User's Guide To Voice Messaging
Overview
'Remote Access' simply means that you can access your Voice Messaging program from an area other than your computer (in this case, by touch tone phone). This chapter discusses the processes and procedures that allow you to call into your system from a remote location (while it's running) and edit the system. Although it may seem hard to believe, you can do almost everything you've learned about adding tree objects, configuring, etc., just by calling into your system! As the System Administrator, you have nearly all the power on the phone as you do when you're in front of the computer.
The sections in this chapter discuss the procedures for entering the remote access feature of Voice Messaging, and also discuss in detail the System Administrator remote access menu system. There is also a section that discusses specific procedures for common remote user tasks.
In this chapter, you will learn about:
Terms
|
Reference Number |
In Remote Access, this is the object's absolute ID number. |
|
Touch Tone Number |
In Remote Access, this is the object's referential ID number. |
When you're working on your system at the computer, you get to see what you're doing. You don't have this advantage when you call in and remotely work on your system. To compensate, it is important that you make some notes before you call. This allows you to map out the task you want to perform when you call your system.
There are two important things to keep in mind when you call into your system to edit remotely:
2. Stick to it - If you stick to the tasks you planned to do, then you should have no trouble completing them. You could get into trouble, though, when you start making other system modifications on the spot. This could get you seriously lost, and may result in accidental or improper changes.
Before you begin planning out a live remote access session, you should plan some practice sessions. This gives you some time to move around using remote access, so that you can become familiar with the way it works. The last section of this chapter, "Performing Specific Remote Access Tasks", contains some specific tasks you can use to practice. Once you feel comfortable with the remote access system, it's time to move on to the real thing.
When you are ready to access your system remotely, make sure that the system is up and running, and that you call using a touch tone phone. Use the following procedure to access the remote user portion of your Voice Messaging system:
|
Keep in mind that the System Greeting speech must not be disabled. If it is, then you will not be able to remotely access the system. |
Begin by dialing your system's phone number. When the System Greeting plays, Press the # key followed by the 0 (zero) key. You must make sure to press these keys during the System Greeting. If you've pressed the keys in time, you hear a beep. At this point you should enter your system password followed by the # key. When you finish entering the password, the System Administrator menu plays. |
If you enter the password incorrectly, then the call continues as a normal call. This is so a nosy caller can't attempt to access your system.
Now that you know how to get in, let's look at your options. The next section details the remote access menu structure.
|
The remote access spoken menus provide you with almost all of the functionality of the Voice Messaging System Editor. As you might imagine, this added level of control over the phone also adds to the complexity of the menus. When we say complex, we don't mean difficult. We mean that things can get a bit confusing if you're just wandering around the menus. |
When you work in front of the computer, you have a mouse and a keyboard to move you around the System Editor, as well as a screen to see the changes. With remote access, you have twelve buttons to press and spoken menus to guide you. That is why it is important that you have a good understanding of the menus, what they do, and how they do it. This section prepares you for this.
Remote Access Main Menu
This is the first remote access menu that you hear when you reach the remote access portion of the system. This menu contains the following in speech form:
"Press 1 to navigate using Application Menus."
"Press 2 to navigate directly to an Object ID."
"Press 3 to edit the System Greeting."
"Press 4 to edit the Initial Prompt"
"Press 5 for Instructions for Remote Access."
|
You can not edit the System Greeting with this option. |
1 Navigate Using Application Menus - This option allows you to locate the object you wish to access by using the menus that the normal caller hears. This means that you can go through the menus on the Prompt tree objects. When you locate the tree object you wish to modify, press the # key to switch back to the remote access menus. The system then tells you what the object's reference number is, and what type of tree object it is. The system then plays the Edit menu for that object. |
|
You can not edit the System Greeting with this option. |
2 Navigate directly to an Object ID - This allows you to locate a tree object by entering the object's ID Number, followed by the # key. |
After you enter the object's ID and press the # key, the system takes you to that object. The system then tells you what the object's ID number is. The system then plays the Edit menu for that object.
3 Edit The System Greeting - This option allows you to access the System Greeting object for editing. Once you get there, the System Greeting Edit menu plays.
4 Edit the Initial Prompt - This option allows you to access the Initial Prompt object for editing. Once you get there, the Initial Prompt Edit menu plays.
5 Instructions For Remote Access - This option allows you to hear the special instructions for remote access. Here are those instructions:
"You can press the star (*) key while on the Main menu to exit Remote Access. On any other menu, the star key allows you to return to the previous menu."
"When entering multiple touch tones [numbers], press the pound (#) key to signal the end of the number. When listening to a menu, you can press the pound key to hear a menu again."
The Editing Menus
Editing menus allow you to change or configure the tree object that they pertain to. There is an Editing Menu for each tree object, including the System Greeting and the Initial Prompt.
Prompt Edit Menu
This menu allows you to perform all of the necessary editing functions for Prompts in your system tree. You reach this Edit menu whenever you choose to edit a tree object that is a Prompt. The following speech plays when you reach the Prompt Edit menu:
"Press 1 to Enable or Disable This Prompt."
"Press 2 to Change the ID Speech."
"Press 3 to Change the Main Speech."
"Press 4 to Enable or Disable Auto Menuing."
"Press 5 to Add a New Child."
"Press 6 to Enter a New Object ID to Edit."
0 Change the Branch Password - This option allows you to change this object's Password. When you press the 0 key (zero, not the letter "O"), a speech tells you to enter the new password, followed by the pound (#) key. If you press the pound key without entering any numbers, you return to the Prompt menu. If you enter the new password and press #, then the system asks you to enter the number again to verify the change.
1 Enable Or Disable This Prompt - When you select this option, a speech tells you if the Prompt is currently enabled or disabled. You can then press 1 to disable or enable the Prompt, or wait for about five seconds. If you wait (which you would do if you do not want to change the setting), you return to the Prompt Edit menu.
2 Change ID Speech - This allows you to change the ID speech of the Prompt. When you select this option, you have five options:
You can press the 1 key to record a new ID speech, and begin recording after the tone (pressing # allows you to stop recording, or you can simply stop speaking).
You can press the 2 key to listen to your newly recorded speech.
You can press the 3 key to play the old ID speech.
You can press the 4 key to save the new ID speech and exit to the Prompt Edit menu.

4 Enable Or Disable Auto Menuing - When you select this option, a speech tells you if the Auto Menuing option is currently enabled or disabled. You can then press 1 to disable or enable Auto Menuing, or wait for about five seconds. If you wait (which you would do if you do not want to change the setting), you return to the Prompt Edit menu.
5 Add a New Child - Selecting this option allows you to add a tree object as a branch from this Prompt. Once you press 5, a system speech asks you to enter the reference number of the object to add. This simply means you would enter the object's relative ID (i.e., The ID it has under the originating Prompt, not its absolute ID). Press the pound (#) key after the reference number. If you enter an ID that already exists, a speech tells you that the operation cannot be performed. You return to the Prompt Edit menu, and you can choose a new ID.
If the system accepts the new ID number, it plays the number back to you. If this is the correct ID number, you press the 1 key. Pressing any other key tells the system that this is not the correct number, and you may enter the ID number again.
Once the ID is correct, you then hear a menu of add options. You can choose to add an Announcement by pressing 1, press 2 to add a Prompt, or press 3 to add a Control point.
Once you add the tree object, you then hear the appropriate menu for that tree object. At this point, you can configure the object as you see fit using the new object's Edit menu.
Keep in mind that any added object is disabled until you enable it. If you wish to use it, you need to enable it.
6 Enter a New Object ID to Edit - This option allows you to move to another object in the tree. When you press 6, a speech tells you to enter the object's ID, then press #. If you enter an ID number that does not exist, a speech tells you that the operation cannot be performed. You return to the Prompt Edit menu, and you can press 6 again and enter a new ID. Once you enter a valid ID number and press #, you go to that tree object. The reference number for that object plays, followed by the Edit menu. You can then make the necessary edits.
Announcement Edit Menu

If you enter an ID number that does not exist, then the system tells you that it can't perform the operation. You then return to the Initial Prompt Edit menu.
As you begin to use the remote access feature more, you may find that there are some procedures you perform more often than others. This section discusses the procedures for some of the more common remote access procedures. This includes changing or updating Announcement speeches, adding and configuring Announcements, and configuring the controls on the System Greeting.
Adding and Configuring an Announcement as a System Administrator
One of the more common remote access procedures is adding a Announcement, then configuring it for use for the intended Announcement owner. Before you add a Announcement, you need to know the ID of the Prompt that will be its parent. Since adding a tree object is a function of a Prompt, you must be able to locate the parent Prompt in the tree. You should also know what ID number to assign the new Announcement, and make sure that it is not already in use. If you will be recording a Main speech and ID speech for this Announcement, then you should have a script handy.
Use the following procedure to add and configure a Announcement:
Begin by dialing your system's phone number. When the System Greeting plays, Press the # key followed by the 0 (zero) key. You must make sure to press these keys during the System Greeting.
Enter your System Administrator password, then press the # key. If you enter the password correctly, the following menu plays:
"Press 1 to navigate using Program Menus."
"Press 2 to navigate directly to an Object ID."
"Press 3 to edit the System Greeting."
"Press 4 to edit the Initial Prompt"
"Press 5 for Instructions for Remote Access."
Enter the ID of the Prompt that will be the new Announcements' parent, then press the # key.
The system navigates to that Prompt, then plays the ID number. This should match the ID of the Prompt. The following Prompt Edit menu plays:
"Press 1 to Enable or Disable This Prompt."
"Press 2 to Change the ID Speech."
"Press 3 to Change the Main Speech."
"Press 4 to Enable or Disable Auto Menuing."
"Press 5 to Add a New Child."
"Press 6 to Enter a New Object ID to Edit."
If this is the correct Prompt, then press the 5 key to add a new child. The following speech plays:
"Press 2 to add a new Prompt."
"Press 3 to add a new Control Point."
"Press 2 to change the ID speech."
"Press 3 to change the Main speech."
"Press 4 to include or exclude from touch tone directory."
"Press 5 to choose the next action."
"Press 6 to enter a new object ID to edit."
Keep in mind that the Announcement is added in a "Disabled" state. You must enable the Announcement to use it.
Recording an Announcements' Main Speech
You would use this procedure any time you need to update an existing Announcement speech, or record a new one. Make sure you have the ID number of the Announcement you wish to record handy, as well as the script for the speech. Use the following procedure to record a speech for a Announcement:
Begin by dialing your system's phone number. When the System Greeting plays, Press the # key followed by the 0 (zero) key. You must make sure to press these keys during the System Greeting.
Enter your System Administrator password, then press the # key. If you enter the password correctly, the following menu plays:
"Press 1 to navigate using Program Menus."
"Press 2 to navigate directly to a Reference Number."
"Press 3 to edit the System Greeting."
"Press 4 to edit the Initial Prompt"
"Press 5 for Instructions for Remote Access."
Enter the ID of the Announcement that you wish to record speech for, then press the # key.
The system navigates to that Announcement, then plays the ID number. This should match the ID of the Announcement you wish to modify. The following Announcement Edit menu plays:
"Press 2 to change the ID speech."
"Press 3 to change the Main speech."
"Press 4 to include or exclude from touch tone directory."
"Press 5 to choose the next action."
"Press 6 to enter a new object ID to edit."
If this is the Announcement for which you wish to record a Main speech, then press the 3 key. A speech tells you whether or not the Main speech is currently enabled or disabled. You can press 1 if you wish to change the setting, or press any other key (or wait for five seconds) to keep the current setting. Then the following menu plays:
"Press 2 to play new speech."
"Press 3 to play old speech."
"Press 4 to save new speech."
"Press 5 to discard new speech."
Just to make sure the speech recorded properly, press the 2 key. The newly recorded speech plays. You can record the speech again if you feel it is necessary.
When you are satisfied with the speech, you can save this speech and exit back to the Announcement menu by pressing 4. If you don't want to save the speech, press 5. You would then exit to the Announcement menu.
When you finish, you can hang up the phone to end the call.
