2.38 External Auto Attendant/Voice Mail
2.38.1 AA/VM Group
Description
The system provides support for an adjunct Auto Attendant/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.
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.
Operation
The system will interface with the External AA/VM based on database assignments.
Conditions
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.
Programming
Keyset Admin.
