Call Sender
For internal calls, a call attempt times out after The number of seconds that elapse before the telephony server sends an internal call initiated from Call Sender to voice mail.

The default is 16 seconds.

The value must be less than the time taken by a call to a local extension to roll over to voice mail in RNA. If you configure the time out value at the system level on the telephony server, you will be able to check your telephony server for a typical setting.

For external calls, a call attempt times out after The number of seconds that elapse before the telephony server sends an external call initiated from Call Sender to voice mail.

The default is 45 seconds.

During Call Sender initiated calls, to avoid a call going to voice mail, the time out value for Call Sender must be lower than the time taken by a call to an external telephone number to roll over to voice mail in RNA cases.

Maximum duration of a Call Sender initiated call The maximum duration of a call, in seconds, when placing a call using Call Sender. The default is 10800 seconds, that is, 3 hours.
Recording Times
Maximum voice message length The maximum time for a message recording measured in seconds.

The default is 1200 seconds, that is, 20 minutes.

Choose a duration that is one ring less than the number of rings for call forwarding defined on the telephony server. The default is 16000 milliseconds and the maximum is 999999999 milliseconds.

Reach Me
Number of seconds per ring for “Reach Me” For the Reach Me feature, the number of seconds a ring is presumed to take when calculating how long to wait before timing out.

Caller Access to System Main Menu
Allow callers to reach the system main menu Allow a caller to leave a call answering session by pressing * and gain access to the system main menu, from where other mailboxes can be reached. The options are:

The default is yes.

The value set in this field is only applicable to users with the Aria TUI.

Fax
Fax receiving The fax method to use for receiving an incoming fax. The options are:
  • Detect and transfer to fax server: If the recipient user belongs to a CoS that allows fax, then the user receives the fax through the user fax server account.

Fax detection time-out The duration, in milliseconds, that the application server listens to possible fax tones after accepting a call.

The default is 40000.

If you configure a site with multiple languages and a user has long greetings, these could add up to exceed the 40 seconds fax time-out duration. In this scenario, if someone tries to send a fax to the user, waits for the entire prompt to finish, and hits the send button on the fax, the fax will not meet the 40 seconds time-out duration. In such scenarios, you must adjust the time-out duration even longer.
