About NVM-
Series
NVM-Series connects to your telephone system and provides an
Automated Attendant plus Voice Mail. NVM-Series includes the fol-
lowing products: NVM-2, NVM-22, NVM-202ex and NVM-2000.
About This Guide
This guide describes the NVM-Series features and how they integrate
with the 124i/384i, Portrait 308/824 and ONYX/DS01 telephone sys-
tems. Some of the features in this guide are not applicable to all NVM-
Series models and to all telephone systems. (Refer to the Feature Cross
Reference Chart at the back of this guide for the specifics.)
About the Automated Attendant
The Automated Attendant answers your company's incoming calls, then
plays a recorded "greeting," usually in the form of a Welcome Message
and Instruction Menu. For example, an outside caller may hear:
●
Thank you for calling ABC company. If you are calling from a
Touch Tone phone, please dial the extension number you wish to
reach or dial 0 for assistance. If you are calling from a rotary
dial phone, please stay on the line for assistance.
The caller simply dials a code to route their own call. Or, the caller
waits for assistance from the company operator.
About Voice Mail
The Voice Mail system lets outside callers leave recorded messages
for you. This is very handy when you are out of the office. And, it lets
you leave recorded messages for your co-workers. The messages get
stored in each person's voice mailbox. To listen to your messages or
use other NVM-Series Voice Mail features, you call your mailbox (see
page 6).

About Fax Mail
The FAX Mail Option lets callers send a FAX message to your mail-
box. NVM-Series stores the faxed document as if it were a message,
hence the name FAX Message. What’s nice about FAX Mail is that
FAX Messages stay private until you are ready to get a printout of
them. To learn how callers can send you FAX Messages and how you
can retrieve them, turn to page 36.
About Voice Mail Networking
If your NVM-Series system is equipped with the Voice Mail
Networking Option, you will be able to exchange messages with any
other Voice Mail system that allows AMIS Networking. This means
that you can call your NVM-Series mailbox and record a message for
someone who is using another AMIS-compatible Voice Mail System.
NVM-Series collects all the recorded "network messages" and sends
them to the other Voice Mail systems at the pre-programmed time (s).
In addition, you can receive messages from other Voice Mail systems.
NVM-Series provides two types of Network Mailboxes for recording
messages:
■Remote Network Mailbox
This mailbox is associated with a particular Voice Mail system, per-
haps the Voice Mail system that is installed at your corporate offices.
To have NVM-Series send your message to someone at the corporate
offices, you would enter the Remote Network Mailbox number, then
the recipient's mailbox number (called the "destination mailbox").
■Alias Network Mailbox
This mailbox is for a particular person at one of the other Voice Mail
systems, perhaps a customer or client you call several times a day. To
have NVM-Series send your message to this person, you enter their
Alias Mailbox number. That's it. Just as easy as sending a message to
someone in your own company.
Introducing NVM-
Series

17600sug02_34.qxd 2/11/98 2:58 PM Page 2

And while you are listening to a network message from another Voice
Mail system, you can:
■Record a reply. NVM-Series will deliver your reply to the message
sender at the programmed delivery time.
■Make an immediate call to the message sender. No need to exit your
mailbox and make the call.
■Forward the message to another mailbox.
To find detailed instructions for recording and listening to network
messages, simply look for the recording and listening topics in the
Table of Contents. All the instructions in this guide apply to network
messages as well as non-network message with a few exceptions,
which are noted.
About the Voice Prompts
The voice prompts are step-by-step recorded instructions that tell you
what codes to press on a Touch Tone phone to access the NVM-Series
features. In this guide, voice prompts will look like this: To listen to
your messages, press
L
. To record and send a message, press
RS
.
You'll notice that the codes are easy to remember because they match
some letter (s) in the feature name. And, you do not have to listen to
the entire voice prompt before dialing a code.
If you forget what to press or you press a code and hear, That is an invalid
entry, you should just wait a few seconds without pressing anything.
NVM-Series will repeat your choices or will play the voice prompt: For a
help message, press zero. Pressing zero gives you a recorded help message.
When you become familiar with the NVM-Series system, you can turn
off some of the voice prompts, if you wish, and dial zero for recorded
help if you need it. For more information, see Auto Help on page 54.
Your NVM-Series can play voice prompts in different languages. In
addition, Automated Attendant callers may be able to dial a code to
switch to the language of their choice. Ask your System Administrator
for more on this feature.

Using Touch Tone and Rotary Dial Phones
To fully use the Automated Attendant and Voice Mail features from
outside the company, you must call NVM-Series using a Touch Tone
phone. If you call NVM-Series using a rotary dial phone, you must
wait on the line when the Automated Attendant answers. After a short
wait, NVM-Series may connect you to a company operator or give
you an opportunity to leave a message; it depends on how the system
is programmed.

Calling Your Subscriber Mailbox
Calling your Subscriber mailbox gives you access to the NVM-Series
Main Menu. The Main Menu lets you listen to your messages and use
other Voice Mail (VM) features. When you call your mailbox, NVM-
Series does the following:
■Plays the Broadcast Message (if your SystemAdministrator recorded one).
■Tells you how many messages you have.
■Plays a "mini" Main Menu of features, then: Ready. Or, it just
plays, Ready if the mini menu is off (see page 54).
In addition, if your mailbox is almost full or full, NVM-Series lets you
know and asks you to erase some messages.
As soon as NVM-Series says something, you can press the code (s)
for the feature you want to use. You do not have to wait for: Ready.

AGuest Mailbox is a mailbox that your System Administrator can
reserve for an outside party you know, perhaps a vendor you frequent-
ly do business with. You can record messages for the Guest Mailbox,
and the Guest can retrieve them through the Automated Attendant or
through an extension inside your company.
Your System Administrator can program a Guest Mailbox in one of
two ways: with access to all features in this guide or with access to all
features except: record and send a message (page 37) and forward a
message (page 29).

Calling a Message Center Mailbox
Your System Administrator usually sets up a Message Center Mailbox
for callers who dial the Automated Attendant from a rotary dial phone.
A Message Center Mailbox is a "catch-all" type of mailbox that lets
rotary dial callers leave a message without dialing any codes. At some
point in the day, someone in your company must call the Message
Center Mailbox to listen to the messages and forward them to the
appropriate mailboxes (see Listening to Messages and Using the
Listening Options).
There are five features in this guide not available (or not applicable) to
a Message Center Mailbox: record and send a message (by pressing
RS), record a reply (by pressing RE), record a Mailbox Greeting (by
pressing G), record a Future Delivery Message (by pressing FD) and
forwarding calls to your mailbox.
For a description of what NVM-Series plays when you call a Message
Center Mailbox, see page 6. (NVM-Series plays the same prompts that
it plays for a Subscriber Mailbox.)
If the Message key or lamp is flashing, this
means there are messages in the mailbox
(See How You Know You Have Messages on
page 25.)

explained in the User's Guide except:
■Record and Send a Message (RS)
■Record a Paging Message (PG)
■Message Notification (OP N)
■Call Waiting (OP CW), Call Announcing (OP CA)
■Call Queuing
If anyone is going to log onto a Network Mailbox, it will probably be
the remote Alias Mailbox user. Perhaps the person is visiting your
company and wants to check their messages without calling their own
mailbox at their company.

NVM-Series can handle your incoming callers in a variety of ways.
About Call Announcing
With Call Announcing, the Automated Attendant can let you know who
is calling. For more information, see Using the Call Announcing Option
on page 58.
About Call Queuing
With Call Queuing, NVM-Series lets your Automated Attendant callers
queue ("wait in line") for your extension when you are busy on a call.
It works like this:
■When you are busy on a call, NVM-Series says this to an incoming caller:
●
Extension X X X (or your recorded name) is busy. To leave a
message, press 1. To wait for the extension to become available,
press 2. For other options, press 3.
■If the caller presses 2, NVM-Series queues the caller.
■When you hang up your call, NVM-Series puts the first waiting
call through.
■Callers choosing to abandon the wait have these options: they can
leave you a message, return to the Automated Attendant, or hang up.
If you would like your Automated Attendant callers to have this
queuing option, see your System Administrator.
Notes: (1) NVM-Series will not queue callers if the required number of
idle Voice Mail ports is not available. NVM-Series activates
Call Waiting instead, if Call Waiting is on (see also page 57).
(2) NVM-Series will not activate Call Queuing if your Mailbox
Greeting or Paging Message is on.
(3) Call Queuing does not apply to callers who dial your direct
line while it is forwarded to your mailbox.
About Your Incoming Call Options
17
17600sug02_34.qxd 2/11/98 2:58 PM Page 17

About Call Waiting
With Call Waiting, NVM-Series lets Automated Attendant callers send
a signal (beeps) to your extension while you are busy on a call. For
more information, see Using the Call Waiting Option.
About the Paging Message
If you record a Paging Message, NVM-Series uses it to page you
when a caller tries to reach you. NVM-Series first parks the caller at
your extension, then plays your Paging Message over a page zone in
your phone system. You can pick up the parked call from any exten-
sion by dialing the Personal Park Orbit code for your extension (which
is usually: ❋, then your extension number). A Paging Message is very
useful if you are frequently away from your desk.
NVM-Series will park and page for two types of callers: Automated
Attendant callers and callers who dial your direct line while it is for-
warded to your mailbox using code 1. Code 1 forwards unanswered
ringing calls (see Forwarding Calls to Your Mailbox).
NVM-Series handles callers one way if your Paging Message is on
and another way if it is off. More specifically:
■If your Paging Message is on, Automated Attendant calls will not
ring your phone. NVM-Series immediately parks the caller at your
extension and pages you. (This does not apply to direct line callers.
Only the "off" option applies.)
■If your Paging Message is off, an Automated Attendant call or a
direct line call rings your extension as usual. If you do not answer
after a certain number of rings, NVM-Series gives the caller the
paging option. The caller hears:
●
To leave a message, press 1. To have the person paged, press 2.
For other options press 3.
The caller can press 1 to leave a message, 2 to park and page, or 3
to reroute their call. Automated Attendant callers who press 3 return
to the Automated Attendant. Direct line callers who press 3 can be
rerouted whichever way you choose. It depends on how you Next
Call Routing Mailbox is programmed. (See the System Administrator.)
About Your Incoming Call Options
18
17600sug02_34.qxd 2/11/98 2:58 PM Page 18

About the Paging Message (cont'd)
■The Paging Message itself is simply a message you record to page
yourself. For example, John Smith should record a Paging Message
something like this:
●
John Smith. You have a call parked at your extension.
NVM-Series is initially set up to page the All Call Page Zone. To have
NVM-Series page a different zone, see your System Administrator.
Notes: (1) If Auto Attendant Do Not Disturb is on, NVM-Series will not
page you. For information on AutoAttendant Do Not Disturb,
see Recording a Mailbox Greeting.
(2) If you do not want NVM-Series to page you, be sure to erase
your Paging Message.
1. Call your mailbox (see page 6).
2. Press PG (74).
3. Follow the voice prompts.
