3.5 SIP Account Properties – Voicemail
These settings let you configure client-side voicemail features.
Your IP PBX may also provide the ability to configure voicemail (server-side handling). An incoming phone
call first goes through server-side handlers and then through the client-side handlers. Keep in mind that the
fields on this Voicemail tab are not written to the server; they are configuring a second, separate handler.
You must decide how you want phone calls to be handled: by the server only, by the Bria client only, or by both.
Instruct your users accordingly.
If you decide to allow both, you must make sure that your users understand how the server-side and client-side
voicemail configuration must be synchronized to work together. You must also check what the server-side
settings are and make sure you enter compatible information in Bria.
Table 4: SIP Account Properties – Voicemail
Field Description
Check for voicemail Set the checkbox in one of these ways:
• Check the box if Bria must subscribe to be notified when there is a voicemail for
you. In other words, to configure for “subscribe for message waiting”.
• Clear the checkbox if your voicemail server sends notifications without Bria
subscribing. In other words, to configure for “implicit subscription”.
• Clear the checkbox if you do not support voicemail.
Voicemail is controlled by your IP PBX, not by Bria.
Number to dial for checking voicemail This is the number that will be called when a user
clicks the Check for voicemail icon on the softphone,
in order to connect to voicemail and listen to
messages.
• Completing this field activates the vicarial icon on
the softphone.
• If you leave this field empty, then this icon will not
work; users will have to manually dial this number
in order to connect to voicemail.
Number for sending calls to voicemail This is the number that incoming calls will be forwarded to if they are unanswered after
the specified interval (below).
Send calls to voicemail if unanswered To send to voicemail after the specified number of seconds.
Your IP PBX may also provide a similar feature that is set up outside of Bria. If so,
make sure you do not enter competing information in Bria and in the IP PBX’s user
interface. For example, if you turn off this field, make sure the same feature at your
service provider is also turned off. Otherwise, all your calls will continue to be
forwarded.
