101 CallPilot Reference Guide Chapter 14 Troubleshooting This chapter describes some problems that can occur when you use CallPilot. Some typical problems are listed and what to do if they occur. The Automated Attendant transfers some callers to the General Delivery Mailbox CallPilot requires a tone signal and a minimum voice level. If CallPilot does not receive a response, the caller is automatically transferred by the Automated Attendant to the CallPilot operator. If the operator is not available, the call transfers to the General Delivery Mailbox. Possibly the extension called does not have a mailbox assigned to it. Ask your System Administrator to verify that the mailbox is assigned to the extension. Feature 981 produces a LOG prompt on my phone display Possible causes of the Log prompt: The extension you are using does not have an operating mailbox. If the extension does not have a mailbox, CallPilot requests both a mailbox number and a password. The extension is a Guest mailbox, which normally does not have an assigned extension. Ask your System Administrator to verify that your extension is properly assigned to your mailbox. I cannot forward my phone to CallPilot If you try to forward your extension to CallPilot and the display shows Not in service you can be forwarding to the wrong extension number. Use ≤·°fi to verify you are calling the correct CallPilot extension number. My mailbox is not accepting messages Make sure your mailbox is initialized. A mailbox cannot receive messages until it is initiali zed by the owner. Refer to “Initializing your mailbox” on page 17. Make sure your mailbox is not full. Refer to “My mailbox is full” on page 102. If you are using an Alternate greeting, check if you have set up your mailbox to accept messages. Refer to “Choosing a Primary or Alternate mailbox greeting” on page 30. My name does not play in the Company Directory Check to ensure that your mailbox is initialized. If it is not initialized, your name does not play in the Company Directory and your mailbox cannot receive any messages. If you have recorded your Company Directory name, ask your System Administrator to ensure that the Company Directory is available.
102 Chapter 14 Troubleshooting P0919417 02.2I forgot my mailbox password A forgotten password cannot be recovered. Your old password must be reset to the default password of four zeroes (0000). After the System Administrator resets your password, you must open your mailbox and change the default password. My mailbox is locked Your mailbox is locked if you attempt to access your mailbox and you hear the recording: “This mailbox has been locked to prevent unauthorized access. Please contact your administrator for assistance.” Your mailbox is assigned a maximum number of incorrect password attempts. CallPilot records the number of incorrect attempts from the last time your mailbox was successfully accessed. If the number is exceeded you are locked out. You cannot open your mailbox until the System Administrator resets the password. CallPilot Timeout The Timeout feature allows five seconds for you to choose an option. If CallPilot does not detect a selection, it replays the option list. If an option is still not selected, CallPilot ends the session. CallPilot has minimum voice level detection. If CallPilot does not detect an audio signal, it requests the caller to speak louder and provides the option to re-record. If no voice level is detected after the prompt, CallPilot ends the session. Messages are cut off If people need to leave long messages in your mailbox (up to 10 minutes), you can ask the System Administrator to give you more message recording storage space. My mailbox is full You know that your mailbox is full if you attempt to listen to your messages and you hear the message, “Your mailbox is full. You must erase some messages before you can listen to new messages.” Your mailbox is equipped with the Never Full Mailbox feature, which lets a caller leave a message in your mailbox, even if the mailbox is “full”. The message is stored, but you cannot access it until you delete at least one saved message. If you find that you need more message time in your mailbox, ask your System Administrator to give you more storage space. The wrong prompt language appears on the display of my phone If the wrong language appears on the display of your phone, notify the System Administrator. Outbound Transfer does not work Ensure that you have recorded the correct instructions for callers in your personal greeting. In your greeting, tell callers to press ‡ if you use the Norstar Voice Mail interface, or · if you use the CallPilot interface, to reach you. Refer to “About Outbound Transfer” on page 66 for information.
Chapter 14 Troubleshooting 103 CallPilot Reference Guide Ensure that the destination number you enter is not restricted. For example, if you cannot call long distance numbers from your phone, you cannot set up Outbound Transfer to a long distance number. Check to see if Outbound Transfer is turned on. Refer to “Turning Outbound Transfer on or off” on page 69 for more information. Off-premise Message Notification does not work If Off-premise Message Notification does not work, ask the System Administrator to check the Off-premise Message Notification parameters. Also, ask the System Administrator to check whether you are allowed to have Off-premise Message Notification. Ensure that the destination phone number and time parameters are correct. Ensure that the destination numbers that you enter are not restricted. For example, if you cannot call long distance numbers from your phone, you cannot set up Off-premise Message Notification to a long distance number. Check to see if Off-premise Message Notification is turned on. Refer to “Turning Off-premise Message Notification on or off” on page 93 for more information.
