 Call Screening Parameters (Page 15 of 26)
  The Call Screening parameters define the call screening release codes for the switch. These release
codes enable the messaging system to either pull the call back from the switch after a no answer, a busy,
or a reject, or to release the call to the switch on an accept for call screening.
  If the switch uses call screening release codes, they are automatically entered for you when the
Integrator utility is run for the switch. Do not modify the release codes unless instructed to do so by a
technical support representativ e. If the release codes are not defined, the messaging system uses an
ampersand.
  Call screening is av ailable only on messaging systems using superv ised transfers. Call screening must
be enabled on the Class of Serv ice and Subscriber Settings dialog boxes for subscribers to hav e access
to the feature.
  If you disable the Enable Automated Attendant parameter on the General tab in System Setup, call
screening is not av ailable on the messaging system and the Call Screening parameters are dimmed.
 
  Call Screening Parameters
 
Release Code
When Busy  This parameter defines the release code required to pull the call back from
the switch when a busy response is received at the subscriber’s extension for
a call screening attempt.
 After the messaging system retrieves the call, it informs the caller that the line
is busy and voices the available options.

 Call Waiting Parameters (Page 16 of 26)
  The Call W aiting parameters determine how the messaging system dispatches call waiting attempts. Call
waiting notifies the subscriber of another incoming call when the subscriber is on the line by sounding a
tone ov er the subscriber’s handset or intercom. Call waiting is a system-wide feature and cannot be
activ ated or deactiv ated for indiv idual mailboxes. W hen Enable Automated Attendant is disabled, the
Call W aiting parameters are dimmed.

 Outbound Dialing Parameters (Page 17 of 26)
  The Outbound Dialing parameters define the standards that allow the messaging system to perform
outcalls through the switch. Messaging system features that require outbound dialing are message
notification, OctelNet, AMIS, message indicators, and wake-up calls.
 
  Outbound Dialing Parameters
 
Code for
Accessing an
Outside Line  This parameter defines the code required by the switch to access an outside
line. This code is used by the messaging system to obtain an outside line for
outbound dialing operations (message notification, message indicators, and
wake-up calls) when the length of the destination phone number equals or
exceeds the Number of Digits in Local Telephone Number. The system also
uses this code for network messaging (OctelNet, AMIS) when no Network or
Node Prefix is defined, regardless of the length of the destination phone
number.
 
 When/How to Use This parameter is set when the Integrator utility is run for the switch.
 This code consists of the number you normally press to dial an outside line
on the phone system, usually followed by a comma to instruct the switch to
wait momentarily before dialing the number.
 For most phone systems, the default, 9, is used.
 The minimum and maximum for this parameter refer to the allowed length of
the entry, not an actual number.
 
 Related Parameters/Features If the Code for Accessing an Outside Line is not properly defined, the system
will not be able to execute outcalls.
 The Network Prefix or Node Prefix parameters override the Code for
Accessing an Outside Line for network (OctelNet, AMIS) outcalls.

  Outbound Dialing Parameters
 
Number of Digits
in Local
Telephone
Number  This parameter defines the number of digits in telephone numbers in the local
dialing area.
 When/How to Use In the United States and Canada, the default of 7 is normally used. In other
countries, however, the number of digits may be different.
 
 Related Parameters/Features Dial Plan is used only when the destination number exceeds the Number of
Digits in Local Telephone Number.
 The system only uses the Code for Accessing an Outside Line for numbers
that are equal to or greater than the length of Number of Digits in Local
Telephone Number.
 The Custom Message Delivery Code is used for Message Notification and
Fax delivery when the length of the destination number is less than the
Number of Digits in Local Telephone Number.

  Outbound Dialing Parameters
 
Maximum Rings
Before No
Answer (RINGS)  This parameter defines the number of rings the messaging system will listen
to before assuming a no answer. This parameter is used only for outdial
operations.
 
 When/How to Use The default should be adequate for most systems. If you find that the switch
is routinely pulling calls back, however, try lowering this parameter.
 
 Related Parameters/Features This parameter is used only if the system is supervising calls.
 The Maximum Rings field on the Class of Service dialog box, which controls
the number of rings that is considered a no answer for both outcalls and
internal transfers, can override this parameter on a class-of-service basis.
 Do not confuse this parameter with the Ring Count parameter on the Port
Parameters tab. Ring Count determines the number of rings each port must
hear before it answers an inbound call.
 
 If Set Too High If you set this parameter higher than the number of rings the switch regards
as a no answer, the call might go back to the switch.
 
 If Set Too Low If this parameter is set too how, call progress may fail.

  Outbound Dialing Parameters
 
Use DialPlan
Database  This parameter determines whether the Dial Plan utility is used to determine
the correct dialing sequence for the following outcall operations:
· OctelNet
·  Adm inistered AMIS
·  Network replies
·  Delivery of Fax Retrieval requests
 
 When/How to Use Dial Plan compares destination phone numbers to the Dial Plan database to
determine whether the numbers are local. If a match is found, the last seven
digits, but not the area code, are dialed. If the numbers do not match
identified local prefixes, the entire num ber is dialed.
 For network replies to long distance numbers within the country, Dial Plan
also determines whether the Long Distance Access Code is inserted in the
dialing string.
 If you enable this parameter, you must configure the Dial Plan utility.
 
 Related Parameters/Features Dial Plan is only used when the length of the destination number is equal to
or greater than the Number of Digits in Local Telephone Number.
 Make sure that you enter the Long Distance Access Code on the Networking
tab to ensure that network replies are dialed properly.

  Outbound Dialing Parameters
 
Time to Wait for
Possible
Incoming Call
(SCHDWAIT)  This parameter defines the amount of time, in 10 millisecond units, that the
messaging system waits for dial tone to be recognized before initiating a
scheduled outbound event on a port. SCHDW AIT starts as soon as the port
comes off hook. If the system detects dial tone within the SCHDW AIT limit, it
immediately initiates the outbound event.
 The system recognizes dial tone by detecting continuous energy for the length
of time specified by the DTONW AIT parameter on the Message Delivery tab.
DTONW AIT must be recognized within the SCHDW AIT time frame. If the
system does not recognize dial tone within SCHDW AIT, it assumes that there
is an incoming call and does not initiate the outbound event. In this case, the
system answers the call and places it at the main greeting.
 While this parameter does not prevent call collision, it does prevent the loss
of outbound events due to call collision. If call collision does occur, however,
the inband information for the incoming call may be lost.
 
 When/How to Use This parameter is set when the Integrator utility is run for the switch.
 If you find that outbound events are routinely not occurring as scheduled, try
increasing this parameter.
 If you set this parameter to 0, the system does not look for dial tone before
starting an outbound event. If a port is not a dedicated outbound port, call
collision can occur if an inbound call arrives at the port at the same time that 
						

							13. Setting Up the System
Implementation and Service Manual  System Setup Parameters List13-72
the system takes the port off hook for an outbound event. W hen this happens,
the outbound event may be lost.
 
 Related Parameters/Features If a port is dedicated to Outbound on the Port Parameters tab, the system
does not use SCHDW AIT for that port.
 The DTONW AIT parameter on the Message Delivery tab determines the
amount of continuous energy the system must detect to recognize it as dial
tone.
 
 If Set Too High If call collision occurs and SCHDW AIT is set high, an inbound caller may
experience a delay before hearing the main greeting, as the system will wait
the entire length of SCHDW AIT before determining there is an inbound call.
 
 If Set Too Low If you set this parameter lower than DTONW AIT, the system will not be able
to reach DTONW AIT within SCHDW AIT. Consequently, the system will not
initiate the outbound events.

Message Delivery Parameters (Page 18 of 26)
  The Message Deliv ery parameters determine how the messaging system dispatches message
notification attempts and deliv ers faxes to fax machines on internal extensions.
 
  Message Delivery Parameters
 
Custom Message
Delivery Code  This parameter specifies the series of digits the messaging system must dial
for message notification attempts and fax delivery to internal phone and fax
numbers, respectively.
 
 When/How to Use This parameter is set by Integrator, if required by the switch.
 The system inserts the Custom Message Delivery Code, when defined, in the
dialing string before the phone number for message notification or the fax
destination phone number.
 The minimum and maximum for this parameter refer to the allowed length of
the entry, not an actual number.
 
 Related Parameters/Features If the phone number for message notification is equal to or greater than the
Number of Digits in Local Phone Number, the Code for Accessing an Outside
Line is used instead of the Custom Message Delivery Code.
 If the destination fax phone number is equal to or greater than the Number of
Digits in Local Phone Number, the Fax Prefix Code is used instead of the
Custom Message Delivery Code.
