End-User Limited Warranty

Toshiba America Information Systems, Inc., (“TAIS”) warrants that this telephone equipment manufactured by Toshiba (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, except as otherwise provided by TAIS in the TAIS warranty accompanying the products or posted on TAIS’s website. Products which are not manufactured by Toshiba but are purchased from Toshiba, will be subject to the warranty provisions provided by the equipment manufacturer, unless TAIS notifies the end-user of any additional warranty provisions in writing.

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.

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 of such defective or missing parts as are causing the malfunction by TAIS or its authorized dealer 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 applicable warranty 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.

No TAIS dealer and no person other than an officer of TAIS may extend or modify this warranty. No such modification or extension is effective unless it is in writing and signed by the Vice President and General Manager, Telecommunication Systems Division.

Overview

Your voice mail system manages multiple voice processing functions simultaneously 24-hours-a-day, 7-days-a-week. private voice messages. In addition, you can update your greeting at your convenience or send and receive messages from any tone-dialing 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 e xtension, or record a private, det ailed message.

A representative in your company has been assigned as the System Administrato r fo r the system. The System Administrator is responsible for configuring the system and your mailbox to suit your company’s 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 your voice mail, you hear the number of messages you have in your message queue(s), followed by a prompt from the Main Menu options (see

Figure 1). You can then:

Your mailbox is always available for callers to leave

• Listen to your messages

Features to Personalize Your Mailbox

Your voice mail processing system offers a variety of features to personalize your User ID Mailbox. The following are a few of those features:

• User ID Mailbox Security Code – Your User ID mailbox has a security code. The

code must be entered by you in order to “log into” your User ID mailbox, giving you access to your messages, settings, greetings, etc. (see

Code” on page 19

• Name Recording – Y our name is announced whe never you log onto your mailbox,

the directory is accessed, the system greeting is selected, or when a message is sent by another voice mail user. When you first enter your mailbox, you need to record your name (see

“Record Your Name” on page 17).

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

played when you are unavailable (see

• Guest Users

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

page 63

– You can create Guest User IDs that can be used by clients, friends,

“Change Your Greeting” on page 46).

“Change Your Security

“Manage Guest User IDs” on

Message Queues

Your messages reside in one of two queues—new or saved. Messages play in FIFO (First In, First Out) or LIFO (Last In, First Out) order. Ask your System Administrator to find out how your mailbox is configured.

New Message Queue

Messages in the New Message Queue are New or Pending messages. New messages consist of messages that are unheard or partially heard (less than five

seconds). They remain in the queue, the Message Waiting LED remains on , and a Return Receipt is not sent, if applicable, until the message is completely heard.

Messages that you have partially heard (five seconds or longer ) ar e calle d Pendin g messages. They remain in the New Message Queue, the Message Waiting LED is turned off, and a Return Receipt is sent, if applicable.

4 Strata CIX Voice Processing User Guide 08/07

The Grand Tour

Message Queues

Note The Pending messages feature is available on a mailbox-to-mailbox basis.

Check with your System Administrator to find out if your mailbox is configured for this feature.

When you press 1 from the Main Menu to play messages, your voice mail system automatically accesses the New Message Queue. A new message begins to play based on the type (urgent messages play first) and order received (FIFO/LIFO). If no new messages exist, your voice mail system automatically accesses the Saved Message Queue. If you are in the Saved Message Queue, you ca n toggle ba ck to the New Message Queue by pressing 77.

After you play the last message in the queue, your voice mail system prompt s, “End of messages.” You can choose to return to the top of the queue, go to the top of the other queue, etc.

Saved Message Queue

Saved messages are messages that you saved or that were automatically saved by your voice mail system at the end of the message.

Access the Saved Message Queue from the Main Menu by pre ssing 177 or from the New Message Queue by pressing 77. Y our voice mail system automatically accesses the Saved Message Queue when no new messages exist. Saved messages play based on order received (FIFO/LIFO).

After you play the last message in the queue, your voice mail prompts, “End of messages.” You can choose to return to the top of the queue, go to the top of the other queue, etc.

Note Ask your System Administrator to find out if your mailbox is configured with one

or two (New and Saved) message queue(s).

Strata CIX Voice Processing User Guide 08/07 5

The Grand Tour

Message Types

New and Saved Messages can consist of the following special types of messages— forwarded and message reply.

Forwarded Message

Any message sent to you can be forwarded to a single destination or a personal or system distribution list. When forwarding a message, recording a message (co mment) is optional.

Reply Message

Messages to which you want to send an immediate answer can be sent as a reply message. When replying to a message, your voice mail system does not prompt you to select the destination since it “remembers” the source. The Reply feature only works if the original message is sent from another voice mail user on the same system.

When listening to a reply message, a prompt notifies the user of the name/User ID of the person who sent the reply.

6 Strata CIX Voice Processing User Guide 08/07

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 on page 51 for details.

Personal

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

“Change Your Greeting Selection” on page 49.

System

The system greeting is a standard prer ecorded greeting. It cannot be recorded over or deleted. The greeting states, “Please leave a message for (name).” Your voice mail system adds your name from the name recording that you have made (see

Your Name” on page 17

Busy

If your User ID 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. See

The custom busy greeting can also be turned on/off using the Select Your Busy Greeting option on the Change Your User Options Menu (see

Greeting” on page 56

Note The System Administrator must configure your User ID mailbox for the custom

busy greeting option to be available.

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 Queue. 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. Once a message is sent, the private status cannot be removed.

Return Receipt

Y o u can mark a messa ge Return Rece ipt if you want verification of it s receipt. Wh en a user plays (completely or partially) a message marked for Return Receipt, a notification is sent back to the sender. Your voice mail system notifies the sender when and by whom the message was received and plays the original message.

Future Delivery

Your voice mail system can be configured so that your message is delivered at a future time and date specified by you. After marking the message for future delivery, you can review (play, save, delete) the message at any time before it is sent.

8 Strata CIX Voice Processing User Guide 08/07

Message Destination Selections

At the beginning of the Send Messages menu, you are asked to enter the message destination(s).You can choose to enter a single destination (e.g., User ID) or multiple destinations (e.g., personal list, User ID, system list). Entering 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:

• User ID

Note If you don’t know the user’s User ID, you can locate the ID on your voice mail

system’s system-wide directory by pressing 00.

• Personal distribution list

• System distribution list

“Send a Message” on page 33 for instructions on using these options.

See

Personal Distribution Lists

You can originate up to seven 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 ea ch time you use the list to confirm that you have chosen the correct distribution list.

The Grand Tour

Message Destination Selections

Important!

Try not to duplicate users on your distribution lists. Your voice mail system does not check for duplicates when you send a message using more than one list. For example, if you select Personal Distribution List #1 and #3 as destinations for your message and User ID 1001 is on both lists, User ID 1001 receives the same message twice.

Strata CIX Voice Processing User Guide 08/07 9

The Grand Tour

User Options

System Distribution Lists

In addition to Personal Distribution Lists, your voice mail system supports systemwide 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.

Whenever you enter the list number, the “list comment” for the selected system list plays to confirm that you have chosen the right list.

User Prompts

Your voice mail system prompts only for menu options available to you. You do not hear prompts for options:

• Not supported by your voice mail system (e.g., future delivery)

• Not configured for your mailbox by the System Administrator (e.g., guest users, do

not disturb).

Check with your System Administrator to verify which user options are available to you.

User Tutorial

When you log on to the your voice mail system for the very first time, you hear a tutorial that walks you through the following basic steps:

• Record your name (if required). Your name is announced whenever you log onto

your mailbox (varies by system), the directory is accessed, the system greeting is selected, or when another voice mail user sends a me ss ag e 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, your voice mail system

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 tutorial is completed successfully, it cannot be replayed.
