Answer Supervision for Voice Mail
Description
This feature allows the DBS 576 to send an answer signal to third-party Voice Mail systems.
Without this feature a third-party Voice Mail cannot receive a signal indicating that a DBS
DBS 576 extension has answered. In other words, to determine that the extension has
answered, the Voice Mail system would have to wait until the extension stops receiving
ringback tone. As a result, waiting for the ringback to stop often delays connection times for
calls from Voice Mail to extensions. By sending an answer signal, this feature provides
quicker response time between the DBS 576 and the Voice Mail system.
Hardware Requirements
• AEC Port
Related Programming
• FF1-0 23: Voice Mail Answer Supervision ID Code
• FF3-0: SLT Voice Mail Connection
• FF1-101: DTMF ON/OFF Pattern 2
Considerations
• The digits used for the answer signal code are determined by the requirements of the Voice Mail
system.
• The answer code may be up to 4 characters and consist of the characters 0 - 9, *, #, and pause.
• If the called extension does not answer and is forwarded to Voice Mail, the DBS 576 sends a Call
Forward ID code back to the Voice Mail system.
• During transmission of the answer signal code, other DTMF digits and functions from the DBS
576 extension are ignored.
• The Voice Mail port must be assigned as a Voice Mail port connection.
• The DTMF pattern is set as pattern 2.
Call Forward ID Code for Voice Mail
Call Forward ID Code for Voice Mail allows you to call forward to a third-party Voice Mail system.
The ID Code sends the digits that are required by the Voice Mail to identify the System extension.
