2.38 External Auto Attendant/Voice Mail
2.38.1 AA/VM Group
Description
The system provides support for an adjunct AA (Auto Attendant)/VM (Voice Mail) system via
connection to SLT ports. When a call arrives for the External AA/VM Group, the system will
search the group for an idle port and deliver the call.
For AA/VM systems that employ SLT ports, signaling information between the iPECS and
external AA/VM system may be assigned for in-band DTMF signaling or the SMDI (Simplified
Message Desk Interface) signaling protocol over the assigned iPECS system RS-232 port.
SIP based external AA/VM systems employ standard SIP signaling, and require a SIP server
license and a license for each simultaneous call the AA/VM system will support.
Operation
Conditions
The system will interface with the External AA/VM based on database assignments.
1. Selection of SMDI or in-band signaling can be configured using Virtual Dip Switch
settings (PGM 453-button 2 or the Maintenance admin).
2. Only one AA/VM Group (Internal or External) can be defined in the system. Multiple
definitions will cause erroneous system operation.
