Mailing List
The Mailing  List feature allows DEFINITY AUDIX sub sc rib ers to c reate lists of 
names or extensions to send  voic e mail to instead  of ad d ressing eac h rec ip ient 
individ ually. This is c onvenient for send ing  voic e mail to g roup s who regularly 
rec eive mail, suc h as memb ers of a d ep artment or projec t. Lists c an b e 
c omp osed  of ind ivid ual sub sc rib er names, extensions, and other lists. The 
c reator of a list also c an d esig nate it as p ub lic  or p rivate, and  p ub lic  lists are 
availab le for use b y other subsc rib ers. Even if a list is p ublic , only the owner of 
the list c an mod ify it. 
No sp ec ific  DEFINITY AUDIX system administration is req uired  to use this 
feature. However, you limit the maximum numb er of lists eac h sub sc rib er is 
allowed  and  the total numb er of entries in all lists for a sub sc rib er on the 
ap p rop riate Class of Servic e
 sc reen for a g roup  of sub sc rib ers or on the 
Su b s c r ib e r
 sc reen. 
Message Delivery
The Messag e Delivery feature p ermits sub sc rib ers to send  DEFINITY AUDIX 
Voic e Mail messag es to any touc h-tone telep hone, anywhere in the world  
(inc lud ing  someone’s home). This feature is an extension of the AMIS Analog 
Networking  feature. Messag e Delivery is an optional DEFINITY AUDIX feature 
that is not inc lud ed  in the b asic  DEFINITY AUDIX system; you must p urc hase the 
AMIS Analog  Networking  feature to use Messag e Delivery. 
When d elivering a messag e, the DEFINITY AUDIX system outc alls to the 
specified recipient and plays a prompt five times before disconnecting. If the 
Multiling ual feature is enab led , this p romp t will b e in the System announc ement 
set. You may want to rerec ord  this p romp t in all lang uag es used  on your system. 
Refer to the announc ement c ustomization g uid e for eac h lang uag e. 
After a sub scrib er has ad d ressed  a messag e d elivery messag e, the DEFINITY 
AUDIX system d ials the rec ip ient’s telep hone numb er. A rec ord ing  informs the 
rec ip ient that he/she has a messag e and  should  p ress   to listen to the 
messag e. The DEFINITY AUDIX system then p lays the messag e. You c an c hoose 
to ad minister any telep hone numb ers to whic h message d elivery traffic  is heavy. 
For c omp lete instruc tions and  information on Messag e Delivery, refer to

Multiple Personal Greetings
The Multip le Personal Greeting s feature allows sub sc rib ers to rec ord  and  store 
up  to nine p ersonal g reeting s and  to ac tivate as many as three of them at onc e 
for d ifferent c all typ es (internal/external, b usy/no-answer, out-of-hours). For 
examp le, one g reeting  c an b e ac tivated  for internal c alls, a sec ond  for external 
c alls, and  a third  for out-of-hours c alls. Alternatively, one g reeting  c an b e 
ac tivated  for c alls when the sub sc rib er’s p hone is b usy, a sec ond  for when there 
is no answer, and  a third  for after-hours c alls. The Multip le Personal Greeting s 
feature is not availab le to sub sc rib ers that use the Multiling ual feature and  have 
the Call Answer Language Choice
 field  set to “ y”  on the Sub sc rib er or 
Class of Servic e sc reen. 
Internal/external and  b usy/no answer c all typ es are mutually exc lusive; the 
sub sc rib er c an sp ec ify separate g reeting s for internal and external c alls 
or for 
b usy and  no answer c alls, b ut not for b oth c all typ es or a c omb ination of b oth c all 
types. Note that out-of-hours c alls are answered  with the out-of-hours g reeting  
reg ard less of whether the c all is internal/external or b usy/no-answer. Even if 
sub sc rib ers c hoose not to p rovide sep arate greeting s for d ifferent c all typ es, the 
multiple p ersonal greeting s feature is useful for setting  up  a lib rary of d ifferent 
p ersonal g reeting s to ac tivate for d ifferent oc c asions, suc h as during  lunc h or 
while on vac ation. 
Sinc e automated  attend ants and  b ulletin b oard s are tec hnic ally DEFINITY AUDIX 
sub sc rib ers who are ad ministered  via a Sub sc rib er sc reen, this feature also c an 
b e used  to p rovid e menu p romp ts for automated  attendants and announc ements 
for b ulletin b oard s that vary d ep end ing  on whether the c aller is an internal or 
external c aller and  if the c all is p lac ed  d uring  normal b usiness hours or not. 
This feature, whic h is initially on by d efault, is ac tivated  or d eac tivated  for the 
entire system on the System-Parameters Features
 sc reen. All other administration 
for multiple personal greetings is performed by individual subscribers using their 
touc h-tone telep hones and  the DEFINITY AUDIX voic e menu p rompts: 
nWhen multip le personal g reeting s are not ac tivated , sub sc rib ers c an 
rec ord  a sing le p ersonal g reeting  and ac tivate it instead  of the DEFINITY 
AUDIX system g reeting . 
nWhen multip le personal g reeting s are ac tivated , sub sc rib ers c an rec ord  
up  to nine p ersonal g reeting s (id entified  as g reeting s 1 through 9) and  
ac tivate any one of them at any time instead  of the DEFINITY AUDIX 
system g reeting  (id entified  as g reeting  0). Sub sc rib ers also c an sp ec ify 
whic h c all typ es (if any) to id entify, and  they c an ac tivate d ifferent 
g reeting s (inc lud ing the DEFINITY AUDIX system greeting ) for eac h 
id entified  c all typ e. (You may need  to inc rease mailb ox sizes for ind ivid ual 
sub sc rib ers who use all nine g reetings or who rec ord  leng thy p ersonal 
g reeting s.)

Name Record by Subscriber
The Name Rec ord  By Sub sc riber feature allows sub sc rib ers to rec ord  their 
names in their own voic es for use as a name frag ment b y the DEFINITY AUDIX 
system in p lac e of the name that you would  normally rec ord  yourself. When you 
enab le this feature, sub sc rib ers who are new DEFINITY AUDIX users will b e 
d irec ted  b y the DEFINITY AUDIX system to rec ord their name when they log in for 
the first time. Ac tivating  this feature will sig nific antly d ec rease your workload . 
Alternatively, you or any other sub sc riber with announc ement c ontrol on the 
Su b s c r ib e r
 sc reen, still can record  names for sub scrib ers when the name record 
b y sub sc rib er feature is ac tive. In this c ase, subsc rib ers are not p romp ted  to 
rec ord  their names when they first log  in, sinc e there is alread y a name rec ord ed ; 
b ut, they still c an c hang e the rec ording  to b e in their own voic es at any time. This 
is c onvenient for allowing ind ivid ual sub sc rib ers to either use the system-voic ed  
name or their own voic es, dep end ing  on p ersonal p referenc e. 
Sub sc rib ers will be ab le to c hang e their name rec ord ing  at any time when the 
feature is ac tive b y p ressing   at the DEFINITY AUDIX ac tivity menu and  then 
following  the voic e p romp ts from the DEFINITY AUDIX subsc rib er ad ministration

The rec ord ed  name is voic ed  b y the DEFINITY AUDIX system when the

head er, system g reeting, messag e verific ation, name ad d ressing  c onfirmation,

Outcalling
The Outc alling  feature allows the DEFINITY AUDIX system to c all a sub sc rib er on 
the p hone or a p ag er for message notific ation instead  of, or in ad d ition to, 
notific ation b y a MWI or stutter d ial tone. This is useful for rec eiving  DEFINITY 
AUDIX messag es at a home p hone or at a p hone in another b usiness-related  
loc ation, or to prog ram the DEFINITY AUDIX system to outc all to a p ag ing  
servic e and  enter a c allb ac k numb er. 
This feature is not rec ommend ed for use as an emerg enc y p ag er sinc e the 
DEFINITY AUDIX system d oes not treat outc alling as its hig hest p riority d uring  
b usy p eriod s and  may not b e fast enoug h for emerg enc y ap p lic ations. If the 
Multiling ual feature is ac tive on your system, the DEFINITY AUDIX system uses 
the Log in Announc ement Set of the sub sc rib er when it outc alls. 
This feature, whic h is initially off b y d efault, is ac tivated  or d eac tivated  on the 
System-Parameters Outc alling
 sc reen. Permission to use outc alling  then c an b e 
assig ned  on a p er-sub sc rib er b asis or b y c lass-of-servic e. You c ontrol the hours 
d uring whic h outc alling  is p ermitted  (up  to three p eriod s eac h d ay), the 
maximum numb er of ports that c an b e used  simultaneously for outc alling , and  
the maximum numb er of d ig its (up  to 60) that sub sc ribers c an sp ec ify for the 
outc alled  numb er. Sub sc rib ers ad minister outc alling  numb ers and  p ermissib le 
hours (the same as or a sub set of the system’s p ermissib le hours) using  the 
DEFINITY AUDIX voic e menu. 
To administer outcalling: 
1. Ac tivate outc alling  and  set up  system outc alling  restric tions using  the 
System-Parameters Outc alling
 sc reen. 
2. Choose one of the following : 
nIf p ermission to use outc alling  is b y c lass-of-servic e, ac tivate 
outc alling  on the ap p rop riate Class of Servic e sc reen. 
nIf permission to use outcalling is on a per-subsc riber basis, activate 
outc alling  on the Sub sc rib er
 sc reen for eac h ind ivid ual subsc rib er 
who will have that p ermission. 
3. Restart the system using  the Reset System Reb oot
 sc reen to ac tivate 
c hang es mad e on the System-Parameters Outc alling
 sc reen. 
Outc alling  uses any available p orts, up  to the maximum spec ified  on the

Ad ministrators should  c onsid er using  this as a method of d iminishing  the risk of 
toll fraud  oc c urrenc es. (Refer to Chap ter 10, ‘‘Ong oing  System Sec urity’’, for 
more information ab out minimizing  toll fraud .) The maximum numb er of d ig its is 
60. The 60-d igit maximum allows a DEFINITY AUDIX sub sc rib er to p rogram the 
DEFINITY AUDIX system to outc all to a p ag ing  servic e, enter a mailb ox id , and  
enter a c allb ac k numb er. Limiting  the numb er of d ig its may ad versely affec t 
sub sc rib ers who want to have their p ag ers alerted  throug h outc alling . A 
sub sc rib er c an emb ed  a “ #”  anywhere in the outc alling  d ig it string  sinc e #s are 
common delimiters for radio paging services.
The Luc ent I
NTUITY Messag e Manager (IMM) aud io interfac e uses Outc alling  
p orts to c omp lete a c all to a sub sc rib er’s telep hone. If you are using  the IMM 
feature with your DEFINITY AUDIX system, you may need  to inc rease the numb er 
of Outc alling  p orts.
See also ‘‘Priority Outc alling ’’ in this c hap ter for information ab out using  
outc alling  for p riority messag es only. 
Priority Messages
The Priority Messag e feature allows sp ec ified  sub sc rib ers to send  voic e mail
