menu which performs a search operation to match the caller ENTRY to the
INPUT value of a pointer, or Number of an Extension, Mailbox or
Announcement.
● OPERATOR Pointer This is the target Block that the SVMi-4 will pass con-
trol to if the caller presses the Operator digit while listening to the mailbox
greeting or recording a message.
● AUTO-FWD Pointer This is the Mailbox to forward new messages to when
the time has expired in the ‘Auto-Forward Message After’ parameter. The tar-
get must be another mailbox and may not point back to itself.
MENU BLOCK
Description The Menu is used to speak something to the caller, collect a
caller’s DTMF entry, and pass control to another Block. A menu can accept
entries from 1 to 10 digits in length.
The Menu performs a search operation to match the caller ENTRY. For example, a
Menu prompt may be, “You may dial an extension directly or for sales press 1,
for service press 2.”L If the caller presses 1, a pointer with an Input value of
<1> directs the caller to an extension group within the phone system called
“SALES.” If the caller entered 123, the MENU may be configured to search for
an extension or mailbox.
