Configurable
Operators
The Configurable Operators feature gives a caller who is directed to voice
mail the option of going to another destination.
You can configure your own operators for those who call your extension
(if the administrator allows it), and you can also use this feature as a caller
to another device.
How Configurable
Operators Work
Following is a brief description of how the system directs a caller from
your voice mail to operators that you designate:
1
If you do not answer a call, the system invokes your voice mail.
2
The caller listens to your prerecorded voice mail message, which includes
the instruction to press an access digit (
0
or
9
) in order to reach the
appropriate operator.
When you employ a configurable operator, you must re-record your
personal voice mail greeting to tell callers that an operator is available to
them if they press the appropriate access digit during the voice mail
greeting.
3
The caller presses
0
or
9
.
4
The call is redirected to the operator that you designated.
The caller can leave a message, and then press
0
or
9
to transfer to a
configured operator.
Configuring the
Operators
You can view the operators’ settings, and modify those settings if your
administrator allows it.
The operator’s call-handling rules (such as call coverage) may apply to the
voice mail caller. Also, you must have external-to-external permissions in
order for transfers to external phone numbers to complete successfully.
If you or the administrator do not configure operator destinations, the
system directs an operator-bound caller to extension 501.
Viewing Your Operator Permissions
To find out if you have permission to configure operators:
1
Log on to
NetSet > User Information
>
Call Permissions
.
Your current permissions to configure the System Operator and the
Personal Operator appear in the
User Information
window.
