Mitel NuPoint Messenger Technical Documentation - Release 7.0
Pager Systems Supported
You can configure the server with up to 16 different outdial access codes, each identified by an
index number (0-15). Each outdial line group does not need to support all access codes; for
example, a line group dedicated to radio paging for the local area code does not need to support
an access code designed for long distance call placement. Assigning only the required access
codes to an outdial line group makes it easier to plan and control traffic and prevent abuse.
The mailbox configuration specifies these access codes for use in placing internal calls, unbilled
external calls, and external calls charged to a billing number. You enter the appropriate pager
system numbers as the internal outdial index, billed outdial index, and unbilled outdial index.
The Pager Systems supported parameter assigns specific pager systems to the line group that is
currently selected. You should analyze your needs carefully before assigning pager systems. For
example, if your server will have message delivery, call placement, and outdialing to radio
pagers, you should take into account the fact that a single message delivery can take several
minutes (while the user plays the message, answers it, etc.), while activating a radio pager takes
a fraction of that time. Therefore, you might want to assign pager systems that outdial call
placement or message delivery calls to a larger line group.
Configuring a Dial String
Use the information in the following paragraphs for entries on the Mailbox Worksheet and Outdial
Line Group Worksheet.
When you are configuring the server to outdial, you want it to duplicate the steps that you would
perform to dial a pager or place a phone call.
Paging
Many telephone switches require that you dial an access code to get an outside line. To call the
pager, you usually dial the pager company telephone number, listen for a pager tone, then dial
the code number of the pager. Before you dial the pager company telephone number, however,
you pick up the receiver on the telephone, and listen for a dial tone to be sure that the telephone
system is ready to accept the number that you dial. The steps for successfully activating this
pager, therefore, are to (1) go off-hook and listen for the dial tone, (2) dial any access code
necessary to get an outside line, (3) dial the pager company telephone number, (4) listen for the
pager tone, then (5) dial the pager number. All these steps must be configured.
Message Delivery and Call Placement
Many telephone switches require that you dial an access code to get an outside line. Anything
you must do, such as waiting for tones, other than dialing the actual number, must be configured.
Translate Operations to a Dial String
The server recognizes certain characters, which allow you to duplicate the steps required to page
or place a telephone call. The pager dial strings consist of the characters listed in Table 4-1.
Note: The server always assumes a G (wait for greeting) as the last character in a message delivery dial
string.
Pager System Dial Strings
The server divides the characters for the sequence of events into three parts: the access code
