IP Office Embedded VoiceMail
Overview
IP Office Embedded VoiceMail is supported on the IP Office Small Office Edition, IP Office 406 V2 and IP Office
500 control units. Embedded VoiceMail does not require an IP Office license. It provides basic voicemail mailbox
operation without requiring a permanent voicemail server PC. It also provides multiple auto-attendant support for
incoming calls.
Embedded VoiceMail uses the following components:
Memory Card
The type and capacity depends on the memory card of the IP Office control unit. However, in all cases, the
cards are specially formatted for Embedded VoiceMail use. Alternate third-party memory cards are not
supported for Embedded VoiceMail.
IP Office IP406 V2 and IP500 Control Units
Use an Avaya supplied 512MB Type II Compact Flash memory card. Provides up to 15 hours of
uncompressed message storage. A memory card supplied for a Small Office Edition control unit
can not be used in the IP 406 V2 or IP 500 control unit.
IP Office Small Office Edition
Uses an Avaya supplied 64MB Compact Flash memory card within a PCMCIA card carrier.
Provides up to 10 hours of compressed message storage. A memory card supplied for a IP 406 V2
or IP 500 control unit can not be used in the Small Office Edition control unit.
Voice Compression Channels
Messages and prompts stored on the Small Office Edition memory card are compressed using the IP
Office control unit's voice compression channels. Thus voice compression channels are required during
any voicemail accesses. It is important to note that the same voice compression channels are also used for
VoIP calls.
IP Office 406 V2 and IP500 Control Units
Do not require or use voice compression channels for Embedded VoiceMail.
IP Office Small Office Edition
On the Small Office Edition, voice compression channels are pre-built into the control unit. Small
Office Edition control units are available in 3 channel and 16 channel variants. An existing Small
Office Edition control unit cannot be upgraded to add further voice compression channels.
IP Office Manager Application
During installation, connection to a PC running the IP Office Manager application is required. This is
required for IP Office configuration.
Note
Embedded VoiceMail cannot be used in conjunction with VoiceMail Lite or VoiceMail Pro. The presence of
a running VoiceMail Lite or VoiceMail Pro server on the same network may cause Embedded VoiceMail to
fail.
