MAS - CA - Add Association/Association Properties Dialog Box

This topic describes how to use the Add Association dialog box to configure links between a deployed caller application and the information from the Telephone User Interface (TUI) used to access the caller application.

Existing associations can be edited via the Association Properties dialog box. This has the same fields.

Launching the Add Association Dialog Box

In the Modular Messaging Caller Applications window, double-click on the Deployed applications node.

Double-click the voice mail domain node on which caller applications are deployed.

Click the

Associations node.

For more information on this node, see MAS - CA - Associations Node.

Click the

Action > New > Association menu command. The system displays Add Association dialog box.

Launching the Association Properties Dialog Box

Click the

Associations node.

Click on an existing

association listed in the right hand pane.

Click the

Action > Properties menu command. The system displays Association Properties dialog box for the selected association.

Configuring the Screen Controls

Association name Enter a unique name for the association.

Caller application Select the name of the caller application that will be launched when the conditions of the association are met.

Association ID Enter the sequence of digits that callers are prompted to enter (as a mailbox number) by the Automated Attendant or caller application. The default is 1.

This is the number used to launch the caller application. If you do not configure this ID number, you must specify a Called number.

Note: An ID number cannot be longer than the mailbox length specified in the voice mail domain. However, if the ID number has fewer digits than a mailbox number, the caller must enter [#] at the end of the association number to replace the missing digits, or wait for a time-out period.

Called number Enter the direct dial number or extension number that callers must enter to launch the application. If you do not configure this number, you must configure an Association ID number.

Note: You must also configure the Called number on the switch. Do this in the same way as you would configure an extension number for a user. Set up this Called number to forward all calls to the pilot number. The Called number will then be the number that callers dial to access Avaya Modular Messaging and the caller application.

Mailbox number (Optional) Enter the number of the mailbox. This is used:

To supply announcements for the caller application, if the Announcement field in the caller application is set to <default>.
