- Enable Automated Attendant The system Automated Attendant greets callers and instructs them how to proceed. It allows transfers to subscriber extensions.
If your PBX does not support Direct Inward Dialing (DID), Avaya recommends that you enable the Automated Attendant. By default, this check box is selected.
When enabled, the system can be set to present callers with a list of menu options from which to choose. When disabled, the system transfers callers directly to the subscriber’s mailbox, where they can leave a message.
|
Note:
If you disable the automated attendant, subscribers cannot transfer to subscriber extensions.

For more information, see VMSC - VMD - Auto Attendant Dialog Box.
- Enable Caller Applications Select to enable caller applications in the voice mail domain. If disabled, deployed applications are ignored by the MASs in the voice mail domain. If a caller application is in use, when it is disabled, it will continue to work until it is no longer in use. By default, this check box is selected.
For more information, see MAS - Caller Applications (CA) Editor.
- Number of Digits in a Mailbox Enter the number of digits in a subscriber's mailbox number. The range is 3 through 10 and the default is 4. Avaya recommends that you make subscribers’ mailbox numbers the same as their telephone extension numbers. If a subscriber has multiple extension numbers, make the mailbox number the same as the primary extension number.
For guidance on setting up a mailbox numbering scheme, see the Avaya Modular Messaging Release 3 Concepts and Planning Guide.

Note:
The primary extension number is the one that defines call handling behavior for the subscriber. It is used for the Message Waiting Indicator, if configured for that.

- Enable New Mailbox Initialization Select to play the setup tutorial to new subscribers the first time they open their mailboxes. The tutorial guides new subscribers through the process of changing their passwords and recording personalized prompts. This check box is selected by default.
- Maximum Call Duration in Minutes Enter the number of minutes that callers or subscribers are permitted to spend using the TUI during one session. When this time is up, they are disconnected. The range is 0 through 99 and the default is 0. If 0 is configured, there is no time limit on a TUI session.
|
Note:
If subscribers reach the maximum duration time while recording a message, when they finish recording, they are disconnected and cannot address or send the message.
|
|
- Default Input Timeout in Seconds Enter the number of seconds the TUI waits for a dual tone multi-frequency (DTMF) response from callers before prompting them to proceed. This timeout period begins anew each time a key is pressed. The range is 0 through 99 and the default is 5.
If a caller exceeds this timeout at any prompt, then the system prompts the caller to try again. In the case of a login attempt, the user is told that the login attempt was invalid and is prompted to try again.
If the caller exceeds the timeout four consecutive times, then the system terminates the call.
Notes:
- Relevant United States regulations require that time-out periods be long enough to permit people with disabilities to make a selection without being disconnected. These regulations do not specify, or even suggest, a minimal amount of time that must be allowed. Avaya recommends that you use a value of at least 40 seconds for this field.
- This is an inter-digit timeout and is used only for the Aria TUI. For the AUDIX TUI and Serenade TUI, the value of 30 seconds is hard coded in a file.

- Allow Private Call Answer Messages Select this option to allow callers to mark as private messages left for subscribers. When this option is selected, the caller hears a prompt at the end of the message allowing the message to be marked as private. When this option is cleared, the privacy option prompt does not play. This option is selected by default.
