14.5Voice Mail Programming
After connecting an voice mail system to the DXP Plus system, program the DXP Plus to operate properly with it
using the procedures detailed below.They are presented here in a typical order of progression but you can
perform them in any order that is convenient.
14.5.1Arranging Station Ports For Voice Mail UseDescription:
After you or your installer has connected voice mail ports to the system station ports through the
appropriate interface devices (for example, the VMI-X interface device used with analog station
ports, the 
ATI-D-IPI’ interface device used with the digital station ports, or the DXIST station
board used with industry-standard telephone ports), you must identify the station ports where
these devices are connected.Programming:
1. Press CONTROL T for main menu.
2. From the main menu, select stations and press ENTER.
3. From station menu, select phone types and press ENTER.
4. Type row number for station port type
(ExecuTech = analog, DigiTech = digital, IST = industry standard)
and press ENTER.
5. Type row number for device connected to station port (VMI-X or 
ATI-D-WI)
and press ENTER. (This step not required for IST.)
6. Type number of station port 
(1480) and press ENTER.
7. Repeat steps l-6 for each station port used to interface with the voice mail system.

14.5.2Assigning Infercorn Numbers To Voice Mail Connections
Description:You must identify the station intercom number of each voice mail connection and link these
numbers together to form a circular hunt group for call handling purposes. For example, assign
intercom numbers 121, 122, 123, and 124 to voice mail ports 
1,2,3, and 4 then link 121 to 122,
122 to 123,123 to 124, and 124 to 121.
Proqamminp Hint: To make the LCD readouts at the system telephones more descriptive
during call transfers, use the Section 
72.2 programming procedure to assign a descriptive name
to the personal intercom numbers.If you do this, be sure to name each voice mail port
differently. For instance, you can name them 
VW, VM2, VM3, and VM4; however, do not
name each port VM without personalizing it further with a unique suffix (such as 
1,2,3,4 or A,
B, 
C, D for example).
Programming:1. Press CONTROL T for main menu.
2. From main menu, select stations and press ENTER.
3. From stations menu, select voice mail and press ENTER.4. From voice mail menu, type the row number for the voice mail port (l-32)

14.5.3Arranging Voice Mail Ca// Transfer ParametersAutomatic Attendant Transfer On Busy
Description:
With automatic attendant transfer on busy enabled, the system will ring a busy telephone when
the voice mail system is attempting to transfer a call to that station. This action gives the user of
the called station the option of interrupting his or her present call and taking the new call.
With automatic attendant transfer on busy disabled, the presence of a new call will not cause
the system to ring the busy telephone. In this case, voice mail automatically routes the call to
the busy telephone’s voice mail box. You must enable the feature known 
as Ring Back On Busy
(see Section 7.2.36 for details) if you enable this Automatic Attendant Transfer On Busy
feature.Programming:

NOTE: Type XI04 plus a two-digit code (G32) that equals one of the voice mail ports.
Usually, you will enter the code for the first voice mail port and let the extension numberlinking (that you have previously arranged) decide which voice mail port actually
handles the call. However if you have arranged voice mail ports into groups for
department answering, enter the voice mail port code for the group that also includes
the telephone that you are button mapping.
7. When finished, press ESCAPE twice.
14.5.5Arranging Voice Mail Ringing OptionsDescription:
Programming.=
The DXP Plus system automatically enables ringing line preference at the voice mail station
ports. With this feature enabled, the voice mail system’s automatic attendant will answer calls.
You can use direct, delayed, or night ringing features to determine how quickly or when it doesthis. With direct ringing, calls ring at the voice mail port immediately. With delayed ringing,
the calls wait before ringing the voice mail port. This gives you the flexibility of having calls
direct ring at a telephone where they can be answered by a human operator before they delay
ring and the automated attendant answers them.

14.5.6Assigning Voice Mail Identification (ID) Number
Description:As an option, you can assign an identification number to each DXP Plus line so that the voice
mail system can provide customized call handling on a per line basis. Use voice mail system
programming to match this ID number to a particular personal directory or transaction boxwithin the voice mail system.
When the DXP PZus routes a call that is ringing at a particular
line to the voice mail system to be answered, it routes it with the ID number. The voice mail
system then sends the call to the box that corresponds to the line’s ID number. You can use
voice mail system programming to construct customized answering prompts for the individual
boxes. This allows the 
IDed DXP Plus lines to be answered in a customized manner by the
voice mail system’s automatic attendant.
Programming:1. Press CONTROL T for main menu.
2. From main menu, select line and press ENTER.
3. Type port number of line to be programmed (l-240) and press ENTER.

14.5.7Enabling Extended DTMF Tones For Voice Mail Use
Description:The system provides a means by which you can set the length of the DTMF tones that it
generates when a user dials a number from his or her telephone. Since the voice mail system
may require a different DTMF tone length than that which you have provided for the
telephones, the system provides a means for you to set a separate DTMF tone length for voice
mail station ports. It defaults the length to 80 msec, but you can program other lengths as
needed.
Programming:1. Press CONTROL T for main menu.
2. From main menu, select system and press ENTER.
3. From system menu, select timing and press ENTER.

14.5.8Setting The Voice Mail Integration DigitsDescription:
You can choose the DTMF digits that the DXP Plus sends to a voice mail system. A voice mail
system uses these DTMF digits to determine system and station status so that it can properly
process a call. You must be versed in your voice mail’s requirements before you can assign
DTMF integration digits in the DXP 
Plus. The system defaults the voice mail parameters to
match the Comdial voice mail system. Certain applications in countries with dialing plans
different than the United States may require different integration digits. The default digits are
shown in the following list and discussed below:
Follow Extension ID = 2Intercom/Answer Confirmation = 1
Busy = 2Do Not Disturb = 
3
Incoming Intercom Answer = 9Disconnect = A
Follow Extension ID - When the voice mail system receives a forwarded call from a ring
no-answer (RNA) or busy station, the DXP 
Plus sends to the voice mail system the extension
number of the forwarded call followed by this DTMF digit (n). The DXP 
Plus sends this digit
within 500 ms of the time the voice mail system answers the call. For example, if extension 101
is forwarded to voice mail and voice mail answers a forward RNA 
or busy forwarded call, the
DXF’ Plus sends 1Oln to the voice mail system within 500 ms of the answer time.
Intercom/Answer Confirmation - The DXP Pkus sends this DTMF digit to the voice mail
system to confirm that an intercom path (without dial tone) is available for the voice mail
system’s call transfer or dialing use. The DXP 
Plus sends this digit within 500 ms of the time it
detects the voice mail system’s off-hook or hookflash condition. The DXP 
Plus ah
immediately sends this digit to the voice mail system when a station answers a voice mail
transferred call. This action can alert the voice mail system to disconnect and leave the parties
connected.
Busy - If the voice mail system transfers a call to a station that is busy on a call, the DXP Plus
sends this DTh4F digit to the voice system. When the voice mail system receives this digit, it
can abandon the transfer, reconnect to the call, and offer the caller whatever options the the
voice 
mai system has available in its programming. If the DXP Plus auto attendant transfer on
busy feature is active, the DXP 
Plus will not send the DTh4F digit to the voice mail system thus
allowing the system to transfer a second call to the station.
DND - If the voice mail system transfers a call to a station that is in the do not disturb (DND)
mode, the DXP 
Plus sends this DTh4F digit to the voice system. Receiving this digit allows the
voice mail system to distinguish between a busy and a DND condition and offer the caller the
appropriate choices.
Incoming Intercom Answer - The DXP Plus sends this DTMF digit to the voice mail system
when a station user makes an intercom call to the voice mail system. This action allows the
voice mail system to distinguish between internal and external calls and offer the caller
appropriate prompts and dialing options.
Disconnect - When an outside line or intercom party hangs up, the DXP Plus sends this DTMF
digit to the voice mail system to command an immediate disconnect. For outside calls, the
central office (CO) must provide disconnect supervision to the DXP 
Pkus and you must program
the DXP 
Plus line for abandon hold release and disconnect supervision (see Section 8. I for
details). At default, the DXP 
Plus sends the DTMF tone for the A character as the disconnect
digit. Since a caller cannot dial an A from a telephone. This feature eliminates callers from
causing an accidental disconnect by dialing this digit on their telephone’s dial pad.14-26

14.6Modem SetupDescription:
The system supports the operation of the DXMDM serial data modem. The DXMDM is a
general-purpose, Hayes*-compatible, 300, 1200, and 2400 automatic baud detect, serial data
modem that receives its operating power and configuration programming from the DXP 
PLUS
system. The CPU board provides a dedicated serial data port for DXMDM modem use. Install
and connect the DXMDM per the details described in 
IMI89 185, Installation Instructions For
The DXMDM Modem. If you connect the modem to a serial data port that you add to the system
by installing a communications card, you will need to program the system for modem operation
on this port.
The DXMDM modem depends upon the system for both its power and its configuration, and
you must set switch SW7, located on the CPU board, to its ON setting to ensure continuous
modem operation. This setting ensures that the modem will reset properly if you cycle AC
power to the system. You should leave this switch set to its ON position for continuous modem
operation.
If you disconnect the modem power cord from the 
precharge port, you must reset the modem
after you reconnect the power cord. Reset the modem by switching SW7 to OFF and then to
ON.(Alternately, you can use the system manager programming from the programming station
to reset the modem. To do this, enter the system manager programming mode, and dial 
a$#.)
Normally, you do not program the initialize string because it defaults with the necessary values
for DXMDM operation; however, you may adjust the rings-before-answer value if necessary.
To do this, set the SO= value to the desired number (1 
= one ring, 2 = two rings, and so forth).
The initialize string characteristics are the following standard Hayes*-compatible values:
ATattention modem command
so=1number of received rings before modem answers (one)
MOspeaker completely off
Qlresult codes not sent
EOecho off
Regardless of which port you choose for modem connection, the system arranges for that port to
automatically match the baud rate and serial data parameters of the modem.Programming:
To arrange for a serial data port other than the dedicated port to accept modem operation,
perform this programming procedure.
1.Press CONTROL T for main menu
2.From main menu, select peripherals and press ENTER.
3.From peripherals menu, select modem setup and press ENTER.
4.From modem setup menu, type item number for port and press ENTER.
5.Type number for modem port and press ENTER to accept setting.
6.When finished, press ESCAPE twice.

15.1Understanding The Board Configuration Feature
Because there are no dedicated station or line ports in the DXP plus, the system uses an automatic configuration
method to logically number its stations and lines. Automatic configuration occurs after you perform a master clear
on the system.
How automatic
configuration
works
How logical
number and
physical
location relate
to one another
Where you can
place circuit
boards
Adding boards
without
renumberingWith automatic configuration, the system does a search for all installed station and line boards
in the main and expansion cabinets, and assigns a logical number for each provided station and
line encountered during the search. The search begins in the main cabinet at the left-most
universal slot and proceeds left to right. The search then moves to the upper expansion cabinet
where it searches left-most slot to right-most slot. The search finally moves to the lower
expansion cabinet where it again searches left-most slot to right-most slot. When automaticconfiguration is finished, the system has logically numbered all station and line ports in
ascending order from the left-most slot to right-most slot throughout the entire system.
The logical number of a station or line corresponds to its relationship to other stations or lines in
the system but is not dependent upon the board’s placement in the cabinet. The physical
location of a station or line corresponds to the order of the system’s board slots. The main
cabinet contains slots l-9, the upper expansion cabinet contains slots 10-20, and the lower
expansion cabinet contains slots 21-30. Therefore, even if the first encountered station board islocated in slot five of the main cabinet, the system still assigns logical number one to the first
station provided by that board. During installation, you can skip slots. For example, you can
install eight-line, loop start, line boards in only slots one and 30 if you wish. In this case, slot
one yields logical line numbers 1-8 and slot 30 yields logical line numbers 9-17.
Each installed board requires timing circuits equal to its capacity. For example, a 
16-station
board requires 16 timing circuits, an eight-line loop start line board requires eight circuits, and a
fully configured 
Tl trunk board requires 24 timing circuits. In the DXP plus, each universal slot
provides 32 timing circuits. Because of this timing circuit provision of each slot, you can place
any station or line board at any slot location with no restrictions.
If you install or relocate a station or line board, this board does not operate until you take
appropriate programming action described in Sections 
15.3, 15.4, or 15.5. If you use an
available open slot for adding or relocating a board, that board’s stations or lines assume logical
numbers in sequence after the system’s last assigned logical station or line number. For
example, if the system’s last logical station number is 24, the logical numbers of the newly
installed board’s stations begin at logical number 25.
After you remove a board and delete it through programming, that boards’s logical numbers are
available for reassignment. This means that you can remove a board, add or move another
board, take the appropriate programming action, and have the stations or lines of the added or
relocated board assume the logical numbers made available by the removed board. For example,
if the system’s last logical number is 64 and you remove the board providing stations with
logical numbers 1-16, the stations provided by an added board assume logical numbers
beginning with 1 instead of 65. However, if you remove an eight-station board and add a
16-station board, the first eight stations stations on the added board assume logical numbers II-8
and the last eight stations assume logical numbers 65-72.
Remember, should you master clear the system, the automatic configuration feature logically
numbers all station and line ports in ascending order from the left-most slot to right-most 
slot
throughout the entire system. This action renumbers those station and lines provided by boards
that you have added or relocated since you last performed the system master clear.
