Quality Voice Mail Processing with Your Answering Machine 

 

1.- Complete Voice Mail Processing This telephone intercom system interoperates with your answering machine to provide the most complete and professional voice mail processing system. Best results with a machine which provides individual voice mail boxes. You will normally place your machine in a common location, so users can optionally quickly check the indicators for received messages as soon as they get back home. You will also set the machine to pick up calls after 4 rings as most users do.

This gives you enough time to pick up the phone on incoming calls when you are at home so you don't need to turn the answering machine on and off all the time. As to the intercom calls, there is no risk for the answering device to pick up on intercom calls because  most machines will count a complete sequence of intercom rings as one single ring.

ATT-1725

When  users get back home, they can read received messages right off the voice mail appliance as usual or from the privacy of their own bedroom via phone handset. The user picks the handset and dials his/her own ID number. When the machine picks the call, the user dials the remote access code to his individual mailbox. He will operate the machine just as he would from a remote external location.

Machines with voice prompts make it exceptionally easy to enter remote commands not only to read personal messages, but to otherwise operate the device from afar. We highly recommend the use of the ATT-1725 model from AT&T. Excellent audio quality (as opposed to garbled audio with most other equivalent devices) and excellent integration with the Ultimatoll systems! Yet if you prefer your answering machine not to interact at all with the intercom system, that is also simple to do with the Premium Ultimatoll system. Once that is set, the machine will not pick up on intercom calls and will not be accessible from handsets.

2.- Advanced Fax/Answering Machine Management  This telephone intercom system allows you to use both your advanced answering machine (with multiple mailboxes) and your fax machine on your single

phone line. Plug the fax machine into a phone jack as any other extension phone of the system and plug your answering machine into the Extension jack of the fax machine1. Complete your setup by setting the fax machine to pick up calls after the answering machine (after 5 or more rings). On incoming calls or intercom calls, your answering machine will pick up first and process the calls just as explained above, while the fax machine will keep screening the line for fax messages. On fax calls the fax machine will quickly take over after disconnecting the answering machine from the call.  If your fax machine integrates voice answering capability with fax message handling, your setup is pretty simple. You will  only need an appropriate outgoing greeting message (OGM) to instruct callers on your options. When using a stand-alone answering machine. You will never need  voice/fax discriminator to help share the line between fax and answering machine.  Your overall capabilities with The Ultimatoll integrating your answering devices: You will attend normally to your calls when you are at home by picking them in their early stage (within 4 ring counts).  If it is a call for someone else you will just transfer the call to that user. If you know that user is absent, transfer it in automatic mode and the answering machine will pick up so the caller leaves a message to the desired person. Your greeting will tell the caller which mailbox to use. If is is a fax call (you'll hear little fax tones), transfer the call in automatic mode to yourself. The fax machine will pick up and process the incoming document. If you don't want to pick the calls, or if you want to screen your calls remotely, pick them up at the 4th ring count. The remote voice mail machine will also pick up and attend to the call. Hit a button on the phone keypad to take over the call if you wish to do so after recognizing the caller.  When a user wants to read his voice mail, he calls himself and access his personal mailbox on the remote voice mail machine.
