application. Most ViewPoint instructions also apply to using ViewPoint Web Access.

Using the telephone
Strata CS provides a sophisticated system of voice-guided menus that enable you to access most
Strata CS features by using the telephone commands on your telephone keypad. You can press
# at the dial tone, log on, and then follow the voice prompts to listen to your voicemail, forward
your calls, record greetings, and so on. When you are on a call, you can press
Flash to put the
call on hold and then follow the prompts to transfer calls, set up conference calls, and perform
other call-handling tasks.
For details about how to use the telephone commands, see Chapter 3 through Chapter 6. For a
summary of the telephone commands, see Appendix A.
Using the Flash command
Flash is a command you select using your telephone. Most phones have a Flash button. If yours
does not, you can do a Flash command by pressing and releasing the hook briefly.
