    of the numb er of b loc ks of storag e the announc ement set oc c up ies on the

    Assig n the tdd  announc ement set to users either on the Class of Servic e sc reen 
    or on the Sub sc rib er sc reen. The td d announc ement set c an b e the Log in 
    Announc ement Set, the Call Answer Primary Announc ement Set, or the Call 
    Answer Sec ond ary Announc ement Set. 
    There are several c onsid erations when dec id ing  how to ad minister the 
    Multiling ual feature and c all c overag e for the hearing -imp aired  TTY user. For 
    examp le: 
    nDo you exp ec t the hearing -imp aired  p erson to rec eive voic e c alls? 
    nDoes the p erson have suffic ient hearing  ab ility to listen to voic e 
    messag es? 
    nIs your c omp any able to p rovide c all c overag e to a TTY translator servic e 
    for hearing-imp aired  users who c annot listen to voic e messag es? 
    It may b e more p rac tic al to set the Multiling ual feature Call Answer Language

    and  another td d -b ased  lang uage whic h may b e availab le in the future). 
    In the example below, Mary Jones has no hearing and does not speak; and her

    Th e  Call Answer Language Choice
     field  is set to “ n”  (no) for Mary, and  she

    The system ad ministrator, or another sp eaking  p erson, rec ord s the first p art of 
    Mary’s p ersonal g reeting  whic h is very short. If the td d  announc ement set is the 
    Log in Announc ement Set for Mary Jones, the g reeting  p romp ts are in TTY; in 
    whic h c ase, the sp eaker removes the hand set from the TTY ac oustic  c oup ler 
    when the GA p romp t d isp lays on the TTY, voic es the g reeting , and  then returns 
    the hand set to the ac oustic  c oup ler either to rec ord  the TTY p art of the g reeting  
    or to await more promp ts. 
    The following c ould  b e the voic e part of a g reeting  rec orded  for Mary Jones:

    Pressing  zero would  send  the c aller to the extension of a hearing  p erson who c an 
    transc rib e voic e messag es to TTY messag es and send  them to the mailb ox of 
    Mary Jones. The transc rib er need s to b e ad ministered  as a c overing  extension 
    on the Sub sc rib er sc reen for this arrang ement. The sec ond  p art of Mary’s 
    p ersonal g reeting  is in TTY, p rob ab ly rec ord ed  b y Mary or the p erson who 
    rec ord ed  the voic e p art of the g reeting . The TTY p art of the g reeting  need s to b e 
    rec ord ed  d uring  the same rec ord ing  session as the voic e p art. (In other word s, 
    Mary’s g reeting  c ontains b oth voic e and  TTY. The voic e p art is first and  very 
    short so that it d oes not c ause a d elay in the TTY g reeting  seen b y the TTY c aller. 
    The TTY part immed iately follows the voic e p art.) 
    The ab ove examp le illustrates one p ossib le sc enario for ad ministering  the TTY 
    user. Consid er the TTY user’s need s, the req uirements of his or her job , and  c all 
    c overag e c ap abilities availab le at your c omp any. 
    TTY Automated Attendant
    You c an c reate TTY automated attend ants using  the td d  announc ement set. You 
    need  a TTY to ad minister the TTY automated  attend ant menus (availab le from 
    any Luc ent Prod uc t Rep resentative); a TTY with a b uffer is rec ommend ed  
    b ec ause you will want to ed it the menu b efore d ownload ing  it to the DEFINITY 
    AUDIX system. It also is rec ommend ed  that you have the tdd  announc ement set 
    running  when you ad minister the automated  attend ant menus. If the td d  
    announc ement set is not running when you rec ord an automated  attend ant 
    menu, you c an p ut your ear to the hand set resting in the ac oustic  c oup ler to hear 
    the sp oken DEFINITY AUDIX announc ements. If you are not familiar with using  a 
    TTY, refer to the user’s g uid e that c ame with the TTY. 
    Refer to the Automated  Attend ant feature earlier in this c hap ter for instruc tions on 
    setting  up  an automated  attendant. Instead  of rec ord ing  the attend ant menu 
    using the telep hone, you typ e the menu using  the TTY keyb oard . Also, refer to 
    Chapter 9, ‘‘Automated  Attend ant’’, for more d etailed  instruc tions on automated  
    attend ants. It is strong ly rec ommend ed , b ut not req uired , that you have sep arate 
    telep hone numb ers for TTY automated  attendants and  for voic ed  automated  
    attend ants. Otherwise, TTY users may see either nothing or unread ab le 
    c harac ters resulting  from voic e promp ts or g reeting s, and hearing  users may 
    enc ounter some TTY messag ing  noise.

    c harac ter, suc h as a numb er or fig ure. (For examp le, the b inary c od e 00001 is 
    b oth the letter E and  the numb er 3.) This sharing  of five-b it c od es is mad e 
    p ossib le by having  two mod es, a letters mod e and  a numbers/fig ures mod e.

    If a rec eiving  TTY is set to letters mod e (b y rec eiving  the five-bit c od e 11111), 
    then the TTY assumes all sub seq uent five-b it c harac ter c od es rec eived  are 
    letters. By c ontrast, if a rec eiving  TTY is set to numb ers/fig ures mod e (b y 
    rec eiving  the five-b it c od e 11011), then the TTY assumes all sub seq uent five-b it 
    character c odes received are numbers and figures. This is important; when a 
    TTY is not in the same mod e as the d evic e that is transmitting to it, the c harac ters 
    that d isp lay on the rec eiving  TTY will make no sense to the user. 
    All DEFINITY AUDIX td d  announc ements c ontain the ap p rop riate mod e reset 
    c od es to ensure that the rec eiving  TTY stays mod e-sync hronized  with the 
    DEFINITY AUDIX system d uring menu p layb ac k. It is, however, the system 
    ad ministrator’s resp onsib ility to ensure mod e sync hronization when rec ord ing  
    TTY m e n u s.  
    Some TTYs have b oth a letters key and  a numb ers/fig ures key for switc hing  to the 
    indic ated  mod e. If the first c harac ter in a menu is a letter, p ress the letters key 
    b efore you typ e anything  else; or, if the first c harac ter in a g reeting  is a numb er or 
    fig ure, p ress the numb ers/fig ures key b efore you type anything  else. 
    Most TTYs d o not have a letters key and a numb ers/fig ures key. If you d o not 
    have sep arate letters and  numb ers/fig ures keys, sync hronization of mod es is 
    less c onvenient b ut c an b e ac c omp lished  in the following  way: 
    nIf the first c harac ter you need  to typ e is a letter, enter a slash (/); then 
    p ress the sp ac e b ar a few times b efore you start typ ing. This c auses the 
    system to reset to letters mod e. 
    nIf the first c harac ter you need  to typ e is a numb er or fig ure, typ e x
    ; then 
    p ress the sp ac e b ar a few times b efore you start typ ing. This c auses the 
    system to reset to numb ers/fig ures mod e. 
    General g uid elines on g enerating  menus. TTY users need  to use b oth the TTY 
    keyb oard  and  the touc h-tone telep hone keyp ad . The instruc tions c ontained  in 
    automated  attend ant menus must make it c lear whic h d evic e to use. You mig ht 
    want to use 
    dial when the user need s to use the telep hone keyp ad  and  typ e 
    when the user need s to use the TTY keyb oard . 
    When using  a TTY to typ e direc tly to the DEFINITY AUDIX system, the DEFINITY 
    AUDIX system c ap tures and  p reserves any hesitations in typ ing s, missp elling s, 
    and  so on. For this reason, it is rec ommend ed  that system ad ministrators use a 
    TTY with a b uilt-in b uffer and  c omp letely ed it the menu b efore c alling  the 
    DEFINITY AUDIX system to d ownload  the b uffer. Refer to your TTY user’s guid e 
    for instruc tions on ed iting and  d ownload ing  the TTY b uffer.

    the transfer will fail and  the switc h will rec onnec t the c aller to the
