AVP is a family of call processing products designed to increase the productivity of your telephone system. The plus AVP is comprised of independent software modules that per­form separate and distinct functions. These functions are Voice
Messaging, Auto Attendant, and Menu Routing. Voice Messaging
allows users to send and receive messages. Auto Attendant al-
lows callers to be directed to extensions without the need for a live operator. Menu Routing allows you to create custom mulatto level menus that allow callers to be routed based upon DTMF re-
sponses entered by the caller. All

tegration. This integration allows the phone system to send the ex­tension number and other information to the AVP in the form of
DTMF digits before the caller is connected to the AVP system.
This allows callers to go directly to the called person’s personal
greeting without the caller having to enter the mailbox number. For system users, this means by dialing the voice mail group code
they will be prompted to enter there password. The
Starplus
AVP is made up of several programming compo-
nents. Each component has a specific function. The first five com­ponents are located in the database administration program and are accessed through it. The last two are run time screens that are presented while the system is running. The programming
mode does not have to be entered to view these last two items.

100.2 MODULES The
are designed to perform specific functions. Modules are telephone automation applications that have been written in a high level de-
velopment language. The telephone automation applications. We refer to
platform because by itself it can do very little. It simply provides the foundation for running the Modules. The modules provided with each tendant, and Menu Routing modules.
Modules run as stand-alone applications or they can be combined to implement more sophisticated call processing routines. For ex-
ample, Auto Attendant can answer a call and transfer it to the
proper extension. If the called party is unavailable, the voice mes-
saging module (Voice Messaging) can record the caller’s mes-
sage.
Menu Routing allows modules to be run from voice menus. A
menu gives the caller a selection of choices to choose from. For
example, the caller might hear the following: “Thank you for calling, please . “Dial 1 for sales.“, “Dial 2 for customer support.“, “Dial 3 for prod-
uct information.“, “Dial 4 to find a dealer in your area.”

Menus can also be multi-leveled. To use the above example, if a customer dials 4 to find a dealer, he might hear the following:
“To locate a dealer, please“, “Dial 1 for retail dealers.“, “Dial 2 for wholesale dealers.”
The system takes action based upon the digits dialed and what that digit is programmed for.

in the system. There are typically three (3) slots in the enclosure that may be used for voice boards. This means that a maximum of twelve (12) ports can be obtained in the six slot enclosure. Three voice boards each with four ports give a maximum of twelve ports.

DISK STORAGE
The
Starplus
AVP is offered in three (3) or seven (7) hour storage
capacities. In addition, there is a 15 hour storage device available also. The size of your disk drive is determined by the type of appli­cation you are running. Applications involving voice messaging
and voice recording generally require the most disk storage space. The storage time in the
Starplus
AVP takes into considera-
tion the drive space needed by the system software and DOS.
Specific factors that effect the amount of required storage include:
l Number of users
l
Number of messages per day
l
Average length of messages
l
Retention period for each message
Starplus
AVP can format about 55 minutes of voice recording per
10 meg of available disk space.
A good rule of thumb for applications involving voice messaging is
to allow 1 hour of storage (about 10 meg) for each 25 users.

F. INSTALLATION
When choosing the location for the system consider such factors as convenience, security, and environment. It is probably best to
place the system in the same room or close to the area where the phone system is located. Provide a clean, relatively dust free space with adequate ventilation. The room should have a stable
temperature and comply
withthe
computer manufacturer’s specifi-
cations. The computer needs to be connected to a reliable source of
power. Fluctuations in line voltage and power surges can impede
operation as well as damage the PC or its components. There are several ways the

The greeting is a personal message that a caller hears when they dial your mailbox. The greeting usually tells the caller that you are not available, when you can be reached, and how to record a mes­sage. If you do not record a personal message, the system plays a default greeting.
When messages are retrieved, new messages are played back
before previously saved messages, and they are played in the or-

This allows users to record and send messages to other mailbox
users in the AVP system. The following features are available
when sending messages:
q Replay the message, allows you to listen to the message
you just recorded.
w
Cancel the message, allows you to terminate the send op-
eration.
n Re record the message, allows you to record the message
over again if you are not satisfied with the current one.
Messages may be sent to other mailboxes in the system or a list of mailboxes called a distribution list.
.
The mailbox State determines how the system handles a call when someone tries to leave a message. Usually, this means play-
ing the called party’s personal greeting and then prompting the caller to leave a message. However, several other feature selec-
tions allow the call to be handled differently. The mailbox user
may change this through their mailbox access. This allows each mailbox user to set up and maintain their own state preferences. Below are the selections available and a description of what they are used for:
w
Normal - Plays personal greeting and then takes the
caller’s message.
w
Off - disables the mailbox and caller hears, “This mailbox is
not available. Press 1 to try another mailbox or 0 for an op-
erator.”
w
Greeting only - plays the personal greeting only and then,
“Press 1 to try another extension or 0 for an operator.”
n Forward to an extension
-
transfers the call to an extension
instead of taking a message.
n Forward to a mailbox
-
transfers the call to another mailbox instead of this one. For example, in the evening a sales de­partment might want messages left in a generic mailbox
with common password access.

100 distribution lists in the system. The lists may be connected to-

the Lists setting in Class of Service must have been set to either
Personal or System. The lists are set up in programming portion of the system. The lists are set up as “pseudo” mailbox numbers.
For example, if the system mailbox numbers are 100-l 58, the dis­tribution list numbers may be 500599. This enables a user to en­ter a list number as they would a mailbox.
This feature allows the AVP to answer calls and transfer them to an extension based upon what digits the caller dialed. This re­lieves the telephone load on receptionists. The caller can always
reach a live operator by dialing a programmed digit (usually 0). In
addition the auto attendant module can provide a company direc-
tory so that callers may dial by name to be transferred to the de-
sired party. This module also supports call screening. This
requests that callers say their name, the system will then call you
and play the person’s name. At this point you can accept or reject the caller by dialing a digit.

AVP is so easy to use that you almost do not need this manual. However, by taking the time to read it, you will get the most out of the product.
Note that the system administrator may not have activated all the
features described in this manual and, therefore, some may not
be accessible. Check with your system administrator about which
features are available on your system.
A. SOME BASICS A menu is a group of features or selections. The features can be
accessed by pressing
O-9,*,or
#from the
dialpad
of any push but­ton telephone. Menus are connected in what we call a tree struc­ture, where general topics are broken into more specific areas.
For example, “press 1 to retrieve messages, press 2 to send a message, press 8 for personal options.” These selections are gen­eral topics that deal with a number of feature settings. If you select personal options you hear the following: “press 1 to edit greeting, press 2 to enter name...”

There is no Introduction, but there is a long Description. The func­tion of the Description is to provide a general overview of
Starplus
AVP. This recording lasts for about two minutes. The Instruction prompt tells the caller how to use the menu and, of course, it is played right after the Description. By recording the Description and the Instruction separately, it is possible to replay the instruc-
tions without subjecting the caller to the long presentation on
Star-
plus AVP. That’s exactly what is accomplished by press the * key.
The Say action on keys #I through #8 provides more detailed
product information. When Say is activated the associated voice
file is played followed by the instructions. It is interesting to note that we could have defined these keys as other Menus and then
used the Description prompt to play a message. However, since
the instructions for each of those menus would have been the
same as this one, we opted to use Say in order to streamline the menu design.

500.5 SYSTEM UPGRADES
A. PORT UPGRADES
This section describes the procedures involved in upgrading an
existing platform that can expand up to 12 ports and 15 hour storage ca­pacity. Upgrades are divided into three types, port, storage, or
both.
Port upgrades increase the line capacity of the
is achieved by adding additional voice boards and updating the software controller. The voice boards are offered in either two (2) or four (4) port versions.
Whenever you are increasing port capacity on a system that con­tains a two port board, you should remove the two port board and
install the four port board in its place. Then install any additional two or four port boards from there.
REPLACING THE VOICE BOARD
This board is the interface between the voice processing system and the telephone system. The conversion between voice and
digital information takes place on this board. Each board provides two modular jacks for the connection of four lines from the tele-
phone system. Each jack connects two lines. There is also a two
line version of the card. This contains only one modular jack. This
jack connects the two lines.
1. Remove the enclosure.

Make sure the new/additional board switch settings are configured
properly. Refer to the chart below and text Voice BOARD SET­TINGS for the correct setting information.

If the system does not boot up, remove the cover and verify all

Disconnect any line cords connected to the voice board. Remove the 6-32 screw in the back of the enclosure holding
the board in place.
Gently lift the card out of the system.
Install the new card, being certain it is perpendicular to the enclosure. Make certain the board is secured in its connector. Reinstall
the 6-32 screw to secure the back edge of the board into
place. Put the cover on the enclosure and power up the system to make sure it boots.

SElTlNGS
There are three jumpers and a DIP switch that need to be set on
the voice board. The jumpers are labeled JP7,
JPl
, and JP5.
Each is located near the bottom of the board just above the bus connector. The DIP switch, labeled SW1 , located above the bus connector, has four toggle switches.
l
Jumper JP7 is used to identify the terminating voice board in your
Starplus
AVP system. This jumper must only be in­stalled on one voice board in a multiple board system. It doesn’t matter on which board it is installed, as long as the other voice boards in the system (if any), do not have JP7 installed.
On a one board installation the jumper should be installed. On a multiple board installation we recommend that the first voice board have the jumper installed and all other boards should not have the jumper installed.

Jumper

is used to select the IRQ used by the voice board(s). This setting must be the same for all voice boards. The IRQ selected for the voice board(s) must not

Consecutive Addresses For All Voice Boards - In multiple board installations, it is best to set the addresses of the boards so that all boards are grouped in consecutive ad­dresses. there will be 200 bytes in between each board.
The first board is at
