Introduction
Subscriber Name Administration
Subscriber name administration allows the Fax Mail service administrator
to record multiple subscriber names without having to log on as each
subscriber. This feature is especially useful since it is desirable to have a
recorded name for each subscriber to take advantage of the name
addressing feature. Individual subscribers still have the option of
recording their own names in their own voices.
Message Overflow to General Mailbox
This feature provides a system-wide option that sends new Fax Call
Answer messages to a general mailbox if a subscriber’s mailbox becomes
full. The System Manager can define the profile parameters of the
general mailbox so that overflow messages will or will not autoprint.
Telephone System Interface
There are several telephone systems that can support FAX Attendant. Each
system has its own particular features and requirements. This switch-specific
information for the MERLIN LEGEND
TM
Communications System is discussed in

document.
Signaling information from FAX Attendant to the telephone switch is provided
over analog voice channels. This includes switch-hook flashing to transfer calls
and in-band tone signaling to control message waiting lights.
FAX Attendant can operate in either switch integrated or non-switch integrated
mode. In both modes, information is transmitted over voice channels. The
MERLIN LEGEND
TM
Communications System operates with FAX Attendant in
the integrated mode.
Switch-Integrated Mode
In the switch-integrated mode, caller and called party identification information is
transferred from the switch. As a result, callers generally do not have to enter
extension numbers upon reaching the Fax Call Answer service. However, FAX
Attendant can be programmed to prompt callers to enter this information for
Group Fax numbers.
In the switch-integrated mode, subscribers are not required to enter extension
numbers when logging into FAX Attendant from their own extensions.
