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

The Grand Tour

Overview

Overview

Stratagy ES manages multiple voice processing functions simultaneously 24-hours-a- day, 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

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??? on page 22).

???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 Your Name??? on page 20).

???Personal Greetings ??? You can record up to seven personal greetings that are played when you are unavailable (see ???Change Greeting??? on page 54).

???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 ???Manage Guest Mailboxes??? 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 78).

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.

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?????????from the Main Menu to play messages, Stratagy ES automatically 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.

The Grand Tour

Message Folders

If no new messages exist, Stratagy ES automatically accesses the Saved Message Folder. If you are in the Saved Message Folder, you can toggle back to the New Message Folder by pressing?????????.

Saved Message Folder

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.

Access the Saved Message Folder from the Main Menu by pressing???????????????or from the New Message Folder by pressing?????????. Stratagy ES automatically accesses the Saved Message Folder when no new messages exist.

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??? on page 5.

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 78.

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.

The Grand Tour

Message Types

Access Folders

When you press ?????? from the New or Saved Message Folders or ????????? from the Main Menu, Stratagy ES checks your mailbox for personal folders. Depending upon whether it finds any, Stratagy ES performs the following procedures:

Message Types

The Stratagy ES has the following special types of messages???forwarded, reply, fax, and e-mail.

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.

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

The Grand Tour

Message Types

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.

The Grand Tour

Greetings

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??? on page 57.

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 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??? on page 63).

Note The System Administrator must configure your mailbox for the custom busy greeting option to be available.

The Grand Tour

Special Delivery Options

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.

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).

The Grand Tour

Message Destination Selections

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.

The Grand Tour

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.

Directory

Using your telephone???s dial pad, you can enter the digits corresponding to the first few letters of a user???s name or the first letters of a system distribution list name. Stratagy ES plays the recorded name and mailbox number that matches the combination of entered digits. You can then select the name or go on to the next name in the directory.

Each mailbox can be identified with up to two names. These names are entered into the automated directory by the System Administrator and enhance the directory???s search/ find capabilities. Common choices for the names are the first and last names of the user, last name of the user and a commonly misspelled version of the last name or in the case of a system distribution list, two words that might appear in the list title.

User Options

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 Options??? on page 59 for more detailed information.

Important! The System Administrator must activate these features for them to be available.

???DND ??? When a caller enters your extension number, the Stratagy ES automatically sends the call to your mailbox without first ringing your telephone.

???Call Screening ??? Stratagy ES asks callers for their name. Without the caller???s knowledge, the system relays that information to you. You can decide to receive the call, let the call forward to your mailbox, or transfer the call to another extension with or without an announcement.

???Busy Greeting ??? You can record your own custom busy greeting that plays when callers reach your extension, and it is busy.

???Message Notification ??? Your mailbox can have notification records programmed by the System Administrator with a specific notification method (message waiting lights, pagers, voice, etc.) and the time/day when that notification record applies.

Once you have turned on a specific notification record, Stratagy ES automatically calls you at the designated number and with the chosen method to notify you of your messages.

???Automatic Message Copy ??? You can set your mailbox to automatically copy all messages or just urgent messages to another mailbox during specified times of the day.

The Grand Tour

User Prompts

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.

Getting Started

Step 1: Access Your Mailbox

Step 1: Access Your Mailbox

The Main Menu (shown below) is your starting point for all of Stratagy ES???s messaging features. Pressing ????????? from most menus returns you to the Main Menu.

To access your mailbox, you need to know:

???Your mailbox number

???Your default security code

Please ask your System Administrator if you do not have this information.

MAINMENU

???Play Messages

???Send Messages

???Manage Mailbox

???Listen to E-mail Messages

???Messages Exit user mode

???Exit user mode

???Hang Up

Each time you access your mailbox, Stratagy ES announces:

???The number of new and saved messages you have in your message folder(s).

???The number of messages that will be purged upon exiting your mailbox, if applicable.

Stratagy ES then plays the Main Menu options.

Getting Started

Step 1: Access Your Mailbox

If you receive new messages while you are logged on to your mailbox, Stratagy ES informs you that new messages have arrived every time you return to the Main Menu.

1.From an internal telephone, call Stratagy ES on

Stratagy ES prompts you to enter your mailbox number.

Stratagy ES prompts you to enter your security code.

You are now in your mailbox. Stratagy ES plays the number of messages you have and then prompts you with a list of choices from the Main Menu.

Note If the Stratagy ES is fully integrated with the telephone system, Stratagy ES is informed of your mailbox number and prompts you for your security code. Consult your System Administrator for information on how your system is integrated.

Getting Started

Step 2: Record Your Name

Step 2: Record Your Name

Your name is announced whenever the directory is accessed, you select the system greeting, or a message is sent by you to another Stratagy ES user.

When you first enter your mailbox, the Stratagy ES tutorial prompts you to record your name and walks you through the entire recording sequence. You can re-record your name at any time (see ???Record Your Name??? on page 66).

1.At the tone, state your name slowly and clearly (if you like, you can also state your extension).

2.Press ??? when done.

3.After your name plays, press:

???To accept the recording

???Re-record

Stratagy ES plays your name recording.

Your recording becomes part of your mailbox and Stratagy ES prompts you to record your personal greeting.

Stratagy ES returns you to the record your name prompt.

Getting Started

Step 3: Record Your Personal Greeting

Step 3: Record Your Personal Greeting

The tutorial now prompts you to record your personal greeting. This greeting becomes your Personal Greeting #1. You can record up to six other greetings (see ???Create or Record Over a Personal Greeting??? on page 55 for instructions).

Personal greetings should be informative and advise callers when you will be available to return their calls or respond to their messages. You can update personal greetings as often as you want.

Sample Greeting

???Hi. This is Mary Smith of the Toshiba Marketing Department. It is Monday, June 19, and I am in the office today. I am either on the telephone or have stepped away for a few minutes and your call has been forwarded to my voice mailbox. If at the tone you leave a detailed message and a telephone number where I can reach you, I will be happy to return your call.???

1.At the tone, begin recording your greeting.

???To accept the recording

???Re-record

The following information should be included:

???Your name

???Company and/or department

???Date

???Your availability

???Instructions to leave a detailed message

Stratagy ES plays your greeting.

Your greeting becomes Personal Greeting #1 and Stratagy ES prompts you to change your security code.

Stratagy ES returns you to the record your greeting prompt.

Getting Started

Step 4: Change Your Security Code

Step 4: Change Your Security Code

You should change your security code on a regular basis to ensure the privacy of your messages and personal greetings (see ???Change Security Code??? on page 62).

Stratagy ES prompts you to enter your new security code and notifies you of the number of allowable digits. For example, Stratagy ES might prompt ???the new security code must have at least three digits and 16 maximum digits??? or ???the new security code must be exactly four digits.???

1.Enter your new security code + ???.

2.Re-enter your new security code + ???.

Stratagy ES prompts you to re-enter your new security code for verification.

After entering the security code a second time, Stratagy ES announces that your security code has been changed.

You have completed the tutorial. Stratagy ES announces ???mailbox number xxx is enabled,??? and announces the number of messages in your mailbox. You can now perform any of the functions available on the Stratagy ES Main Menu or exit the mailbox.

Step 5: Exit Your Mailbox or User Mode

??To exit your mailbox, press ??? to hang up

...or to exit the user mode, press ???.

Stratagy prompts, ???Thank you for calling. Good-bye.???

Stratagy ES can be configured so that you can exit your mailbox without leaving the Stratagy ES system. Please ask your System Administrator to find out if your system is configured for this or some other function when pressing??????.

If you have the ???0 to EXIT User Mode??? capability, you hear Stratagy ES???s instructional greeting. You can now access another user or a different mailbox.

This chapter explains how to use the Play Messages feature. It covers:

???Accessing messages

???Playback controls

???Playing messages

???Special functions

???Retrieve and listen to e-mail messages

Stratagy ES lights the message waiting light on your telephone when a voice or fax message has been left for you on the Stratagy ES system.

This appendix covers the use of Stratagy ES voice mail with the Strata CIX/CTX. Call Forward, Message Waiting, CTX Proprietary Integration, Direct Transfer to Voice Mail and Voice Mail Conference features are all described.

Note Check with your System Administrator about your company???s phone system and telephones.

Call Forward

Note See Strata CIX and CTX IPT/DKT Telephone User Guide for additional information on programming and using this feature on your phone.

There are two types of Call Forwarding: System and Station.

???System Call Forward (which is set in Programming) automatically directs calls to a predefined location, such as Voice Mail.

???Station Call Forward enables you to assign Call Forward destinations for each extension on your phone. Each extension can be independently set for a different Call Forward feature. You can set a flexible button to perform any Call Forward function.

Call Forward must be set prior to receiving the call.

Note Station Call Forward takes priority over System Call Forward.

Table 1 on page 82 contains the Call Forward Button sequences for performing Call Forward. There are two ways to perform each Call Forward function. One, enter the button sequence as described, or two, program a flexible button to perform the sequence.

Using Stratagy ES with a Strata CIX/CTX

Call Forward

??To use the Call Forward button sequence

??Follow the instructions in Table 1 below shown under ???Button Sequence.??? Some features require additional input, such as:

???Destination ??? If the destination is an outside number, press ??????after entering the destination. The CIX/CTX accepts destination numbers of up to 32 digits.

???Timer ??? This is a two digit entry representing how long (8 to 160 seconds) your telephone should ring before forwarding the call. If you enter one digit, you must press ??????after entering the single digit.

Also, in the following table, (Tone) means that a confirmation tone plays at that point in the sequence.

Message Waiting

Message Waiting

Use your 0VJ???LED/button and LCD to see/retrieve message(s).

An extension can receive up to four simultaneous Message Waiting indications and LCD messages. One message is reserved for the Message Center.

Your phone can be programmed to have up to four additional (flexible) Message Waiting buttons/LEDs. Ask if these buttons have been programmed on your phone. If so, substitute them when the 0VJ button/LED is mentioned in the following steps.

Responding to a Lit Msg LED

1.On an LCD phone, if you see a ???+??? press 6FUROO to display additional messages; otherwise, go to Step 2. The ???+??? indicates additional messages. The LCD can show up to three station messages for your extension and three for each additional (phantom) extension that you may have.

CTX Proprietary Integration

If your company???s Toshiba Strata CIX/CTX phone system has the Proprietary Integration with your Stratagy ES enabled, you have two additional features at your disposal???Soft Key Control of Voice Mail and Call Record to Voice Mail. If you cannot access these features, check with your System Administrator.

Soft Key Control of Voice Mail

If you have a Strata 3000 or 2000-series digital phone equipped with a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD), many standard functions of the Stratagy ES voice mail system can be displayed on the digital telephone LCD and operated by Soft Keys. Feature prompting makes voice mail functions easy to use via visual displays on the telephone in place of listening to voice prompts over the handset, although the Stratagy ES voice prompts still play when soft keys are used.

Note For general information on using Soft Keys on your phone, please see the

Strata CIX and CTX IPT/DKT Telephone User Guide.

Call Record to Stratagy ES

While on an active call, a station user can record the conversation and store it in a Stratagy ES voice mailbox. Recordings can also be paused or restarted. Depending upon your System Administrator, you are given either a manual method of recording that allows you to designate the mailbox where the recording will be sent or an auto method that automatically sends the recording to a predefined mailbox that is assigned to the phone you are using. This may be your personal mailbox.

Note Ask your System Administrator which method you need to use when recording a call.

This feature requires the presence of a 5HFRUG and a 36???5(6 (Pause/Resume) button on your telephone. Feature codes are not available.

Important! Stratagy ES mailboxes have a definable limit on the length one message can be. If you plan on doing lengthy recordings using this feature, see your System Administrator so your message recording time can be properly defined.

Direct Transfer to Voice Mailbox

Direct Transfer to Voice Mailbox

An internal user on the Strata CIX/CTX can transfer a call directly to another person???s voice mailbox without waiting for the call to forward from the called party???s telephone. The voice mailbox does not even need to be associated with an active telephone in the Strata CIX/CTX.

Direct Transfer to Voice Mail simplifies getting a call for a busy or absent employee to his/her mailbox. It eliminates the need for the caller to enter the desired mailbox number after being connected to the voice mail system.

??To transfer a call directly to Voice Mail (VM)

1.While on a call, press &QI???7UQ. You hear feature dial tone.

2.Press 'LUHFW???7UDQVIHU???WR???90 or enter ????????????. You hear entry tone.

Automatic Speech Recognition C

Note Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) is an optional feature in the

Stratagy ES. Check with your System Administrator to find out if your system is configured for this feature.

Stratagy ES???s ASR feature enables you to speak into the phone and accomplish the following tasks:

???Reach a destination by saying the user???s name

???Log into your mailbox by saying a login command

???Send a message by saying ???send message??? or ???quick message???

A typical company instructional greeting when you reach your company???s main phone number would be, ???Thank you for calling ABC Corporation. Please say the full name of the person you wish to reach or enter the extension number. You can also say ???send message??? to send a message or ???login??? to login to your mailbox.???

This appendix covers the general procedures for each of these tasks.

Automatic Speech Recognition

Reach Destination

Reach Destination

After listening to your company???s instructional greeting and saying the user???s name, Stratagy ES follows this procedure:

???Stratagy ES identifies the name and transfers your call to the user???s mailbox.

???If Stratagy ES is not sure about the spoken name, it prompts you with the name match it has made and requests that you confirm the choice by saying ???yes??? or ???no.??? If you say ???yes,??? Stratagy ES transfers your call to the user???s mailbox.

...or if Stratagy ES cannot make a match for the spoken name (first or last name) or you say ???no??? when prompted to confirm the spoken name, it prompts you to repeat the name. If Stratagy ES recognizes the name when you repeat it, it transfers your call to the user???s mailbox.

???If Stratagy ES still cannot identify the spoken name, it prompts you to spell the first and last name. If Stratagy ES recognizes the name, it transfers your call to the user???s mailbox.

...or if Stratagy ES cannot make a match, it transfers your call to the company operator.

Note At any time during these steps, you can say ???operator help??? and reach the company operator.

Access Your Mailbox

After listening to your company???s instructional greeting and speaking one of the login commands (i.e., mailbox login, mailbox logon, user login, user logon, access mailbox, log me in), Stratagy ES follows this procedure:

???Stratagy ES prompts you for your name. If Stratagy ES recognizes the name, it then prompts you for your password.

...or if Stratagy ES does not recognize the name, it follows the same steps as in ???Reach Destination??? procedure except it does not transfer you to an operator as a final solution. Instead, Stratagy ES requests that you hang up and try again.

???You enter your password using the telephone dial pad. Stratagy ES gives you access to your mailbox.

Automatic Speech Recognition

Send a Message

Send a Message

After listening to your company???s instructional greeting and saying either ???send message??? or ???quick message,??? Stratagy ES follows this procedure:
