Glossary
password protection
To insure that unauthorized people do not retrieve your voice mail, barge into
your conversations, etc., many of the advanced features of the NexPath Tele-
phony Server require that you enter a numerical password to identify yourself to
the system before the feature can be accessed.
physical lines
The actual telephone lines connected to the NexPath Telephony Server.
pickup groups
See ring groups below.
ring cadence
Extensions can be programmed to ring with any of six different ringing patterns,
or cadences. Extensions can also be programmed to ring differently depending
on whether the call is an inside call or a call from an outside line.
ring groups
Groups of physical telephone lines can be assigned to a ring group, also called a
pickup group. This function is normally used so that a ringing phone can be
picked up from another (non-ringing) phone using the pick up group sequence
, followed by a single digit ring group number.
An extension can also be assigned to a ring group, so that when the extension is
dialed, the group of phones will ring. The first extension picked up in the group
of ringing phones will get the call.
Note that ring groups are not the same as call distribution groups. See call distri-
bution group above for the definition of a call distribution group.
Short Name
This is the name that is recorded in a voice mai box, so that when a voice mail
message is copied to another mail box, this name recording is prepended to the
message to identify who it is from. Also, the short name is used to identify all
extensions that forward to the voice mail box where it is recorded, to identify the
extensions in the dial by name auto-attendant.
system administrator
This is the person in charge of administering the system, that is, adding or remov-
ing users, assigning users extension numbers and passwords, and changing other
system parameters as needed. Please refer to the NexPath Telephony Server Sys-
tem Administration Guide for more details on what the system administrator can
and cannot do.
