Introduction
System Capabilities
The MiniVoice is a compact, high-performance, voice processing system. This
feature-rich system will give even the smallest businesses the image of a
much larger company. Productivity will increase because messages can be
recorded, replied to, or forwarded to the appropriate person when necessary.
Since nearly half of all telephone transactions require only one-way
communications, the voice mail function streamlines business
communication.
When a message is recorded, the voice mail system converts human speech
to digital data and stores it in flash-memory.
When the message is retrieved, the voice mail system converts the digital
data back to human speech.
When a user is unavailable and has forwarded their calls: the voice mail
system answers the telephone, takes messages, and stores the messages for
retrieval at a later time, from any location.
Basic Features
This single-company basic voice mail system provides the ability to:
Send copies of messages.
Send messages to multiple destinations.
Delete, reply, save, or skip a message.
Receive message information indicating the date, time, and sender
information, if available.
Change recorded name, personal greeting, and password.
Playback controls when sending or reviewing messages.
Record a temporary greeting.
Page 8
1-4Basic Features
4-Port System -- More than one person can use the voice mail system
features. Each port allows one user to access to the voice mail system. A port
is a path to the voice mail system. For example, up to four (4) users can be
recording or reviewing messages at the same time with a 4-port voice mail
system. Since not all users would be accessing the voice mail system at the
same time, many users can be supported.
Ease-of-Use -- The MiniVoice uses single digit commands, so there are no
complex commands to memorize. The system constantly prompts users for
the next action to be taken. Experienced users can interrupt prompts or even
skip ahead several steps, if they know the digit for the desired action.
Mailbox Functions -- By using a Touch-Tone telephone, you can receive or
send messages from any location through your voice mailbox. If you are busy
in your office or away on a business trip, customers, vendors, or other
employees can leave you detailed messages in your voice mailbox. Protected
by your password, these messages are completely confidential.

System Greetings
The programmed Day or Night greeting for each port, as programmed in the
Number Plan screen, is the first announcement played to outside callers
when they reach the system. Callers will either dial the system’s access
number directly or they might be forwarded when the dialed extension is
busy or unanswered.
You have the option to record up to nine programmable greetings to provide
callers with certain information and instructions upon their entering the
system.
You can customize the system sign-on greetings to meet your organization’s
needs. When you record a customized greeting, remind subscribers to dial [#]
to identify themselves to the system as subscribers. This is important for new
subscribers who can get confused and end up leaving unintended messages
for others rather than entering their own mailboxes.
Outside callers who have never encountered a voice message system should
be given clear instructions on what to do when they reach the system. Since
mailbox numbers are generally the same as the extension numbers, a caller
can leave a message by just dialing a [
their intended party. By customizing the system greeting, explicit directions
can be given to the outside caller.

Setting Operating Mode
Under normal conditions, the pre-programmed Auto Attendant screen
controls the greeting that plays when MiniVoice answers a caller. This screen
tells MiniVoice which greeting to play based upon the time of day, Day or
Night, which is programmed in the Open & Close screen.
There may be a time when it is desirable to change the system from Day
(Mode 1) to Night (Mode 2) at an other-than-normal time. The System
Administrator can accomplish this by dialing into the system, rather than
having to access the programming terminal.
When the mode is changed manually to either Mode 1 or Mode 2, MiniVoice
stays in that mode until the System Administrator changes the mode back to
Automatic mode through the Administration Options menu. The mode
cannot be changed from the programming terminal.
The following are the System Operating Mode Numbers and their meanings.
Mode 1 - Fixed Day Mode: the system is in Day Mode all of the time.
Mode 2 - Fixed Night Mode: the system is in Night Mode all of the time.
Mode 3 - Automatic Mode: the system follows the Open & Close times as
programmed.

Open and Close Schedule
This time control screen is used to set the time when the MiniVoice switches
from Day to Night mode or Night to Day mode. Separate greetings are
available for each mode. The greetings introduce callers to your company
and tell them what digits to press to access certain departments, extensions,
mailboxes, etc.
The Day/Opening greeting plays from the time you specify in the Open field
until the time specified in the Close field. The Night/Close greeting plays after
the time specified in the Close field until the next specified time in the Open
field. For example, in Figure 1-5 the Day greeting is played during weekdays
from 9:00 a.m. through 5:00 p.m. The Night greeting is played from 5:00 p.m.
through 9:00 a.m. Monday through Friday, and from 5:00 p.m. Friday through
9:00 a.m. Monday

System Numbering Plan
This menu screen is used to control how the MiniVoice system processes
digits entered by a caller.
Figure 1-6: Number Plan Screen
Page 39
Menu Option Screens1-35
FieldDescription
FIRST DIGIT
This field tells the system whether a given digit is allowed to process additional digits.
PERMISSION
For example:
If your extension numbers start with 1, this field will contain a Y and other fields to its
right will be blank. When a caller dials a 1, the system knows additional digits will
follow and be acted on (Figure 1-6).
If this field contains a Y, the system will check the following fields and perform the
actions designated in these fields:
EXTENSION -- dials the extension number specified and connects the caller.
GREETING -- plays the specified greeting to the caller.
CCR -- takes the caller to the specified one of five possible pre-programmed routing
menus and plays the greeting for that menu.
If the field contains an N, the system will tell the caller that they have dialed an
incorrect digit and they will be allowed to dial again.
EXTENSIONThis field may contain any valid extension number as the destination. For example, for
Sales press [2]. extension 101 is dialed, and the caller is connected to Sales (Figure 1-6).
GREETINGThis field contains the greeting number to be played when this digit is dialed. Active
greeting numbers are 01- 09 and they are recorded via telephone programming. An entry
in the Greeting field requires an associated entry in the CCR Number field, even if the CCR
Number is the same as the CCR Menu from which you are configuring
CCRCustom Call Routing (CCR). This field may contain a CCR menu number of 1-5 that links a to
an additional number plan when the caller presses the digit in the left column. Up to five
number plans can be used (Figure 1-8). CCR numbers can also be tiered, as described by
the second example below. To access CCR menus for configuration, press F1 to increment
ascending from CCR 1-5 or press F2 to increment descending from CCR 5-1.
For example:
A CCR Menu 1 entry of 2 in the CCR field could link to a number plan for Sales, 3 for
Tech Support, 4 for Services, and 5 for Repairs. Figure 1-9 graphically portrays this
example.
A CCR Menu 1 entry of 2 in the CCR field will link to CCR Menu 2 number plan (Sales).
Sales can be subdivided into In-State and Out-of-State sales making two entries (3 & 4)
in the CCR field of CCR Menu 2. Figure1-10 graphically portrays this example.
Dual-action keys have a 3-second pause prior to switching to another CCR. For example, you
are prompted to dial an extension (100 series) or press 1 for Sales. After pressing [1], the
system pauses until either additional digits are entered for an extension or 3 seconds elapse,
whichever occurs first.
Page 40
1-36Menu Option Screens
The example in Figure 1-7 shows that when the number 1 and additional
digits of an extension are dialed, the call will be transferred to that extension.
For example, if 108 is dialed, the call will transfer to extension 108. If the
numbers 2, 3, or 5 are dialed, the caller will go directly to the corresponding
extension or UCD/ACD group (101, 102, or 550). If number 4 is dialed,
greeting 1 will be played to the caller. If number 6 is dialed, the caller will be
linked to the CCR Menu 2 number plan. The system administrator has
designated numbers 7, 8, and 9 as invalid numbers in this example.

Digit position tells the system which ports are allowed to make outdials.
The first 4 positions correspond to ports 1 through 4 - from left to right. The last four
digit positions must contain zeroes.
Default = 00030000

TIME-OUT
Period of time that a port will wait after hanging up before attempting to use that port for
an outdial operation.
This prevents collisions when a new call appears at the port right after it has released a
previous caller.
If no new incoming call is detected before this timer expires, the outdial request will be
processed.
Dialing pattern used to tell the PBX an outside line is needed, such as during an outdial
operation.
Default = 9
. If your trunk access code is different, change this value as required.
Most PBX systems are either programmed or automatically send a disconnect code.
When the PBX port is about to close (EX: an outside caller has hung up) a digit string is
sent to the voice mail system.
If this string matches the entry in this field, the system saves any messages being
recorded and then the port closes and waits for the next call.
When receiving an incoming call:
This is the time that the system waits to see if DTMF integration strings are being sent
to the system.
If no digits are received during this period, the system will then play the main greeting
for that port and be ready to accept caller-dialed digits. (
Default value = 20, which
represents 2000 ms or 2 seconds)
When the system receives DTMF integration strings:
This is the period of time to wait after each digit to determine if more digits are coming.
As each digit is received, this timer is re-started.
Once this timer expires, the system assumes that all DTMF integration digits have been
received.
The received string is then analyzed to determine how the call must be processed.

PROTOCOL
This is the digit that allows a caller to bypass the recorded greetings and go directly to a

protocol is found.
All protocol entries are compared in sequence to the inbound DTMF digits until a
match is found.
If no match is found, the call is directed to the main greeting for that port.
The pattern is matched against the incoming DTMF string for all call processing. After the
correct pattern has been matched, then the corresponding action is taken
e.g.,
Protocol
pattern MMM represents 3 digits.

ORDER
Once a matching DTMF protocol is found, the Action column tells the system what to do
with that particular call. The allowable actions are:
Take a message into the requested mailbox.
Open the requested mailbox, ask caller for password.
Take no action when this DTMF protocol is received.
This is the order of integration information as the telephone system sends it to the voice
mail port.
Integration Examples
Example 1 -- System answers a call and receives a three-digit extension number:
104
…
The system receives an entry for MMM. The Action for this protocol is TakeMsg. Once the
match is made, the system opens mailbox 104, plays the mailbox greeting to the caller and
records the message.
Example 2 -- System answers a call and receives a code followed by a 3-digit extension
number:
[6] 104
…
The system receives an entry for [6]MMM. The Action for this protocol is TakeMsg. Once
the match is made, the system opens mailbox 104, plays the mailbox greeting to the caller
and records the message.
Example 3 -- System answers a call and receives a code followed by a 3-digit extension
number: [
#] 104
…
The system receives an entry for #MMM. The Action for this protocol is EnterMB. Once the
match is made, the system opens mailbox 104, plays the mailbox name to the caller and
asks for their password.

Operating System Features
This section explains how to operate the voice mail features.
How to Use the Voice Mail System
The system is programmed to respond when any of the 12 telephone
keys are pressed. If no key is pressed in response to a prompt, the system
assumes the caller is confused.
The system repeats the caller’s options. If there is still no response, the
system automatically transfers an external caller to an attendant, or
politely disconnects a user from the call.
The system counts the number of errors (incorrect key presses) that a
caller makes. If the count exceeds a certain number (usually 3) the caller is
politely disconnected. The system does this to allow as many callers on
the system as possible.
[*]Key
Use the [6] key to perform the following functions:
Cancel what you are doing.
Skip personal greetings and introductory prompts. (It gets you directly to
the recording tone.)
Return to the previous menu, while listening to a prompt.
Disconnect, when at the Main Menu.
[#] Key
Use the [#] key to perform the following functions:
Complete a step.
Send a message.
Skip a message.
Denote the end of a variable-length number, such as a password. (This
keeps the system from having to wait to determine if you are finished
entering digits.)

Review Your Messages
Messages in your mailbox come from either external callers, who leave
messages while in the telephone answering mode, or from other internal
users. Messages are presented to you in the following order: new messages,
skipped messages, and saved messages.
After the last new message has been presented to you, the system searches
the mailbox to see if there are any remaining new messages to be reviewed.
In particular, if new messages arrive during message review, they are
presented in the same order as before but are considered "skipped”.

Message Information
Details about a message are available: who sent it and the time and date it
was delivered. This information is called Message Information. To access
message information, press [8] after listening to the message to hear the
information that relates to that message.
The time and date stamp on a new message always relates to message

message can stay in the mailbox before it is automatically deleted.
Reviewing a message and re-saving it does not change the time and date
stamp or when the system automatically deletes the message.
Options While Reviewing
As you become more experienced, you may want to control the playback of
