An incoming call is automatically forwarded to the user's voice mailbox if the user

  • does not answer the call,

  • is busy,
  • rejects the call.

Forward call to last mailbox in the call forwarding chain

Last sentence completes (br59301)

If the call forwarding chain begins with this user and ends on the voice mail system, the call is forwarded to the mailbox of the last user in the call forwarding chain.

If the call forwarding chain begins with this user and ends on the voice mail system, the call is forwarded to the user’s mailbox.

These settings can also be found in the Call destinations section.

E-mail notification

Newly recorded voice messages generate an e-mail to the user’s e-mail address, provided it is configured under the User heading, and also to the e-mail addresses entered under Notification destinations (message waiting indication via e-mail).

Note:

This function presupposes the Enterprise Voice Mail licence.

Additional notification destinations (comma separated e-mail addresses)

E-mail notifications are sent to the user’s e-mail address as standard. If the e-mail notifications are to be sent to other destinations, enter the e-mail addresses here. Separate the individual e-mail addresses with a comma.

Attach voice message

An audio file with the recorded voice message is also sent as an e-mail attachment.

Note:
  • If the size of the audio file exceeds the maximum size specified, it is not sent along too. You can set the maximum size under Configuration/IP network/SMTP Server.
  • Audio files are only sent along if the G.711 codec is set.

Delete voice message after sending

Deletes the voice message from the phone and the system after the successful email transmission.

hint:

MiVoice Office 400 verifies that the email can sent to the SMTP server. MiVoice 400 does not validate if SMTP server has delivered the email to the receiver. Make sure that the receiver email address is valid and can receive emails from MiVoice Office 400.

Voice message is kept in the system in accordant with the settings under Configuration > Services > Voice mail > General (Retention period field)

You can set up the e-mail service under Configuration / IP network.

Call recording

A user can record an internal or external conversation, with the necessary rights. The recorded data are stored as wave file (in G.711 format) and sent to one or more e-mail addresses. Once they have been sent, wave files are deleted on the communication server.

Note:

Conversation recording may violate existing data protection regulations in your country, or may only be allowed on certain conditions. Notify your correspondent in advance if you wish to use the conversation-recording function.

The maximum recording time for each wave file depends on the configuration of the parameter Maximum e-mail size [Mbyte] with SMTP server. The setting 2 MByte corresponds to approximately 2 minutes recording time. The recording time increases by approx. 2 minutes for each additional MByte. If the maximum recording time is reached, the system stops recording and sends a wave file to the defined e-mail address(es). At the same time the system automatically starts a new recording and stores it in a second wave file, etc. This way no conversation information is lost, and recordings overlap each other by about 2 seconds.

The following conditions must be fulfilled before a user can start recording a conversation:

  • The SMTP server is configured in the system configuration.

  • A valid e-mail sender address for the SMTP server has to be defined in the system configuration.

  • At least one e-mail address is configured at the user's.

  • The user is assigned a permission set, on which the authorisation for Conversation recording is set to Manual. (If authorisation is set to Automatic, conversation recording cannot be started manually).

  • The Enterprise Voice Mail licence is available and at least one audio channel is available for conversation recording.

  • Internal DECT-DECT connections cannot be recorded.

  • If the recording is made on an IP or SIP phone, additional VOIP channels may sometimes be required to convert voice data.
