Making a Message a Login Announcement

About this task

To make a message a login announcement:

Procedure

  1. Log in to your mailbox.

    See the process flowchart Login Announcement Operation.

  2. Press 1 or 4 to record or review a message.
  3. Record, edit, and address the message as if it were a normal voice mail message.
  4. Press 9 to mark the message as a login announcement.

    If a subscriber cannot mark a message as a login announcement, that subscriber does not currently have permission to send login announcements. To allow a subscriber to send login announcements, go to the EditLocal Subscriber page and enter login in the Broadcast: field.

    If the broadcast mailbox already holds a login announcement that is not yet expired, the messaging software informs broadcasters that new login announcements are nondeliverable.

    NoteNote

    A login announcement cannot also be marked as a private or priority message.

  5. (OPTIONAL) Press:
    3 Schedule delivery.
    4 File a copy.
  6. (OPTIONAL) Press * M to access the following additional options:
    1 To turn off dial-though capability. (Press 1 again to undo.)
    NoteNote

    Turning off dial-through ensures that subscribers hear the entire announcement when logging in.

    2 Change the message expiration from the 2-day default:
    1. Enter numbers for the month and day of expiration.

      For example, press 1 0 0 8 for October 8.

      NoteNote

      The month can consist of 1 or 2 digits. The day must consist of 2 digits.

    2. Press # to save the expiration date or press 2again to start over.
