AT&T 3 Answering Machine User Manual


 
Bulletin Board
If the mail system has multiple Automated Attendants, and the Dial 0 Destination is an
Automated Attendant Main Menu, the mailbox owner must specify which Automated
Attendant’s Main Menu should be played.
Other Bulletin Board Options
Besides the Dial 0 Destination, callers have three other options:
[
] [
4
] Play the Bulletin Board message again.
[
] [
T
] ([
] [
8
]) Transfer to another extension.
[
] [
1
] Hear the Bulletin Board message in the alternate language
(bilingual mode only).
If the caller presses [
0
], [
] [
4
], [
] [
T
] ([
] [
8
]), or [
] [
1
] while the Bulletin Board
message is playing or within four seconds after the message ends, the appropriate
action is taken. If the caller does not select any of these options, the mail system says
“Good-bye” and disconnects the call.
NOTE for Bilingual Mode:
If callers can transfer to the Bulletin Board mailbox from another mailbox or can
select the Bulletin Board from an Automated Attendant menu, you do not need
to include the [
] [
1
] option in the Bulletin Board message, since the callers
already will have selected their preferred language. It is necessary to include
this option only if communications system users will transfer callers directly to
the Bulletin Board mailbox.
Bulletin Board Mailbox Password
A Bulletin Board mailbox has a password that can be changed by the mailbox owner.
The password must be at least as long as the length specified in the Minimum
Password Length parameter, and can be up to fifteen digits in length.
If the Bulletin Board mailbox owner forgets the password, you can reinitialize the
password in order for the owner to gain access to the mailbox. Initializing the
password does not affect the Bulletin Board message.
Applications
A Bulletin Board message could advertise a product for a sales office. The Dial 0
Destination for the Bulletin Board can be the extension of the account representative
for that product. For example:
“Cruise the Hawaiian Islands for $1299. Arrive in Honolulu on November
3rd, spend a day on Oahu touring Pearl Harbor and Diamond Head, then
board the ship on November 4th for stops at Maui, Lanai, and the big
island, Hawaii. This trip includes shipboard meals, tours, and transfers.
This trip does not include airfare. To speak to a travel agent who can
answer your questions or book your cruise, press [

] now.
