1 Introduction
By covering voice processing requirements, the Alcatel 4610 IV helps the
customers of small and medium enterprises to get out more of their
business - especially with regard to the areas "Greeting", and "MobilĆ
ity". These specific solutions are called applications. The following geĆ
neric applications are available:
• Voice mail / Voice Messaging
• Automated Attendant
• Infobox / Audiotex
The Alcatel 4610 IV provides in Alcatel Office PBXs for hotel applications
an integrated voice messaging solution for guests and staff of hotels and
related markets.
The intended audience of this manual are people in charge of the adĆ
ministration of the Alcatel 4610 IV.
This manual describes the procedures and commands to customize your
specific configuration to the needs of your organization and to keep the
'voice image' of your company always up to date.
As more technical details might be interesting for the administrator than
for the mailbox user, this manual contains additional information in
relation to voice mail and voice messaging as well as 'technical details'
about functions (see clause 1.2 "The presentation principle").
1.1 How to Use the Manual
It is presumed that the Alcatel 4610 IV is installed and the basic configuĆ
ration is done by authorized maintenance staff.
All chapters which refer to the handling and configuration of the Alcatel
4610 IV are structured according to the tasks to be done either by the
user or the system administrator such as creation or modification of a
mailbox, the Automated Attendant or an Infobox.
By using the table of contents you can quickly locate any feature or conĆ
figuration parameter you want. For more complex parameters you can
find a practical example.

1.3 The System Administrator
To be system administrator is a very responsible task. A high percentage
of good acceptance of the system by the customer as well as by your
own organization lies in your hands. Here are some hints to give you a
good start:
Voice Mail and Voice Messaging:
• When the system was set into operation the first time:
Standard Mailbox
- Make sure that all users have their user guide available.
- Organize a common user training. Users feel more comfortĆ
able in using their mailboxes during their daily business, when
they understand the principles.
Point out the benefits how voice messaging can ease commuĆ
nication.
- Demonstrate the functionality and how to access the mailbox
from intern your company and from outside.
- Explain how they can form their greeting. Give them examples,
some are listed in the box below.
Examples:
'Hello! This is the mailbox of .... (name). I am out of my
office until ........ o'clock, inspecting our construction sites.
Please leave me a personal message. I'll return your call
within 4 hours. If you need assistance, press 0 now.'
'Hello, you have reached the personal mailbox of .... (name).
Today you can reach me again in the office at ... o'clock. In
urgent cases you can reach me at .... (telephone number). Also
my colleague .... (name) at extension ......... (extension number)
will be happy to help you. If you prefer to leave me a
message, please do so now'.
9
Technical details:
Plug and Phone functionality, available in Alcatel Office release 320A,
creates automatically standard mailbox for each installed subscriber
set. Therefore, the mailbox owner has just to enter a password and to
record his name to setup his mailbox . See clause 3.5 (page 69) and
page 104.
- Explain how the diversion to the mailbox can be activated/
deactivated. Ask users not to 'hide' behind their mailbox, when
they are in their office the diversion has to be deactivated and
calls answered personally.
- Tell them to consult their mailbox, immediately when the 'mesĆ
sage waiting' indication becomes switched on and to answer
the messages. People will appreciate their fast response.
If you are out of the office: Use notification respectively check
for voice message twice a day.
- Remember users to delete unused and archived messages after
a while.
- Offer general information using the broadcast option.
- Give support in creating distribution lists.
- Let your customers know about your voice mail system.
- Explain how a secretary can transfer a call in someone else's
mailbox.
- When a 'common' mailbox is assigned make sure that a reĆ
sponsible person consults this mailbox frequently.
- Disable call diversion to a mailbox for services that must be
reached (operator, medical care, security services,
fire brigade ... ).
Guest Mailbox
- Explain how to enter the personal password and that it is only
necessary for external consultation of the guest mailbox.
- If the guest mailbox is used in a hotel environment make sure
that the receptionist informs the guest that he has a personal
voice mailbox allocated to his room telephone.
10
- If the Alcatel 4610 IV is integrated in an Alcatel Office PBX reĆ
lease 320A for hotel applications the mailbox password and
the language of the voice guidance is allocated during checkĆ
in procedure. If the language is not persistent the 'Primary LanĆ
guage' is taken as default.
The mailbox number is identical to his room telephoneĆnumĆ
ber. A password is necessary for direct outward dialling as well
as for consultation of his mailbox from outside his room.
If the guest is checkedĆout his mailbox is deleted immediately
except messages are still in his mailbox. In this case the mailĆ
box stays available for consultation at least one hour after
checkĆout.
• When you install a mailbox for a new user
- Make sure that the user manual is available.
- Make a short user training covering the same points as in secĆ
tion 'When the system was set into operation the first time'.
• Monitoring the application
- Check statistics regularly to control the acceptance by the cusĆ
tomers and propose improvements to your management.
- Check statistics regularly to detect problems (e.g. users who do
not listen to messages or who do not delete old messages).
Automated Attendant and Infoboxes/Audiotex:
• Designing the application
- Make sure people can always reach a person (operator) and
never will get the impression of being trapped in the system.
- Consider callers with rotary phones, not being able to send
DTMF-digits. After a short time-out within the main menu the
Alcatel 4610 IV should transfer the call to the operator or a
free agent. A voice prompt informs the caller of the transfer in
progress.
- Keep the structure of your Automated Attendant as simple as
possible. A menu should not exceed more than 4 options.
11
- Record the menus of your application with a friendly and welĆ
coming voice. In order to ensure best results of voice quality
never use hands-free during recording of voice prompts.
People will remind the menu option better, when it starts with
the service first and the appropriated key at the end of the opĆ
tion.
Example: '...for the order department, press <2>.'
- Promote also internal information services like: training departĆ
ment, medical service, pension fund, etc.

bold. This should make it easier for you to remember when you listen
to the spoken menus.
What is an 'Automated Attendant'?
The 'Automated Attendant' welcomes the caller with the 'company
greeting' and 'transfers' the caller dependent on his choice to the apĆ
propriate destination. To establish this, all possible choices offered to
the caller are proposed in a spoken 'main menu' and/or 'submenus'.
The Automated Attendant can be customised to the individual requireĆ
ments of your company therefore the proposed choices can be different
during 'opening hours' and 'closing hours' of your company. This
results in two completely independent Automated Attendants. The
switching between 'opening hours menu' and a 'closing hours
menu' is done either manually by the administrator or automatically
following a pre-programmed 'schedule' which is defined in the
'opening hours'.
'Multi-lingual' Automated Attendant: As option the language of
guidance can be selected by the caller.
More details?
To give you more details we will follow a caller on his way through the
Automated Attendant. When a caller reaches the Automated Attendant
he will hear the 'company greeting' first. Then he is asked to press the
star key (the 'press star question' is an optional function) to check
whether he is using a dual touch-tone telephone. After pressing the
star key the caller has the choice to select his preferred language for
guidance (the 'select language question' is optional and depends on
the number of installed languages).
The caller reaches now the 'main menu' of the Automated Attendant
where specific 'functions' are assigned to the digit keys of the teleĆ
phone key pad. He can select one of this proposed functions while he is
guided by a recorded 'main menu' announcement.
If configured, the caller can reach one of several submenus. This seĆ
cond level of the Automated Attendant allows optimum coherence to
the subscriber's organisation.

Transfer to Trunk
'Transfer to trunk' respectively 'Trunk to trunk connection' via the AutoĆ
mated Attendant can be made using the function 'Free dialling' or
'Transfer to predefined extension' in combination with the PBX feature
abbreviated dialling.
Due to the fact that the Alcatel 4610 IV supports only a maximum of
4Ćdigits dialling the external number must be defined as abbreviated
dialling code in the Alcatel Office PBX.
Also the FAX-Switch can route an incoming FAX message to an exterĆ
nal FAX machine. Transfer to an external FAX machine is always done
on blind transfer function.
!
All kinds of transfer (blind, semi-supervised, supervised)
are possible but use of semi-supervised or supervised
transfer is only recommended when the network sends
ISDN information like alert and connect. Otherwise the
call fails.

Hints for recording the main menu
It is recommended to consider the sequence of the proposed choices of
the announcement. Put probably most frequently used choices on the
beginning.
Build the sentences so that the key which need to be pressed is menĆ
tioned at the end. Write down the text and check if the text is clear for
the caller. Do not announce too many options.
What improves the quality of the recording?
- Make sure that the room in which you are recording has no echoes.
- Use the same distance to the handset for all recording sessions.
- Make sure to avoid any extraneous noise such as paper shuffling or
breathing.

- User (i.e. person in charge of system administration at
customer's site)
- Maintenance staff (i.e. Alcatel or distributor technician) to gather
information on load situation and characteristics of usage.
Based on this information conclusions regarding
- The degree of customer/user service and
- Required modifications of the current Alcatel 4610 IV applications
can be done.
Access to all statistical data is given via the voice guided administration
menu.
Statistic counters are based on 2 time periods:
Period for characteristics of usage (described in 'Mailbox-Statistics',
'Infobox-Statistics' and 'Automated Attendant-Statistics') are
calculated based on the time between the last reset of statistical
counters and the current time. In this way, any time frame (e.g. one
weekend, 3½ weeks, 2 months, duration of a specific advertising
campaign, etc.) can be the base for the calculation.
Period for load situation (described in 'System Utilisation-Statistics')
is available for the last week. The time period covers 24 hours on the
last 7 days
i.e. 168 time slices until the last completed hour. The
counters are updated automatically as the time period shifts continu-
ously. In this way, a complete overview on the system utilisation of the
last week is given. If the statistic counters have been reset within the
last week, the information is available since this reset.
85
This option provides to gather the following statistic information:
Characteristics of usage:
- Mailbox-Statistics
- Automated Attendant-Statistics
- Infobox-Statistics
Load situation:
- System Utilisation-Statistics
- Largest Mailboxes-Statistics
and to

To have an overview on the current system load, each full hour a check
of free voice memory is done and the total seizure duration is counted:
- Free memory: free voice memory in the system measured in
minutes within the specific hour.
- Seizure duration: Mean value of seizure duration of the access
lines to the Alcatel 4610 IV as percentage of the maximum posĆ
sible seizure within the specific hour.
Example:
- Seizure duration for access line 1: 24 minutes
- Seizure duration for access line 2: 12 minutes
Total seizure duration is 36 minutes of the maximum possible
duration of 120 minutes (60 minutes per access): 30% seizure
duration.
The information on the load situation is available for the last week.
Technical details:
Seizure duration includes notification calls, message waiting LED
update. Free memory is stored in 'minutes' and the seizure duraĆ
tion in 'percent'. The statistics history starts at the last system or
counter reset (whatever was later). The maximum period covered
by the history is 168 (7x24) hours.
Note: The first hour may be incomplete.

4 Voice Mail Functions
The Alcatel 4610 IV provides different mailbox modes
- standard mode
- guest mode
- answer only mode
and two areas of voice communication
- voice mail and
- voice messaging.
Standard mode mailbox
This mode provides a standard set of functions.
Guest mode mailbox
This mode provides a basic set of functions. These are to record mesĆ
sages for the guest and play them one by one when he consults his
mailbox. A password is only necessary when the guest consults from reĆ
mote.
Answer only mailbox
This mode provides an announcement i.e the personal greeting of the
mailbox owner to the caller but do not record messages.
Voice mail
The voice mail functionality can help you to keep in touch with your cusĆ
tomer, even when you are not in your office. He can leave you a mesĆ
sage. Privacy is guaranteed because only the mailbox owner can consult
his mailbox.
The greeting, which is played to the caller can be recorded and changed
by the owner himself and can therefore give additional informations to
the caller.
Voice messaging
The voice messaging functionality offers a new dimension of internal
communication. Communication of teams is supported by the option of
sending a copy of a message to other team members. Distribution lists
allow fast transfer of voice information to several team members at
once.
96
New messages are indicated at your telephone and - if you like - via a
notification call at any predefined internal or external telephone/pager.
Both functionalities are based on mailboxes. The Alcatel 4610 IV supĆ
ports up to 128 mailboxes. Each mailbox can be tailored according to
individual requirements of the owner and greet the callers and record
messages. The Alcatel 4610 IV provides a wide range of options which
are described briefly in the chapter 'helpful terms'.
