							4. Off-Site Message Alert
How Off-Site Message Alert Works
With off-site message alert, you can be notified at an
outside phone or at a pager each time a new message
arrives in your mailbox. You can setup this feature to call
you at either of two numbers. For example, if you’re a
realtor showing a house you could tell the CLASSIC MAIL
system to dial the phone number of the house first and,
if you don’t answer after a specified number of attempts,
the CLASSIC MAIL system will dial a car phone or a pager.
You can turn this feature on and off, set how frequently
you receive an alert, and set how many alert attempts you
want the CLASSIC MAIL system to make. Finally, you can
select off-site message alert for only messages that are
marked urgent.
Chapter 4: Off-Site Message Alert39 
						

							Off-site message alert works this way:

l
l
lSet up off-site message alert by entering the
phone or pager numbers at which you want
to be contacted. (You can list up to two
phone numbers to be called in succession or
up to two pager numbers or one of each.)
Turn on the feature when you leave your
office and indicate whether you want to be
alerted to all new messages or only those
marked urgent.
The CLASSIC MAIL system calls you “n”
times at the first number at regular intervals,
where “n” is the number of call attempts you
set. (You set the number of call attempts
between 1 and 9, and the interval between 5
and 999 minutes.)
Next, if you specify a second number, the
CLASSIC MAIL system calls you there the
specified number of attempts.

lIf the CLASSIC MAIL system reaches your
pager, it displays the number you’ve specified
to call to check your messages. If the CLASSIC
MAIL system reaches you at a phone number,
a recorded voice says there is a new message
for you and you press any key and open your
mailbox to listen to the message. After listen-
ing, you can proceed with regular message
disposition.
If another message arrives, the CLASSIC MAIL
system alerts you again.
If the CLASSIC MAIL system cannot reach you
at the specified numbers, it will leave a
message in your mailbox telling you of its
attempts. This message will be automatically
deleted once you listen to it.
Telling the CLASSIC MAIL system which phone or pager
to call can be as simple as entering a seven-digit number;
however, sometimes your off-site number will require an
additional prefix or an area code.
Chapter 4: Off-Site Message Alert47 
						

							In addition, some pagers may require a pause to allow
them to answer the page and display the number (or
mailbox) you should call, or an extra code such as the star
or the pound key. If a pause or a special code is required,
you embed them in the sequence of numbers by first
entering the star key. For example, if your pager requires
a pause, you would enter the pager number to call, then
the star followed by a number (1 to 9) to indicate how long
a pause (in seconds) is required, then your mailbox
number:
Pause 8 seconds
1 408 555 1212 *8 12
Mailbox Number
If your pager required a pound sign to be entered after the
number of the phone (or, in this case, the mailbox) from
which the page came, you would enter a star and pound
sign at the end:
1 408 555 1212 *812 *#
Pound Sign

							Once all the codes are entered, you press # twice to tell the
CLASSIC MAIL system that the operation is finished and
to accept the entry.
The CLASSIC MAIL system allows you to enter a total of
up to 32 digits and accepts the several keys as special codes
to cover various paging circumstances.
The special key codes are shown in Table 4A.
