New in this release

Avaya Aura® Messaging Release 6.2 offers new features and functionalities that extend the product capability and enhance the user experience.

Multiple greetings for the Audix TUI

The Audix TUI mailbox users can create up to nine optional greetings for announcing specific greetings for various contexts. For more information, see Greetings.

Multilingual prompting

This release supports multilingual prompting of up to three languages at both the Auto Attendant and mailbox level for caller experience.

Messaging supports multiple regions where mailbox users and callers use a language other than the primary language of the Messaging system. For more information, see Multilingual prompting.

Expanded language support

Release 6.2 supports four new languages, including Arabic, Castilian Spanish, Dutch, and Polish.

This release supports installation of more than three languages simultaneously.

For more information, see Multilingual support.

Improved accessibility for the hearing or speech impaired

Messaging Release 6.2 supports a teletypewriter (TTY), a data terminal that people who are hearing impaired or speech impaired can use to transmit and receive text through a telephone system. TTY is only available from the Audix TUI.

For more information, see Messaging with a teletypewriter.

Improved redundancy

Messaging Release 6.2 interoperates with Message Mirror to achieve a complete disaster recovery of voice messages and related information such as greetings, names, passwords, and LDAP data. Message Mirror thus supports uninterrupted voice messaging in the event of an outage and assures full restoration of saved data to the primary storage server after it is back online.

Message Mirror only supports the Avaya message store server. Message Mirror does not support the mixed storage server configurations that include the Avaya message store server and the Microsoft Exchange storage server.

For more information, see Message Mirror.

Migrations from Octel Aria to Messaging

This release supports migration of user mailbox properties, messages, recorded names, and user greetings from legacy Octel Aria systems to Messaging.

For more information, see User data migrations and system upgrades.

Speech to Text

Release 6.2 supports speech to text conversion using Mutare's giSTT. With Speech to Text, Messaging delivers text transcription of voice messages through email or text message. This increases personal productivity by saving downtime associated with voice mail retrieval and playback.

For more information, see Speech-to-Text.

Application server alarming

Messaging Release 6.2 generates application server alarms to notify the administrator or the support team about the alarms and logs.

Option to disable Audio Branding

Release 6.2 provides an administrative option to enable or disable the Avaya Audio Branding feature.

No support for VMware Zimbra

Release 6.2 has discontinued support for the VMware Zimbra message store.
