14.3.3Programming For DVA OperationTo program the interaction between DVA and DISA, there are several steps that you must take.
1.Program the day 1, day 2, and night ringing begin and end times using the programming procedure given in
Section 
6.9.18. When the system is in the night mode, the night menu message plays versus the day menu
message; likewise, the night routing message plays versus the day routing message. The system goes into the
night mode either manually by attendant action or automatically when the programmed times occur.
2.Program the DISA specific parameters using the Section 8.8.1 procedure.
3.Use the Section 8.8.2 procedure to assign DISA capability and a DISA voice option to a line.
4.Use procedures in this section to program the DVA parameters.
5.Use the Section 6. I. 10 procedure to default the parameters.
Programming Intercoms For DVA Messages
DescriptionFor each message type, you can assign up to ten intercom numbers and assign a single access
digit to each of these intercom numbers. You can assign feature codes as well as intercom
numbers. For example, if you have installed the Tracker Paging System option, you can
program the Tracker Pager access code 
(*8) to an appropriate message and assign a single-digit
dialing code to the access code. This allows DISA callers to track their called party by dialing
the appropriate single-digit when prompted by voice message. The caller then enters his or her
call-back number and the # symbol to complete the page.
Programming:1.Press CONTROL T for main menu.
2.From main menu, select peripherals and press ENTER.
3.From peripherals menu, select voice/DVA and press ENTER.

							Recording The DVA MessagesDescription:You or the system attendant must record the messages that the DVA plays to the callers. You do
this in one of two ways: either by delivering them from the telephone handset at the attendant
station or by playing the contents of a professionally-supplied tape recording into the DVA
memory. Each DVA stores up to four unique messages. The total message storage time is 
two
minutes and you can divide this time as necessary among the four messages or use the entire
two minutes for one message if needed. Because of the time constraints, it is a good practice to
script your messages ahead of time so that you can read them aloud in a clear and concise
manner as you store them in the DVA memory.
piiifq
It is important to keep in mind that the system shares the messages among all
installed DVAs. You do not control which DVA stores which message. For example, if
you make eight different recordings with two 
DVAs, the system distributes the
messages in both units. If someone later removes one unit from service, the on/y
messages that will play are those stored in the remaining DVA. To locate which DVA
stores which message, use 
Section 16.2.2 to obtain a DVA status report.
Programming:To record a DVA message,
1 DPress INTERCOM and dial % #o % 061 D
