Centralized Voice Messaging Programming 5
Allowing the user to dial the same extension number to reach the centralized
voice messaging system to retrieve messages regardless of location requires
special programming that is described below:
■ Select a calling group number to be used at the VMS hub systems and all
remote systems sharing the centralized VMS/AA and renumber all
systems’ VMI calling group to the selected extension number (for example
7700). This is the number of an integrated VMI calling group that will
receive coverage and overflow calls on all systems, and that can be dialed
by users on all systems to access the voice mail system. Provide this
extension number to all subscribers as the extension number used to reach
the voice messaging system.
■ At the (VMS hub) system where the centralized VMS/AA resides, program
the following:
— Establish a calling group for the centralized VMS/AA with the selected
common extension for all VMI calling groups sharing the centralized
VMS/AA in the private network (for example, 7700).
— Assign the extension for the ports used to connect the centralized
VMS/AA as members of the calling group and set the FRL for these
extensions to 3.
— Assign the calling group hunt type as required on the VMS/AA system
requirements.
— Assign the calling group type as Integrated VMI.
— Assign other applicable parameters for the calling group as needed.
— For individual local extensions that will receive coverage by the
centralized VMS/AA, establish a coverage group. Assign the extensions
as senders in the group and the centralized VMS/AA calling group as
the receiver.
— For calling groups that will receive overflow coverage to the centralized
VMS/AA, assign the centralized VMS/AA calling group as the calling
group overflow receiver.
■ At each remote MERLIN LEGEND systems sharing the centralized
VMS/AA, program the following:
— Select an unused non-local extension number that is not included in any
other range to be the VMI conversion number and assign it as a single-
extension range. The number of dialed digits equals the number of digits
for the VMI conversion number.
— Assign a pattern for this VMI conversion number that is not used for
normal private network calls. Set up the routes associated with the
pattern as follows:
1. Assign a private network facility pool that contains a pool of
PRI or tie trunks, but not mixed trunk types.
