Limited Warranty

Toshiba America Information Systems, Inc., (“TAIS”) warrants that this voice processing equipment (except for fuses, lamps, and other consumables) will, upon delivery by TAIS or an authorized TAIS dealer to a retail customer in new condition, be free from defects in material and workmanship for twenty-four (24) months after delivery. This warranty is void (a) if the equipment is used under other than normal use and maintenance conditions, (b) if the equipment is modified or altered, unless the modification or alteration is expressly authorized by TAIS, (c) if the equipment is subject to abuse, neglect, lightning, electrical fault, or accident, (d) if the equipment is repaired by someone other than TAIS or an authorized TAIS dealer, (e) if the equipment’s serial number is defaced or missing, or (f) if the equipment is installed or used in combination or in assembly with products not supplied by TAIS and which are not compatible or are of inferior quality, design, or performance.

Customer will, at its sole cost and expense, provide the necessary Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) equipment as specified by TAIS in the Stratagy Voice Processing General Description for use with the Stratagy ES system at all times. System failures and/or damages resulting from either not using a UPS with the Stratagy ES or the use of a UPS not equivalent to that specified by TAIS are not covered by this warranty.

The sole obligation of TAIS or Toshiba Corporation under this warranty, or under any other legal obligation with respect to the equipment, is the repair or replacement by TAIS or its authorized dealer of such defective or missing parts as are causing the malfunction with new or refurbished parts (at their option). If TAIS or one of its authorized dealers does not replace or repair such parts, the retail customer ’s sole remedy will be a refund of the price charged by TAIS to its dealers for such parts as are proven to be defective, and which are returned to TAIS through one of its authorized dealers within the warranty period and no later than thirty (30) days after such malfunction, whichever first occurs.

Under no circumstances will the retail customer or any user or dealer or other person be entitled to any direct, special, indirect, consequential, or exemplary damages, for breach of contract, tort, or otherwise. Under no circumstances will any such person be entitled to any sum greater than the purchase price paid for the item of equipment that is malfunctioning.

To obtain service under this warranty, the retail customer must bring the malfunction of the machine to the attention of one of TAIS’ authorized dealers within the twenty-four (24) month period and no later than thirty (30) days after such malfunction, whichever first occurs. Failure to bring the malfunction to the attention of an authorized TAIS dealer within the prescribed time results in the customer being not entitled to warranty service.

THERE ARE NO OTHER WARRANTIES FROM EITHER TOSHIBA AMERICA INFORMATION SYSTEMS, INC., OR TOSHIBA CORPORATION WHICH EXTEND BEYOND THE FACE OF THIS WARRANTY. ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING THE WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND FITNESS FOR USE, ARE EXCLUDED.

Stratagy ES User Guide 04/05 1

The Grand Tour

Overview

Stratagy ES manages multiple voice processing functions simultaneously 24-hours-aday, seven-days-a-week. Your mailbox is always available for callers to leave private voice or fax (optional feature) messages. In addition, you can update your greeting at your convenience or send and receive messages from any touchtone telephone.

Callers control their own progress through the system. They no longer have to wait for a person to answer the telephone. If your extension is busy or you do not answer, callers can transfer to an operator, call another extension, or record a private, detailed message.

A representative in your company is assigned as the System Administrator for the system. The System Administrator is responsible for system maintenance that includes configuring your mailbox to suit your needs.

The configuration affects how and which features you can access. Whenever possible, this guide provides information concerning feature exceptions and which features may be configured to work differently.

You can access your mailbox from any tone-dialing telephone using your security code. After you access Stratagy ES, you hear the number of messages you have in your message folder(s), followed by a prompt from the Main Menu options (see Figure 1). You can then:

• Listen to your messages

• Send or forward messages

• Reply to messages

• Manage your mailbox (e.g., change your greetings, create distribution lists, etc.)

• Listen to your e-mail messages

Note This feature is only available to users of Stratagy ES with Unified Messaging

(UM) and Text-to-Speech (TTS) capabilities. Check with your System Administrator to find out if your system is configured for this feature.

Features to Personalize Your Mailbox

The Stratagy ES Voice Processing System offers a variety of features to personalize your mailbox. The following are a few of those features:

• Mailbox Security Code – Your mailbox has a security code. The code must be

entered by you in order to “log into” your mailbox, giving you access to your messages, settings, greetings, etc. (see “Change Your Security Code”

• Name Recording – Your name is announced whenever the directory is accessed,

you select the system greeting, or a message is sent by another Stratagy ES user. When you first enter your mailbox, you need to record your name (see “Record

You r N am e”

• Personal Greetings – You can record up to seven personal greetings that are played

when you are unavailable (see “Change Greeting”

• Guest Users – You can create guest mailboxes that can be used by clients, friends,

etc. Users frequently use this feature to create guest mailboxes for clients, so that they can easily exchange confidential information (see

on page 76

• Personal Folders – You can save your messages in up to seven personal folders you

create. The folders are for only your use and you can change them whenever necessary (see “Manage Personal Folders”

on page 20).

on page 54).

“Manage Guest Mailboxes”

on page 78).

on page 22).

Message Folders

Messages in the Stratagy ES are stored in message folders and play in the order received – FIFO (First In, First Out) or LIFO (Last In, First Out).

Your mailbox has one of the following folder configurations:

• A single message folder where all messages reside.

• Dual message folders – new, saved.

• Multiple message folders where, in addition to the new and saved folders, you can

create up to seven personal folders for your messages.

Note Consult your System Administrator for your mailbox’s programming.

4 Stratagy ES User Guide 04/05

The Grand Tour

Message Folders

Single Message Folder

Your messages reside in one message folder. When you access your mailbox, Stratagy ES announces you have “x messages, y is (are) new, z is (are) urgent, w fax(es).” New messages play based on the type (urgent messages play first) and order received (FIFO/LIFO). If no new messages exist, Stratagy ES plays any saved messages in the mailbox.

After you play the last message in the folder, Stratagy ES prompts, “End of messages.” You can choose to return to the top of the folder, etc.

Dual Message Folders

Your messages reside in one of two folders—new or saved. When you access your mailbox, Stratagy ES announces you have “x new, y is (are) urgent and z saved messages, w fax(es).”

New Message Folder

New messages consist of messages that are unheard.

When you press accesses the New Message Folder. A new message begins to play based on the type (urgent messages play first) and order received (FIFO/LIFO). After you play the last message in the folder, Stratagy ES prompts, “End of messages.” You can choose to return to the top of the folder, or go to the top of the saved folder.

Your Message Waiting LED only extinguishes when all new messages have been either deleted or saved.

Note You can enable a Message Pending feature on your mailbox. When enabled,

the system marks new messages that have been partially heard (for more than two seconds by default) as Pending. Pending messages remain in the New Message Folder; however, if the New Message Folder contains only Pending Messages, your Message Waiting LED goes out. This allows you to retain messages in the New Message Folder, yet alert you when new messages arrive. Messages marked as Pending also submit a Return Receipt notification to the sender of the message, if it was requested. Consult your System Administrator for further information.

Saved messages consist of messages that:

• You save by pressing  either during or after playing the message. Stratagy

prompts, “This message will be saved in the Saved Message Folder.”

• Stratagy ES automatically saves when you do not press  (delete) after playing the

message.

Messages are not moved to the Saved Message Folder until you log out of your mailbox, enabling you to return to the new message folder and replay the message.

After you play the last message in the folder, Stratagy ES prompts, “End of messages.” You can choose to return to the top of the folder, or go to the top of the new message folder by pressing

.

Multiple Message Folders

Your messages reside in up to nine folders— one new (folder 0), one saved (folder 1) and up to seven personal folders (folders 2~8), created by you for the purpose of saving your messages. The personal folders are for only your use. When you access your mailbox, Stratagy ES announces the number of messages you have in the same manner as the example in “Dual Message Folders”

Message folders enable you to store saved messages topically, providing better organization of important correspondence. You can record a comment for each folder, such as “Messages from Toshiba America,” to assist you in locating the right folder in which to store or retrieve a message.

Note To create or change personal folders, see “Manage Personal Folders” on page

on page 5.

6 Stratagy ES User Guide 04/05

The Grand Tour

Message Folders

New Message Folder

The New Message Folder is configured identically for both the Dual Message and Multiple Message Folder mailboxes with the following exception:

If no new messages exist in a Multiple Message Folder mailbox, Stratagy ES accesses the Saved Message Folder (if you have not created any personal folders) or plays the name/comment/number of all available personal folders. You are then requested to enter the folder number.

Saved Message Folder/Personal Message Folders

Saved messages consist of messages that:

• Stratagy ES automatically saves when you do not press  (delete) after playing the

entire message. The message is saved in the Saved Message Folder (folder 1), the default destination for saved messages. Stratagy ES prompts, “This message will be saved.”

• You save by pressing  either during or after playing the message. Stratagy ES

checks your mailbox for Personal Message Folders.

If personal folders do not exist, Stratagy ES saves the message in the Saved Message Folder (folder 1). Stratagy prompts, “This message will be saved.”

If Personal Message Folders

do exist, Stratagy ES plays the recorded name/

comment and number of all available personal folders. You are requested to enter a valid folder number where you want the message saved. If you know the personal folder number you want, you can select it at anytime. You do not have to listen to the entire list of available folders. If an invalid number is entered, Stratagy ES automatically saves the message in folder 1.

Messages are not moved to a “save” folder until you log out of your mailbox, enabling you to return to the new message folder and replay the message.

After you play the last message in the folder, Stratagy ES prompts, “End of messages.” You can choose to return to the top of the folder, go to the top of another folder, etc.

Forwarded Message

Any message sent to you can be forwarded to one or more individual destinations or a personal or system distribution list. When forwarding a message, recording a message (comment) is optional.

Reply Message

Messages from other Stratagy ES users to which you want to send an immediate response can be sent as a reply message. When replying to a message, Stratagy ES does not prompt you to select the destination if the original message was recorded within a user’s mailbox. If the message was not recorded from a user’s mailbox, you can still reply to the message but the system requests that you enter a destination mailbox number.

Fax Message

Note Fax Messaging is an optional feature in the Stratagy ES. Check with your

System Administrator to find out if your system is configured for this feature.

Fax messages can be sent to your mailbox and stored or forwarded along with voice messages. When you access your mailbox, Stratagy ES tells you the number of fax messages that are in your mailbox. Once you access the fax message, Stratagy ES plays the header information that includes the number of pages received. You cannot listen to the actual fax document.

You can forward the fax to other users as you would a voice message, including sending a voice comment with the fax to provide information about the message. You can also print the fax. See “Special Functions” on page 29 for details.

E-mail Message

Note This feature is only available to users of Stratagy ES with Unified Messaging

(UM) and Text-to-Speech (TTS) capabilities. Check with your System Administrator to find out if your system is configured for this feature.

You can retrieve and listen to your e-mail messages from your mailbox. Once you access the e-mail message, Stratagy ES plays the header information that includes sender information and time and then plays the content. Upon playing the e-mail message you can:

• Delete it from your e-mail Inbox on your computer. E-mails that are not deleted

remain in your e-mail Inbox and are played the next time you access this function.

• Forward it to other users that have UM privileges. The destination user must have

both a Stratagy ES voice mailbox and an e-mail address that has been defined in the destination user’s mailbox.

• Reply to a e-mail message. The Stratagy ES generates an e-mail message with your

recorded reply attached as an audio .wav file, and sent back to the originator.

Greetings

You can select either a personal or system greeting to play to callers when you do not answer or when your telephone is busy.

Depending on how your system is configured, callers may hear a separate busy greeting—the system or the custom busy greeting. See “Change User Options” on page

59 for details.

Personal

Personal greetings are greetings that you record for callers. Stratagy ES stores all recorded greetings under the personal greeting number (1~7) for your mailbox. Using the greeting number, you can select which greeting plays.

The System Administrator can also schedule your greetings to automatically play at different times. If you choose, you can override the automatic schedule using “Select a

Personal Greeting”

System

The system greeting is a standard prerecorded greeting with all Stratagy ES systems. It cannot be recorded over or deleted. The greeting states, “Please leave a message for (name).” Stratagy ES adds your name from the name recording that you made (see

“Record Your Name”

on page 57.

on page 20).

Busy

If your mailbox is configured for a personal busy greeting, you can record a custom busy greeting that plays when your extension is busy. If a custom greeting is not recorded, the default system busy greeting plays.The custom busy greeting can also be turned On/Off using the Select Your Busy Greeting option on the Change User Options Menu (see “Select Busy Greeting”

Note The System Administrator must configure your mailbox for the custom busy

greeting option to be available.

10 Stratagy ES User Guide 04/05

on page 63).

Special Delivery Options

In addition to recording and sending a new message, you can mark the message urgent, private, or request a return receipt.

Urgent

Messages can be marked urgent by the sender and always play first in the New Message Folder. After the message plays, the urgent status is removed.

Private

Messages can be marked private by the sender. The same options, such as saving and deleting, apply to the private messages; however, a private message cannot be forwarded or copied using the Automatic Message Copy feature. Once a message is sent, the private status cannot be removed.

Return Receipt

You can mark a message for Return Receipt if you want verification that it has been played. When a user completely plays a message marked for Return Receipt, a notification is sent back to the sender. Stratagy ES notifies the sender the time the message was heard and by whom and then plays the original message as a reminder of the message. This can be helpful if multiple messages were sent to the same destination with Return Receipt requested.

Special Delivery Options

Future Delivery

Stratagy ES can be configured so that your message is delivered at a future specified time and date. After marking the message for future delivery, you can review (play, save, delete) the message at any time before it is sent (see “ Future Delivery Review”

on page 30).

Message Destination Selections

At the beginning of the Send Messages menu, you are asked to enter the destination mailbox number(s).You can choose to enter a single destination (e.g., mailbox number) or multiple destinations (e.g., mailbox number, personal lists). Using the Multiple Destinations option enables you to address your message to all the recipients at the start of the menu.

You can then record your message and, if desired, add additional destinations when prompted later in the menu. Valid destinations are:

• Mailbox Number

Note If you don’t know the user’s mailbox number, you can locate the mailbox

number on Stratagy ES’s system-wide directory by pressing

• Personal distribution list

• System distribution list

• Audio Messaging Interchange Specification (AMIS) Proxy mailbox number

• AMIS Gateway number plus a remote mailbox number

Note AMIS analog networking is an optional feature and enables a Stratagy

mailbox user to send, receive and reply to relayed voice messages over any remote voice mail system that supports the AMIS analog protocol.

.

See “Send a Message”

on page 39 for instructions on using these options.

Personal Distribution Lists

You can create up to 25 Personal Distribution Lists consisting of other system users. You can add or delete users at any time. The lists are for only your use.

At the time you create a list, you are given the option of recording a “list comment” that serves as the title or name for the list. The comment plays each time you use the list to confirm that you have chosen the correct distribution list.

Message Destination Selections

System Distribution Lists

In addition to Personal Distribution Lists, Stratagy ES supports system-wide distribution lists created by the System Administrator for use by everyone in your company. You should check with your System Administrator to find out which lists are available.

The “list comment” for the selected system list is played whenever you enter the mailbox number to confirm that the right list has been chosen.

Important! When creating lists, you should keep in mind that Stratagy ES does not

check for duplicate users on separate lists when sending a message. For example, if you select Personal Distribution List #1 and #3 as destinations for your message and Mailbox Number 1001 is on both lists, the message is sent twice to Mailbox Number 1001.

User Options

You can set your mailbox for Do Not Disturb (DND) or call screening, select or record a busy greeting (plays when your telephone is busy), designate where or how you are notified of a message, and set your mailbox to automatically copy messages to another mailbox.

The following is a brief description of each of the options. Please see “Change User

Getting Started 2

This chapter instructs you on accessing and exiting your mailbox and outlines the user tutorial steps.

User Tutorial

When you log on to the Stratagy ES Voice Processing system for the very first time, you hear a tutorial that walks you through the following basic steps:

• Record your name. Your name is announced whenever the directory is accessed,

you select the system greeting, or another Stratagy ES user sends a message to you.

• Record your personal greeting. Your personal greeting automatically plays when

you are not available to answer your telephone.

• Change the default security code for your mailbox to ensure privacy. You should

change it on a regular basis.

Note If you do not complete the tutorial before hanging up, Stratagy ES saves any

completed portion (e.g., your name recording) and restarts where you left off the next time you log on to your mailbox. Once the Stratagy ES tutorial is completed successfully, it cannot be replayed.
