1.1 Overview
The Alcatel 4645 voice mail system (or e-VA for e-Business Voice Application) has beendeveloped for integration in telephone systems running in an IP environment.
The Alcatel 4645 voice mail system is a multi-service voice application that primarily offers avoice mail service. This voice mail service offers the following features:
- Voice mail features allowing:• Callers to leave a message in a user's voice mail box when the user is busy or absent.
Users miss no calls, and their mailboxes can store up to 50 messages (depending onconfiguration).
• The owner of a mailbox to send messages to other users
- Automated Attendant (automatic switchboard), providing all features allowing the voicemail system to act like an attendant: answer incoming calls, transfer them to the requestednumber and present general company information.
- Information messages, that enable a series of messages giving company information(opening times, description of departments [marketing], etc.) to be played to callers.Implementing this type of service involves configuring specific Automated Attendantparameter settings.
- Ubiquity, enabling a caller to select various options (offered by an Ubiquity assistant)when they cannot reach the requested user. The Ubiquity assistant is created byconfiguring specific Automated Attendant parameter settings.
From R5.1, the following additional services are included in the voice mail service:
- The IMAP service, that allows a mailbox owner to consult voice mail from a remote PC(e-mail client) connected via the IP network.
- The VPIM service, allowing several voice mail systems to be networked over the IPnetwork.
From R6.0, the Alcatel 4645 Starter Pack is available. Designed for stand-alone mid-marketsites, the 4645 Starter Pack is a reduced 4645 with the following characteristics:
- The 4645 is not on a separate CPU
- Applicable to 80, 150, and 250 Alcatel-Lucent OmniPCX Enterprise Communication Serverengines only
- No Alcatel-Lucent OmniPCX Enterprise CS redundancy
- No Networking
- Limited to 30 users
- Limited to two hours storage
The 4645 Starter Pack does not permit the following upgrades:
- Capacity
- Number of languages
- To the Networking Value Pack
1-1
- To My Messaging
Chapter 1
1-2
2.1 Architecture
The 4645 voice mail system can operate on either:
- The same physical support as the Call Server: CS board or Appliance Server
- A dedicated server: CS board or Appliance Server
Note 1:
The CS board is inserted into an OmniPCX Enterprise and is composed of an XMEM daughter-board and
a hard disk.
In duplicated configurations and if it is located on the same physical support as one of the twoCall Servers, the 4645 voice mail service continues to run, whether the Call Server is in mainor backup mode.
Important:
The voice mail service cannot be duplicated (one voice mail service per system only). However,
voice mail data can be backed up (with or without mailbox messages) in a specific directory using
the swinst tool.
A single 4645 voice mail system can handle all the sets of an Alcatel-Lucent OmniPCXEnterprise CS. These sets can be connected behind an OmniPCX Media Gateway or an ACTMedia Gateway.
The 4645 voice mail system can provide a centralized voice mail service on a private networkand be part of a distributed voice mail system.
The 4645 voice mail uses the IP network for transfer of voice flows. It only processesG711-coded voice flows. If the other end of the voice flow cannot use this coding, compressionresources (INT-IP or GD MCV) are used to convert flows.
If the 4645 voice mail system is embedded on:
- The same physical support as the Call Server (main or backup), it has the IP address ofthe support Call Server.
- A dedicated server, it has its own IP address.
Note 2:
This IP address is required by system management when the voice mail service is created. It is mandat-
ory whatever the system configuration used. In a duplicated configuration, it is used to designate on
which CPU (local or twin) the voice mail service is to run.

2.2 Alcatel 4645 voice mail characteristics
The 4645 voice mail system differs from previous voice mail systems in that:
- The PC-MMC previously used for configuration has been suppressed and replaced bymanagement fully integrated with PCX management.
Chapter 2
2-2
- Messages and voice guides are stored on the hard drive.
For further information on specific 4645 voice mail system features, refer to the modules listedbelow.
- For voice mail services, refer to the module Alcatel-Lucent 4645 VMS - Voice Mail .
- For information on the automated attendant, refer to the module Alcatel-Lucent 4645 VMS- Automated Attendant .
- For information on Ubiquity, refer to the module module Alcatel-Lucent 4645 VMS -Ubiquity .
2.3 Capacities and limits
The number of ports and hard drive capacity are not subject to a lock, and the number ofmailboxes is configured by each Call Server.
To allow supplementary services that require several mailboxes for each subscriber, such asUbiquity or Automated Attendant (AA), up to one thousand mailboxes can be created.
These mailboxes can be of the following types:
- Standard voice mailbox
- Guest voice mailbox
- Automated Attendant entry (AA entry)
- Automated Attendant menu (AA menu), that specifies actions corresponding to menuoptions that the caller selects by pressing a key on the set keypad.
- System distribution List (SDL), that can contain up to fifty members (standard or guestmailboxes).
Note:There is no personal distribution list.
For each mailbox, the following parameters can be configured:
- The maximum duration of message recording
- The maximum number of messages allowed in the mailbox
- The maximum duration of the greeting message
Eight languages are offered for a system, but only one is offered free with the standardversion. The seven other languages are dependent on an ACTIS lock.
The numbering plan can comprise three to eight digits.
An audiomaster feature enables the various greeting messages to be customized (forexample, the company greeting message, the automated attendant menu).
The Ubiquity feature is controlled by an ACTIS lock. The number of Ubiquity users can beincreased using ACTIS locks.
The VPIM and IMAP services are loaded and controlled by an ACTIS lock.

3.1 Main voice mail services
Voice mail services are used:
- To create standard or guest type voice mailboxes.
- To enable a voice mailbox to be accessed without a secret code via the Skip secret codefeature (this is the default programming for access to a hotel type mailbox).To enable a variable length secret code of 3 to 8 digits.
- To transfer the caller to the Automated Attendant if there is no mailbox.
- For messages: to hear all, hear date and time, listen again (repeat), move back, moveforward, identify start and end, save, skip, forward a copy with an introduction, call sender,answer (reply), pause, continue, cancel
- To record, pause, and continue to record a message.
- To enable Classes of Services to be customized for standard and hotel voice mailboxes.
- To send a message and acknowledge receipt.
- To provide user help, by configuring the dynamic function keys displayed on a UA set.
- To customize voice mailboxes with the following choices: three greeting messages,notification, extension to absence mode, System Distribution Lists, the Ubiquity feature,outgoing call notification.
- For two types of notification time management: one for standard messages and the otherfor urgent messages.
- For automatic implementation of direct calls to the voice mailbox.
- For the hotel service : check-in, check-out, and wake-up.
- For multi-language guidance.
- For access to the Automated Attendant from the main menu.
- For on-line call recording.
3.2 Voice mailbox characteristics
A user who owns a standard voice mailbox can use the voice mail system to send messagesto other users without calling them directly. When a message has been created, a wide rangeof processing capabilities are offered, both in voice mail and "answering machine" modes. Bycalling a voice mailbox, the user can:
- Send messages
- Listen to messages
- Save messages
- Answer messages
- Call the sender of the message
- Send a copy of a message to other users
3-1
- Delete messages
Visual guidance, in addition to guidance by voice guides, is provided on sets equipped withdynamic keys and a display.
Messages that reach the expiration date are automatically deleted without the user beingnotified.
3.2.1 Calling the voice mailbox
Calls are made:
- By dialing the prefix and/or directory number of the voice mail service (internal or external)or by using the message key.
- Automatically at offhook (after a set time), when a new message has arrived.
3.2.2 Accessing a standard voice mailbox for the first time
At first access, users must change the original secret code and register their name.
3.2.3 Visual guidance
Visual guidance is available on sets equipped with a display, whether or not there are dynamickeys. Sets with a display only (without dynamic keys) show message envelope data.
3.2.4 Notification
Users are notified of new messages in one of two ways:
- On the user set by either a flashing LED, an icon display, or a voice guide announcement.
- If notification forwarding is enabled, users can either call a forwarding number (internal orexternal) and a voice message is played which informs them of new messages, or theycan call a pager service, followed by their pager number.
3.2.5 Consulting voice mail
This paragraph describes the features available to users when consulting their messages. Forspecific information on implementation, refer to themodule Alcatel-Lucent 4645 VMS -Personal notes (reminder) - Operating diagram.
The 4645 voice mail-specific Skip password feature allows users to access their voice mail bydirect call without having to enter a secret code. This function is enabled by default for hotelmailboxes.
The Auto-play feature, configured in the user's COS (Class Of Services) profile, allows (whileaccessing the mailbox) messages to be listened to automatically without using the main menuvoice guide. The user hears new messages first, then saved messages.
Messages can also be consulted in the main menu of the owner mailbox. Depending on theuser's choice, unread and saved messages or only unread messages are played.
While listening to a message, the user can:
- Return to the start of the message
Chapter 3
3-2
- Move ten seconds back
- Pause and then continue to listen
- Move ten seconds forward
- Go to the end of the message
- Stop listening and return to the main menu
- Skip a message and go to the next one.
At the end of a message, the user can:
- Hear the entire message again
- Delete or save the message
- Send a copy of the message with an introduction
- Reply to the sender
- Users also hear the date and time at which messages were sent.
The 4645 voice mail also allows immediate call back to the sender via the main menu. This isfollowed by the Options while listening feature. This feature, which is a supervised transfer,informs users of transfer status and allows them to return to the menu if the set called is busyor there is no answer.
3.2.6 Sending messages
Message processing comprises recording followed by addressing. Silences at the start andend of the message are automatically deleted. While recording a message, the user can usethe pause, continue recording, delete, re-record, and end commands. With 4645 voice mail itis not necessary to confirm recording and, during recording, the user can exit the session toreturn to the main menu.The message is sent by dialing the destination number or by spelling the recipient's name. Fora call made using "Call by name", the user is guided by voice guides.4645 voice mail allows access to System Distribution Lists, if the corresponding right has beengranted by the administrator in the user's COS profile.Before sending the message the user must confirm or modify the destination or delete it andenter a new one.4645 voice mail allows messages marked Urgent to be sent. This allows the recipient toconsult them before consulting regular messages. In addition, the notification cycle is shorter.
3.2.7 Acknowledgement and location of messages sent
Some time after a message has been sent, the sender can ensure the recipient has receivedthe message. The voice mailbox plays messages that have not been consulted. Messages canbe checked one by one.
3.2.8 Recording during a call
If the administrator has granted this right to the user in the phone features categories, aspecific dynamic key is displayed during calls on UA sets. Pressing this key starts recording;pressing the Stop recording key stops recording (recording will also stop when the time allottedfor recording on-line messages runs out).
3-3
During recording, the appropriate dedicated dynamic keys can be used to reset, stop, orresume recording.
3.3 Personal options (Administration and voice mailbox ownerrights)
Voice mailbox owners can:
- Record or modify their name
- Record and modify all personal greeting messages (from one to three). Maximum durationfor each greeting message is from ten seconds to five minutes (30 seconds by default).*
- Select and activate one of the greeting messages
- Change their secret code *
- Select the type of signal for new messages (none, notification only, or full access) *
- Record or modify the Extended absence message
Note:If Extended absence is enabled, the caller hears the greeting message but cannot leave a recordedmessage. The call may be transferred to the attendant.There is no key to toggle this mode on/off.
- Record or modify their greeting on busy message, as well as the Ubiquity greetingmessage.
*: These options are configured by the administrator in the COS associated to the user voicemail.
The administrator also configures call notification, which includes determination of time cycle,phone number, and the user pager number for pager services 1 and 2.
3.4 Caller and answering machine mode
If a user cannot answer a call and has enabled forwarding to their voice mailbox, the call istransferred to the mailbox. The caller is guided in different ways, depending on whether or notUbiquity is enabled.
If Ubiquity is not enabled, the voice mailbox operates as follows:
- If forwarding on no answer or immediate forwarding is programmed, callers hear thepersonal greeting message and are requested to leave a message. At the end of themessage, answering machine mode options are available: callers can listen to themessage again (repeat), confirm recording, hang up, or delete and re-record the message.4645 voice mail also allows callers to mark their messages as Urgent.
- If forwarding on busy is programmed, callers hears a busy greeting message (default orcustomized), and are requested to leave a message. At the end of the message,answering machine mode options are available.
Note:If the forwarding set is a multi-line set, the caller will hear the busy greeting message only if all setlines are busy.
- Answering machine mode recording and end of message options are available whilecallers are recording their messages. By using either the 0 or 9 keys, callers can reach theattendant and request help with saving the message.
Chapter 3
3-4
If the caller hangs up, either during or after recording, the message is saved.
For information on Ubiquity, refer to the module Alcatel-Lucent 4645 VMS - Ubiquity .
3.5 Other features
3.5.1 Dial (call) by name
An internal mailbox can be reached by pressing the # key and entering the correspondingname (standard mailbox name, AA Entry name, etc.), by using the keys on the set keypad (forexample, key 5 corresponds to the letters JKL). After the name has been entered, the mailboxannounces available names and the user selects the recipient.
This type of call can be used:
- For sending a voice message to a voice mailbox (by the owner of a voice mailbox or anattendant).
- With the Automated Attendant, to reach a user who owns a corresponding voice mailbox oran AA menu.
- To leave a message in a mailbox
3.5.2 Wake-Up
All wake-up operations are performed by the PCX. The voice mailbox only plays the wake-upvoice guide.
3.5.2.1 Programming wake-up calls
The user enters the wake-up prefix. The user is guided to enter the desired wake-up time and(optionally) the call number of the set concerned. The user is then connected to a voicemailbox that confirms wake-up time and that the wake-up call has been recorded. Thisannouncement is repeated three times (if the user does not hang up).Wake-up time is stored in the PCX.
3.5.2.2 Making wake-up calls
The PCX connects to the voice mailbox. All wake-up calls programmed for the same time andto be made in the same language are transmitted on the same port of the voice mailbox. Whenthe user off hooks, the voice mailbox plays a voice guide with a reminder that a wake-up callhas been programmed and gives the programmed time.
Note:
The 4645 voice mail provides a voice guide to confirm wake-up time.
3.5.3 System Distribution Lists (SDLs)
If System Distribution Lists rights have been granted, mailbox owners can send voice mail tolists of people, either by entering the list number or spelling its name. User rights to SDLs aregranted by the administrator.SDLs are addressed in the same way as voice mailboxes, because they have a phone numberand a name. With a secret code, these lists are created or deleted by the administrator in thesame way as voice mailboxes. The administrator manages list content. Each list can include
3-5
up to fifty recipients.
Note:
There is no personal distribution list.
3.5.4 Distribution service
The administrator can record a general distribution message from a system set, using aspecific mailbox. This message will be played to all users owning a voice mailbox (whetheradministrator configured or customized).
When the message has been sent, the set LED flashes to notify mailbox owners of its arrival(the set does not ring). Users can only listen to the message when connected to their voicemailbox.
3.5.5 External information and audiotex service
Info-Boxes are created using an AA menu type mailbox. Info-Boxes cannot be concatenated.These boxes allow a series of company information messages to be distributed to the caller(sectors of activity, opening times, etc.).
3.5.6 Managing a voice mailbox secret code
When the voice mailbox is created, its secret code is the same as for the set. This provisionalsecret code can be changed by the administrator and is then sent to the mailbox as the initialmailbox secret code.For a standard voice mailbox, the secret code must be modified the first time the mailbox isaccessed. The secret code for the set and the new mailbox secret code are subsequentlyhandled separately, and the subscriber can change either independently.
In the event of a forgotten his secret code, the administrator can assign a new provisionalsecret code using Eva-tool.
For a hotel guest mailbox, the secret code is activated when the guest checks in. This secretcode is always identical to the password for the set and cannot be modified by the guest.
3.6 Notifying the user of messages
The owner of a mailbox is informed of a new message by a LED flashing on the set.
- For 4004 and 4010 sets: the flashing red LED indicates unconsulted messages in themailbox. A steady red LED indicates that there are only saved messages in the mailbox.
- For 4020, 4035, 4038, and 4068 sets: the flashing green LED and message icon indicateunconsulted messages in the mailbox. LED OFF and message icon ON indicate that thereare only saved messages in the mailbox.
Note:
On UA sets with a display, when there are new (unconsulted) messages, pressing the Message key will
display the number of messages.
3.7 Customizing 4645 voice guides
Chapter 3
3-6
Customized voice guides (company greeting, Automated Attendant main menu, etc.) can beeither recorded in a studio or, for better quality, with the Alcatel Audio Station.
Each recording generates a new G.711 sampling file. The administrator must then import thisfile from the hard drive using the Eva_tool command.
During the import, the customized message is added to the voice message file and replacesthe previous message, which can be the default message or a message recorded from a set.
Deleting the customized message results in the default message being restored.
3.8 Use of ports
All declared ports that are free can be used for incoming calls. If there are outgoing calls, aminimum number of ports must be available for incoming calls.
The following rule applies:
The maximum number of ports used simultaneously for outgoing calls must be less than orequal to the number of declared ports divided by two.
Example:
For a voice mail system with eight ports declared, 4 can be simultaneously used for outgoing calls.
3.9 Voice mail system and PCX network
The 4645 voice mail system is designed to be installed in a PCX network (ABC network) as acentralized or distributed voice mail server.The 4645 voice mail system can co-exist with a 4635 voice mail system, provided there is notmore than one voice mail system per network node.
3.10 Hotel voice mailboxes
This type of mailbox is easy to use. The secret code is not required when it is called from theassigned room set, but is required when it is accessed from any other set.Messages are played automatically and only a limited number of options are available: skipmessage, hear again (repeat), delete, and date and time of reception.
Note:
As an option, guests can record their name.
Check-in: when a new guest checks in, the mailbox is automatically created with the samesecret code, same number and same language as the room set assigned.
Check-out: when the guest leaves, the mailbox is closed (messages can no longer be left) andunconsulted messages can be either deleted, or accessed until the mailbox is assigned to anew guest.

4.1 General information
The 4645 voice mail system has an Automated Attendant feature that can be used to
- Answer calls
- Execute transfer to requested number
- Broadcast information messages concerning the company
To do this, the Automated Attendant uses two specific voice mailboxes:
- The Automated Attendant Entry or AA Entry mailbox
- The Automated Attendant Menu or AA Menu mailbox
The following features are available:
- Language selection
- Automated Attendant menu direct call from its call number
- Supervised or blind transfer
- Call pre-routing: company greeting or good bye message
- Configuration of a powerful Automatic Attendant by using two basic building blocks (AAEntry and AA Menu) to create multiple entry points.
The 4645 voice mail system enables the administrator to configure a multiple entry, multiplelevel Automated Attendant tree structure.The basic building blocks for an Automated Attendant are AA Entry and AA Menu.
4.2 Automated Attendant Entry (AA Entry)
This is the Automated Attendant entry point. This entry has a company greeting message,language selection (optional), and usually a reference to an AA Menu or to a voice mailbox.
A caller usually reaches the Automated Attendant from a virtual set with immediate forwardingto AA Entry. When the call arrives, the company greeting message is played and an (optional)voice guide helps the caller to select a language before transferring the call to AA Entry.
The administrator can customize the AA Entry greeting by consulting it, as for a regular voicemailbox, with a secret code. The administrator records the company greeting message to beplayed when a call is received. To simplify identification, the AA Entry can have a recordedname. If no customized company greeting message has been recorded, the default greetingmessage is played.While the company greeting message is played, callers can press the # key to consult theirmailbox. They must then enter the mailbox number and secret code. This feature (voicemailbox access using the # key) can be disabled by the administrator. In this case, the functionof the # key is to skip the company greeting message.
4.3 Automated Attendant Menu (AA Menu)
The AA menu allows a caller to be connected to different destinations according to the
4-1
configuration determined by the administrator. A connection destination can be configured foreach key (keys 0 to 9). A final connection destination (the attendant) can also be configured,for when the caller does not respond to the menu prompt (after the options have beenrepeated a second time).
Connection destinations are:
- Not used: the key used has no function
- Transfer by entering the number: the caller can enter the number or select the keycorresponding to this type of connection. This activates a voice guide requesting the callerto enter the number
- Transfer by entering the name: the caller enters the name of the called party using thekeys on their set keypad. Only destinations for which the name is recognized can beselected: for example, a voice mailbox, AA Entry, or the AA menu. Transfer destinationswith no associated voice mailbox are not included in the Call by name tree structure.
- Transfer to a pre-selected number: number preconfigured by the administrator
- Transfer to attendant: by using a key (0 to 9)
- Leave a message in a voice mailbox (or change AA menu) by entering number: the callerenters the number and is connected to the voice mailbox (or AA menu) specified
- Leave a message in a voice mailbox (or change AA menu) by entering name: using theDTMF keys, the caller enters the number and is connected to the voice mailbox (or AAmenu) specified
- Leave a message in a voice mailbox (or change AA menu) by entering a preset number:number preconfigured by the administrator
- Hangs up,
- Back: the call is redirected to its previous destination (for example, the last AA menu) orexits the voice mailbox.
A transfer can be performed in two modes:
- blind transfer: transfer is performed without control on the status of the called party. Thebenefit is to release the voicemail resources as soon as the transfer is initiated. In case offailure (for example because the called party is busy):• if the calling party is external, the call is routed according to the entity table of the
called party• if the calling party is internal, the call is released
- supervised transfer: in case the transfer can not be carried out, the voice mail systeminforms the user about the status of the destination. Cause of failure may be:• the called party is free but does not answer before supervised transfer timeout has
occured• the called party is busy• the called extension does not exist• you are not allowed to call this number
The transfer mode is a configuration parameter of the voice mail box.
The function of the * key is predetermined to redirect the call to the last menu (planned AAmenu, exit the voice mailbox). The function of the # key, if not disabled by the administrator, ispreconfigured for mailbox consultation.
If keys 0 and 9 are not configured or there is an AA menu operation error (no caller response
Chapter 4
4-2
to the menu prompt), the caller is transferred to the attendant.
The administrator can customize AA menu announcements by consulting the AA menu with asecret code (in the same way as for a standard voice mailbox).For each language installed, the AA menu has an announcement that requests the caller toselect an entry key.Recording the customized greeting messages used by the AA menu is the administrator'sresponsibility. If messages are not customized, the default messages will be used.
4-3
Chapter 4
4-4
5.1 General information
Ubiquity is used to offer callers choices when they cannot reach the person called. Thesechoices are offered by the Ubiquity Assistant, an AA Menu type voice mailbox.
The Ubiquity feature is configured from the 4645 voice mail system. It only applies to standardmailboxes, and is used to:
- Provide a default greeting message if no customized greeting message has been recorded
- Create an Ubiquity Assistant profile with a combination of soft keys
- Create nine transfer destinations, configured by the administrator
- To program a mobile number (by the administrator)
- To program a mobile phone using a dedicated prefix (by the user)
The Ubiquity feature allows a voice mailbox owner to customize the mailbox help menu (usinthe AA menu). The help menu is used to guide a caller by offering a choice of differentforwarding destinations. The Ubiquity feature is enabled by using one of the forwardingprefixes (immediate, on busy, etc.), followed by the Ubiquity assistant prefix number, or bypressing the corresponding dynamic key on the UA set. If Ubiquity forwarding is not enabled,regular voice mailbox operation is used. The user cannot enable the Ubiquity forwardingfeature unless rights to this feature have been granted by the administrator.Using the Ubiquity assistant prefix, the user can (for direct calls) reach the Ubiquity assistantfor their mailbox to record a personal Ubiquity greeting message instead of using the default(existing) message.When there is an incoming call, the customized Ubiquity greeting message (if there is one) isplayed, otherwise the default message is played. The caller selects one of the options offeredand (after a timeout has elapsed) can leave a message.
5.2 Choices offered to the caller by the Ubiquity assistant
The following choices can be offered to a caller by the Ubiquity assistant:
- Up to nine transfer destinations (if they have been configured by the administrator), usingkeys 1 to 9. A transfer destination is configured in three steps:• In the Ubiquity Assistant template object, fill in Transfer type with the Local number
type for an internal or external number, and Voice mailbox number type if the transferdestination is the owner of the mailbox. By default, keys 1 to 3 are configured as thelocal number, and keys 4 to 9 as Option not used.
• If the transfer destination is a local number, the administrator must have specified it inthe Ubiquity assistant template object. This number may be a phone number or anUbiquity service prefix.
• If the transfer destination is an Ubiquity prefix number, the administrator must completethe Mobile number field or Contact number field (or both) for each Ubiquity subscriber.
- By entering the Ubiquity mobile programming prefix, the owner of the mailbox, afterentering their secret code, can customize the greeting message played to callers whenthey are connected to the mailbox Ubiquity assistant.
- By entering the "Ubiquity Assistant" prefix, the owner of the mailbox can listen to the
5-1
greeting message recorded (this is an AA menu). To customize this menu, mailbox ownersmust call their mailbox and enter the number of the AA menu that activates the Ubiquityassistant. They can then, after entering their secret code, follow the voice guide tocustomize the AA menu greeting.
5.3 Ubiquity template design
The Ubiquity template is designed to allow the Ubiquity template prefix to be created in thenumbering plan:
- This prefix number is dialed by the user as a forward destination number on Ubiquity(which is an AA menu). In the Ubiquity Assistant, the function associated with each digitcan be specified; for example, a mobile phone, contact, voice mailbox, etc.).
- The Ubiquity template is internally linked with an AA menu which allows the administratorto record a Ubiquity greeting message in the Ubiquity template AA menu. This is done bycalling the voice mailbox and consulting the AA menu linked with Ubiquity template.
- The Ubiquity template can be used as a template for each Ubiquity subscriber with thesame combination of digits (mobile phone, contact, voice mailbox, etc.) and the sameUbiquity greeting message. Each Ubiquity subscriber can customize this greetingmessage. The Ubiquity subscriber and Ubiquity templatet are linked in the Ubiquitysubscription object.
A caller who reaches the Ubiquity assistant can select to leave a message or wait for anUbiquity automatic transfer to the subscriber's voice mailbox. On the subscriber's voicemailbox, a voice guide requests the caller to leave a message after the audio signal (beep).When the Ubiquity greeting message has not been customized by the owner of the mailbox,the default greeting message (“To leave a message for [mailbox owner name], press one.“) isplayed. This message is not played if the mailbox is configured in extended absence greetingmessage mode.
A transfer destination can be configured by the administrator, as Not used. In this case, theassociated key (from 1 to 9) has no function.
When the Ubiquity greeting message has not been customized, content of the default greetingmessage depends on transfer destination type:
- When the name has been recorded and the transfer number is an internal numberassociated with a mailbox, the message played is: ”To transfer to [mailbox owner name],press two.”.
- When the name has been recorded and the transfer number is an internal or externalnumber, but the transfer destination is not available, the message played is: “To transfer toextension <1234>, press two.”.
Note:The caller can reach the attendant at any time by entering 0 or 9, but this option is not announced bythe voice guide.
The number of Ubiquity subscribers is controlled by an ACTIS lock.

6.1 Foreword
This module describes the 4645 voice mail installation procedure, that may be broken downinto two steps:
1. Setup of the voice mail service, whether on a duplicated system or not.
2. Loading voice mail voice guides to the system.
This first step may vary somewhat according to site hardware configuration, namely, whetherthe 4645 voice mail service and the Call Server are located on the same CPU or not.
1. The 4645 voice mail service and Call Server are located on the same CPU. The hardwareconfiguration will therefore be:
Note 1:The Call Server and 4645 voice mail service can also be located on an Appliance Server. The install-ation procedure remains identical.
2. The 4645 voice mail service and Call Server are located on two different CPUs. Thehardware configuration will therefore be:
6-1
Note 2:The Call Server or 4645 voice mail service can also be located on an Appliance Server. The installa-tion procedure remains identical.
In both cases, the installer must have the following to configure 4645 voice mail:
- either a VT100 console (Hyperterminal) locally connected to the CPU(s),
- or a PC with an Ethernet link to the company LAN (Telnet).
Whatever the hardware configuration used, make sure the CPU(s) concerned by installation of4645 voice mail are already correctly loaded with the software required for installation. If thisoperation has not been performed, refer to the CD-ROM containing the required softwareversion, the installation tool, and documentation covering software loading.
For 4645 voice mail limits and operating status, see the ACTIS locks configured for the systemin the following section.
6.2 ACTIS Locks
There are five Actis locks for the 4645 voice mail service. These are:
1. lock 178-EVA_engine, which indicates whether the system has a voice mail service ornot. There are two possible states: 0: no voice mail installed / 1: voice mail installed (2 forthe 4645 Starter Pack).
2. lock 179-EVA_vm_box, which indicates the number of mailboxes available on the system.This number of mailboxes varies according to size of the system. Possible values are 30(for the 4645 Starter Pack) 80, 150, 250, 500 and Open given that, for the latter, themaximum value is 1000.
Chapter 6
6-2
3. lock182-EVA_network, which indicates whether the system has a networked 4645 voicemail service or not. There are two possible states: 0: internal voice mail / 1: networkedvoice mail (0 only for the 4645 Starter Pack).
Note 1:This lock concerns the VPIM service.
4. lock 183-EVA_add_lang, which indicates the number of languages available for 4645voice mail (the first language is provided free). The maximum number is 8 (0: onelanguage). For the 4645 Starter Pack, only 0 is permitted.
5. lock 194-EVA_PORTAL_VALUE, which indicates the number of 4645 mailboxes with portalaccess. This number is incremented in steps of ten (nb x10). This lock number must bemore or equal to that of lock 179-EVA_vm_box. For the 4645 Starter Pack, the locknumber cannot exceed 30.
Note 2:This lock concerns the IMAP service.
To display lock state, proceed as follows:

In the example, the system has a networked voice mail system. It can provide 500 mailboxesand play voice guides and announcements in 5 languages (once configured).
6.3 Setting up the Voice Mail Service (non-Duplicated System)
6-3
6.3.1 Configuration with the Call Server and 4645 Voice Mail on the Same CPU
Note 1:
To simplify, the CPU on which the Call Server and 4645 voice mail service are located is referred to as
the "Enterprise CPU". This CPU can also be an Appliance Server.
Caution:
take into account the fact that the Call Server is already operating on the CPU involved (phone
started).
From the ">" prompt by the Enterprise CPU, initiate the 4645 voice mail procedure as follows:
- Step 1: declare the 4645 voice mail in management system (this step is described inmodule Alcatel-Lucent 4645 VMS - Configuration procedure - Preliminary Remarks). Thenvalidate to ensure that the system will take into account the modifications. This actiontriggers the voice mail commissioning.
Remarks:Two of the parameters impact voice mail installation. They are:
• the voice mail directory number: once a number is given to the voice mail system, itis automatically created as aAlcatel-Lucent OmniPCX Enterprise CS virtual "EVAboard". This allows to check its operating status.
Note 2:This "EVA board" is seen in shelf 18 in the same way as the GD board.
• The name of the CPU on which the voice mail will operate.: In this configuration,the name must define the Enterprise CPU (for example: cpu_ent).
Note 3:This parameter can also be completed with CPU IP address (for example, 192.168.4.52).
- Step 2: checking voicemail commissioning.
From the Enterprise CPU prompt, enter the command Config 18, as shown below:
(E)cpu_ent> config 18+-------------------------------------------------------------------------+| Cr | cpl | cpl type | coupler state | coupler ID ||----|-----|--------------|--------------------------|--------------------|| 18 | 0 | GD | IN SERVICE| NO SHELF on CR || 18 | 1 | EVA | INITIALIZATION 2 RUNNING| NO SHELF on CR |+-------------------------------------------------------------------------+.........(E)cpu_ent>
From the Enterprise CPU prompt, enter the command Config18, to check that 4645 voicemail is becoming operational.
(1)cpu_ent> config 18+-------------------------------------------------------------------------+| Cr | cpl | cpl type | coupler state | coupler ID ||----|-----|--------------|--------------------------|--------------------|| 18 | 0 | GD | IN SERVICE| NO SHELF on CR || 18 | 1 | EVA | IN SERVICE| NO SHELF on CR |+-------------------------------------------------------------------------+.........(1)cpu_ent>
- Step 3: Once this is completed, also check that the eva.cfg file is present under /usr3/mao.
Chapter 6
6-4
This file gives the IP addresses of the Call Server and 4645 (eva) voice mail. Theseaddresses must always be specified as the Call Server and 4645 voice mail system arelocated on the same CPU.
Example:(E)cpu_ent> cd /usr3/mao(E)cpu_ent> more eva.cfgcallserver1 = 192.168.4.52eva = 192.168.4.52
6.3.2 Configuration with the Call Server and 4645 Voice Mail on two DifferentCPUs
Note 1:
To simplify, the CPU where the voice mail service is located is called CPU 4645. Likewise, the CPU
where the Call Server is located is called CPU CS. Either of these CPUs may be an Appliance Server.
The procedure remains identical.
Caution 1:- For the CPU 4645: Check CPU board micro-switch settings before starting up. Remove the
board and check the micro-switches are set as shown: (ON/OFF/OFF/OFF),
then re-install the board. Micro-switch configuration will determine type (CS or GD) of CPUboard (CS in this example).
- For the CPU CS: take into account the fact that the Call Server is already operating on theCPU CS (phone started).
Once the CPU 4645 has been started and the installer logged on, the voice mailcommissioning procedure can be started from the ">" prompt. To do this, follow the stepsdescribed below:
- Step 1: since the Alcatel-Lucent OmniPCX Enterprise CS is installed in the IP environmentof a client, it is necessary to execute the following operations under Netadmin:a. declare the name and IP address of the CPU 4645, as well as the subnetwork mask
value:
From the 4645 CPU prompt, enter the command netadmin -m, as shown below:
6-5
(E)xa000010> netadmin -mAlcatel e-Mediate IP Network Administration===========================================1. 'Installation'2. 'Show current configuration'3. 'Local Ethernet interface'4. 'CPU redundancy'5. 'Role addressing'6. 'Serial links (SLIP/PPP)'7. 'Tunnel'8. 'Routing'9. 'Host names and addresses'10. 'Copy setup'11. 'Security'12. 'DHCP configuration'13. 'SNMP configuration'14. 'VLan configuration'15. 'History of last actions'16. 'Apply modifications'0. 'Quit'
What is your choice ?
Then select menu 1. 'Installation' and follow the instructions displayed on screen tosuccessively enter:• 4645 CPU name (e.g.: cpu_4645),• CPU 4645 IP address (e.g.: 192.168.4.53),• subnetwork mask (e.g.: 255.255.255.0).Once this step is completed, return to main menu.
b. declare the physical IP address and name of the CPU CS in the CPU 4645 Host file:
Remaining under Netadmin, successively select menu9. 'Host names andaddresses', then menu 2. 'Add/Update'. Then follow the instructions displayed onscreen to enter CPU CS IP address and name.Once this step is completed, return to main menu.
Caution 2:This operation must be repeated for the CPU CS. The IP address and name of the CPU4645 must be specified in the CPU CS host.
c. Declare the main IP address if it has been previously managed at CPU CS level. Thisstep is documented in the module netadmin - Operation - Role Addressing.
- Step 2: enable telephone automatic start on CPU 4645.
From the CPU 4645 prompt, enter the command exit. Under the connection login, enterswinst, then the password.
From swinst, select in turn menu 2 Expert menu, 6 system management and 2Autostart management. Follow the instructions on the screen.
- Step 3: declaring the 4645 voice mail in the CPU CS system management parameters.This step is documented in module Alcatel-Lucent 4645 VMS - Configuration procedure -Preliminary Remarks.
Chapter 6
6-6
Remark:Two of the parameters impact voice mail installation. They are:
• the voice mail directory number: once a number is given to the voice mail system, it is auto-matically created in the Alcatel-Lucent OmniPCX Enterprise CS as a virtual "EVA board". Thisallows to check its operating status.
Note 2:This "EVA board" is seen in shelf 18 in the same way as the GD board.
• the name of the CPU on which the voice mail will operate: In this configuration, the namemust represent the 4645 CPU (for example: cpu_4645). The voice mail service will operate afterthe CPU 4645 has been re-initialized (see step 5).
Note 3:This parameter can also be completed with CPU IP address (e.g. 192.168.4.53).
From the CPU CS prompt, enter the command Config 18, to check the presence of 4645voice mail.
(E)cpu_cs> config 18+-------------------------------------------------------------------------+| Cr | cpl | cpl type | coupler state | coupler ID ||----|-----|--------------|--------------------------|--------------------|| 18 | 0 | GD |REGISTERED NOT INITIALIZED| NO SHELF on CR || 18 | 1 | EVA |REGISTERED NOT INITIALIZED| NO SHELF on CR |+-------------------------------------------------------------------------+.........(E)cpu_cs>
- Step 4: Check that the EVA_ONLY (on 4645 CPU only) and eva.cfg files in /usr3/mao arepresent. The latter file gives the Call Server and 4645 voice mail IP addresses configuredpreviously (see step 1). This check must be performed on both CPUs.
Example:(E)cpu_cs> cd /usr3/mao(E)cpu_cs> more eva.cfgcallserver1 = 192.168.4.52eva = 192.168.4.53
- Step 5: starting the CPU 4645.
From the CPU 4645 prompt, run the command shutdown -r now, as shown below:
(E)cpu_4645> shutdown —r now......
- Step 6: After starting CPU 4645, check that 4645 voice mail is enabled.
From the CPU CS prompt, run the command Config 18 as shown below:
(1)cpu_cs> config 18+-------------------------------------------------------------------------+| Cr | cpl | cpl type | coupler state | coupler ID ||----|-----|--------------|--------------------------|--------------------|| 18 | 0 | GD | IN SERVICE| NO SHELF on CR || 18 | 1 | EVA | IN SERVICE| NO SHELF on CR |+-------------------------------------------------------------------------+.........(1)cpu_cs>
6.4 Setting up the Voice Mail Service (Duplicated System)
The actions described above are identical for a system with a duplicated Call Server.
However, during step 1, the physical IP address of the twin CS CPU must be declared (see the
6-7
module Call Server duplication - Configuration procedure - Configuring the Twin Com Server).Consequently, when checking that the eva.cfg file is present, the twin CPU CS IP address willalso be displayed. Main IP addresses for these two CS CPUs (local and twin) must also betaken into consideration (see the module Call Server duplication - Configuration procedure -Configuring Role IP Addresses).
Example:
(E)cpu_cs> cd /usr3/mao(E)cpu_cs> more eva.cfgcallserver1 = 192.168.4.52callserver2 = 192.168.3.51callservermain1 = 192.168.4.50callservermain2 = 192.168.3.50eva = 192.168.4.53
Caution:
when switching Call Servers, the 4645 voice mail automatically resets to confirm its operation
with the new Main Call Server.
6.5 Loading Voice Mail Voice Guides
6.5.1 Overview
When setup is complete, only one voice guide language file is installed by default on thesystem for the voice mail service. This file is the GEA (Generic English Alcatel) language file.
To make voice guides in another language available, they must be loaded to the hard drive ofthe voice mail CPU.
To do this, you need the CD-ROM. This contains:
- Voice guides in 40 languages (A law) and 20 languages (µ law). See: List of AvailableLanguages for Voice Guides
- The voice guide transfer tool (utility).
- The documentation explaining transfer tool installation and detailing the contents of theCD-ROM (list of available voice guide languages, etc).
The transfer tool allows voice guide language files to be transferred from the CD-ROM to thehard drive of the voice mail CPU (to the directory “/DHS3ext/vgeva”).

6.5.3 Transfer Procedure
The procedure consists of two steps:
1. Transfer tool installation and use (opening a session).
2. Transferring voice guide files from the CD-ROM to the system.
These two steps are described in the module Voice guides and music-on-hold - Voice guidetransfer software.
Caution:
When transfer is complete, remember to reset a virtual voice mail board using the rstcpl 18 1
command.
Chapter 6
6-10
7.1 Configuration
The 4645 voice mail system is configured using the PCX management tool (extensiveconfiguration) or a telephone set (limited configuration).There is no interaction between these two modes of configuration as the fields that can beconfigured by one means cannot be configured using the other means.
7.2 Configuring with the PCX Management Tool
7.2.1 Preliminary Remarks
This section describes the standard configuration operations the installer must perform tocreate the 4645 voice mail service only.
For detailed management of the 4645 voice mail system, refer to the Administrator Manual,module Alcatel-Lucent 4645 VMS - Overview.
7.2.2 Creating the 4645 Voice Mail Service
Caution:
- At creation, you assign a directory number to the 4645 voice mail service in the same way asfor system users. It is therefore necessary to take the system numbering plan into account soas to avoid any conflict between voice mail service directory number and system user direct-ory numbers.
Procedure:1. Select the object: Applications > Voice mail.2. Select "Review/Modify" mode.
Attributes:
Voice Mail Dir. No. : Enter the 4645 voice mail directory number. 3 to 8 di-gits.
Connection COS ID : Enter a connection category number. From 0 to 31.This selection determines whether sets are author-ized or forbidden to call the 4645 voice mail service.
Note:
A connection category compatible with those of voice mail
service subscribers must therefore be selected.
7-1
% of Authorized Camp-on : Enter the camp on percentage allowed. From 0 to200.This choice determines the number of camping callsauthorized on the voice mail service.
Example:
200% camp on calls on an 4645 voice mail service
equipped with 8 ports allows 16 simultaneous camping
calls.
Directory Name : Enter the name identifying the 4645 voice mail ser-vice. 1 to 16 digits and/or characters.This name is shown on sets when they are:- forwarding to their mailbox,- connected to their mailbox.
Number Of Accesses : Leave the default value. Not significant in a 4645voice mail context.
Voice Mail Type : Select: 4645.
Voice Mail Server No. : Assigning a unique identifier allows this voice mailservice to be identified on the VPIM network. Enterthis value even if the VPIM service is not used.
Justified : Select:- Yes: all outgoing calls from the 4645 voice mail
service are taken into account by accounting.- No: no outgoing calls from the 4645 voice mail
service are taken into account by accounting.
Voice Mail CPU Name : Enter the name of the CPU that supports the 4645voice mail service.This field must be completed whatever the systemconfiguration adopted. For a duplicated system, it willspecify on which CPU (main or backup) the voice mailservice is to run.
Other actions that can be performed on the 4645 voice mail service:
- Delete the voice mail service:
Procedure:a. First make sure there are no mailbox owners, distribution lists and no Automated Attend-
ant for the voice mail service.b. Select the object: Applications > Voice mail.c. Select "Review/Modify" mode and enter the number of the voice mail service.d. When voice mail service parameters are displayed, replace its directory number with the
string, "".
- Modifying the voice mail service:
Chapter 7

Procedure:a. First make sure there are no mailbox owners, distribution lists and no Automated Attend-
ant for the voice mail service.b. Select the object: Applications > Voice mail.c. Select "Review/Modify" mode and enter the number of the voice mail service.d. When voice mail service parameters are displayed, make any modifications concerning:
• voice mail service directory number,• type of voice mail service,• voice mail CPU name.
Then confirm changes for them be applied by the system.
7.2.3 4645 Voice Mail Service Global Parameters
7.2.3.1 General
To complete declaration of the 4645 voice mail service, a series of global parameters must beconfigured.
The operating mode of some of these parameters requires some explanation. This concerns:
- the languages used by the voice mail service,
- message notification by paging.
7.2.3.2 Languages Used
When a user connects to a voice mailbox, the language requested for playback of voice guidesand set display is sent to the voice mail system (in in the following diagram).
Remark:
The language assigned to the voice mailbox is one of the nationalities configured for the system. It is
formed by the combination of a display language and a voice guide language.
The voice mail system checks whether the language requested for the user's voice mailbox isavailable in the list of languages that it offers (in ). There are two possible cases:
- the requested language is available. In this case, the voice mail service authorizes use ofthis language when the mailbox is called (in in the following diagram),
- the requested language is not available. In this case, the voice mail service will designatethe language configured as default language as the language to be used when the mailboxis called (in in the following diagram).
The organization of objects used to manage 4645 voice mail languages can be broken downas follows:
7-3
7.2.3.3 Notification by Pager
The 4645 voice mail system allows subscribers to be informed of the arrival of new messagesin their mailbox via a pager.
Two pager services (1 and 2) are offered to the subscriber when he programs notification typeon his set. After accessing his mailbox, the user puts one of the two numbers (#1 or #2)identifying the pager service in front of his pager number.
Each message specifying pager service can be configured by the installer.

7.3 Configuring by Telephone Set
The interface between the administrator and the embedded 4645 voice mail service is basedon sending DTMF digits from an analog set or messages generated on a UA set keypad. Theadministrator is guided via menus and voice guides that confirm data, notify him of errors orprompt him to enter data.
Note:
The administrator can "anticipate" voice guidance by entering configuration data before being prompted
to do so.
To get the voice mail administration menu, the administrator enters a mailbox number #followed by *, # , or 00 and enters his administrator secret code."Configuration from a set" mode only allows limited configuration that allows:
- a message to be sent to all voice mailboxes in the voice mail system.
- to record (after selecting the number of the language to be used) "goodbye"announcements and notification following message deposit announcements.

8.1 General
To handle 4645 voice mail service, the following commands (to launch on the system terminal)have been developed or adapted.
- vmail: controls accesses (or ports) to voice mail and hence ensures it is operatingcorrectly. Note that vmail gives port status on the Call Server (and not 4645 side),
- Eva_tool: seen as a menu, it allows the manager to perform specific operations on voicemail, such as deleting messages or mailboxes, changing the secret code for a mailbox,resetting accesses to voice mail, etc.).
To back up 4645 voice mail data (with or without mailbox messages) in a specific directory, themanager uses the swinst tool. The backup procedure is described in the module Swinst -Operation - Backup and Restore.
8.2 vmail
Caution:
The vmail command must only be run after the PCX telephone application has fully started
(RUNTEL finished).
When prompted by the Call Server CPU, enter vmail as shown below:
Example:

Three parameters are used to indicated status of accesses (or ports) to voice mail. They are:
- the line Link status, which indicates whether the connection is established or not (seeexample above: OK).
- the column Free/B set to:• B: indicates that the port is busy,
8-1
• F: indicates that the port is free (see the example above),
- the column state set to:• KO: indicates that the port is not in operation,• OK: indicates that the port is in operation and available to receive incoming calls (see
the example above for the 8 voice mail accesses).
