Automated Attendant
Description
The Automated Attendant can automatically answer incoming calls, play an announcement, and provide
dialing options to callers. There are 3 major Automated Attendant components:
■ Answering Table (page 54)
The Answering Table determines how the Automated Attendant answers outside calls on each voice mail
port, according to the time of the day and day of the week that the call is ringing. The Answering Table
divides the time of day and day of the week into individual schedules, which in turn assign a Call Routing
Mailbox to each call. There are 50 Answering Tables, with 20 schedules within each table.
There are three
types of Schedules: Day (single day), Range of Days (e.g., Monday through Friday), and Specific Date
(e.g., 12/25).
■ Call Routing Mailbox (page 88)
A Call Routing Mailbox is a mailbox associated with an individual Answering Table schedule. It speci-
fies which dialing options (Dial Action Table) are available to callers. It also provides two announce-
ments to callers: the Welcome Message (which greets callers) and the Instruction Menu (which describes
the caller’s dialing options). By default, there are 17 Call Routing Mailboxes.
■ Dial Action Table (page 116)
Once the Automated Attendant answers, the Dial Action Table provides the dialing options to callers.
Each digit a caller can dial is assigned a specific action (function) in the Dial Action Table. The dial
action used depends on the setting in the active Call Routing Mailbox, which in turn depends on the
Answering Table setup. There are 500 Dial Action Tables.
The following block diagram shows the default Automated Attendant setup.
