Introduction to configuring PBX integration

Integration is accomplished when a call is forwarded to the messaging application server (MAS), and the PBX passes information about the call to the MAS. This information includes calling party identification (if known), called party identification, and a call type code. There are several ways in which this call information can be transmitted, depending on the integration type. With PBX integration, callers who are forwarded to the MAS can leave a message for the called party or are given the option to transfer to another extension.

You can configure the following PBX integration properties for each MAS in the voice mail domain.

Notes:  
  • You may be prompted to stop and restart the MAS after you make changes to a property in Voice Mail System Configuration. If so, the changes do not take effect until you stop and restart the MAS.
  • You must configure the PBX integration for each MAS in your system.

For more information on configuring your PBX, see the PBX configuration note. Configuration notes are available from the Avaya Support Center, at http://support.avaya.com

Before you begin

Ensure you have read Messaging Application Server (MAS) Basics. That chapter introduces you to the Voice Mail System Configuration application used to perform the configuration.

Start the Voice Mail System Configuration application from the Modular Messaging Software folder.

Before you can configure PBX integration, ensure that you have selected the correct PBX type.
