AT&T Voice Messaging System Answering Machine User Manual


 
If Outcalling is on, the voice messaging system calls the designated
phone numbers in the order that they are stored in the Outcalling list.
This is called cascading. When a call is completed to a telephone or
voice pager, the system plays a message which identifies the call as
coming from the MERLIN MAIL system, and continues: "You have a new
message. To access your new message, enter extension and [#].
To
avoid further notification about this message, press [*] [#]. Please enter
extension and [#]. " The Outcalling message does not play for digital
pager calls. The pager will display the callback number that you have
programmed in the pager’s Outcalling number. When you receive an
Outcalling call on a digital pager, you must call into the voice messaging
system to retrieve your messages.
Calling continues until one of the following actions occur:
During the Outcalling message call, you press [*] [#] to cancel
Outcalling until a new message arrives.
You log in to your MERLIN MAIL Voice Messaging System mailbox.
The Outcalling interval specified in your schedule is over.
The voice messaging system has attempted to deliver the message
(by calling all numbers in your Outcalling list) the number of times
specified through the Outcalling cycles programming option.
Use the following general rules to specify an Outcalling number:
Up to 60 characters may be used.
End the Outcalling number with [*]
[#].
Use the digits [0] - [9] for the Outcalling number itself.
Specify 1.5 second dialing pauses, as needed, with [*]. More than
one [*]
may be used.
For Outcalling to a pager you must put a sufficient number of pauses
([*])
after the phone number to allow time for the paging service to
answer before the Personal Identification Number (PIN) or callback
number is dialed.
Put a [#] in your Outcalling number where needed. One example is
Outcalling to a digital paging service where a PIN needs to be
followed by a [#].
You cannot have a [*] followed immediately by a [#] in your
Outcalling number. When you press [*]
[#] you are telling the system
that you have finished entering your Outcalling number.
