Administrator Options

1= System Greetings

The programmed Day or Night greeting for each port, this is the first announcement played to outside callers when they reach the system. Callers will either dial the system’s access number directly or they might be forwarded when the dialed extension is busy or unanswered. You have the option to record up to nine programmable greetings to provide callers with certain information and instructions upon their entering the system.

You can customize the system sign-on greetings to meet your organization’s needs. When you record a customized greeting, remind subscribers to dial [#] to identify themselves to the system as subscribers. This is important for new subscribers who can get confused and end up leaving unintended messages for others rather than entering their own mailboxes.

Outside callers who have never encountered a voice message system should be given clear instructions on what to do when they reach the system. Since mailbox numbers are generally the same as the extension numbers, a caller can leave a message by just dialing a [*] before the extension number of their intended party. By customizing the system greeting, explicit directions can be given to the outside caller.
