The subscriber name recording is
the spoken name that is recorded for or by each messaging subscriber. This
fragment is spoken by the messaging system during call answering, such as
"Your call is being answered. Jane Doe is not available." The
first fragment ("Your call is being answered.") and the third
fragment ("is not available.") are messaging system fragments. The second
fragment ("Jane Doe") is the subscriber's recorded name fragment. If
a name is not recorded, callers or message recipients hear the extension
number, not the name, of the subscriber.
You have two options for recording subscriber names:
- Record the names yourself from the extension that has announcement control permission.
- Recommended. Activate the Name
Record by Subscriber feature on the System-Parameters Features screen. Then,
the messaging system asks each subscriber to record a name the first time that
she or he logs in. If you record subscribers' names before they log in for
the first time, they are not prompted to record their names. However, subscribers
always have the option of recording their names by using the telephone.
To create or change a subscriber's name recording:
- From your telephone,
dial the messaging system extension.
- Enter your extension
(the one that has announcement control permission) followed by the
pound sign (#) when prompted.
- Enter your password followed
by the pound sign (#) when prompted.
- Press 9 to perform
system administration.
- Press 4 to record
a subscriber's name.
- Enter the extension of
the subscriber whose name you are about to record followed by the
pound sign (#) when prompted.
- Speak the subscriber's
name clearly when prompted.
- Press the pound sign
(#) to signify the end of the recording.
- When you are finished
with this subscriber name recording, choose one of the following:
- Repeat Step 6 to Step 8 for
each additional subscriber name you want to add or change.
- Press # 7 to return to
the Activity menu or just hang up to exit the messaging system.
