Introduction
What is Perfect Voice Tis16 Series 3?
Perfect Voice Tis16 Series 3 is an integrated voice messaging and call routing system designed to work with
the Toshiba CIX software version 4.1 or higher telephone system(s). Perfect Voice Tis16S3 can perform a
number of tasks for callers and Users, which increase their productivity.
Perfect Voice Tis16S3 is packaged entirely on a printed circuit board that resides in the host KSU. The
architecture of the system permits Perfect Voice Tis16S3 to be connected directly to the CIX system data
bus. This enables Perfect Voice Tis16S3 connectivity without the traditional analog interfaces necessary for
other voice processing systems.
System installation and initial configuration involves plugging in Perfect Voice Tis16S3 into an available
card slot in the CIX system that is programmed as a BSLU/BSLS card.
NOTE
Perfect Voice Tis16S3 will NOT work on CIX40 or CTX28.
5
Configurations
Perfect Voice Tis16S3 is available as a flash-based system with 140 storage hours.
Users
Normal Users
Normal Users are those individuals who have a physical extension number on the telephone system that
directly corresponds to their User ID, or mailbox, on the Perfect Voice Tis16S3 system. If the called
extension number is busy or does not answer, the caller is prompted to leave a message, enter another
extension number or press 0 to reach the operator. The Normal User and Outside Mailbox User IDs may be
two, three, or four digit numbers.
Outside Mailbox Users
Outside Mailbox Users are those individuals who do not have a physical extension number on the telephone
system but who do have a mailbox on the Perfect Voice Tis16S3 system. When a caller enters an Outside
User ID, Perfect Voice Tis16S3 immediately plays the personal greeting for the mailbox and allows the
caller to leave a message or dial another extension. The Normal User and Outside Mailbox User IDs may
be two, three, or four digit numbers.
Audiotext Mailbox
An Audiotext Mailbox is not associated with a specific telephone extension and does not take messages.
Instead, it plays a pre-recorded greeting that provides information to callers. The information could be
anything the company would like callers to have but does not necessarily need a person to say. Audiotext
boxes are useful in playing information to callers such as the company address, fax number, business hours
and general information.
Auto-Detect Users
Two Auto-Detect Users are pre-defined (990=fax extension, 991=TDD extension).
Single Digit Users
Single Digit Users available are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6. These Users may also be defined as audiotext boxes
and/or transfer boxes.

System Codes
Pre-Defined System Codes
The pre-defined system codes are as follows:
System Access code: 7

Direct to Personal Greeting: 8
Directory Assistance: 9
What Perfect Voice Tis16S3 Can Do For Callers
Perfect Voice Tis16S3 can perform a number of tasks to enhance your company’s telecommunications
environment for callers (A caller is an individual calling your company from an outside line.)
Answer an outside call and transfer the caller to an extension within your company.
Answer an outside call and provide information by playing caller-selected pre-recorded messages.
Allow a caller to leave a message for a User if the User is not available.
After a caller records a message, he or she is presented with options to send the message, review the
message, re-record the message, add to the message, or discard the message. The caller may also
mark the message urgent or private. Marking the message urgent places that message before other
messages in the destination User’s mailbox. Marking the message private prevents the User from
forwarding it to another User.
Allow a caller to select another User, in the event that the originally selected User is not available.
If a caller is calling from a rotary dial telephone or does not know how to use the system, Perfect
Voice Tis16S3 can transfer the caller to an operator.
If a caller does not know the extension (User ID) of the person he or she wishes to reach, he or she
may select the directory assistance option (9) and spell the name of the person, instead.
Detect Fax tones and transfer to a fax machine.
Detect TTY/TDD tones and transfer to a TTY machine.
What Perfect Voice Tis16S3 Can Do For Users
Perfect Voice Tis16S3 offers a large number of features for Users. (Users are defined on the Perfect Voice
Tis16S3 system.)
Allow a User to record a personal greeting that callers hear in the event that the User is not available
to answer their call.
Inform a User that a new message has been left by lighting the message lamp on the User’s
telephone.
Allow a User to listen to messages left by callers or other Users.
If a message was not marked private, allow a User to forward it to another User (or group of Users).
The message can be forwarded with or without a prefix recording. The prefix might say something
like, “Joann, would you please take care the problem that Mark is describing in the following message.”
Allow a User to set up a list of other Users to whom a message can be easily sent or forwarded.
If a User does not know the User ID of another User, he or she can select the directory assistance
option (9) and spell the name of the person, instead.

Installation
This section provides the steps to install the Perfect Voice Tis16S3 hardware and configure the system.
Installer Requirements
The installer plays a key role in the successful installation of the voice processing hardware and software. In
addition to performing the actual work of installing the product, the installer acts as a liaison between the
customer, telecommunications companies, and Teleco Technical Support. An installer is required to have
skills and experience in at least the basics of telephony and computer technology, including the following:
Perfect Voice Technical training certification.
Training and experience in at least the general concepts of telecommunications.
Certified on the Toshiba CIX telephone systems.
The ability to properly configure, install and remove circuit boards in a personal computer.
Required Materials
Anti-static wrist strap
BSIS card and serial cable (if SMDI is required on CIX telephone system)

Installation Overview
Step 1: Unpack and Inspect Perfect Voice Tis16S3, page 7
Step 2: Install BSIS Card if using SMDI Integration on Strata CIX, page 8
Step 3: Program Telephone System, page 8
Step 4: Shut Down Telephone System, page 11
Step 5: Install Perfect Voice Tis16S3, page 12
Step 6: Restart CIX and Verify Perfect Voice Tis16S3 Is Functioning Properly, page 12
Step 7: Configuring the System, page 13
Step 1: Unpack and Inspect Perfect Voice Tis16S3
Before unpacking, make certain that none of the shipping containers were damaged during shipment. Do
not open any damaged shipping containers. Contact your shipping agent for appropriate claims.
CAUTION
To ensure that the unit is not damaged during installation or maintenance, follow these precautions. Damage
may not always be immediately evident (e.g., no physical damage on the outside of the unit) and system
failure may result weeks or months later.
Handle Tis16S3 with care. Mechanical shock from dropping, shaking, excessive force when seating
the board into the slot, rocking a connector on or other activities can severely damage the disk
assembly or the disk’s printed circuit board.
Wear an anti-static wrist strap. It can also be re-used and left with the telephone system cabinet. An
electrostatic charge from your body can damage the drive or circuitry permanently.
Hold Tis16S3 by the edges. When inserting the card into the cabinet, only press on the card’s
edge. When removing the card from the cabinet, use the attached loop strap. Never touch the
board’s surface. Pressure on the printed circuit board or contaminants from your hands (e.g., skin
oil, food particles, hand lotion) can cause component failure.

CAUTION – Battery Replacement
The Tis16S3 battery can ONLY be replaced with a 3 volt Lithium coin battery,
number CR2032. There is a risk of explosion if the incorrect battery is used. Dispose
of used battery according to the battery manufacturer’s instructions.
Step 2: Install BSIS Card if using SMDI Integration on Strata CIX
Note
A BSIS card must be installed in the Strata CIX if using SMDI Integration.
Install and program serial card BSIS in the Strata CIX. The serial cable will be used to connect the BSIS
card to the Pinnacle Tis16S3.
Step 3: Program Telephone System
The telephone system programming should be completed in two stages. In the first stage, the extensions for
the Perfect Voice Tis16S3 are programmed. The second stage of changes is not performed until the Perfect
Voice Tis16S3 has been fully programmed and all training is complete. This stage, often referred to as the
cutover, is where you actually route and forward calls to the Perfect Voice Tis16S3.

Step 5: Install Perfect Voice Tis16S3
1. Locate available slot for Tis16S3.
If there is not an available slot for Tis16S3, stop here. If a T1, DID or TIE line card needs to be relocated to
make room for Tis16S3, do so now. Make sure the necessary programming changes are made to account for
this move.
2. Install Perfect Voice Tis16S3 according to the following steps.
NOTE
Allow Tis16S3 to sit at room temperature for at least 3 hours before applying any
power. Shipping can expose Tis16S3 to tem perature extremes. Let Tis16S3 adjust to room
temperature to avoid any possible damage from condensation, etc. Ensure that the
battery is secure before installation.
CAUTION – Battery Replacement
The Tis16S3 battery can ONLY be replaced with a 3 volt Lithium coin battery,
number CR2032. There is a risk of explosion if the incorrect battery is used. Dispose
of used battery according to the battery manufacturer’s instructions.
Remove Tis16S3 from its protective package. Remember to handle the Tis16S3 card with care.
Wear an anti-static wrist strap and hold the card by its edges.
Insert the Tis16S3 PCB into the appropriate slot and apply firm, even pressure to ensure proper
connection. CAUTION: Do not insert the board too slowly and make sure the board is pushed all
the way in or the key system may behave in an unexpected manner. In most cases, however, this
behavior will correct itself within a couple of minutes.
After installing, gently pull the card outward. You should feel a slight resistance. If you don't feel
the resistance, apply pressure again.
Step 6: Restart CIX and Verify Perfect Voice Tis16S3 Is Functioning
Properly
Each Tis16S3 has been preprogrammed at the factory for out-of-box operation on the telephone system.
This includes the integration and configuration parameters, and company greeting and instructions.
Turn on the main power switch to the CIX system. Let it proceed without any action from you. The
Power LED should turn green when the system is operational.
Dial the extension number for each port. Tis16S3 should (for each port) answer and play the default
company greeting (“Thank you for calling…”).

C. Selecting a Pre-configured Dialplan
It is important to pay close attention when selecting a dialplan. Be absolutely certain of the dialplan you
want before you begin this step. It is strongly recommended to use the 2 digit or 3 digit pre-configured
dialplans on all Toshiba telephone systems as they have been tailored for these systems. Table B illustrates
the dialplans available. You may select a pre-configured dialplan via the telephone, Admin Graphical
Manager, or SCREENS interface. If you wish to create a custom dialplan or add to the current dialplan,
refer to “Appendix B: Create a Custom Dial Plan”.
NOTE: Once you have selected a pre-configured dialplan, it is not possible to select a different preconfigured dialplan without accessing the User Directory in the SCREENS interface and pressing F7 to
delete the range of Users that have already been created. All local configuration information, personal
greetings, names, and messages will be lost. Single Digit Users may be configured as audiotext or
additional Audiotext Users may be added using Appendix C.
Changes will not become active until the next call into the system. Please hang up and call back
into the system to verify changes.
You are placed at the main greeting. Hang up.
Installation
I&M
?
D. Record System Greetings and Whattodos
Customized greeting and whattodo for open and closed mode operation should be recorded during the
installation process.*
The first prompt a caller hears when reaching the Perfect Voice Tis16S3 is the greeting. The open greeting
is recorded in the personal greeting number 1 of User 980. The closed greeting is recorded in the personal
greeting number 3 of User 980. This prompt is heard only once during a call. The greeting should welcome
the caller and, like a human operator, confirm that the caller has reached the correct number.
“Thank you for calling ABC Company.”
The greeting should also contain any additional information the caller should hear only once. “Thank you for calling ABC Company. Our office is currently closed.”
Immediately following the greeting, Perfect Voice Tis16S3 plays the whattodo. The open whattodo is
recorded in the personal greeting number 2 for User 980. The closed whattodo is recorded in the personal
greeting number 4 of User 980. The whattodo informs the caller “what-to-do”, or gives the caller options.
“If you know the extension number of the person you wish to reach, please enter it
now. For directory assistance, press 9 or hold for assistance.”
If single digit options are used, they should be included as part of the whattodo. There are several states
during the duration of a call in which the caller is brought back to the whattodo.
• After leaving a message
• After entering an invalid selection or extension number
• After pressing 0 to exit from User mode
• After listening to an audiotext message
When writing the script for the whattodo, three things should be kept in mind:
1. The whattodo is played immediately after the greeting, so the transition between the greeting and
whattodo should flow smoothly.
2. Callers may eventually come back to the whattodo, so the whattodo must make sense without being
prefaced by the greeting.
3. It is tempting to offer the caller as many options as possible. However, most callers only want one
thing. That is to talk to someone. Give the caller no more than three or four options in the
whattodo.
Refer to the System Greeting Scripts worksheet to record the greeting and whattodo for both open and
closed modes. All recordings should be made from a quiet environment.
*If you are familiar with how Perfect Voice Tis16S3 greetings work, you may skip to “Recording System
Greetings” on page

Pre-Defined Users For Greetings and Whattodos
All greetings and whattodos (daytime, nighttime, and emergency/temporary) are recorded from one User ID
– User ID 980. The greetings and whattodos are recorded as individual greetings (UV1-UV4 and UV7UV8) for this User.
The process of recording of the greeting and whattodo for open, closed, or holiday mode is the same as
recording a personal greeting in a mailbox, only the User ID and password are different. All greeting and
whattodo messages (daytime, nighttime, and emergency) for the main company may be recorded in User ID

Single Digit Departmental Login
You may log a department “In” or “Out” with Single Digit Users. To implement, you should enter an
extension for the Single Digit User (See “Setting up Transfer Only Single Digit Users) and record an
audiotext message for the same Single Digit User (See “Setting Up Single Digit Audiotext Users”). With
single digit departmental login, anyone in the department may log the department in or out. When the
department is logged out, a custom recording (audiotext message) plays informing callers when they will be
back or what options they have available to them. Logging in or out is controlled by toggling the call
blocking setting of the Single Digit User.
For example, you may set up Single Digit User 2 to transfer to the Customer Service department at
extension 205. In addition, you record an audiotext message for Single Digit User 2 that informs callers of
Customer Service hours or other available options. When the Customer Service department is logged in
(call blocking disabled for Single Digit User 2), the call is transferred to extension 205. When the Customer
Service department is logged out (call blocking enabled for Single Digit User 2), callers hear the audiotext
message.

To enable SMDI integration you must first follow the steps in “Selecting the Telephone System Type” and
select option 3. An important factor when installing any SMDI system is the definition of the relationship
between the channel numbers (voice mail ports) and the Logical Terminal Numbers (LTN) (physical
extensions) they are connected to.
You must start SMDI on COM1. Call the system, dial 978 then dial 978 again. Hang up after you hear
the beeps and whattodo. This disables Klinic and starts SMDI on COM 1. It is very important that you

Notification Cycle
Moments after a message is left, the pager is called. If the User does not call in to pick up the new message,
the pager will be called approximately 10 minutes from the initial attempt. The delay between attempts
increases the longer the message goes un-retrieved. The delay continues, adding 10 minutes to each
attempt, not to exceed 1 hour between attempts. The table below contains an example of the paging cycle
for an un-retrieved message left at 9:00 AM.
Attempt Accumulated Delay Example
First No delay 9:00 AM
Second 10 Minutes 9:10 AM
Third 20 Minutes 9:30 AM
Fourth 30 Minutes 10:00 AM
Fifth 40 Minutes 10:40 AM

L. Directory Assistance
When callers don’t know their party’s extension, they may use Directory Assistance to connect to
the correct person. The caller uses the telephone keys to “spell out” a user’s name. Tis16 Series2
may be configured to allow callers to either spell out the last name only (default setting), first
name only, or the first or last name to reach the User.
Search Directory Assistance by First or Last Name
To change the default setting (which allows callers to search by last name only):
Log in to SCREENS

Set up Users for Directory Assistance
The first time Users log into the system, they are placed into Quick Setup, which must be completed before
they can receive messages. One of the steps in Quick Setup prompts the User to spell his or her name for
Directory Assistance, just as a caller would. When the Instance is configured for searching on first or last
name, Users are prompted to “enter (up to) the first six letters of your first name, followed by a zero, then
enter (up to) the first six letters of your last name…”
The Directory Assistance listing may also be configured from SCREENS.

Training
Console Operator Training
The console operator plays a crucial role in many telecommunications environments. The console operator
should be comfortable with performing the following tasks.
Transfer a caller to Perfect Voice Tis16S3 (main greeting).
Transfer a caller to a User’s message box using 997.
Transfer a caller to a User’s personal greeting using 8.
Explain the basic operation of the system to a caller (i.e. “...enter the person’s extension...”)
System Administrator Training
The System Administrator should understand at least the basics of how Perfect Voice Tis16S3 operates.
Familiarize the System Administrator with all features available to Users. Have the System Administrator
carefully review the System Administration section of this guide and answer any questions the System
Administrator may have.
The System Administrator is often your primary on-site contact. It is very important to get this person
comfortable with not only the administration of the system, but its usage as well. Users look to the System
Administrator as the person who knows the system’s features and capabilities. If the System Administrator
is not comfortable with the system, your organization will end up fielding many more questions from the
site than necessary. This ultimately can lead to a dependence of site personnel on your organization to
perform basic System Administrator tasks.
The System Administrator should be comfortable with performing the following tasks.
Reset a User who is no longer on the system
Reset the password for a User
Record personal greeting for audiotext announcement
Record system greeting
Record system whattodo

User Training
The User is the most important person on every site. An untrained User community results in dissatisfaction
and frustration with the system. This, in turn, can lead to serious political problems with getting the system
accepted. Since acceptance of the system, especially in the early stages of an installation is critical to its
success, proper training of the User community can be just as, if not more important than, the technical
aspects of the installation.
The system should be fully functional, but not yet on-line during the training period. Ideally, Users are
allowed to work with the system’s capabilities (sending messages, recording personal greetings, etc.) for a
few days after training and before the final cutover.
Although most Users complete Quick Setup, which guides them through the process of setting up their
message box, all Users should be able to perform the following tasks manually:
Select a personal greeting.
Record a personal greeting.
Listen to messages.
Delete messages.
Forward a message to another User.
Send a message to another User.
Setup pager notification.
Final Cutover
After Perfect Voice Tis16S3 and the telephone system are fully configured and all parties are familiar with
the system, the final cutover can be performed. During this step, CO line calls may be routed to Perfect
Voice Tis16S3 and User stations may be call-forwarded in a busy/ring-no-answer state to Perfect Voice
Tis16S3.
Users' telephones should be forwarded to the Perfect Voice Tis16S3 system for internal coverage on
busy/ring-no-answer. Any internal User who calls an extension that is busy/ring-no-answer will be
forwarded to that User’s message box.
You should stay in close contact with the site during this crucial period so that anything that was overlooked
during the installation can be quickly taken care of. The console operator is an especially good source of
information about how the system is functioning and how well the caller community is accepting it.

?
Troubleshooting
Symptom: The auto-attendant will not answer
Determine if there is a bad port:
From an internal station, call each port individually and note which one(s) are not answering.
¾ If no ports answer:
a) Verify the system has power and has booted
b) Verify the ports have a pulse. Each port should blink every five seconds when idle.
¾ If some ports do not answer, plug in a single line telephone (POTS) to the line(s) that do not
answer and call them:
a) If the single line phone rings and is able to take the call, you have a bad port on
Perfect Voice Tis16S3.
b) If the single line phone does not ring, you have a bad port on the switch.
¾ If all ports answer:
a) The hunt group is not working properly.
b) Users stations are not forwarded properly.
c) The trunks are not ringing into the Perfect Voice Tis16S3 hunt group properly.
¾ If the last 2 ports do not answer:
a) Verify the system is a 4 port system.
Installation
37
Symptom: Pager notification is not functioning
Verify the paging service is working:
The first and easiest thing to check is that the paging service is working properly. Simply dial the pager
number and enter in several 9s because that is what the system is attempting to do.
Verify programming in the User ID having trouble:
When testing the User ID experiencing trouble, you always want to start with an empty mailbox. Delete all
messages in the mailbox. Call back and leave the User a message.
¾ If the User ID does not give you the option to leave a message:
a) The User must go through quick setup, or
b) The mailbox is full, or
c) The system if full and unable to take anymore messages.
¾ If you are able to leave a message, log in to the User ID and verify the notify status:
a) Is Notification enabled for the User?
b) Is the notification number correct?
c) Make sure the notification number does not contain the 9 for outside line access.
Determine trunk access is working:
From Line 2 the system always dials 9 to gain trunk access. You must verify this is working
properly. Using a single line telephone on Line 2, go off hook and dial 9:
¾ If no outside dialtone is detected:
a) The trunk access code programmed in the telephone system is something other than
9.
b) The extension Line 2 is plugged into has not been given trunk access privileges.
c) There is a problem with one or more of the trunks in the trunk group.
¾ If dialtone is detected:
a) Verify User setting (above).
b) Line 2 may be busy processing calls and has not been given enough time to seize
the line and dial the pager.
PVTis16S3IM
38
I&M
?
Installation
Symptom: Calls forwarded to voicemail go the main greeting rather than personal greeting
¾ If the caller hears the main greeting:
a) Verify the User ID exists by trying to log in to it.
b) Verify the integration is being sent by listening on the line with a digit grabber or
test set to determine the telephone system is sending the integration string (DTMF
integration).
¾ If caller hears several rings followed by the main greeting on an SMDI configuration, SMDI
link is not working:
a) Check Cabling.
b) Verify telephone system programming.
c) Re-select telephone system type (see “Select the Telephone System Type”).
Symptom: The auto-attendant will not successfully transfer calls.
Determine if the telephone system is capable of transferring calls:
Attempt the transfer with a single line phone on the same line the auto-attendant is using. Verify which port
on the auto attendant is not transferring calls.
¾ If the transfer works, there is a bad port on the system.
¾ If the transfer does not work:
a) The port on the telephone system may not be configured to allow transfers.
b) The port on the telephone system may be bad.
Some telephone systems do not support station to station transfers. In this case, only outside callers can take
advantage of the auto-attendant.

Before You Begin
As the System Administrator, you play a key role in the every day operation of Perfect Voice Tis16S3. It is
important that you understand at least the basics of how Perfect Voice Tis16S3 operates. You should be
familiar with all features available to Users. Completely understand the User Guide before covering the
material in this manual.
Basic System Maintenance
As mentioned above, the System Administrator performs a key role in the operation of Perfect Voice
Tis16S3. Following are some examples of your basic duties as a System Administrator.
Record the main system greeting and whattodo.
Record any audiotext announcement.
Train Users.
These procedures along with many others that you may need to perform are documented in step-by-step
detail later in this manual.
Questions and Answers
39
As the System Administrator, you are responsible for answering questions from Users. You should have a
relatively good working knowledge of how the system operates. You will also help new or inexperienced
Users become accustomed to using the system. Even if you don’t immediately have an answer to someone’s
question, you can easily get the answer from the Perfect Voice Tis16S3 documentation, your vendor’s
technical personnel and your own experience with the system.
User Training
Although Quick Setup takes most Users through the process of setting up their mailbox, all Users should be
able to perform at least the following tasks in order to benefit from the system. As the System
Administrator, you also need to be able to perform these tasks in order to best train your new personnel.
Select a personal greeting.
Record a personal greeting.
Listen to messages.
Delete messages.
Forward a message to another User.
Send a message to another User.

Problem Reporting
In the event that a User or caller reports a problem with the system, you and/or the vendor’s technical
personnel work to determine the cause of, and solution to the problem. The cause of a problem may be one
or more of the following.
User error
Insufficient training
Incorrect system configuration
Faulty hardware
Faulty software
The System Administrator plays a central role in separating those issues that can be addressed within the
organization (i.e. training, User error, etc.) and those issues that can be addressed by the vendor’s technical
personnel. Some problems, especially those experienced just after the system is installed, can only be
resolved through cooperation between both parties, the vendor and your company.

The Normal Type of User is the most common type of User on the system. A User of this type is associated
with each person in your company who has a physical extension number on your telephone system. That
extension number directly corresponds to their User ID, or mailbox number, on the Perfect Voice Tis16S3
system.
If your Perfect Voice Tis16S3 system is a primary attendant, a caller hears your main company greeting and
whattodo when the system answers. When a caller enters a User’s extension number, Perfect Voice
Tis16S3 places the caller on hold and dials the User’s extension number. Perfect Voice Tis16S3 then listens
for a ring signal. If the User does not answer the ringing phone, Perfect Voice Tis16S3 returns to the caller
and plays the User’s personal greeting. The caller may then leave a message, enter another extension
number, or press 0 to reach the operator.
If the caller chooses to leave a message, Perfect Voice Tis16S3 records the message and turns the message
light on at the User’s extension. When a User accesses their mailbox, Perfect Voice Tis16S3 turns the
message light off on the extension. Below are the default settings for Normal Users. These settings may be
changed using the SCREENS interface.
2 personal greetings, 20 seconds in length
25 messages at 120 seconds in length
User mode starting menu is the Message Management Menu
Pager notification and message waiting light
Outside Users
The Outside Users are individuals in your company who do not have a physical extension number on the
telephone system, but need voice messaging service. The Outside User boxes function just like those of the
normal User. The only difference is that, since there is no telephone to transfer the caller to, Perfect Voice
Tis16S3 immediately plays the personal greeting for this type of mailbox as soon as the caller enters an
Outside User ID.
Since Outside Users do not have physical extension numbers on the telephone system, it is their
responsibility to check frequently for new messages. Below are the default settings for Outside Users.
These settings may be changed using the SCREENS interface.

Standard Audiotext Users
This type of User is not associated with a person. A caller who selects a User of this type is not transferred
to an extension, nor is the caller allowed to leave a message for the User. Only a message plays, after which,
the caller is placed back to the whattodo. The audiotext message may be changed at any time by simply rerecording the personal greeting for this User. The information recorded in the message could be your
address, your fax number, your business hours or any type of information you would like callers to have.
Below are the default settings for Standard Audiotext Users. These settings may be changed using the

Single Digit Audiotext and Transfer-Only Users
This type of User is not associated with a person. Single Digit User IDs 1 through 6 may be set up to
transfer callers to another extension (Transfer-Only) or play an audiotext message to callers (Audiotext). A
Single Digit User ID may be set up to both transfer to an extension and play audiotext. However, only one
of these functions will be active at a time, depending on the call blocking status of the User ID.
Operator
The default Operator for Perfect Voice Tis16S3 is User ID 0. Whether a caller dials zero or does not dial
anything from the main greeting he or she is directed to the extension programmed for User ID 0. By
default, the extension for User ID 0 is extension 0. You may select another extension.
Auto-Detect Users
These types of Users are not associated with a person. They allow you to configure Perfect Voice Tis16S3
to automatically transfer to a fax extension or TDD equipment when the appropriate tone is detected.

Activating Pager Notification
Pager notification may be activated for any User or Outside User ID on the Perfect Voice Tis16S3
system. If pager notification is active, the User’s pager is activated for every new message every day,
twenty-four hours a day. The User may activate and deactivate pager notification from within their
User mailbox. When the User receives a new message, 9’s will appear on the pager display. This is the
notification that there are messages in his or her Perfect Voice Tis16S3 mailbox.

Notification Cycle
Moments after a message is left, the pager is called. If the User does not call in to pick up the new message,
the pager will be called approximately 10 minutes from the initial attempt. The delay between attempts
increases the longer the message goes un-retrieved. The delay continues, adding 10 minutes to each
attempt, not to exceed 1 hour between attempts. The table below contains an example of the paging cycle
for an un-retrieved message left at 9:00 AM.
Attempt Accumulated Delay Example
First No delay 9:00 AM
Second 10 Minutes 9:10 AM
Third 20 Minutes 9:30 AM

Recording System Greetings and Whattodos
System Greetings
Customized greeting and whattodo for open and closed mode operation should have been recorded during
your installation process. The following information is offered for assistance should you wish to re-record
the greeting and whattodo.
The first prompt a caller hears when reaching the Perfect Voice Tis16S3 is the greeting. The open greeting
is recorded in the personal greeting number 1 of User 980. The closed greeting is recorded in the personal
greeting number 3 of User 980. This prompt is heard only once during a call. The greeting should welcome
the caller and, like a human operator, confirm that the caller has reached the correct number.
“Thank you for calling ABC Company.”
The greeting should also contain any additional information the caller should hear only once. “Thank you for calling ABC Company. Our office is currently closed.”
Immediately following the greeting, Perfect Voice Tis16S3 plays the whattodo. The open whattodo is
recorded in the personal greeting number 2 for User 980. The closed whattodo is recorded in the personal
greeting number 4 of User 980. The whattodo informs the caller “what-to-do”, or gives the caller options.
“If you know the extension number of the person you wish to reach, please enter it
now. For directory assistance, press 9 or hold for assistance.”
If single digit options are used, they should be included as part of the whattodo. There are several states
during the duration of a call in which the caller is brought back to the whattodo.
After leaving a message
After entering an invalid selection or extension number
After pressing 0 to exit from User mode
After listening to an audiotext message
When writing the script for the whattodo, three things should be kept in mind:
1. The whattodo is played immediately after the greeting, so the transition between the greeting and
whattodo should flow smoothly.
2. Callers may eventually come back to the whattodo, so the whattodo must make sense without being
prefaced by the greeting.
3. It is tempting to offer the caller as many options as possible. However, most callers only want one
thing. That is to talk to someone. Give the caller no more than three or four options in the
whattodo.
Refer to the System Greeting Scripts worksheet to record the greeting and whattodo for both open and
closed modes. All recordings should be made from a quiet environment.

Holiday and Temporary Greetings and Whattodos
Holiday Greeting and Whattodo
The system allows you to play a different greeting during a holiday. Holiday greetings become active when
you place the system in “Holiday” mode. The holiday recordings will play until you place the system in
“Workday” mode. (See “Manually Select Open or Closed Mode”.)
Holiday greetings and whattodos are recorded in User ID 980:
User 980 – Greeting 5: Holiday Greeting
User 980 – Greeting 6: Holiday Whattodo
Temporary Greeting and Whattodo
A Temporary greeting and whattodo is typically used if your company is closed due to inclement weather or
a some other reason. These recordings should explain when you will be back in operation and what options
the caller has at that time.
Temporary greetings become active as soon as you record them. These new recordings will play until the
next scheduled greeting change occurs. For example, if you plan to be closed on a Thursday, record your
temporary greeting just after the Thursday “open” greeting has loaded. Perfect Voice Tis16S3 will play the
temporary greeting/whattodo during the open hours. Perfect Voice Tis16S3 will automatically switch to the
closed greeting after hours and play the regular open greeting on Friday.
Temporary greetings and whattodos are recorded in User ID 980:
User 980 – Greeting 7: Temporary Greeting
User 980 – Greeting 8: Temporary Whattodo
If the system does not have an open/closed schedule, you may record a temporary greeting and whattodo in
User ID 980 – Greetings 3 and 4. Manually toggle the system from open to closed mode as needed. (See
“Manually Select Open or Closed Mode”.)

Music on Hold and Background Music
The Tis16S3 system has two line-level “RCA” audio jacks (labeled BGM and MOH) to provide
music/message-on-hold and/or background music. At system boot-up, the driver
(C:\AUDIO\MARSLIB.EXE) looks for specific files in the D:\MESG folder. If they exist, audio output
will be enabled. Generic audio files are located at C:\AUDIO,which can be copied to one or both of the
following locations: D:\MESG\BGM.RMS (the file for the BGM port) and D:\MESG\MOH.RMS (file for
the MOH port).
Hardware Requirements
A three-foot male-to-male RCA/phono cable is provided with this system to connect from the MOH or
BGM port on the Tis16S3 to the MOH port on the CIX. If you need a longer cable, a six-foot cable may
be purchased online.
NOTE – International User Only
Any external source connected to the Music on Hold (MOH) port must be isolated
using an authorized and approved Line Isolation Unit (LIU).
59
Enable Music on Hold/Background Music
NOTE: The Tis16S3 hardware was recently updated to support 16-kHz sampled audio. The new systems are
distinguishable by the inclusion of a RESET button and LED indicators on the LAN interface. Please read the
next section carefully.
There are two generic MOH/BGM audio files included with the system. They are in the C:\AUDIO directory:
C:\AUDIO\MOH16.RMS is for the newest hardware that supports 16-kHz sampled audio playback. It
is to be used on new hardware only; using it on the older hardware will cause it to play at half-speed.
C:\AUDIO\MOH.RMS is for the original hardware that supports 8-kHz sampled audio playback. It is
to be used on old hardware only; using it on the new hardware will cause it to play at double-speed.
No harm will come to the system if the wrong file is used. If the playback sounds incorrect, try the
other file.
To enable Music on Hold/Background Music:
Use the command TDLIB /TH- to stop the BGM and MOH output. NOTE: It is important to stop the
BGM/MOH output before changing the file(s). Failure to do so may cause the system to become
unstable and halt operation.
Music on Hold: At the DOS prompt, type:
COPY C:\AUDIO\MOH16.RMS D:\MESG\MOH.RMS
- or -
COPY C:\AUDIO\MOH.RMS D:\MESG\MOH.RMS
Background Music: If thehardware supports both MOH and BGM, at the DOS prompt, type:
COPY C:\AUDIO\MOH16.RMS D:\MESG\BGM.RMS
- or –
COPY C:\AUDIO\MOH.RMS D:\MESG\BGM.RMS
NOTE: Copy the file to BGM.RMS only if the hardware supports both MOH and BGM. Copying
the file on non-supporting hardware may cause the system to lockup.
Perform a warm boot or use TDLIB /TH to re-start the BGM and MOH output.

Disable Music on Hold/Background Music
Use the command TDLIB /TH- to stop the BGM and MOH output. NOTE: It is important to stop the
BGM/MOH output before changing the file(s). Failure to do so may cause the system to become
unstable and halt operation.
Music on Hold: At the DOS prompt, type: DEL D:\MESG\MOH.RMS
Background Music: At the DOS prompt, type: DEL D:\MESG\BGM.RMS
Perform a warm boot or use TDLIB /TH to re-start the BGM and MOH output..
Customizing Music on Hold/Background Music
If you would like to use your own custom recording for music on hold, please contact technical support for
help with conversion into the proper format for Tis16S3. Please be sure to let them know which hardware
version you have. If you are not sure which version of hardware you have, technical support will be able to
assist you.
Changing the File After the System has Started
To change the file after the system has started, use the following procedure:
Use the command TDLIB /TH- to stop the BGM and MOH output. NOTE: It is important to
stop the BGM/MOH output before changing the file(s). Failure to do so may cause the system to
become unstable and halt operation.
Copy the new file to the proper location given above.
Use TDLIB /TH to re-start the BGM and MOH output.

Appendix A: Remote Diagnostics/Administration
To perform diagnostics or administration, you may connect to the Tis16S3 in one of the following ways:
Network Connection, page A-1
Internal Modem, see page A-3
Console Port, see page A-6
Network Connection
When the full-time network connection is enabled, a special program called RCS can be used to access the
voice-mail system command prompt. RCS is available on the Teleco Website as “PVP-RCS.ZIP”. Unzip
the files onto your PC (e.g. C:\RCS or some other preferred location). The RCS program is run from the
command prompt, however, you may create a shortcut on the desktop.
N O T E
The unit is shipped with the network connection activated and can be accessed at IP
address 192.168.254.252.
Directions for Use
On the voice-mail system, use the command DHCPSTAT to find IP address (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx) in use.
On your PC, use one of these commands:
o For WindowsXP systems: RCS-XP xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
o For Windows2000 systems: RCS2000 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
The default username is „su‟ and the default password is „su‟ (both are all lower-case).
These can be changed in the file C:\TCPIP\SOCKET.UPW on the voice-mail system.
Once connected, there is no need to type HELLO like when connected via the console port or modem.
Use CTRL-ALT-X to end RCS session, there is no need to type BYE.
NOTES
It is possible to use RCS and a console port or modem connection at the same time.
You are encouraged to exit RCS when you are not using it.
RCS does not require HELLO, however, to ensure that the Scheduler is always running
properly, you are encouraged to type BYE before exiting from the RCS connection.
Background tasks, suck as e-mail or maintenance may cause RCS to disconnect.
Some background tasks, such as e-mail processing, may prevent RCS from immediately displaying
information. You may wait for the background task to complete, or you may exit and re-enter RCS at a
later time. If you exited RCS during the use of FTP (discussed in the next section, Using Network Connection for File Transfers), you will have to press a key to get the menu to show up.
Unlike HyperTerm, HyperAccess, RCS does not have a Scroll-Back feature. To overcome this, you can
pipe output to a file and use IVIEW to review the data. For example, to review a long directory listing:
C:\RCPT>DIR > VIEW.TXT this will redirect the directory output to the file VIEW.TXT

Using Network Connection for File Transfers
When using the console port or modem, File Transfers were performed using ZSEND (to transfer files from the
voice-mail) and ZRCV (to transfer files to the voice-mail). These commands, which are actually batch files, use
a program called FTRANS. This program relies on a background process called KLINIC, which provides
access to the internal DSP modem and, after you type HELLO, to the console port.
RCS does not provide KLINIC the ability to access the Network Interface; therefore, FTRANS cannot perform
transfers over that connection. Any attempt to use FTRANS would try to use the console port or modem, if they
are active. But when the full-time network connection is enabled, File Transfers can be handled via FTP. This
has a tremendous speed advantage over the console port and modem connections.
RCS is not required to perform FTP transfers. As long as the full-time network connection is present, FTP
transfers can be initiated using the console port or modem connection. If you do use RCS to initiate the FTP
transfer, you are encouraged to disconnect RCS for the duration that FTP is running. An active RCS connection
may have a negative impact on the speed of FTP transfers; however, it will still be much faster than transfers
performed over the console port or modem connection.
A small FTP server program (C:\TCPIP\FTPD.EXE) is used for file transfers. FTPD will root to the drive that it
was executed from. It does not matter what directory or folder you are in, FTPD will always root itself to the
root of that drive. Before running FTPD, you should run DHCPSTAT to find the IP address of the voice-mail
system. You also need to remove AFORMS to ensure there is enough memory.
Example: If you need to transfer files from anywhere on the “D:” drive:
Use Internet Explorer or any other FTP software to connect to the voice-mail’s IP address. The default username
is ‘admin’ and the default password is ‘admin’ (both are all lower-case). These can be changed in the file
C:\TCPIP\SOCKET.UPW on the voice-mail system.
When you are done with your file transfer(s), use the connection to the voice-mail system (RCS, console port, or
modem) to press any key for the FTPD command menu:
C close LISTEN
D Dos shell
S status
X exit
Choose X to exit, you may see:
Active sessions
Press Ctrl A to abort them, any other key to continue…
Press CTRL-A to exit and then reload AFORMS (example, D:\>AFORMS).

Using Klinic
Connecting to a remote site running the Klinic software allows for total emulation of the host keyboard.
To emulate the Function key strokes on the host computer, extended keys must be setup on the remote PC.
All extended keystrokes, including the Control and Alt and Shifted versions of most keys can be executed
on the remote system by entering special sequences of standard ASCII characters. This sequence always
begins with an opening curly brace “
PageDown on the remote system, enter
the appropriate key on the remote system.
The Control version of keys is created by simply adding a “C” at the beginning of the command. Therefore,
Control-PageDown would be entered as
adding an A or S to the command.
The following table lists the key codes available through Klinic. As mentioned above, adding a C, A or S to
the beginning of these codes causes the Control-ed, Alt-ed, and Shifted versions of these keys to be pressed.
The codes are not case-sensitive.

Sometimes the remote system appears to stop accepting keystrokes. This could be due to a high system load
or a noisy line. For the latter case, noise that looked like an opening brace character was received. To get
around this, press the closing brace character a few times until you see it echoed on the local screen. This
terminates whatever accidental extended key sequence was in progress. If the problem persists, try calling
back into the system on another line or at a lower baud rate.

Connecting Locally via Console Port
When the Perfect Voice Tis16S3 boots, by default, the internal modem is initialized and the CONSOLE port
(COM 2) is active and set at 57600 baud.
Local programming and maintenance can be accomplished by connecting a laptop/PC to the CONSOLE
PORT (COM 2) of the voice mail system and typing in HELLO.
NOTE
Typing HELLO puts the Scheduler on HOLD until you type BYE. (The Scheduler is
disabled while online so the system will work in conjunction with AGM.) Scheduled
events will NOT run as long as you are in the “Hello” mode. Be sure that you type
BYE when you have finished programming/maintenance.
The basic materials required for the local connection are a laptop/PC and a standard 9 to 9 null modem
cable. NOTE: You cannot use the CONSOLE PORT (COM 2) and modem (COM 3) for Klinic/Admin
connection at the same time.

The system is equipped with a serial port to act as the programming port when the SCREENS programming
interface is required. When the system is booted-up, it will be configured for a modem connection at
9600bps/None/8/1. In order to connect a device such as a laptop or PC equivalent, communication software
with the settings of 9600bps/None/8/1 is required with a null modem cable to serve as the link between the
two machines. A straight through cable with a null modem adapter can serve as a substitute if a null modem
cable cannot be obtained.
The serial port is a standard 9 pin male RS232 connection therefore requires the null modem cable to be a
9pin female. The other end of the cable depends on the serial port of the programming terminal (most serial
ports equipped on personal computers are 9 pin males). If a custom cable is required or cross connections
must be used please refer to the following diagram for assembly instructions.

Appendix B: Create a Custom Dialplan
You may create a custom dialplan for Perfect Voice Tis16S3. You may create 2-digit, 3-digit, or 4-digit
Users.
When creating a custom dialplan, keep several rules in mind:
Due to limited disk space, the maximum number of mailboxes allowed on the Perfect Voice
Tis16S3 system is approximately 300.
Maximum Ranges: 10-69 (2-digit range), 100-699 (3-digit range), and 1000-6999 (4-digit range).
When entering a range of numbers, the Starting number and Last number of the range must
begin with the same lead digit
999 are valid entries. 20 through 39, 200 through 499, or 2000 through 5999 are not valid. To
2
create Users 20 through 59, you must enter a single range at a time. First enter 20-29, then 30-39,
then 40-49, then 50-59.
When entering a range of numbers, the Starting and Last User in the range must be the same
length (2-digits, 3-digits, or 4-digits). For example, 30-39, 300-399, or 3000-3999 are valid
entries. 30-300 and 300-3000 are not valid entries.
Once you have established a range of Users for a specific leading digit, all subsequent additions
must be within the same extension length of that range. For example:
. For example, 20 through 29, 200 through 299, or 2000 through

Modes of Operation
Primary Attendant
When Perfect Voice Tis16S3 is configured as the primary attendant, a caller who dials your company’s
main telephone number is answered by the Perfect Voice Tis16S3 system. The automated attendant
function allows the callers to enter a User ID and Perfect Voice Tis16S3 processes the call based upon the
User ID entered.
Secondary Attendant
When Perfect Voice Tis16S3 is configured as the secondary attendant, a person answers a caller who dials
your company’s main telephone number. However, if the caller dials a secondary or “back door” telephone
number, or if there is more call activity than the human attendant can handle, Perfect Voice Tis16S3
answers the call. The calls are then processed just as if the Perfect Voice Tis16S3 were a primary
attendant.

Terms
Voice Messaging
In this mode, a call is directed to Perfect Voice Tis16S3, because the User is not available to take the call.
Perfect Voice Tis16S3 then records a message for the User. This is voice messaging.
Users
Normal Users
Normal Users are those individuals who have a physical extension number on the telephone system that
directly corresponds to their User ID, or mailbox, on the Perfect Voice Tis16S3 system. If the called
extension number is busy or does not answer, the caller is prompted to leave a message, enter another
extension number or press 0 to reach the operator. The Normal User and Outside Mailbox User IDs may be
two, three, or four digit numbers.
Outside Mailbox Users
Outside Mailbox Users are those individuals who do not have a physical extension number on the telephone
system but who do have a mailbox on the Perfect Voice Tis16S3 system. When a caller enters an Outside
User ID, Perfect Voice Tis16S3 immediately plays the personal greeting for the mailbox and allows the
caller to leave a message or dial another extension. The Normal User and Outside Mailbox User IDs may
be two, three, or four digit numbers.
Audiotext Mailbox
An Audiotext Mailbox is not associated with a specific telephone extension and does not take messages.
Instead, it plays a pre-recorded greeting that provides information to callers. The information could be
anything the company would like callers to have but does not necessarily need a person to say. Audiotext
boxes are useful in playing information to callers such as the company address, fax number, business hours
and general information.
Auto-Detect Users
Two Auto-Detect Users are pre-defined (990=fax extension, 991=TDD extension).
Single Digit Users
Single Digit Users available are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6. These Users may also be defined as audiotext boxes
and/or transfer boxes.
System Codes
Pre-Defined System Codes
The pre-defined system codes are as follows:
• System Access code: 7
• Hang-up, or Endcall code: 998
• Direct to take a Message: 997
• Direct to Personal Greeting: 8
• Directory Assistance: 9
