Voice Profile for Internet Mail 373
Voice Profile for
Internet Mail
The NBX system transmits Voice Profile for Internet Mail (VPIM) voice mail
messages by attaching them to e-mail messages. The system then uses
SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) or ESMTP (Extended Simple Mail
Transfer Protocol) to send the e-mail message and its VPIM attachment.
Using VPIM, users on an NBX system can send voice mail to a user on any
voice mail system that is VPIM-compliant.
Using the NBX NetSet utility, you can configure several VPIM parameters
and check VPIM status. See these sections for more information:
■ Control Parameters
■ Operations Management
■ Statistics
■ Advanced Settings
Control Parameters To configure VPIM control parameters, select NBX Messaging > VPIM. See
the Help for the procedure on configuring control parameters.
Table 65
explains the VPIM control parameter fields and their purpose.

Field Purpose
Max message size Controls the size of incoming messages from other
sites. If a message is larger than the specified
value, the NBX system rejects it. The default value
represents a voice mail message approximately 4
to 5 minutes in length.
Default: 3000 Kbytes
Minimum: 500 Kbytes
Maximum: 5000 Kbytes
Time between send attempts
(minutes)
For outgoing messages, the NBX system may not
be able to contact the target system on the first
attempt. If so, the NBX system attempts to contact
the target system later. To change the time
between attempts to send a voice mail message,
change this number.
Default: 15 minutes
Minimum: 1 minute
Maximum: 60 minutes
