Using Amanda5 After any recording: Sample Greetings This section contains sample greetings for a variety of occasions. It is important that each greeting be as informative as possible. See “Recording Greetings” on page 3 for a standard example of each type of recording: the Name and Extension recording, the Ring No Answer greeting, and Custom Busy greeting. After-hours Greeting Many Amanda administrators set up each mailbox so that greeting 1 plays for routine working hours and greeting 2 plays for after-hours calls. Here is an example: “You have reached the office of Chris Wang at Homestead, Inc. after hours. No one at Homestead can answer your call right now. Leave a detailed message at the tone, or call during office hours: 10 A.M. to 6 P.M., Monday through Friday.”To D i a l Review the recording Rerecord Add to the end of the recording Cancel the recording Save the recording
6 Using [email protected]/DOS Telephone Features Away-from-the-office Greetings “Chris Wang of Homestead, Inc. will be out of town until Monday, May 5th. While I am gone, my associate, Matthew Lee, is handling all my business calls. Please call Matthew at Extension 557. I will be unable to check my messages until I return.” “Chris Wang of Homestead, Inc. will be off-site until Monday, May 5 th. While I am gone, my associate, Matthew Lee, is handling my business calls. Please call Matthew at Extension 557 or leave me a message. I will be checking my messages daily.” Your Amanda administrator can copy your messages to both you and a coworker while you are on vacation or only to that coworker. (The administrator can stop the message copying when you return.) If someone else is getting your messages, you might want to use the following greeting: “Chris Wang of Homestead, Inc. will be out of town until Monday, May 5 th. My associate, Matthew Lee, is handling all my business calls. Call Matthew at Extension 557 or leave him a detailed message at the tone.” Managing Recorded Greetings Use the greetings menu to listen to the current greeting, use a different greeting or rerecord a greeting. (See “Recording Greetings” on page 3 for information about recording greetings.) To listen to the current greeting: + +
Using Amanda7 To change which greeting is heard: Changing Your Security Code Your initial security code is usually your mailbox number or 997. It is a good idea to change it immediately and often. To change your security code: + + + new code + + new code (to confirm) Controlling Calls This section explains how you can screen calls, turn do not disturb on and off, and control what your callers hear when your line is busy or when you cannot answer your telephone. Screening Calls By screening calls, you can accept or reject specific calls based on who is calling. If you share an extension or answer calls for more than one mailbox, you may want to screen calls based on what mailbox is being called. Ask your administrator for more information. To turn call screening on or off: + + the greeting’s number (1-7) + + + (Optional) (to listen to the greeting) (for the system greeting) +
8 Using [email protected]/DOS Telephone Features When You Are Unavailable On hectic days or when you are out of the office, you can use Amanda’s Do Not Disturb to keep your extension from ringing. Callers hear your greeting immediately and can leave you a message. Your coworkers are also not disturbed by your ringing extension. To turn Do Not Disturb on or off: + + Reviewing Options You can review the current settings for options such as Do Not Disturb and call screening. To review option settings: + + Scheduling Changes Amanda can be configured to automatically change your extension, do-not- disturb setting, call screening setting, and your greeting at particular dates and times. See your administrator for details. Managing Messages You can listen to messages, then forward them, reply to them, or delete them.
Using Amanda9 Listening to Messages You will use Amanda primarily to listen to and send messages. Usually, Amanda plays messages in the order that they were received (oldest to newest). She makes an exception for urgent messages, playing them in newest to oldest order and prior to any other messages. Normally, messages are saved until you delete them, so delete old messages from your mailbox as soon as possible. Your Amanda system may have been configured differently. For example, it may play new messages first or purge old messages after a number of days. Check with your administrator. To play messages you have received: Options: More options: Next messageReplay messageDelete messageRestore the message you just deleted + Previous messageForward messageReply to messagePlay date/time of current message + Pause 30 sec./ResumeIncrease volumePrevious menuNext new message (or next message) + Rewind a bitDecrease volumeFast forward a bitContinuous delete + Continuous playMark current message as new/unheard + +
10 Using [email protected]/DOS Telephone Features Forwarding Messages You can forward messages left for you to any other Amanda user. For example, you might need to reroute a message to the coworker who should have received it in the first place. Adding a prefix to the forwarded message lets the other user know that you received the message first and allows you to provide instructions regarding the message. You can bypass this step and still set a future delivery date and time. To forward the message you just listened to: Select mailbox or list of mailboxes Add Prefix (Recommended) + mailbox + + + + + record prefix + + hang up or add options + + (see options below) + list number + A personal list is: through . A system list is: through . Send without verification Send with verification (With verification, you are no- tified when the recipient hears the message.)
Using Amanda11 OptionsDial Make the message urgent. Make the message private. (Private messages cannot be forwarded.) Specify a delivery date and time + any combination of the following: NOTE: Any item (day, mon., yr., hr., or min.) not specified takes its value from the current date and time. If you use 13 through 23 for hours after noon, you are not asked whether you meant A.M. or P.M. + the month + + + the day of the month + + + the year (use 2 or 4 digits) + + (for A.M.) + + the hour + + (for P.M.) + + the minutes + +
12 Using [email protected]/DOS Telephone Features NOTES:After forwarding a message you have received or sending a message you have created to one mailbox or list, you can repeat the procedure for another mailbox or list. A config- uration option (set by your Amanda administrator) allows messages to be sent to more than one mailbox or list. When addressing a message as a user, your can press (or whatever the extension is for your employee directory) to find another user’s extension. Depending on the options set on your system, you might be prompted: “To select this extension, press *. Otherwise, press # to continue.” When there are no more matching di- rectory entries, the prompt is: “To search the directory again, press *. Otherwise, press #.” For example, if you create a message Friday afternoon that no one should listen to until Monday morning (June 2nd), set June 2nd at 9:00 A.M. as the delivery date and time: + + (the month) + + + (the day of the month) + + + (the hour) + + (for A.M.) + (the minutes) + + (to finish) If you set a date and time in the past, the message is sent immediately.
Using Amanda13 Replying to Messages You can reply to any messages you received from other Amanda users. To reply to the message that you just listened to: Deleting Messages You can delete messages. If you make a mistake, you can restore a deleted message—but only if you have not changed menus or hung up. To delete the message that you just listened to: + Be careful because pressing additional ’s deletes additional messages. For example, pressing deletes this message and the next. To restore the most recently deleted message: + repeat to restore additional messages + + + record your reply + + hang up or add options + + (use options listed for forwarding messages) Send without verification Send with verification (With verification, you are notified when the recipient hears the message.)
