Overview1
This chapter covers the qualifications of Installers and System Administrators and provides an
overview of basic features and Feature Groups.
System Administrators
Service Technicians install, upgrade, and maintain the Stratagy ES system. System Administrators’
functions vary by company.
Your company will assign all or some System Administrator functions to an employee who knows
your telephone system, organizational structure, and the needs of your customers and employees.
The Toshiba Dealer’s Technical Service Representative will perform the remaining functions.
System Administrator functions may include:
•Initial setup (assisting the Installer with defining your company’s configuration and
customization requirements)
•Customizing mailboxes
•Generating reports
Overview
•Performing system shutdown and restart
•Backing up the system
Basic Features
Stratagy ES provides User Agents, Voice Messaging, Automated Attendant and Telephone
Answering as standard features with Fax Server (feature to be added later), ASR AA, UM, TTS/
Email and IVR as options.
See Chapter 4 – Voice Processing for more details.
User Agents
Stratagy ES is a system capable of numerous applications. Most applications are performed by
software objects that hold properties and privileges for various functions. These objects are called
User Agents. Similar to the User ID concept in the DOS-based Stratagy systems, a User Agent can
be used to define a Class of Service, a system distribution list, an IVR application, a user mailbox,
an AMIS Gateway or Proxy mailbox, a Voice Profile Internet Mail (VPIM) Gateway or Proxy
mailbox and the Direct Send Voice or Fax (feature to be added later) function. It is the properties
of the User Agent that determines its identity.
Throughout this manual, you will see various forms of User Agents, most notably in a voice
mailbox identity. Once a User Agent is created and defined as a mailbox, the system software, voice
prompts, and eManager Administration screens refer to it as a mailbox and not a User Agent. To
better understand this concept, consider a User Agent to be a template that can be used to form
numerous applications.

Overview
Basic Features
Voice Messaging
Automated Attendant
Answer Company Lines
Available All of the Time
Voice messaging features enable users to create, send, receive and save voice messages. Users can
access their messages from any touchtone telephone and perform many voice messaging functions
(e.g., play, edit, delete, or forward messages). Stratagy ES users can also use many of the same
functions for an optional fax messaging application (feature to be added later).
The Stratagy ES system’s Automated Attendant application can be set up to solve various
answering requirements.
Callers do not have to wait when the operator is busy with other calls. Company lines are answered
quickly and courteously by customized, automated greetings. If callers have a rotary phone or do
not know the extension, they are directed to an operator for assistance; or, if the Stratagy ES is
equipped with ASR AA, the caller can say the user’s name and the ASR AA feature directs the call
to the appropriate extension.
Callers can reach the Stratagy ES from any touchtone telephone 24-hours-a-day, 365-days-a-year.
Call Routing
Once a call is answered by voice mail, callers are routed to the extension, department, etc., they
enter. If the extension number is not known, a company directory can be used by entering the first
few letters of a user’s name on the dial pad. If Stratagy ES is equipped with ASR AA, callers can
also say the user’s name and be routed to the extension they want.
Stratagy ES can also be set up to direct rotary callers to an operator for assistance. Additionally, if
the line is unanswered or busy, the call can be routed to another extension or to the company
operator.
If all extensions are unavailable, callers can hold or hang up. If they hold, they are placed in a queue.
They are then periodically told of their position in the queue and can be offered options to hold for
the next available assistant, leave a message or dial another extension.
If a fax tone is detected, voice mail automatically transfers the call to a fax machine connected to a
telephone system extension.
Provides Callers with Information
Callers can receive prerecorded information such as the company address, directions, product
specifications, service offerings and price information (also described as an Audiotex feature).
Telephone Answering
Stratagy ES offers comprehensive message taking capabilities by providing telephone answering
when an individual is busy or unavailable.
Up to seven greetings per mailbox can be recorded and scheduled to play at various times of the
day. This ensures coverage 24-hours-a-day, 7-days-a-week.
When extensions are busy or do not answer, the system plays the appropriate busy or personal
greeting and offers the caller the choices of leaving a message, calling another extension, holding,
call queuing, or receiving assistance.
See Chapter 4 – Voice Processing for more details.

Fax Tone Detection
Overview
Feature Groups
Whenever voice mail detects a fax CNG tone at the caller menu, it automatically loads mailbox 994
(default fax box). Mailbox 994 acts as a system fax box that keeps all the incoming faxes that do
not address a specific mailbox number. This mailbox can also be programmed to transfer fax calls
to an external fax machine.
NotePorts configured for ASR AA cannot perform Fax Tone Detection.
Multiple System Languages
Stratagy ES can be configured with any number of different audio prompt files and communicate
in different languages on different ports simultaneously. American English comes as a standard
prompt option.
Feature Groups
Feature Groups are software components that can perform discretely or in conjunction with other
Feature Groups. For example, some Fax Server (feature to be added later) features work in
conjunction with Unified Messaging.
A majority of the Feature Groups within the Stratagy ES software are implemented using an
advanced technology, such as ASR and TTS.
Feature Groups provide specific functionality. For example, the ASR Automated Attendant (ASR
AA) Feature Group provides a set speech enabled automated attendant function.
This section will include some detail on the technology of Feature Groups.
Overview
Enabling Feature Groups
Feature Groups are enabled by purchasing a license for the feature group through the Toshiba FYI
site at http://fyi.tsd.toshiba.com. Once you have purchased the license, follow the detailed
instructions in “MAS Licensing” on page 2-9 to activate the license.
Fax Server (feature to be added later)
NoteSee Chapter 5 – Fax Server for complete details on this feature.
The Voice Mail Application provides a comprehensive set of fax capabilities to use either from the
phone or from the user’s PC. Some of the functions available will be:
•Send a fax message
•Fax Mail – immediate retrieval
•Fax Mail – send/retrieve
•Fax on Demand/Fax Back
•Fax Broadcasting – custom IVR application enabling single or multiple fax documents to be
transmitted to a single or multiple list of clients that are stored in a database.
•Client Fax Printer Driver available with the UM Feature Group
•UM used in conjunction with the fax server will provide a Fax Viewer that enables the fax to be
read from the user’s PC.
The Fax Server is supported by software called SoftFAX. When licensed for the Fax Feature Group,
two channels of Fax will be available for each eight channels of voice.
NoteSee Chapter 6 – Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) for complete details on this
feature.
Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) is the term for recognizing human speech. It is used to create
a more natural way of interacting with machines.
The ASR AA Feature Group supports up to 250 names in its directory, and comes with a User Login
and Quick Message feature.
The ASR Feature Group comes with two channels of ASR resources.
Important!
•Ports that are configured for ASR AA can only accept inbound voice mail integration using
Simplified Message Desk Interface (SMDI). Dual Tone Multi-frequency (DTMF) in-band
integration is not supported on these ports. If DTMF integration is necessary, additional ports
not configured for ASR Auto Attendant are required.
•Ports configured for ASR AA cannot perform Fax Tone Detection.
The Stratagy ES’ Media Application Server provides the processing power required for the ASR
Feature Group, no additional speech-related hardware is required. A maximum capacity of eight
channels of ASR can be invoked simultaneously.
Unified Messaging (UM)
NoteSee Chapter 7 – Unified Messaging (UM) for details on this feature.
Stratagy ES integrates with e-mail servers to insert voice messages into an e-mail client in-box.
Stratagy ES provides two Unified Messaging client solutions, Microsoft
and Internet Protocol (IP) Integration.
For a complete Unified Messaging solution, the Voice Mail Application must also be equipped with
the Fax Server Feature Group (feature to be added later) and boards, if required.
Microsoft Outlook Integration
Stratagy ES has a proprietary integration designed to work with Microsoft Outlook. With this
proprietary integration, voice messages are displayed along with e-mail messages in the Outlook
Inbox screen.
When a voice message is selected, a Toshiba designed edit screen is automatically presented that
enables voice playback through the multimedia speakers of the user’s PC, or if desired, through the
user’s telephone.
When a fax message (fax feature to added later) is selected, a preloaded fax viewer software is
launched with the fax image loaded. The fax viewer software can be any Tagged Image File Format
(TIFF) format compatible software of the user’s choice.
This integration does not require Microsoft Exchange as the e-mail server. Any e-mail
server/service that is compatible with the Simple Message Transport Protocol (SMTP), Post Office
Protocol version 3 (POP3) or Internet Message Access Protocol 4 (IMAP4) Internet protocols is
supported.
® Outlook® Integration
1-4Strata CIX Voice Mail Programming 01/07
Page 21
Internet Message Access Protocol 4 (IMAP4) Synchronization
If IMAP4 is selected, the following occurs:
•If a user logs into his/her voice mail via the TUI and deletes a message, Stratagy uses IMAP to
identify and delete the message in the e-mail server. This also deletes the messages from the
user’s e-mail client inbox screen if the messages were displayed on it at the time.
If a user logs into his/her voice mail via the TUI and listens to a message in the NEW folder, the
corresponding message in the e-mail server or e-mail client inbox is flagged as “read” or
“seen.” This includes messages that are marked by Stratagy as Pending and kept in the New
Message folder. Messages marked as Deleted are not actually deleted until the user logs out
from his or her UM-enabled mailbox.
•If Stratagy voice messages are deleted in the e-mail client, the corresponding messages in the
Stratagy system are deleted or saved to a Personal message folder of the user’s voice mailbox.
Whether the message is deleted or moved to a Personal Folder is a configurable option within
each mailbox. If the Message Transport Scheme field on the Mailbox Editor Unified Messaging
Tab screen is set to IP Standard, this synchronization is performed periodically via the Stratagy
Scheduler feature. If that field is set to SES Proprietary, the update is performed realtime.
Internet Protocol Integration
Stratagy ES sends voice messages to any e-mail service that supports the SMTP and POP3 Internet
protocols. With this integration any e-mail client that supports SMTP/POP3 (e.g., Eudora Pro
Netscape Messenger) receives Stratagy ES voice messages as e-mail messages with audio (voice
messages) file attachments. Though not as proficient as the Microsoft Outlook Integration, the
Internet Protocol (IP) Integration provides limited Unified Messaging capabilities for users who
want to use an e-mail client other than Microsoft Outlook. IMAP4 synchronization is also available
using this method of Unified Messaging.
Overview
Feature Groups
Overview
™,
Message Disposition Notification (MDN)
Stratagy adds a Message Disposition Notification (MDN) request when it sends a voice message to
the e-mail server. When the user opens up a voice message (sent by Stratagy), a MDN is sent to
Stratagy voice mail. As soon as Stratagy receives the MDN, it deletes or saves the messages in the
user’s mailbox. Whether the message is deleted or saved is a configurable option within each
mailbox. Some e-mail servers may not support MDN protocol or may label it in some other manner.
Check their documentation for Return Receipt operation across the Internet.
Text-To-Speech (TTS)
NoteSee Chapter 8 – Text-to-Speech (TTS) for details on this feature.
TTS is the term for converting text to computer-generated speech output. It is used in applications
where the customer either does not want to use the disk space or does not have the required disk
space to record every necessary variable in a database. This is particularly effective for speaking
e-mail messages using the telephone user interface.
The TTS/Email Feature Group enables e-mail messages to be read back to users via the Telephone
User Interface (TUI) and requires voice mail to be equipped with the UM Feature Group.
TTS/Email capabilities are delivered in a host-based configuration. The Media Application Server
provides the processing power for TTS.

Overview
System Software
System Software
Stratagy ES’s flexibility is provided by the Windows® XP operating system and the voice mail
software. The following provides a brief overview of the system software.
Important!Older Stratagy ES software is not supported on Windows XP.
Windows XP
This multi-tasking operating system controls all processing functions through the use of Windowsbased menus and icons that provide administration, configuration, diagnostics, system monitoring,
and reporting functions.
Diagnostic Programs
On-line diagnostic tests for Windows XP and voice mail run continuously to detect and report errors
in operation. The tests run in the background and do not interfere with normal system operation.
Other diagnostic tests can be run upon demand, either from a directly-connected or remote terminal.
eManager Software
The eManager Administration program uses a Graphical User Interface (GUI) and is composed of
the configuration screens and other administrative menus for the system.
System configuration consists of eleven screens—Telephone System Integration, Answer Methods,
Voice Ports, Serial Ports, Notification Port Groups, Statistical Port Groups, Scheduler, Language,
Parameters, and Voice Menu. These screens serve as the basis for configuring and programming the
voice mail basic system operating procedures.
Voice Mail configuration consists of ten screens—Mailbox, Mailbox COS, Distribution List, IVR,
AMIS Gateway and Proxy, VPIM Gateway and Proxy, Direct Send Voice and Direct Send Fax (not
supported at this time).
In addition to the configuration screens, you can also run reports using prepro grammed templates
and reports—Port Statistics, Port Group Statistics, All Port Statistics, Mailbox Call Statistics,
Mailbox Usage, Mailbox Info/Status, Mailbox Message Statistics, System Information, Mailbox
Template, and AMIS/VPIM Template.
eManager software can also be installed on a separate Windows 2000/ME/98 or Windows NT
computer for remote administration over a network. Remote Access Service (RAS) capability
enables administration via a Local Area Network (LAN) connection.
The eManager Administration softwa re program i s preloaded on every system an d is co mposed of
the administrative and configuration menus for the system. Operating software, voice p rompts, and
database access utilities are all stored on the Media Application Server’s hard drive.
Administrative Menus
A series of voice processing menus enable an Installer or System Administrator to customize:
•Enable and disable configuration and mailbox features
•Define and configure features
•View status of voice ports
•Define and generate system reports
•Define telephone system integration
•Program user mailboxes
1-6Strata CIX Voice Mail Programming 01/07
Page 23
Configuration Wizard
The Configuration Wizard guides the Administrator through the Stratagy ES basic operation setup.
It includes:
•Configure the System Database – specifies telephone systems, set up voice lines and answering
methods for Automated Attendant and designate holidays.
•Configure User Agents Database – creates Class of Service (COS) and user mailboxes.
System Integration
The following is a partial list of the system integrations supported by the Voice Mail Application.
Proprietary Integration
The Proprietary Integration between the Stratagy ES software and a Strata CIX system only requires
the IP network connection between the two systems.
If a company has a Toshiba Strata CIX phone system and Toshiba Strata 2000- or 3000-series
digital phones, this proprietary integration provides interoperability between the Stratagy ES and
the Strata CIX.
Overview
System Integration
Overview
•Soft Key Control of Voice Mail – Working in conjunction with the LCD digital telephones of
the Strata CIX, voice mail integration provides a visual display of the voice mailbox user menu.
Menu navigation can be accomplished by use of the soft keys adjacent to the various menu
options on the display.
•Call Record – By using a programmable feature key called Record on the digital telephones of
the Strata CIX, users have the ability of recording live telephone conversations directly into
voice mailboxes on the Voice Mail Application.
NoteOnce the Record button is pressed, the Record LED flashes rapidly and there is
approximately a one second interval (in extreme busy conditions, up to five seconds)
before the recording starts and the Record LED changes to the in-use interval flash rate.
A secondary feature key can be programmed to pause/resume the recording.
This integration requires both the Strata CIX and the Stratagy ES be properly configured to work
with each other.
Centralized Voice Mail
The Stratagy ES Voice Mail Application can be configured to service environments such as,
enterprise-modeled businesses with multiple office locations and office suites.
Companies with multiple Strata CIX systems networked together using Toshiba’s StrataNet can be
supported by one Stratagy ES for all voice mail requirements.
NoteCall Record and Soft Key Control of Voice Mail features are not available across the
StrataNet network nodes.
To take this capability one step further, each mailbox can also be configured to perform a separate
set of transfer commands than those defined for the CIX the Stratagy ES is connected to locally.
This means that calls can be transferred to cell phones and home offices, while the Voice Mail
Application still maintains control in order to provide alternate call routing options or voice
messaging features in case of an unsuccessful transfer.

Maintenance
Maintenance
Toshiba Voice Mail Application hardware and software base platforms are easily maintained by a
Toshiba authorized dealer. Procedures for backing up, restoring and maintaining the system,
Feature Groups, and call processing database information are efficient and easily performed by
trained administrators and technical personnel.
Trace and Log Utilities
These features are used to analyze the voice mail functions and system operation for development
and troubleshooting.
Voice mail traces system behavior without shutting down the system. The Trace function starts at
system startup time and logs the information related to each individual call, mailbox, port, thread
and message.
The Log function provides four types of data: user mailbox log in/log out, messages, abnormal
events and ckdb (check database) results.

eManager2
eManager™ is a powerful Microsoft® Windows®-based telephone system management tool used
to program, maintain and upgrade the Strata CIX Digital Business Telephone System and
Stratagy ES Voice Mail System. eManager normally resides on the Media Application Server
(MAS) with the Stratagy ES and ACD applications or loaded on a Server with network access to
CIX and the applications on the MAS.
The Client’s PC (see “Client PC” on page 2-14 for specifications) must have Microsoft® Internet
Explorer 6.00 or above. The user connects to eManager with the browser in the same manner as
connecting to any Website.
NoteAt this time eManager only supports Windows IE. Other browsers are not supported.
eManager uses a variety of networking and software technologies as follows:
•Local Area Network (LAN) – System Administrators can connect their PC to
Strata CIX via a network interface jack or modem. eManager views the Strata CIX system and
Stratagy ES as a LAN providing a stable environment in which to program and access data.
•Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) – enables query-based information retrieval
and event notification. WMI is an access mechanism which enables eManager to access,
monitor, command and control Strata CI X and Stratagy ES.
•Virtual Web Server and Manager – creates a virtual World Wide Web environment in
Strata CIX and Stratagy ES. This technology enables eManager to view Strata CIX and
Stratagy ES as service providers providing services for the system administrator.
•Microsoft Internet Explorer® browser access – Virtual Web Service enables System
Administrators to access Strata CIX and Stratagy ES using the Internet Explorer browser.
•eManager Graphical User Interface (GUI) – Sophisticated programming tasks are just a
click-of-the-mouse away with eManager’s GUI.
•Mobile Access – enables System Administrators to program, maintain, and/or upgrade a
Strata CIX and Stratagy ES from any mobile location with an Internet connection—without
ever leaving the office.
•Internet Access – eManager uses Microsoft IP technology to enable access to your Strata CIX
and Stratagy ES as easy as browsing the World Wide Web.
•Internet Explorer – provides a stable environment in which to program, maintain and
upgrade your Strata CIX and Stratagy ES.
eManager’s tight integration of the above technologies provide System Administrators with
convenient, stable, user friendly and comprehensive access to Strata CIX/Stratagy ES system
information.
eManager can connect directly to your Strata CIX Digital Business T elephone System/Stratagy ES
Voice Mail System via Network Interface (located on the Strata CIX’s processor board). Mobile
System Administrators can access a Strata CIX/Stratagy ES system from any location that
provides Internet access.

Telephone Systems
f
The Stratagy ES supports multiple telephone system integrations. Each integrated system includes
a set of integration characteristics, such as integration dial codes and integration patterns to support
either DTMF or SMDI.
NoteEach Stratagy ES system has been pre-configured at the factory for out-of-box operation
with a Toshiba Strata CIX telephone system. This includes the required programming for
CTX Proprietary Integration, Reserved Mailboxes (e.g., 990, 998, etc.), and the factory
recorded company and instructional greetings for mailbox 990.
The Telephone Systems screen (see Figure 3-2, Table 3-2) enables a user to define all telephone
systems which are either directly connected to the Stratagy ES MAS or are host telephone systems
of one or more mailbox owners.

Language
Voice mail can be configured to communicate in different languages (default is American
English).The Language screen (see Figure 3-9, Table 3-9) enables you to configure the new
languages for the voice mail. This includes:
•System prompts that give callers and users instructions for message recording and mailbox
management.
•Each mailbox can be assigned to one or more of the configured languages, so greetings and
instructions for message recording are spoken in the predefined language.
At present the two available languages are American English (system default) and French.
Important!American English is the standard language of the Stratagy ES software. Spanish
prompts are also available as an option (part number SES-SPANISH-SYS). Other
languages for system prompts, as well as the Voice Mail Soft Keys, is a custom
option that is available from Toshiba DSD’s Integrated Software Solutions Group.
Please contact a TSD Regional Sales Manager for more details.

Parameters
The Parameters screen enables you to change voice mail’s system options and parameters, define
timeout values, and set AMIS, VPIM configurations.
Most voice mail system parameters do not require modification. Default values can be modified as
required and system parameters can be added or deleted.
Important!
•You must contact Toshiba Technical Support if you need to add or delete a parameter to/from
the Parameters List.
A parameter added to the system must be an already recognized system parameter and cannot
be created by the individual installer/technician. Deleting a parameter could cause the system
to fail if the parameter is tied into more than one operation.
•We recommend that you use the Windows XP Backup Utility (see “Backup Procedure” on page
13-1) to periodically preserve system data. Before making changes to this selection, ensure you
have a current backup.

Parameters
sys_fixed_len0Maximum number of digits voice mail expects when a caller dials a mailbox
number beginning with 0.
There is only one mailbox that can have zero as its first digit, and that is
Mailbox Number 0. If the value of this parameter is changed to 1, and a caller
dials 0 in a place where a mailbox number is expected, then voice mail
immediately accepts the 0 as the mailbox number and goes to the next
processing step. If the parameter’s value is left at 8, then a timeout or pound
sign (#) is required to terminate the mailbox number. This latter procedure is
compatible with earlier versions of Stratagy.
Possible values: 1~8
Default: 8
sys_fixed_len1Maximum number of digits voice mail expects when a caller dials a mailbox
number beginning with 1.
When changing this value, make certain that it is still possible to log in and
send messages to all existing mailboxes that begin with this digit. For
example, if there are five-digit mailboxes that begin with this digit, then you
should not set the value of this parameter less than five. Check all
mailboxes, including users, guests, and reserved (411, 990, etc.)
Possible values: 1~8
Default: 8
sys_fixed_len2Maximum number of digits voice mail expects when a caller dials a mailbox
number beginning with 2.
When changing this value, make certain that it is still possible to log in and

Voice Processing4
This chapter gives instructions on using the User Agent function for voice processing. It covers in
detail the Mailbox Editor Menu and how to create, modify and delete mailboxes (e.g., COS, user,
Distribution List, Direct Send Voice).
User Agent(s)
The Stratagy ES is a system capable of numerous applications. Most applications are performed by
software objects that hold properties and privileges for various functions. These objects are called
User Agents. Similar to the User ID concept in the DOS-based Stratagy ES systems, a User Agent
can be used to define a COS, a system distribution list, or a user mailbox. It is the properties of the
User Agent that determines it’s identity.
Once a User Agent is created and defined as a mailbox, the system software, voice prompts, and
Administration screens refer to it as a mailbox and not a User Agent. To better understand this
concept, consider a User Agent to be a template that can be used to form numerous applications.
The following User Agents are available:
•COS (see “Class of Service (COS)” on page 4-3 ).
•Mailbox (see “User Mailbox” on page 4-5 ).
•Distribution List (see “Distribution List (System)” on page 4-48 ).
•IVR
•AMIS Gateway and AMIS Proxy (see “AMIS Networking” on page 10-5 ).
•VPIM Gateway and VPIM Proxy (see “VPIM Networking” on page 10-13 ).
•Direct Send Voice (see “Direct Send Voice” on page 4-50 ).
•Direct Send Fax (see “Direct Send Fax” on page 4-51 ).

Stratagy’s design revolves around user mailboxes. How a user mailbox has been customized
determines what a caller hears and is able to do. For example, if Mailbox 990 contains the initial
company greeting, a caller accessing Mailbox 990 hears the greeting recorded as the greeting for
Mailbox 990.
Defined User Agents
Stratagy ES comes with several defined User Agents. Each of the following User Agents have been
defined by Toshiba to perform a specific function.
User Agent 900: ASR Auto Attendant default User Agent – ASR Automated Attendant default
User Agent.
User Agent 988: Direct Send Fax –User Agent used to send fax messages to other voice mail
users. See the Stratagy ES User Guide for details on using this User Agent.
NoteThis feature is not currently supported.
User Agent 989: AMIS Loopback – User Agent used by other AMIS nodes for testing the
network. Any AMIS message directed to this User Agent is sent back to the sender, if accessible to
Stratagy. By default, the User Agent is disabled. See the voice mail system configuration parameter
sys_amis_ltm under “AMIS User Agents” on page 10-5 .
User Agent 998: Direct Send Voice – Direct Send Voice User Agent for all ports. Voice mail
records a message for a mailbox number without having to execute the Extension field and/or hear
the mailbox’s greeting. This is particularly useful for an Operator transferring directly to voice mail.

Page 89
Class of Service (COS)
Stratagy ES has the ability to centrally manage the attributes of mailboxes with User Agents called
Class of Service (COS).
The COS design is based on a parent/dependent concept. The COS assignment within a mailbox
User Agent and any mailbox that references that number in the Class of Service field inherits the
feature set or properties of the parent COS and is considered a dependent.
Any changes to the parent COS affect the corresponding dependent mailboxes. However, any
change made to an individual dependent mailbox does not change other mailboxes belonging to the
COS. (See “Inherit Function” on page 4-3 for instructions on making changes to dependent
mailboxes.)
With a COS design, a feature belonging to a group of mailboxes can be modified by simply making
the change in the COS User Agent that is the master or parent of the g roup. If a mailbox has no COS
number, it is considered independent and is not affected by a COS.
The following rules apply to Classes of Service:
•Mailboxes can be taken out of COS by selecting the No COS selection in the Class of Service
field.
•Established mailboxes given a COS number after their creation only inherit changes that are
made after they have been included in the group.
•A COS User Agent cannot be deleted until its COS number has been removed from all
dependent mailboxes.
•If a COS is copied, the new (copied) COS inherits all attributes of the original COS but remains
independent from the original COS.
Voice Processing
Class of Service (COS)
•If a dependent mailbox is copied, the new mailbox becomes a dependent mailbox and a part o f
the COS group.
Inherit Function
When you right-click a Mailbox Editor screen field, a small
“Inherited” box displays. If the box is checked, the field has
inherited the setting from the COS parent’s mailbox (shown right).
If the box is unchecked, the field has not been inherited.
If you modify the value in an Inherited field, the Inherited check
mark is removed when you display the “Inherited” box. To chang e
the field back to the inherited value, right click on the field and
when the Inherited box displays, check the box.

User Mailbox
Stratagy’s design revolves around user mailboxes. How a user mailbox has been customized
determines what a caller hears and is able to do. For example, if Mailbox 990 contains the initial
company greeting, a caller accessing Mailbox 990 hears the greeting recorded as the greeting for
Mailbox 990.
Reserved Mailboxes
Voice mail comes with several reserved mailboxes. Only Mailbox 999 cannot be assigned to
another mailbox number. Each of the following mailboxes performs a specific function.
Mailbox 0: Operator – For an after hours caller who is unable to direct his own call or does not
know the extension of the person he wants to reach.
Mailbox 987: IP Address – Plays the Stratagy ES MAS IP address to the caller.
Mailbox 990: Company Greeting – The salutation that lets the caller know which company he
called.
Mailbox 994: Fax Tone Detect – Mailbox voice mail “jumps” to when voice mail detects a carrier
tone originating from a remote fax machine.
Mailbox 995: ASR Auto Attendant COS – Mailbox voice mail uses for the default values when
creating a Company Greeting User Agent for an ASR Auto Attendant application other than 900

FIELDDESCRIPTION
Mailbox IDMailbox number. Usually associated with a telephone extension (for simplicity).
Employees without a telephone extension can have a mailbox from which they can
send and receive messages. Mailboxes can be used for special functions such as
directories or question and answer surveys.
Note This field displays at the top of all Mailbox Editor screens.
Possible values: 0~99999999 (must be unique).
ExtensionProgrammed dial actions voice mail performs to transfer a call that has accessed
the mailbox (i.e., Do Not Disturb is Off). Includes transfer to a mailbox, a remote
number, or paging. Normally a simple extension number.
Required by a COS mailbox.
Note This field may be modified by the Auto Scheduler. Any changes to the field’s
value (including directly changing the value or reverting the value to the
parent’s COS) is only temporary, and lasts only until the next scheduled
change.
Default:value entered in Mailbox ID field.
CommentNotation or reminder about the function of the mailbox. This field is 16 characters
long. Default is a blank field. Only field not affected if changes are made to the COS
parent mailbox.
For example, a mailbox may be identified by function (extension, information box,
etc.) or contents (greeting, directory, etc.).
Name 1The first of two names voice mail searches when a caller uses the directory (default
411). The field is 16 characters long. Entries can contain any alphabetical
characters. Digits 2~9 are allowed for entry by the System Administrator via a tonedialing telephone’s dial pad. They cannot contain spaces or digits 0 and 1.
For most companies, this is the mailbox user’s first name. For COS mailboxes, this
field is used as the mailbox identifier. For example, if you type “Special” in this field
and “Mailbox” in the Name 2 field, “Special Mailbox” appears in the BoxList Name
field and in the COS Explore list.
Notes
lIt is important that each user record his/her name.
lWhen the System Administrator enters a user’s name into the directory using
the telephone dial pad, the name is stored in the Options screen Directory
Name 1 and Name 2 fields as numeric digits. For administration clarity, it is
advisable to change the digits to their alpha equivalents.
The directory works as follows. If a caller wants to speak with Donna, the caller
would enter digits corresponding to these letters on the tone-dialing telephone (i.e.,
36662). For the first mailbox Directory Name field that matches the caller’s entry,
voice mail plays the name recording.
Depending upon the System Configuration parameter sys_directory_app_uid, voice
mail also plays the digits of the Mailbox ID field. If no name recording is available,
depending on the sys_directory_app_uid setting, voice mail does not present an
entry or play the digits of the Mailbox ID field.

FIELDDESCRIPTION
Name 1 (continued)Since voice mail plays the name recording of all mailboxes that match a caller’s
entry for the company directory, you can use this capability as a general search and
playback system. The digit string used for directory searching is defined using the
sys_box_idx System Configuration parameter.
For details about the System Configuration parameters, see Chapter 3 — Voice Mail
Configuration. For users who do not wish to have their name accessible from the
directory, leave this field blank.
Note This field displays at the top of all Mailbox Editor screens.
Name 2The second of two names voice mail may search when a caller uses the directory
(default 411). The field is 16 characters long. Entries can contain any alphabetical
characters. Digits 2~9 are allowed for entry by the System Administrator via a
tone-dialing telephone’s dial pad. They cannot contain spaces or digits 0 and 1.
For most companies, this is the mailbox user’s last name or another way to
reference this user, such as a variation in spelling (Cathy, Kathy) or a nickname
(Michael, Mike). It can also be used for the name of an additional user when a
mailbox is shared.
For COS, this field is used as the mailbox identifier (see “Name 1” on page 4-10 ).
For users who do not wish to have their name accessible from the directory, leave
this field blank.
Note This field displays at the top of all Mailbox Editor screens.
Security codePassword (up to 16 digits long) that permits the user access to this mailbox. The
security code insures that only appropriate users can change a greeting, record a
custom busy message, listen to messages left for this mailbox, or change option
settings.
The initial value is the number of the new mailbox plus the value in the
sys_security_code_suffix (default 997) parameter.
For example, if a mailbox 234 is created, the default security code for the new
mailbox is 234997.
If the sys_security_code_suffix parameter is changed, only the mailboxes created
after rebooting the system have the new default security code. If the security code is
set to something that can not be entered from a telephone (such as an X), no one
can log into the mailbox.
The user can change the password to assure confidentiality. For added security, the
code does not display on the screen. You cannot view the security code; you can
only change it.
Class of serviceIndicates whether the mailbox is inherited from a COS parent and the COS parent’s
name. Field is 20 characters long.
To enter a COS in this field:
CAUTION!Setting this value to -1 (unlimited length) should be done with
extreme caution. If the Stratagy ES port does not properly detect
the abandonment of a call, it could remain off hook and recording
until there is no recording space left on the hard drive.
Number of days before a message is set for purging/deletion. Whenever a user
accesses his/her User ID and presses 1 to Play Messages, the system tells the
user how many messages will be automatically deleted when he/she exits the Main
Menu. This field is three-digits long.
CAUTION!Once a message is deleted by purging, there is no way to retrieve
it.
