Sending a voice message

Use the following procedure to send a voice message to a subscriber on a remote system that is administered on the local system.

For acceptance tests, you must administer two test subscribers for each remote machine. For example, if you plan to network with four remote machines named CB1, CB2, CB3, and CB4, you need to administer two test subscribers on each machine. During acceptance testing, you address voice messages to each of those test subscribers. See Managing remote subscribers for information on administering remote subscribers on the system.

To send a test message to a remote user:

  1. Dial the local voice messaging extension.
  2. When prompted to enter an mailbox number, press # and use the telephone keypad to enter a local test subscriber mailbox number followed by #.
  3. Enter the password for the local test subscriber followed by #.
  4. You hear the main menu.

  5. Press 2 to send a voice message.
  6. At the tone, say the following:

    "This is a test message from <your name>. Please call me to verify that you have received this message. My number is <your number>."

  7. Press # when you stop recording and approve the message.
  8. "Please enter the first address and then press pound."

  9. Enter the address for a remote test subscriber followed by #. The address includes the prefix, if any, and the extension of the remote test subscriber.
  10. After you press #, the remote machine repeats the remote test subscriber extension you entered.

  11. Repeat Step 6 for each remote test subscriber on each remote machine.
  12. When you complete entering remote test subscriber addresses, press # twice.
  13. You hear the following prompt:

    "To send your message now, press pound. For urgent, press 2. To specify future delivery, press 4."

  14. Press # to send the message.
  15. The system schedules the delivery and returns you to the activity menu.

  16. Hang up the telephone.
  17. Continue with Receiving voice messages from remote test subscribers.
