Page 6-27Calls From a Remote System Do Not Reach the Centralized Voice Messaging

■ For individual extensions that will receive coverage by the centralized
VMS/AA, establish a coverage group verify that the extensions are
assigned as senders in the group and the VMI calling group as the
receiver.
■ For calling groups that will receive overflow coverage to the centralized
VMS/AA, verify that the VMI calling group is assigned as the calling group
overflow receiver.
Possible Cause 2: The routing for the VMI conversion number is not
programmed correctly.
What to Do: Check the programmed routing for the VMI conversion number:
■ Verify the range for the VMI conversion number.
■ Check the pattern assigned to the VMI conversion number and verify that
the routes for the pattern are programmed as follows:
— The private network facility pool contains a pool of PRI or tie trunks, but
not mixed trunk types.
— The FRL for the route is 0.
— The digit absorption parameter is specified to absorb exactly the number
of digits in the VMI conversion number. For example, if the VMI
conversion number is 3738, 4 should be specified.
— The other (prepended) Digits parameter is specified to add the
extension number for the centralized VMS/AA calling group on the VMS
hub. For example, if the extension at the VMS hub is 7700, specify
prepending 7700.
— The voice/data attribute is set to Voice.
Possible Cause 3: All programmed available routes for the call are busy and/or
out of service.
What to do: Check that the pattern assigned to the VMI conversion number
includes routes that include pools that have a sufficient number of trunks to
handle the call volume and that all trunks are functioning properly.
■ Check the error logs for out of service (such as 4c03, Pool Busy &/or
OOS). Call your service provider if errors are present, and/or call the
Lucent Technologies Helpline at 1 800 628-2888; consultation charges
may apply
■ If you’re not sure of the pattern number being used to route calls in your
local system, see “Reviewing the Non-Local Dial Plan and Routing” on
page 3.
■ To add different routes that can handle the call, consult the coordinating
system manager and see “Uniform Dial Plan Routing” on page 25
or
“Centralized Voice Message” in Chapter 4 of
System Programming.
