Day / Night Personal Greeting The Night Personal Greeting works in conjunction with the subscriber's Weekly
Availability Schedule.
During the defined day period SVMi-8 will automatically play the Primary No-Answer Greeting to callers, unless the
subscriber is busy on another call and has recorded a Busy Greeting or Call Blocking is set active, and a Call
Blocking Greeting is recorded. During the time periods a subscriber is not scheduled available to take calls, and does
not have Call Blocking activated, SVMi-8 plays the Night Greeting.
Find Me When Find Me is set active, the SVMi-8 attempts to deliver calls to the subscriber's designated location,
provided neither Call Blocking, nor Forward All Call, is active. The SVMi-8 first tries to locate the subscriber at the
subscriber's designated location. Then, if necessary, it tries each of the subscriber's Stored Telephone Numbers until
all numbers have been called.
After each stored telephone number, the SVMi-8 will prompt the caller: "I'm still trying to locate (called party's
recorded name). If you would like me to continue, please stay on the line. If not, press the pound key for other
options." If SVMi-8 cannot locate the subscriber, the subscriber's Call Blocking Greeting is played to the caller.
This feature can be activated for a number of hours, 1 to 9, for the end of the current business day, for the beginning
of the next business day, for a day of the coming week, for Monday through Sunday, for a specific date, for hour and
minute, or until further notice.
Follow Me (Off Premises Transfer) Each subscriber may have their calls automatically forwarded to a designated
location. We call that location, the subscriber's Designated Location. A Designated Location can be an internal exten-
sion or an external telephone number. It can be entered digit-by-digit or the subscriber can enter a Stored Telephone
Number Index Digit representing the location of the appropriate number.
Whenever a subscriber sets his designated location to a number other than his extension number, SVMi-8 prompts,
"How long do you want this number to be your designated location?"
This feature can be activated for a number of hours, 1 to 9, for the end of the current business day, for the beginning
of the next business day, for a day of the coming week, for Monday through Sunday, for a specific date, hour and
minute, or until further notice.
Hold for Busy Station The SVMi-8 may be enabled to allow callers to hold for a busy station. When a caller elects
to hold, the SVMi-8 places the caller in a Hold Queue. If additional callers attempt to reach the busy extension and
they choose to hold, they can be informed of their position in the queue and the estimated hold time before being
connected. Callers given the option to hold may be limited to insure that system ports are not monopolized. When
the limit is reached, callers can be routed to other extensions or applications that have been configured to deal with
this condition.
Multiple Personal Greetings (9) When a subscriber does not answer and accept a call, the SVMi-8 will answer.
SVMi-8 recognizes five different reasons why a subscriber does not answer a call. We refer to these reasons as 'Call
Coverage Conditions'. SVMi-8 allows a subscriber to assign a different personal greeting to each Call Coverage
Condition. A condition should be considered a "socket" into which a personal greeting is plugged. The greeting that
gets plugged into each "socket" should offer caller options appropriate for that condition.
SVMi-8 provides each subscriber nine (9) personal greetings, labeled 1 through 9. A subscriber can assign (plug in)
any greeting to any Call Coverage Condition. However, when a subscriber first logs on to the SVMi-8, personal
greetings numbered 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5, are assigned to their respective Call Coverage Conditions (No Answer, Busy,
Fwd All/DND, Night and Call Screening). The remaining four personal greetings, labeled 6 through 9 are normally
used as alternatives to the greetings assigned to these conditions.
