LOG-IN PARAMETERS
|
Login Retries: |
3
|
The number of sequential login attempts that
is allowed before the INTUITY AUDIX system disconnects the caller.
|
Consecutive Invalid Login Attempts: |
Default: 18 |
The maximum number of consecutive unsuccessful
login attempts that is allowed before the caller is locked out
of the system.
|
System Guest Password: |
From 1 to 15 numeric characters
Default: blank |
A password that people without mailboxes can
use to leave messages for system subscribers. The system does
not allow subscribers to create a password that is the
same as the guest password.
|
Minimum Password Length: |
From 0 to 15
Default: 0 |
The minimum number of characters that is required
for a subscriber password. Passwords need to have at least 5 digits
and must exceed by at least 1 digit the number of digits in an
extension number. If limitations are not in place, many subscribers
often choose easily guessed numbers for their password.
|
PASSWORD AGING LIMITS (DAYS) |
Password Expiration Interval: |
From 1 to 999
Default: 0; turns password aging off
|
The number of days that a password is active
on the INTUITY AUDIX system. The Password Aging feature requires
subscribers to change their password at an interval defined by
the system administrator. This feature enhances overall system
security and helps protect against toll fraud by making the INTUITY
AUDIX system less vulnerable to break-ins. Turning Password Aging
on causes all passwords to expire immediately. To make all passwords
expire, enter 0, press F3 (Enter), and then set
the interval back to its original value and press F3 (Enter).
If Password Aging is active, you can force the expiration of a
subscriber's password by entering e in the Password
field of the Subscriber screen.
|
Minimum Age Before Changes: |
|
The minimum number of days that must pass before subscribers can change their passwords again after a successful change. |
Expiration Warning: |
|
The number of days before the password expires
for the system to notify the subscriber of impending expiration.
If you enter 0, a subscriber does not receive any warning
that the password is about to expire.
|
INPUT TIME LIMITS (SECONDS) |
Normal: |
Default: 60 |
The number of seconds that the AUDIX system
waits for a subscriber to enter a command before sending a timeout
warning.
|
Full Mailbox Timeout: |
Default: 5 |
The number of seconds that the AUDIX system waits for a touchtone entry from a caller after informing the caller that the called subscriber's mailbox is full. |
Wait (*W): |
Default: 180 |
Enter the number of seconds that the AUDIX
system waits after a subscriber enters the wait command (*
W or * 9) before sending a time out warning.
|
Between Digits at Auto-attendant or Standalone Menu: |
Default: 3 |
The maximum number of seconds the AUDIX system waits
between touchtone signals before timing out. If a caller does not press
another key, the system is disconnected. This maximum applies both to
interaction with an automated attendant menu and to touchtone signals
during a call answer session, for example, during the time a caller
is to enter a destination extension.
|
DISCONNECT OPTIONS |
Quick Silence Disconnect? |
|
Enables or disables quick silence disconnect. The DEFINITY switch is able to detect the following types of disconnect signaling employed in several countries:
- Open loop (analog trunks)
- Polarity reversal (analog trunks)
- Bit-oriented signaling (digital trunks)
In some telephone systems, however, there is no
disconnect signaling. When the INTUITY AUDIX system does not receive
reliable disconnect information, valuable storage space might be used
needlessly because the system continues recording longer than is necessary.
Quick silence-disconnect signaling enhances INTUITY
AUDIX operation for calls in which there is no disconnect signaling
and the line simply goes silent after the caller hangs up. When quick
silence disconnect is administered, the system is disconnected as follows:
- During a call answer recording, upon detecting silence for a period that exceeds the silence limit administered on this screen.
- At all other times, after
two expirations of the Input time limit (see INPUT
TIME LIMITS (SECONDS)). The INTUITY AUDIX system provides
a system prompt and a Help message after the first expiration.
The system says "Good-bye" and is disconnected after the second
expiration.
|
Quick Silence Disconnect? (cont'd)
|
|
When recording a message in a voice mail session
(as opposed to a call answer session), the system is not disconnected
upon detecting silence but rather after two expirations of the input
time limit. If you use quick silence disconnect, there are long periods
of silence at the end of call answer messages. If subscribers report
problems with the silence in messages, consider changing this setting.
|
Silence Limit? |
|
The time in seconds that the AUDIX system waits for caller input before dropping call answer recordings if quick silence disconnect is enabled. |
