memory is 64 MB. This allows for the operat­ing program and all the prompt and message storage. The memory for the SVMi-4 card is available only from SAM­SUNG.

Upgrade Key (Optional)

The SVMi-4 card can not be expanded beyond 4 ports and 32 mailboxes. This upgrade key is necessary to use the SVMi-4 in the DCS 50si.
The 2 port upgrade key for the SVMi-4 card is available only from SAMSUNG.

Feature Descriptions

SYSTEM FEATURES
Caller ID Compatible If you subscribe to central office based caller ID, the
SVMi-4 is compatible. Just as the Caller ID data appears on DCS keysets, so the same information is saved in your voice mail box for each message you receive. This can be used for call back or simply to identify the caller.
Expandable The SVMi-4 can be easily field upgraded from 2 ports and 16 mail­boxes to 4 ports and 32 mailboxes by using a hardware upgrade key. This upgrade doubles the call handling capabilities of the system.
Keyset Display and Soft Key Support If you have a DCS display keyset the number of new messages will be displayed on it. The display will also echo many of the options available. You will be able to negotiate through the SVMi-4 menus using the Keyset display and the soft keys below the display to respond to the prompts.
MOH Supply Music or announcements may be recorded in the SVMi-4 Memory and used by the DCS phone system for music on hold. The recorded announce­ment or music will play in a continuous loop and may be used to provide cus­tom on hold announcements or promotional messages.
General Description - Page 16
Proprietary Design The SVMi-4 is designed to work specifically with the DCS 50si and the DCS compact. This allows tighter integration with the phone sys­tem and allows for enhanced features like Call Record and Answer Machine Emulation and Display and soft key support not normally available third party voice mail / auto attendant systems.
Recordable System Prompts Although the SVMi-4 contains all the spoken prompts to provide an operational system, some people may want to add or re record some prompts. This can easily be done using the built in voice studio.
Synchronized Clock The SVMi-4 clock is responsible for providing each mes­sage with a date and time stamp, changing between day and night modes is always synchronized with the phone system.
AUTO ATTENDANT FEATURES
Alphabetic Directory Callers who do not know an extension number in the
system but do know a name, may enter the first few letters of the persons name and be transferred. This system may even be used internally if an extension number is not known.
Audiotext You may use the SVMi-4 to supply a recorded announcements or audiotext message to callers. Audiotext allows you to provide information only
General Description - Page 17
without giving the option to record a message. An example of this might be directions or movie times.
Auto Attendant Routing The Auto attendant can transfer or route callers based on the digits they enter. Callers may be transferred to station, groups or the system directory to select a subscriber based on their name
Automatic After Hours Answering The Main Auto Attendant greeting for the SVMi-4 changes from the day to the night greeting automatically when the phone system changes from day to night mode.
Camp On Support Each station user on the system may decide if they want the SVMi-4 to transfer additional calls to them if they are on the phone. Calls transferred to a busy station, if unanswered will be sent to voice mail or any other destination according to the users needs.
Direct to Mailbox You may have mailboxes on the SVMi-4 system that do not have associated stations. This is ideal if you have a small number of employees in your office but numerous employees outside the office that need to keep in contact.
Holidays and Special Events When your business closes because of a Holiday or special event the SVMi-4 can provide a special appropriate greeting to your callers.
General Description - Page 18
Incoming Call Overflow The SVMi-4 may be programmed to answer any or all
lines immediately or answer only the calls that your operator does not pick up.

Operator Access Callers may connect with an available operator any time by dialing 0.
VOICE MAIL FEATURES
Answer Machine Emulation This feature allows you to monitor calls left in
your voice mail box through the speaker of your DCS keyset. In function it is very much like screening a call on your home answer machine.
