Welcome
INTUITYTM Voice/FAX Messaging is a powerful call answer, voice mail, and fax-
message system. Besides sending and receiving voice mail, you can send,
receive, forward, and voice annotate faxes.
Call Answering
INTUITY Voice/FAX Messaging answers calls when you are unavailable or too
busy to answer your telephone. Callers may then leave messages in your
voice “mailbox.” Later, you can access your mailbox to get those messages.
Voice Mail
INTUITY Voice/FAX Messaging lets you record voice and voice-fax messages in
advance and send them directly to the mailboxes of other system users without
actually calling their telephones.
Conversely, other users can record and send voice mail messages and voice-
fax messages directly to your mailbox. When convenient, you can access your
mailbox to get those messages.
FAX Messaging
INTUITY Voice/FAX Messaging lets you send, receive, and voice annotate faxes.
You can forward, voice annotate, and re-send received faxes; or direct faxes to
printers, PCs, or LAN fax servers.
You can send or forward a fax to any address within your system (and append
a voice message to the fax if you choose); or you may elect to send or forward
only a fax to an address outside your system. You can send or forward faxes
to internal extensions, by using system mailing lists, and/or to external
numbers, by addressing your fax messages individually.

Intuity Advantages
INTUITY Voice/FAX Messaging provides four key voice and fax advantages:
Mobility
You can access your voice, fax, and voice-fax
messages from anywhere.
You can retrieve a fax from your mailbox and have it
printed anywhere a fax machine is available.
With compatible fax software and a modem, you can
access and download faxes to a PC or laptop
computer for later use.
Convenience
You can retrieve your voice, fax, and voice-fax
messages from your desktop, from your home office,
from anywhere in the country, or from across the world.
You can also retrieve your voice, fax, and voice-fax
messages any time you want.
Privacy
You control when and where a voice or fax message is
retrieved, and where a fax is printed, so you can be
sure that it ends up in your hands only.
Security
Only you can retrieve your voice, fax, and voice-fax
messages using your password-protected login to
access your mailbox.
Voice Prompts and Help
INTUITY Voice/FAX Messaging voice prompts tell you what to do at every step in
a task. Once you have selected the appropriate Activity Menu option, you can
rely solely on the voice prompts to figure out what to do.
H

Terms and Concepts
Activity Menu
After you log into the system, you have six principal keypad activities,
represented by the Activity Menu graphic below. As you press keys in the
Activity Menu to access the principal functions, you move to different menu
levels and the keys change meaning.
Address
A telephone number (usually an extension) or a name specified for an outgoing
voice, fax, or voice-fax message (equivalent to an address on a letter).
3
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
Address Before Record (ABR)
A user-selected option (on/off) that defines whether a message is addressed
before it is created, or created before it is addressed.
Autodelete
A user-selected option (on/off) that defines whether the system automatically
removes faxes from the mailbox as they are printed.
Autoprint
A user-selected option (on/off) that defines whether the system automatically
sends faxes to a designated fax printer.
Header
A summary of an incoming voice, fax, or voice-fax message (equivalent to a
return address and postmark on a letter). It includes the length of the message
in minutes and/or seconds, and a page count for fax messages. The three
header types are:
Voice message
“Message from Norman Bates, received 7:34 AM, Friday, April seventh, 70
seconds, extension 77956.”
Fax message
“Fax call from extension 40668, received 1:22 PM, Thursday, August third, 4
pages.”
Voice-fax message
“Voice and fax message from Eileen Dover, received 3:16 PM, Monday,
December twelfth, 45 seconds, 3 pages, extension 75433.”

Mailbox
Your personal storage area for incoming and outgoing voice, fax, or voice-fax
messages and headers.
Your incoming and outgoing voice, fax, or voice-fax messages are stored in
categories according to their status. The system keeps incoming messages
until you delete them or until an automatic deletion date. Because space is
limited, it is wise to review and delete messages regularly.

New
Fax, voice, or voice-fax messages you haven’t
retrieved.
Unopened
Fax, voice, or voice-fax message headers to
which you've listened, but have not yet listened
to the message itself.
Old
Fax, voice, or voice-fax messages to which
you've listened or printed, but haven’t deleted.
Outgoing Messages (sent by you)
Accessed
Fax, voice, or voice-fax messages delivered and
listened to by the recipient.
Undelivered
Fax, voice, or voice-fax messages not yet sent but
scheduled for future delivery. You can listen to, re-
address, and re-record these messages any time
before delivery.
Undeliverable
Fax, voice, or voice-fax messages that could not be
delivered, normally because the intended recipient's
mailbox is full. You can listen to, re-address, and re-
record these messages.
Filed
Copies of outgoing fax, voice, or voice-fax messages
that you’ve saved to re-send and/or modify.
Personal Fax Extension
If you receive frequent faxes, or use your telephone extensively, your system
administrator may set up a second fax-only extension, your personal fax
extension.
A personal fax extension has these characteristics:
■
It stores faxes only.
■
It doesn’t accept voice messages.
6
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
■
The system sends faxes and the fax portion of voice-fax messages to
this extension automatically. Fax headers are stored in your primary
mailbox.
■
■
■
■
Fax-only messages addressed to your fax extension do not ring your
telephone.
Fax-only messages addressed to your fax extension do trigger your
message light.
Activity Menu access to your personal fax extension and your personal
mailbox extension is the same—the system does not separate them.
You cannot create a greeting for your personal fax extension; it is set by
the system. Example: “Fax extension for (your name). Press START on
your fax machine now.”
NOTE:
If you do not have a personal fax extension, you have a single
number for both voice and fax messages. Because of the system
memory demands of fax messaging, you are urged to act on fax,
voice, or voice-fax messages immediately to clear them from your
mailbox. Your system administrator establishes your mailbox
memory size.

compose a greeting that tells callers when call answer is disabled
and, if you wish, other options for reaching you.
How to Log In
Your system administrator establishes your extension or telephone number and
a default password for login and assigns a system mailbox-access number,

Composing a Single Voice-fax Extension
Greeting
Fax messaging is a new capability and many callers will be unfamiliar with it at
first. Callers will find it helpful if you record a greeting that briefly instructs them
about your fax messaging.
Explain how to transmit a fax:
“This is Richard Hyatt at Gobels & Nixon. I’m away from my desk; please
leave a message at the tone. If you want to include a fax with your
message, press START on your fax machine when you finish speaking. If
you want to send only a fax, press START on your fax machine now.”
Composing a Greeting If You Have a
Personal Fax Extension
While it is a true mailbox, a personal fax extension also acts as a storage site to
reduce the memory limits of a single voice-fax extension for users who receive
many faxes.
Callers cannot address voice messages to your personal fax extension.
■
■
■
■
■
A personal fax extension stores faxes only. If you have a personal fax
extension, the system automatically sends faxes to this extension.
Fax messages addressed to your fax extension do not ring your
telephone.
Fax messages addressed to your fax extension do trigger your
message light.
Like voice-mail headers and voice messages, fax headers addressed to
your personal fax extension are stored in your primary mailbox.
In the case of a voice-fax message, a caller must address the message
(both fax and voice) to your primary mailbox.
13
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
If you have a personal fax extension, you may want to list your extension on
your business card or company stationery and/or instruct callers to send faxes
to your fax-only number.
Instructional greeting if you have a personal fax extension:
“This is Diane Downer at the Commander Heater Company. I’m unable
to take your call; please leave a message at the tone. If you want to send
me a fax, please call my fax number at 332-3626.”
How to Record and Send
Messages
Sending faxes and creating and sending voice and voice-fax messages are
from the fax machine from which you wish to transmit.
You can record a voice message and attach it to a fax in two ways:
■
From the system fax machine from which you wish to transmit.
■
From any telephone from which you can access your mailbox. See
“Sharing Fax Machines.”
NOTE:
Advanced fax users will quickly note that a fax can be transmitted in the
manual send mode from a modem-enabled PC running compatible
facsimile software. To do so, a user should follow the conventions set
forth in the fax software user instructions. It is strongly recommended
that users address software concerns with system administration before
attempting to transmit a fax from a PC.

Setting Addressing Options
Before moving into the “Creating a Message” category, it is necessary to
determine whether messages will be recorded first or addressed first.
The options are address before record (ABR) on or address before record off.
Once set, addressing can be left in the selected option with no further action
by the user, or modified according to individual requirements.
NOTE:
In fax-messaging mode, the system uses your active phone line to send
the fax, then hangs up when transmission is complete. Thus, you must
address a fax before you send it. It is recommended that you elect ABR
on.
To change the ABR setting:
5
1. Press
(Personal Mailbox Options) from the Activity Menu.

2. Press . You hear the prompt, “Address before record turned on”
(or “off”).

Sharing Fax Machines
If you use a shared or public fax machine (such as a departmental fax), you
may wish to avoid tying it up while you transmit to multiple addresses.
You may want to store a fax for later use, or it may simply be more efficient to
send a fax from your own desk, particularly if you want to attach a private voice
message to your fax.
In any case, you can send a fax and/or fax message to your own mailbox (or a
fax-only message to your personal fax extension) by keying your extension as
the delivery address. Later, you can access the fax and change the delivery
options and/or voice-fax message from the Activity Menu.

NOTE:
If you have a personal fax extension, you receive only voice messages
and fax message headers through your telephone set. Faxes go directly
into your personal fax extension without ringing your telephone.
Fax headers do trigger your message light. The header may give you a
length of time in seconds. This is the length of the message. The header
also gives you the fax page count.

method. Autoscan is most useful for mobile telephone users, because it

How to Create and Use Multiple
Personal Greetings
After you have recorded several personal greetings, you may want to assign
those greetings to specific types of incoming calls. Besides the basic mode of
using one greeting for all calls, you can set up specific greetings for:
■
1) internal and 2) external calls
1) busy and 2) no answer calls
■
