Applications of VMS Card

VMS as Auto-attendant
VMS can attend incoming calls automatically. It can guide the caller through voice prompts giving him various
options to choose from and can transfer his call to destination of his choice just like an operator would have had
done. Lot of flexibility is offered in transferring calls, similar to the real life scenario where an operator is present.

VMS as Voice Mail System


VMS card has 512 mailboxes where it can store messages. These messages can be played back at appropriate
time (like an answering machine). For e.g., if the caller desires to talk to a person and that person is busy then
the caller can leave a message for the called person in his mailbox. The called person can retrieve the message
from the mailbox when he becomes free. Likewise, the mailbox owner can also leave some message in his
greeting message, which can be played back to the caller if he is not available or busy before taking him to the
mailbox to leave a message. This way a small-customized message can be played back to the callers.

VMS as Marketing Personnel


The customer can use the VMS to sell his products by taking him to the information node wherein he can record
features of his product, can explain how his product is better than any other product, etc.

VMS as Information Center


The customer can record information about his organization or any other relevant information like availability of
products, new products, etc. at the information node. The caller can access this information by accessing the
information node.

ETERNITY ME/GE/PE VMS Card V4 System Manual 7


VMS as Complaint Register
The customer can use the VMS as Complaint register by asking the caller to record his complaint in a dedicated
mailbox (Message mailbox). The Support engineer can access the complaint register and can call the customer
having problem and can solve his problem.

Benefits of VMS
Benefits of VMS are listed below:
• Integrated auto-attendant and voice mail system.
• Reliable. No moving parts.
• Long retention of messages and configuration.
• Low power consumption, easy to install and use.
• No need to change already existing extension numbers of the users. Thereby the caller need not remember
two different codes (extension numbers) to call the same person in an organization viz. one for calling a
person through the VMS and the other for calling the person using the DID facility of the PBX.
• DID feature in PBX is not required to interface the VMS with a PBX.

Benefits to the caller


• Answer your telephone calls on the first or second ring.
• Reduces the load on your receptionist/operator.
• Gives undiluted attention (and importance) to every call.
• Gives your caller (who could be your customer!) the flexibility of dialing the names rather than the extension
number.
• Gives your caller the directory services of the persons, departments and the extensions.
• Reduces the loss of calls by urging the callers to leave a message.
• Gives the caller option of re-recording the message recorded.
• The familiar caller can skip the prompts and dial the digits at a single flow i.e. Caller need not to wait till the
prompt gets over to dial next digit.
• Gives the caller a host of services from just one call.

Benefits to the Mailbox Owner


• Gives the user the flexibility to access his or her mailbox through any telephone.
• Gives the user the security of the mailbox with a mailbox password.
• Provides vital message related information (like date/time) with every message.
• Allows the user to personalize the mailbox with a "personalized" greeting.
• Allows the user to screen the calls before answering.
• Allows multiple "Virtual Extensions and Mailboxes" mapped to one Physical Extension.
• Notifies the user about arrival of new message using unique features like, Message notification and
message wait.

Benefits to the System Engineer


• Needs no specialized training.
• Gives the System Engineer an easy interface to configure and install the card.
• Provides the System Engineer with invaluable reports on port usage, mailbox usage and system
configuration.
• Optimizes the resources and ensures 24 hours up time of the system and non-stop functioning.

Operation of VMS
Caller calls VMS. VMS greets the caller and takes him to the Home Position. The caller starts his journey of VMS
from the Home Position. At Home Position, VMS plays system greetings as per the time of the day followed by the
welcome message "Welcome! Please dial the extension number Or to dial by name press 7. To leave message,
press 6. To go to operator, press 9. For more options, press 0. To disconnect, press #."1

• Dial Extension number. VMS transfers the call to the dialed extension. (Please refer “Dial by Extension
Number”)
• Dial '7'. VMS prompts the caller to dial first three letters of the name of the Called party. Dial valid digits and
VMS transfers the call to the desired person. (Please refer “Dial By Name”)

• Dial '6'. VMS prompts the caller to dial the desired extension number followed by the prompt to leave
message at the home node for that extension user. (Please refer “Leaving a Message”)

• Dial '8'. VMS prompts the caller to dial his extension number for mailbox management. Caller is taken to his
mailbox after dialing valid extension number. (Please refer “Managing Mailbox”)

• Dial '9'. VMS takes the caller to the operator. Operator assists the caller to reach desired person by
transferring the call as per call transfer type of his station.

• Dial '0'. VMS plays prompts recorded for Root Node. (Please refer “Graphs and Nodes”)

• Dial '#'. VMS goes idle after playing the message "Thank you for calling, Goodbye".

• Dial '*'. VMS takes you to the programming mode. (Please refer “Programming VMS Card”)

If the caller does not dial any digit after playing of the Welcome Message i.e. at Timeout, VMS transfers the call to
the operator or goes idle as per the programming done at Home Position.

At Home position, when caller dials '0', he is taken to the Root node of the graph of an organization. The first Menu
node is Root Node. While traversing through the graph, if the caller wants to go back to home position, he has to
dial '0'. By default, '0' is used to reach home position from anywhere in the graph. Please note that digit '0'
should not be used for any other destination node while programming graph for an organization.

If 'Route Incoming Calls to Root Node' option is enabled on the port then instead of greeting the caller and
playing welcome message, VMS will directly take the caller to the Root Node.

1. In hotel mode, following welcome message will be played:


Welcome! Please dial the room number. To leave message for the guest, press 6. To go to operator, press 9. To
disconnect, press #.

ETERNITY ME/GE/PE VMS Card V4 System Manual 9


Organization of VMS Card
VMS has few main logical entities and concepts viz. Station, Extension, Mailbox, Port, Graph, Node, Home Position
and Call Transfer Types. Each of these is defined below with their inter-relationships.

Station: It is a logical entity of the system which logically connects VMS with the extensions of the PBX. The
VMS supports maximum 512 stations. This effectively means that maximum of 512 extensions of the PBX can
be assigned stations of the VMS.

Port: It is a logical entity of the VMS card which signifies the number of simultaneous calls between VMS and
the PBX. ETERNITY GE VMS card and ETERNITY ME VMS card supports 8 ports as well as 16 ports.

Mailbox: It is an explicit memory space in the VMS where Voice messages of the Mailbox owner are stored.
Mailbox is always assigned to a station. Only one mailbox can be assigned to a station.

Extension: It is not a logical entity of VMS. Rather, it is a logical entity of the PBX system to which VMS is
connected. An extension of the PBX system is assigned to a station of the VMS. Maximum one extension of the
PBX can be assigned to one station of the VMS. However, multiple stations of the VMS can be assigned to the
same extension of the PBX. This flexibility of VMS offers a unique feature whereby multiple users of the PBX
system sharing only one physical extension of the PBX (due to lack of PBX resources) can own independent
station and mailbox.

Graph: It is a logical roadmap within the system which enables the caller to easily navigate through the system
to reach the desired person in an organization. Graph can also be viewed as a logical and meaningful
association of the nodes.

Node: It is a logical stopover point in a graph where some activity like making a decision, leaving a message,
accessing information etc. is made. The VMS has four types of nodes viz. Menu Node, Transfer Node, Message
Node and Information Node.

6-node graph:

Root Node
1

‘1’
2
‘5’
‘2’
Message ‘4’ 6
Node ‘3’
3 Transfer
5 Node
4
Information Transfer
Node Node
Transfer
Node

Call Transfer Types: Call Transfer Type is an attribute of a station. This attribute signifies the method by which
the call is to be transferred to this station. VMS offers five types of Call Transfer viz. None, Blind, Wait for Ring,
Wait for Answer and Screen.

Configuration Reports and Status Reports: VMS can be programmed using Web Jeeves as well as by
making a voice call. The programming done in the system can be viewed in Web Jeeves. It is possible to get
configuration reports. It is also possible to get Mailbox status report as well as Error Reports.

10 ETERNITY ME/GE/PE VMS Card V4 System Manual


Programming VMS Card
VMS can be programmed by the System Engineer as well as the Mailbox Owner. However, the System Engineer
can configure all the parameters of the VMS whereas the Mailbox Owner can configure only parameters of his own
mailbox like call transfer type, message redirection, message notification etc. (Please refer “Mailbox Parameters”
for more details.)

VMS offers two methods to the System Engineer for programming the system. The SE can program the VMS either
using system commands or Web Jeeves.

Programming the VMS using System Command


• Call VMS  VMS responds with a greeting followed by Welcome Message.
• Dial *19 to enter programming mode  VMS prompts: "Enter the programming password". (Enprgpwd.wav)
• Enter programming password (By default, programming password is 1234)  VMS prompts: "Enter the
programming command". (Entcmd.wav)
• Enter Programming command  VMS responds with "Command has been executed". (Okcmd.wav)
• Dial 00-#* to exit programming mode  VMS takes the SE to Home Position. The SE may disconnect the
call or do some other activity as guided by VMS at Home Position.
• If the SE enters invalid programming command, VMS responds with "Programming command you
entered is not valid" (Invalcmd.wav) followed by the prompt: "Enter the programming command".
(Entcmd.wav)
• If the SE does not enter any command till first digit wait time expiry, the VMS again prompts: "Enter the
programming command". (Entcmd.wav) If the SE still does not dial any programming command, VMS
takes the SE to the Home Position.
• If the SE enters wrong SE password, the VMS responds with 'Invalid password' followed by the prompt
Enter the programming password". (Enprgpwd.wav) VMS allows three (programmable) invalid password
entries before it disconnects the call. (Please refer 'SE/Mailbox login retry count' in the topic “System
Parameters”).

Please note that on issuing the command for card default or changing network parameter, the VMS card
restarts.

Programming the VMS using Web Jeeves


To program VMS using Web Jeeves, you must follow the steps given below first to access the Web Jeeves:

• Connect a computer to the Ethernet port of the VMS. (You may also connect the Ethernet port of VMS to a
LAN switch)

Switching ON the VMS Card
After inserting the VMS card in the slot of PBX, switch ON the power supply.

At Power ON:
• All LEDs are OFF.

• L1 LED glow green as soon as initialization process starts. Initialization process starts after approximately
100 seconds.

• After approximately 80 seconds of glowing of L1, all LEDs will follow the sequence as under:
Glow Green-500 ms  Glow Red- 500 ms  Glow Orange-500 ms  LEDs OFF

In Normal Condition:
• 'L1' LED will blink green (1 sec ON-1 sec OFF). All other LEDs are OFF.

• 'L1' LED will blink red (1 sec ON-1 sec OFF) when there is a File System Error.

• 'L1' LED will blink red 5 times (100ms ON-100ms OFF) in 1 sec ON and 1 sec OFF sequence when there
is a Pen Drive error.

• SE should issue command 1152#* to stop the Error LED indication. This serves as an acknowledgement of
error by the SE.

LEDs of VMS Card of ETERNITY PE are located inside the Card and are not visible on the Fascia and
therefore you will not be able to see the LED behavior pattern of this card. If necessary, open the system
enclosure to see the LED behavior for troubleshooting.

After switching On the VMS card, SE is recommended to program the customer profile first (Please refer 'Customer
Profile' for more details) and then program other features of the VMS Card in the following sequence:
1. Network Port Parameters. (Not applicable if SE program the VMS card using commands)
2. PBX Interface Parameters (If using Matrix Eternity having software version below version 7)
3. Country Code
4. Station Parameters.
5. Call Transfer Types.
6. Port Parameters.
7. System Parameters.
8. Mailbox Parameters.
9. Graphs and Nodes.
10. Greetings and Welcome Messages etc.

Detailed description of configuration of all the parameters of VMS card and steps to use various features are
explained in the respective topics under the chapter “Features of VMS Card”.

Restart VMS Card


Sometimes it becomes necessary for the SE/User to restart the card. Many a times it is difficult to walk to the
system and restart it. VMS card gives facility to issue a command in SE mode to restart the card from an extension
of PBX. This command gives the same effect as switching OFF the card and switching it ON again.

Use the following command to restart the system:

Broadcasting messages means sending messages to number of stations simultaneously. VMS provides such a
feature and it is useful when a common message like hosting of an event, announcing a sudden holiday, informing
about a seminar etc. is to be delivered to all the stations having mailboxes at the same time. This feature can be
programmed from SE mode only.

How to use?
Follow the steps given below to Broadcast Message:

• Call VMS  VMS responds with: "You have <n> new messages" followed by the prompt: "Enter your
mailbox password". (Enterpwd.wav)
• Dial *19  VMS prompts: "Enter the programming password". (Entprgpwd.wav)
• Enter programming password (By default, programming password is 1234)  VMS prompts: "Enter the
programming command". (Entcmd.wav)
• Dial 9900-#*  VMS prompts: "Record your message after the beep and press any digit to end".
(Recmsg.wav)
• Speak to record your message after the beep and press any digit to end the message.
• VMS prompts: "To re-record the message press 1, to confirm press 2". (RecAgain.wav)
• Dial 2 to confirm  VMS responds with "Your message has been sent." (Msgsent.wav)
• If you press '1', the VMS prompts: "Record your message after the beep and press any digit to end"
(Recmsg.wav). To move further, follow the prompts.
• Dial 00-#* to exit programming mode.
• If Message Verification is disabled, the SE is not offered the chance to re-record the message. Rather
the message is sent to all the mailboxes and VMS plays prompt 'Msgsent.wav'.

Please note that maximum length of the message to be broadcasted can be equal to or less than the
minimum of message length programmed for the mailboxes. For e.g. if the Maximum message length for a
mailbox is programmed = 15 seconds, then maximum length of message to be broadcast can be less than
or at the most equal to 15 seconds. Rest of the message (i.e. greater than 15 seconds in this case) shall be
ignored and message of maximum 15 seconds shall be broadcast.

Call Transfer Types
VMS transfers the call to the station depending upon the call transfer type assigned to that particular station. The
VMS offers five types of Call Transfer viz. None, Blind, Wait for Ring, Wait for Answer and Screen.

Call Transfer Types for both, stations with mailbox and stations without mailbox is explained below:

For Stations with Mailbox


• None: In this type of call transfer, the VMS does not check the status of the extension and directly takes the
caller to the mailbox of the station. The caller can leave the message in the mailbox.

• Blind: In this type of call transfer, the VMS transfers the call to the dialed extension without checking the
status of the extension.

• Wait for Ring: When the caller dials the extension number, the VMS keeps the caller on hold and dials the
extension number. If the extension is free and rings, VMS transfer the call to the called party else the caller
is taken to the mailbox and is asked to leave the message.

• Wait for Answer: When the caller dials the extension number, the VMS keeps the caller on hold and dial the
extension number. If the extension is free and answers the call, VMS transfers the call to the called party. If
the extension is busy or does not respond within the time set for Wait for Answer Timer then the VMS takes
the caller to the mailbox and asks him to leave the message.

• Screen: When the caller dials the extension number, the VMS asks the caller to record his name. Then it
holds the caller and dials the extension number. If extension is free and answers the call, the VMS informs
the name of the caller to the dialed extension and prompts the called person to select whether to talk or not.
If the called person selects to talk, the VMS transfers the call to the called person else it takes caller to the
mailbox and asks him to leave a message.

For Stations without Mailbox


• None: In this type of call transfer, the VMS does not check the status of the extension and plays the
message "Sorry the call couldn't be attended" to the caller and then takes the caller to the Home Node.

• Blind: In this type of call transfer, the VMS transfers the call to the dialed extension without checking the
status of the extension. If the dialed number is busy, the caller gets the busy tone whereas if it is ringing, it
gets ringing tone. If the dialed extension is out of order, the caller gets error tone of the PBX.

• Wait for Ring: When the caller dials the extension number, the VMS keeps the caller on hold and dials the
extension number. If the extension is free and rings, VMS transfer the call to the called party else the caller
is taken to the Home Node.

• Wait for Answer: When the caller dials the extension number, the VMS keeps the caller on hold and dials
the extension number. If the extension is free and answers the call, the VMS transfers the call to the called
party else the caller is taken to the Home Node.

• Screen: When the caller dials the extension number, the VMS asks the caller to record his name. Then it
holds the caller and dials the extension number. If extension is free and answers the call, the VMS informs
the name of the caller to the dialed extension and prompts the called person to select whether to talk or not.

28 ETERNITY ME/GE/PE VMS Card V4 System Manual


If the called person selects to talk, the VMS transfers the call to the called person else it takes the caller to
Home Node.

Programming Call Transfer Type


Call Transfer Type can be programmed for each station separately. Both SE and Mailbox Owner can change the
call transfer type. Mailbox Owner can change Call Transfer Type through mailbox settings. (Please refer “Managing
Mailbox” for more details). SE can program Call Transfer Type either by issuing commands or using Web Jeeves.

Programming using System Commands


(Please refer “Station Parameters” for programming Call Transfer Type using System Commands.)

Programming using Web Jeeves


(Please refer “Station Parameters” for programming Call Transfer Type using Web Jeeves.)

In 'Screen' type of call transfer, the caller is given 5 seconds to record his/ her name after the beep.

ETERNITY ME/GE/PE VMS Card V4 System Manual 35


Customer Profile
VMS Card finds its application in different work environments. It is designed in such a way that it meets the
requirements of an Enterprise as well as a Hotel-Motel industry.

Depending on the type of work environment in which the VMS Card is installed, SE should program the customer
profile before programming other features of the VMS Card.

Enterprise Mode:
By default, Customer profile is set to 'Enterprise' in the VMS Card. Hence, if the system is installed in an Enterprise
there is no need to change the Customer profile. After that he is recommended to program the system in the
sequence mentioned earlier in chapter 3. (Please refer “Switching ON the VMS Card” topic in 'Getting Started'
chapter.)

Detailed programming of various parameters of VMS Card and their default values are mentioned under the
respective topics.

Hotel Mode:
If VMS Card is installed in a Hotel or a Motel, SE should change customer profile to 'Hotel' mode. By default, it is set
to 'Enterprise'. When the customer profile is changed to 'Hotel' mode then the default values of parameters relating
to the Hotel-Motel application will be loaded in the system.

When the customer profile is set to 'Hotel' mode in the VMS Card then the default values of following parameters
will change.

1. Time Table

VMS Card gives flexibility to program different working hours for each day of the week. It also gives flexibility
to program a table of Holidays. But in case of hotel application, there would be no non-working hours and no
holiday is observed in the hotel business. Thus, in 'Date and Time Settings' feature, the default time
programmed in working hour table shall change as shown below:

By default, working hour table is as shown below:

Time Zones/ Working Hours


Weekdays Start End
Sunday 00:00 23:59
Monday 00:00 23:59
Tuesday 00:00 23:59
Wednesday 00:00 23:59
Thursday 00:00 23:59
Friday 00:00 23:59
Saturday 00:00 23:59

By default, holiday table would be blank. (Please refer “Date and Time Settings” for programming this
feature).

36 ETERNITY ME/GE/PE VMS Card V4 System Manual


2. Mailbox Size

Mailbox is the explicit memory space in the VMS Card where the messages are stored. Each mailbox has
two attributes: Mailbox Size (in minutes) and Maximum Message Length (in seconds).
When the VMS Card is installed in a hotel, SE shall program the size of each mailbox as per the requirement
of the Hotel. By default, the mailbox size is set to 300 minutes for all mailboxes.

(Please refer “Mailbox Parameters” feature for programming mailbox size)

3. Maximum Message Length

VMS Card gives flexibility to the SE to program the maximum message length for each mailbox. In hotel
mode, default maximum message length for each mailbox is set to 999 seconds i.e. the maximum value.

(Please refer “Mailbox Parameters” feature for programming maximum message length)

4. Ask Mailbox Password

VMS Card provides an option to ask mailbox password to the user every time he login into his mailbox. In
hotel mode, by default this option is set to 'No'.

In a hotel, generally the guests are assigned a mailbox at the time of their check-in into the hotel. Guest
gives their extension number to various people during their stay in the hotel. This facility enables the guest to
receive important messages of the callers left for him in his mailbox when he is busy or not available in the
hotel. Many times it happens that the customer forgets his mailbox password and also it is very cumbersome
to enter mailbox password every time he wants to access his messages. Therefore, to relieve the customer
from entering mailbox password again and again and to enable him to retrieve his messages easily, 'ask
mailbox password at login' option is set to no in hotel mode.

(Please refer “Mailbox Parameters” feature for programming this parameter)

5. Assigning Mailbox to a station

A mailbox can be assigned to the station of the VMS Card. Station 001 to 512 is assigned the mailbox 001 to
512 respectively, i.e. Station 001 is assigned mailbox number 001, Station 002 is assigned mailbox number
002 …….Station 512 is assigned mailbox number 512. By default, in hotel mode 'Mailbox Required' flag
is enabled for all the stations.

(Please refer “Station Parameters” feature for programming this parameter)

6. To Post Check-in Welcome Message

In hotel mode, by default the flag for posting welcome message at the time of check-in of the guest is
enabled.

Generally the guests are assigned a mailbox at the time of their check-in into the hotel. Guest gives their
extension number to various people during their stay in the hotel. Thus callers are taken to this mailbox to
leave a message if the guest is busy or unavailable when the caller calls. This facility enables the guest to
receive important messages of the callers left for him in the mailbox when he is busy or not available in the
hotel.

(Please refer “System Parameters” feature for programming this parameter)

ETERNITY ME/GE/PE VMS Card V4 System Manual 37


7. Programming Welcome Messages for each port

VMS Card gives flexibility to program Welcome Message for three time slots for each port. In hotel mode,
by default Welcome message number 04 will be played at all the ports for all the three time slots.
Welcome Message No. File Name Message
Welcome! Please dial the room number. To leave message
Welmsg04.wav
04 for the guest, press 6. To go to operator, press 9. To
(Hotel)
disconnect, press #.

(Please refer “Port Parameters” feature for programming welcome message for each port.)

8. Extension Number Validation

In hotel mode, Extension Number Validation flag is disabled (by default). In hotel application, caller can
dial the room number or the extension number of the guest. If this flag is enabled in the VMS Card then the
caller will not be able to reach the desired person by dialing his room number thus this flag is disabled for
hotel application. (Please refer “Dial by Extension Number” for more details)

Programming Customer Profile

Programming using System Commands:


Use following command to program the customer profile:
1165-Customer Profile-#*
Where,

ETERNITY ME/GE/PE VMS Card V4 System Manual 39


Date and Time Settings
Date and Time is one of the important parameter of VMS Card.

Different greetings are played according to the time of the day and also special greetings are played on holidays
and at the time of festivals. Welcome Messages are also played depending on the date and time of the VMS.

Date and time in VMS card cannot be programmed separately for VMS card because it is received from the master
card of ETERNITY (PBX).

Programming Time Table


VMS enables SE/User to program working hours for week days and time table of holidays. Time table can be
programmed using System Command as well as using Web Jeeves.

Programming using System Command


To program working hours for week days:
VMS gives flexibility to program different working hours for each day of the week. Hence, it is possible to program
Saturday as a weekly off or a half-day or a complete working day.

Time Zones/ Working Hours


Weekdays Start End
Sunday HH:MM HH:MM
Monday HH:MM HH:MM
Tuesday HH:MM HH:MM
Wednesday HH:MM HH:MM
Thursday HH:MM HH:MM
Friday HH:MM HH:MM
Saturday HH:MM HH:MM

Use following command to program working hours for each week day in VMS card:
1113-Day-Start Time-End Time-#*
Where,
Day is any day of the week as per following table:
Sun Mon Tue Wed Thu Fri Sat
1 2 3 4 5 6 7

Start Time is Time Zone start time in 24-hour, Hour: Minute format. HH = 00 to 23 and MM = 00 to 59.
End Time is Time Zone end time in 24 hour, Hour: Minute format. HH = 00 to 23 and MM = 00 to 59.

The non-working hours need not be programmed as the VMS card automatically considers the left over
duration as non-working hours.

When VMS card is installed in a hotel .i.e. when customer profile is set to hotel mode in VMS card, there
would be no non-working hours as hotel works for 24 hours 7 days a week

40 ETERNITY ME/GE/PE VMS Card V4 System Manual


By default, working hour table is as shown below3:

Time Zones/ Working Hours Non-Working Hours


Weekdays Start End Start End

MM format for e.g. National holidays like 15th August, 26th January etc. Maximum 10 holidays can be
entered.

42 ETERNITY ME/GE/PE VMS Card V4 System Manual


Dial by Extension Number
VMS facilitates caller to reach directly the desired person in an organization by dialing the extension number of that
person at Home Position. However, to accomplish this, SE should assign all the extension numbers of the PBX to
the stations of the VMS.

• If only one station is associated to the extension number dialed, VMS transfers the call to the dialed
extension.

• If more than one station is associated to the dialed extension, VMS plays the name of all the station users
one by one. To select the desired person, caller should dial '1' after the name of that person. VMS shall
transfer the call as per call transfer type programmed for the selected station.

VMS also facilitates validation of the extension numbers dialed by the caller. Some times it is observed that the
PBX has more than 512 extensions and since VMS supports only 512 stations, only 512 extensions of the PBX can
be reached by the external caller. To remove this limitation, VMS supports a parameter viz. 'Extension Number
Validation flag'.

• If enabled, VMS compares the extension number dialed by the external caller with the programmed
extension numbers in VMS. If the match is not found, VMS responds with a message 'Invalid Number'
(Invalno.wav) message.
• If disabled, VMS does not compare the extension number dialed by the external caller with the programmed
extension numbers in VMS. By default, 'Extension Number Validation Flag' is enabled. Hence, in case more
than 512 extensions of the PBX are to be reached by the external caller, it is recommended to disable
'Extension Number Validation Flag'.

Programming Dial by Extension Number

Dial By Name
VMS facilitates caller to reach the desired person in an organization by dialing the name of that person. This feature
will be helpful in case the caller forgets the extension number of the person with whom he wants to talk to.

However, abbreviated names of all the station users should be programmed by the SE to use this feature. It is
recommended that the station names are abbreviated to the first three alphabets of the name. For example,
Ganesh is abbreviated to GAN and Ramesh is abbreviated to RAM. In case two persons have same name in an
organization, SE should program their station names by differentiating them by their last names. For example,
Sanjay Shah can be abbreviated to SAS and Sanjay Patel can be abbreviated to SAP. The SE should record this in
the prompt message and guide the caller for the same.

Programming Abbreviated Name


Abbreviated names can be programmed for each station separately. Programming of abbreviated name can be
done either by System Command or using Web Jeeves.

Distribution List
Distribution list is a group of stations with mailbox. Distribution list helps the user to send message to a particular
group of people in an organization or a department simultaneously.
• Distribution list may comprise of all members of a department.
• Distribution list may comprise of all the heads of the department.
• Distribution list may comprise of all the managers of an organization etc.

Any station with mailbox can be programmed in the distribution list. Maximum 99 distribution lists can be formed
(001 to 099) and each distribution list can have maximum 100 stations with mailbox.

Programming Distribution List


To program Distribution List, decide the station users with mailbox owners to be included in the distribution list.

Programming using System Command


Use following command to program stations with mailbox in the Distribution List:
1401-Distribution List Index-Member Number-Station Number-#*
Where,
Distribution List Index is from 001 to 099.
Member Number is from 001 to 100.
Station Number is from 000 to 512.

Example: To program a distribution list that includes Ramesh: station 001, Rakesh: station 011, Mahesh: station
033 and Suresh: station 034, use the commands given below:
For Ramesh: 1401-001-01-001-#*
For Rakesh: 1401-001-02-011-#*
For Mahesh: 1401-001-03-033-#*
For Suresh: 1401-001-04-034-#*

Use following command to set flag for sending message to Distribution List immediately:
1149-Flag-#*
Where,

Flag Meaning

0 Disable

1 Enable

By default, this flag is disabled.

When the flag for sending message to Distribution List immediately is enabled and if any message is to be
sent to the distribution list then, until the message is sent:
• System will not answer any call
• All existing calls will be disconnected
• All other application viz., SMTP, Web Jeeves, etc. will be stopped.

After completion of this process, VMS Card will start working normally again.
• If notification through email is set for the mailbox user programmed in the distribution list, VMS will send
notification email to the destination mailbox after the message is delivered to all the members of the
distribution list.

48 ETERNITY ME/GE/PE VMS Card V4 System Manual


Use following command to take Report of the Distribution List:
1400-Distribution List Index-#*
Distribution List Index is from 001 to 099.

Programming using Web Jeeves:


• Click on 'Distribution Lists' link and program the desired stations in the distribution lists. You can program
maximum 100 members in one distribution list.

• Click on 'System Parameters' link and tick to enable 'Send Messages to Distribution List immediately'
flag, if you want to send message to distribution list promptly. By default, this flag is Untick i.e. disabled.

• If same station is programmed twice in a distribution list, the VMS will send the same message two
times to the same station.
• Distribution lists are from 001-099 so extension starting from 0 is considered as part of distribution list
and not an extension. In this case, if SE wants to use extension number starting with 0, he has to
program the same into any of distribution list also.

Forwarding Messages
VMS gives facility to the mailbox owner to forward messages of his mailbox to other mailboxes. VMS offers the
mailbox owner two options for forwarding messages:
1. Forwarding messages without adding a comment and,
2. Forwarding messages after adding a comment.

VMS offers a feature of 'message read receipt'. Before forwarding the message, VMS asks the sender whether he
needs confirmation about the message being read by the recipient. If the sender request for 'message read receipt',
VMS remembers it and when the recipient reads the message, VMS generates a file containing first 5 seconds of
the message that was sent by the sender and delivers it to the sender's mailbox in form of a new message
enveloped with a prompt: "This message was read by <Station Name><5 seconds of the message sent>" with date
and time at which the message was read. (if Date and Time stamp is enabled).

In case the message is not delivered to the recipient, then the VMS generates a file containing first 5 seconds of the
message that was sent by the sender and delivers it to the sender's mailbox in form of new message enveloped
with a prompt: "This message was not delivered to <Station Name><5 seconds of the message>" with date and
time (if Date and Time stamp is enabled).

How to use?
• Call VMS  VMS responds to internal caller with: "You have <n> new messages" followed by "Enter your
mailbox password" (Enterpwd.wav)
• Enter your mailbox password  VMS responds with: "You have 0/n new messages". (Nonewmsg.wav/
Newmsg.wav)
• VMS prompts: "To listen to new messages press '1', to listen to old message press '2', to send a message
press '3', to change your mailbox settings press '4', to go to home position press '0'". (Mmmm.wav)
• Dial 1/2 and listen to the messages  VMS prompts: "To replay the message press '1', for Date and Time
stamp press '2', to delete the message press '3', to play the next message press '4', to forward the
message press '5', to save the message as new press '6', to go to previous menu press '0'." (Mmsmo.wav)
• Dial 5  VMS prompts: "To forward the message without comment press '1', to forward the message with
comment press '2', to go to previous menu press '0'." (Fwdhow.wav)
• To forward message without comment dial '1'. VMS prompts: "Enter the Destinations". (Msgdest.wav). Dial
Destination numbers/Distribution list number to forward the message to the dialed destination.

OR

• To forward message with comment dial '2'. VMS prompts: "Enter the Destinations". (Msgdest.wav) Dial
Destinations/Distribution list number to forward the message.
• VMS prompts: "Record your message after the beep and press any digit to end." (Recmsg.wav)
• Speak to record the message and press a digit to end. VMS prompts: "To re-record the message press '1',
to confirm press '2'." (RecAgain.wav) Dial 2 to confirm.
• VMS prompts: "To request read receipt press '1', to ignore read receipt press '2'." (Askcfrm.wav)
• Dial 1/2. VMS responds with "Your message has been sent". (Msgsent.wav)
• If the mailbox of the recipient is full or message could not be delivered to the recipient, VMS responds with:
"Sorry the message cannot be sent." (Pending.wav) and then play 'Mmmm.wav' message.

1. Mailbox owner should take care to enter the valid destinations. If invalid destination is entered then
the VMS will clear all the entries and will ask the mailbox owner to re-enter all the destinations
again.
2. A message can be forwarded to maximum 10 destinations. A destination can be a station as well as a
distribution list.

Graphs and Nodes

Graph
Graph is a logical and meaningful association of various nodes. Caller reaches root node by dialing '0' at home
position. Root node is the entry point of the graph. At root node, various options like accessing Company
information, posting a query, calling a department etc is offered to the caller. Caller has to decide his path by dialing
digits.

In VMS maximum 4 graphs can be set ranging from 1 to 4. A graph can be programmed port wise. It can have
maximum 64 nodes ranging form 01 to 64. A graph initiates from the root node and traverse through many menu
nodes. A graph can terminate either at information node or a message node or a transfer node but never at a menu
node. A single digit codes are used to navigate within a graph.

Following figure gives a logical representation of graphs:

6-node graph:
Root Node
1

‘1’
2
‘5’
‘2’
Message ‘4’ 6
Node ‘3’
3 Transfer
5 Node
4
Information Transfer
Node Node
Transfer
Node

As shown in the above figure:


• Dialing '1' at root node will take caller to the Message Node.
• Dialing '2' at root node will take caller to the Information Node.
• Dialing '3', '4' and '5' at root node will take caller to the Transfer Node.

The caller has to dial appropriate digits while traversing through the graph to reach the desired destination. While
traversing through the graph, VMS prompts the caller at every step so as to enable him to reach the desired
destination.

Node
A node is an arbitrary point in a graph where some activity like making a decision, leaving a message, accessing
information etc. is made. The VMS has four types of nodes:
1. Menu Node.
2. Transfer Node.
3. Message Node.
4. Information Node.

Each node has a voice file (a prompt of maximum 60 seconds.) attached to it. When the caller traverses through
the graph, at each node the VMS plays the prompt attached to it. For example, at menu node VMS plays the
prompt related to menu options. At information node, the VMS plays the information prompt. At transfer node since
no prompt is required, the VMS simply transfers the call to the designated destination. The user can program the
prompt of his choice at each node.

ETERNITY ME/GE/PE VMS Card V4 System Manual 59


Menu Node
• Menu node is the arbitrary point in the graph at which the VMS presents few options in form of a voice
prompt to the caller to further navigate through the graph. Since the caller is given a menu to select from, it
is called a menu node.
• The first Menu node is Root node. There are many menu nodes in a graph.
• Different prompt can be recorded for each menu node.
• A caller can be offered 9 options at a menu node. Digits 1 to 9 can be programmed as the keys to traverse
from one node to another. However, the digit programmed for traversing to the home position should not be
used for any other destination node. By default, '0' is used for traversing to the home position.

Message Node
• Message node is an arbitrary point in the graph at which the VMS prompts the caller to leave a message.
Message node can be reached only from a menu node.
• After listening message at the message node, caller has four options: to record a message, to go to Home
Position, to go to Operator, or to disconnect. Graph can be terminated at the message node.
• Different prompt can be recorded for each message node. Generally message node can be used for Order
Booking, Telemarketing, Complaint registration etc. Each message node is linked to a mailbox wherein
caller can store the message.
• Message node does two jobs i.e. delivering information as well as taking messages.
• The mailboxes used for messages nodes are consumed from the total (511 + 1) mailboxes provided by the
system. Hence if two message nodes are used, then only 509 stations can have mailboxes. One being
general mailbox.

Transfer Node
• Transfer node is an arbitrary point in the graph form where the VMS takes the caller to a specific extension.
• Transfer node can be reached only form a menu node.
• At transfer node, the call is directed as per the call transfer type of the station. If the station at transfer node
has mailbox facility, then the VMS plays four options to the caller to leave a message, to go to home
position, to go to operator or to disconnect. Graph can be terminated at the transfer node.
• Transfer node can be used for accessing a department, Helpline, knowing product availability, etc.
• Each transfer node is linked to an extension.

Information Node
• Information node is an arbitrary point in the graph at which the VMS delivers some information to the caller.
• Information node can be reached only form a menu node.
• At information node, the caller has three options: to go to home position, to go to operator or to quit. Graph
can be terminated at information node too.
• Different prompt can be recorded for each information node. Events for which information node is used are
Company Profile, Company News, Product Information, Company's Distribution Network etc.

Programming Graphs and Nodes


Before programming Graph for a port, it is advisable to program the following parameters:

To program station-extension relationship:


(Please refer “Station Parameters”.)

To program the station name:


(Please refer “Station Parameters”.)

60 ETERNITY ME/GE/PE VMS Card V4 System Manual


To record the station name:
(Please refer “Station Parameters”.)

To assign a mailbox to a station:


(Please refer “Station Parameters”.)

Programming using System Commands


Draw graph structure for the organization:

Decide a simple and easy flow to access maximum number of extensions and stations of an organization. Draw a
graph for this flow. Prepare a clear and unambiguous graph to make caller feel comfortable while traversing the
graph.

1. Graph should be very simple to understand.


2. Graph should be very easy to traverse.
3. Graph should have optimum number of nodes.
4. Too small a graph will make the graph complex and confuse the caller.
5. Too big a graph will also make a graph complex and the caller will lose patience and feel
uncomfortable.
6. Though nine options are available at each menu node, it is advisable to give only 3-4 options at the
menu node. The caller might forget the first option by the time he listens the whole prompt.

Assign node number to each node in the graph:


Assign a node number to each node starting from 01. A graph can have maximum 64 nodes.

Make a table relating node number and the node type:


For Example:
Node Number Node Type
1 Menu
2 Information
3 Message
4 Transfer

Define node type for each node:


Use following command to define node type for each node:

Please note that customized prompts cannot be played at transfer node. Hence no need to record a prompt at
transfer nodes.

Verify the recorded prompt using command 1803-Graph-Node-#*.

On giving this command the VMS plays back the recorded prompts.
To re-record any prompt, issue the command 1802-Graph-Node-#*.

Programming using Web Jeeves


• Click on 'Graphs' link. Program the following parameters:

• Node Number: A graph has maximum 64 nodes.

• Node Type: Select 'Node Type' for each node in the graph.
• Select Node Type = Menu, if you wish to give more options to the user at this point in the graph. Doing
so, the fields viz. 'Station Number' and 'Mailbox Number' will become un-editable whereas the field viz.
'Destination Node for the Digits' will become editable. Assign destination nodes to which you wish the
caller to direct on pressing digits 1 to 9.
• Select Node Type = Information, if you wish to give some information to the caller. Doing so, all the three
fields viz. 'Station Number', 'Mailbox Number' and 'Destination Node for the Digits' will become un-
editable.
• Select Node Type = Message, if you wish to give an option to the user to leave a message at this point in
the graph. Doing so, the fields viz. 'Station Number' and 'Destination Node for the Digits' will become un-
editable. Enter 'Mailbox Number' that is to be assigned to the Message node.

ETERNITY ME/GE/PE VMS Card V4 System Manual 67


• Select Node Type = Transfer, if you wish to give an option to the user to reach the desired extension of
the PBX by dialing a single digit. Doing so, the fields viz. Transfer: 'Mailbox Number' and 'Destination
Node for the Digits' will become un-editable. Program 'Station Number' to which the call is to be
transferred.

• Station Number: Assign a unique station number for each transfer node.

• Mailbox Number: Assign unique mailbox to each message node. Please ensure that the mailbox assigned
to a message node is not assigned to any station user.

• Destination Node for the Digits: Assign destination node number for each digit at Menu node. By default,
the destination node number is '00' for all the digits at menu node. To de-assign a destination node for a
particular digit at menu node, program '00' for that digit.

1. At any menu node if the caller dials a digit, which is not programmed to go to any other node, it goes
to home node.
2. At any menu node if the caller does not dial any digit till 'time out', then the VMS plays the prompt:
"Dial '0' to go to home node or any other digit to disconnect."
3. At home node if the caller dials invalid digits, then the VMS plays the prompt: "The number is not
valid" (Invalno.wav) and the caller remains at the home node.
4. At home node if caller does not dial any digit till time out, then the VMS takes the caller to Operator
(Default).
5. If the PBX supports the feature of Pilot Group (Group Call), then while programming a graph,
'extension' can be replaced by a code used to make a group call in a PBX.
6. Please note that the VMS does not have an extension number of its own. The caller has to dial
the extension number of the PBX only to reach the desired person in the organization. This gives a
unique advantage to the user in terms of allowing him to keep same extension number for the station
user even after routing the calls through the VMS. The caller need not remember two different
numbers to call the same person in an organization.
7. If no message (prompts) is recorded at any of the menu nodes, default node message: "This node
does not have a message" (N.wav) will be played.
8. Digit '0' is a programmable code in the graph structure to go to Home node. This digit should not
match with the disconnect string else caller would not be able to go to the Home node and will get
disconnected.

Listening to Messages
Callers leave messages in the mailbox of the user when they are inaccessible or the user has forwarded his calls to
the mailbox. User should access their mailboxes to listen to the messages.

VMS offers two options:


• To listen to old messages.
• To listen to new messages.

Once the message is heard by the mailbox owner, VMS treats it as an old message and places it in the old
message list. VMS also gives a facility to save the heard message as a new one and every-time the mailbox is
accessed the VMS plays such 'save-as-new' message as a new message.

How to Use?
Follow the steps given below for listening messages in the mailbox:
• Call VMS.
• VMS responds with: "You have <n> new messages" followed by the prompt: "Enter your mailbox password".
(Enterpwd.wav)
• Enter your mailbox password  VMS prompts: "You have n new/no new messages."
• VMS prompts: "To listen to new messages press '1', to listen to old messages press '2', to send a message
press '3', to change your mailbox settings press '4', to go to home position press '0'." (Mmmm.wav)
• Dial 1 to listen to new messages or dial 2 to listen to old messages.

Mailbox Parameters
Mailbox is an explicit memory space in the VMS where the messages are stored. It is associated with a station of
an extension. VMS supports 512 mailbox and 254 messages per mailbox.

VMS has three types of mailboxes:


• Personal
• General
• Message-Drop

Personal Mailbox
• A personal mailbox is assigned to a station user by the SE and is maintained by the mailbox owner.
• The caller can leave messages in the personal mailbox of the station user when the station user is either
busy or unavailable.
• Mailbox owner can access his mailbox using mailbox password from within the organization as well as
from outside the organization.
• If SE sets 'Ask Mailbox Password at Login' field to No then mailbox owner will be able to access his
mailbox without password.

General Mailbox
• General mailbox is always assigned to an extension. One or more stations may be associated with such
an extension.
• In case the personal mailbox of any station user gets full, further messages of such an user is spilled over
in the general mailbox by default and error is recorded in the error register in the form of a record.
• A printout of the error register is taken by the SE and he takes corrective actions to solve the error.
• Mailbox number 512 is the general mailbox.

Message-Drop Mailbox
• Message-drop mailbox is assigned to an extension at which message node is programmed in the VMS.
• Unlike personal mailbox, message-drop mailbox can be accessed by all the people in an organization who
shares message-drop mailbox password.
• When message-drop mailbox gets full further messages to be stored in message-drop mailbox will spill
over to the general mailbox by default.

Each mailbox has two attributes:


1. Mailbox Size (in minutes)
2. Maximum Message Length (in seconds)

Each mailbox have maximum of 254 fix messages like:


• Mailbox greetings
• Mail delivery option in mailbox full condition
• Date and Time Stamp with the message
• External message notification etc.

All these features are programmable by the mailbox owner as well as SE.

Managing Mailbox
VMS offers flexibility to the mailbox owner to program few features on his own. However, these features can also
be configured by the SE. For more details on how the Mailbox settings can be changed by the SE, please refer
“Mailbox Parameters”.

The Mailbox Owner can:


• Change the Mailbox Password
• Change the Mode - Auto/Manual (Used for Call transfer types and greetings)
• Program the time zones if Auto Mode is selected
• Record greetings
• Enable/Disable Message Notification
• Enable/Disable Date and Time Flag
• Enable/Disable Announcement Flag
• Redirect Messages
• Select Message delivery option in mailbox full condition

Change the Mailbox Password


A Mailbox owner can change his password.
The SE cannot change the mailbox password of a mailbox but can assign a default mailbox password. For more
details, please refer “System Security (Passwords)”.

Change the Mode - Auto/Manual


VMS offers two modes of operation for a Mailbox viz. Auto and Manual.
In Auto mode, the mailbox owner can divide a day into four different time zone viz. Morning, Afternoon, Evening
and Non-working. He can assign different call transfer types and can record different greetings to these four
different time zones. For example, the mailbox owner would like to attend calls from only few callers of his choice
during morning time then he can assign Call transfer - Screen during morning time zone. The mailbox owner can
even record different greetings. For e.g. a mailbox owner can record a message 'Good Afternoon! I shall be back
late evening. Please leave your message' on a specific day.

In Manual mode, the mailbox owner has only one caller transfer type and one greeting.

Message Notification
The Mailbox owner can program his mailbox to notify him on arrival of new messages in his mailbox. On receipt of
a new message, the VMS shall call the mailbox owner on his personal number (number to which notification can be
sent is programmable) and notify him of the arrival of the new message. For more details, please refer “Message
Notification”.

Date and Time Flag


The mailbox owner can know the date and time of message received in his mailbox. He can enable or disable this
feature according to his wish. To program this feature, click on 'Mailbox parameters' page and select option of your
choice. Three options are provided: Enable, Disable and On Demand.

If 'Enable' is selected, VMS plays a message "This message was recorded on <Date> at <Time>" always after
playing the original message.

ETERNITY ME/GE/PE VMS Card V4 System Manual 91


If 'Disable' is selected, VMS plays only the original message and does not play date and time of the message.

If 'On Demand' is selected, then the VMS plays date and time if the mailbox owner chose option to play date and
time stamp after listening to the message.
By default, 'On Demand' is selected.

Announcement Flag
The VMS can play the name of the station user/mailbox user to the caller while transferring the call.
If the Announcement flag is enabled, the VMS shall play a message 'Please hold. Transferring the call to <Station
Name>.
If the Announcement flag is disabled, the VMS shall play a message 'Please hold. Transferring the call.
By default, Announcement is disabled.
The Mailbox user can enable/disable this flag as per his wish.

Message Re-Direction
A Mailbox owner can re-direct his messages to other mailbox. This is useful when the mailbox owner is on vacation
and wants his colleague/sub-ordinate to attend his messages. For more details, please refer “Redirecting
Messages”.

Message Wait
Message Wait feature is used to inform the mailbox owner of arrival of new message. This information is sent to the
extension of the mailbox owner. Whenever there is a new message in the mailbox of the mailbox owner, VMS
sends a string of digits to the PBX to inform it about the arrival of a new message.

The PBX in turn informs the extension of the mailbox owner about the arrival of the new message. This is done in
various ways viz. In the form of LED Lamp or Shuttered dial tone or Voice Message or Periodic ring, etc.

Matrix PBXs provides Message wait indication support through LED Lamp, Shuttered dial tone, Voice Message and
periodic ring. (Message Wait feature depends on the hard configuration of the Card. Please check with specific
PBX type for message wait type).

Redirecting Messages
VMS provides facility to the mailbox owner to re-direct all his messages to some other mailbox. This facility is useful
when the mailbox owner is going out for a long time and would not be able to access his mailbox. In such a
situation VMS facilitates user to redirect his messages to his colleagues' mailbox so that in his absence his
colleague can attend and reply to the important messages.

By default, Message Redirection feature is available for all mailboxes. But destination mailbox where the messages
are to be redirected is not selected. At the time of using this feature, change mailbox password if necessary. Valid

Sending Messages
VMS gives facility to the mailbox owner to send messages to any other mailbox owner. A mailbox owner can send
message to maximum 10 destinations at a time. Mailbox owner can send message either to a specific mailbox or to
a distribution list. It is possible to send message to maximum 100 mailboxes simultaneously. (Provided each
distribution list has 10 stations with mailbox owners.)

VMS also gives facility to the sender to request a read receipt of the message sent. When the recipient reads the
message, the VMS generates a file containing first 5 seconds of the message that was sent and delivers it to the
sender's mailbox in the form of a new message with date and time stamp enveloped with a prompt: "This message
was read by <station name> <5 seconds of message sent>". If the sender ignores "read receipt", no such message
is delivered to the sender.

If the message is not delivered to the recipient, then the VMS generates a file containing first 5 seconds of the
message that was sent by the sender and delivers it to the sender's mailbox in form of a new message enveloping
with a prompt: "This message was not delivered to <Station Name><5 seconds of the message>".

How to use?
• Call VMS.
• VMS responds with: "You have <n> new messages" followed by the prompt: "Enter your mailbox password".
(Enterpwd.wav)
• Enter your mailbox password  VMS prompts: "You have n new/no new messages."

prompts: "To request read receipt press '1', to ignore read receipt press '2'."
• If message verification flag is disabled then VMS will not playback the recorded message.
• Dial 1 to request read receipt of your message else dial 2.
• VMS responds: "Your message has been sent." (Msgsent.wav)
• If message could not be delivered to the specified destination then VMS responds: "Sorry the message
cannot be sent." (Pending.wav)

1. Mailbox owner should take care to enter valid destinations only. If any one of the destination entered is
invalid, the VMS clears all the destinations from the list and asks the caller to enter all the
destinations again.
2. Once if valid destination number is entered and none of the stations is selected, the VMS
understands it to be the end of list and sends the message.

Simple Mail Transfer Protocol
Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) is the standard for e-mail transmission across the internet. It is simple text-
based protocol used to transfer text file as email attachment to the pre-defined e-mail address. Most e-mail service
providers like Yahoo and G-mail provides configuration for configuring e-mail client to send and receive e-mails
using the e-mail id provided.

In VMS Card SMTP is required for sending emails to mailbox users and system engineer or to the email id
programmed, to notify or provide vital information about the events or behavior of the functioning of the Card. For
example, notification of arrival of new messages in the mailbox, notification of USB full condition, etc.

To use this feature, SE should configure different SMTP parameters like:


1. Authentication
2. Enable SSL
3. E-mail ID
4. User ID
5. SMTP Server Address and Port
6. Timers

User ID and User Password


User ID and User Password is used by the E-mail service provider to authenticate the user's account.

SMTP Server Address and Port


Address of SMTP server and port is used to send outgoing mails using SMTP server. If SE does not program the
server port then VMS will use default port value i.e. 25.

Timers
Connection Timeout Interval: It is the time for which VMS will try to connect to the SMTP/POP3 server.

Reconnection Interval: It is the time after which SMTP/POP3 client will retry to establish connection with SMTP/
POP3 server in case the connection is not established.

Station Parameters
Station is a logical port of the VMS. VMS has total 512 stations. Stations are generally linked to an extension of a
PBX. Generally one station is linked to one extension. However, more than one station can also be linked to a
single extension. A station has six attributes:
1. Station Name
2. Extension Number of the PBX
3. Mailbox
4. Call Transfer Type
5. Name Announcement to the Caller
6. Mode of Operation viz. Manual and Scheduled

A mailbox can be attached to a station. A station may or may not be assigned a mailbox depending upon the
requirement. Generally, important persons in the organization are assigned mailbox to their stations whereas
persons with lower hierarchy may not be assigned a mailbox to their station.

Programming Station Parameters

Programming using System Command


Use following command to assign extension of the PBX to a station:
1901-Station-Extension-#*
Where,
Station is form 001 to 512.
Extension is of six digits. Valid digits are 0-9, # and *.
Extension is a valid extension number of the PBX to which call is to be routed.
By default, Extension is Blank.

Use following command to de-assign extension of the PBX to a station:


1901-Station-#*
Where,
Station is form 001 to 512.

Use following command to program abbreviated name of the station:


1903-Station-Abbreviated Name-#*
Where,
Station is form 001 to 512.
Abbreviated name is the name of the station user abbreviated to three characters.
By default, Abbreviated Name is 'Blank' for all stations.

Use following command to clear abbreviated name of the station:
1903-Station-#*
Where,
Station is form 001 to 512.

It is recommended that the SE takes care of following points before programming the abbreviated names
for each station:
1. It is mandatory to abbreviate the name of the station user to three alphabets only.
2. It is better that station names are abbreviated to the first three alphabets of the name. For example,
Ganesh is abbreviated to GAN and Ramesh is abbreviated to RAM.
3. In case two persons have same name in an organization, SE should program their station names by
differentiating them by their last names. For example, Sanjay Shah can be abbreviated to SAS and
Sanjay Patel can be abbreviated to SAP. The SE should record this in the prompt and guide the caller
for the same.

Use following command to assign/De-assign mailbox to a station:


1902-Station-Flag-#*

By default, Mailbox is not assigned to any station.

Use following command to assign mailbox to all the stations:


1902-*-Flag-#*

If mailbox required flag is disabled for a station i.e. if no mailbox is assigned to a station then also the
station user will be able to access his mailbox through mailbox management but no one will be able to
leave message for that station user and thus no new message will arrive in his mailbox.

Use following command to record the name of a station:


1904-Station-#*
Where,
Station is form 001 to 512.
By default, name of the station is Blank.

After issuing this command, VMS responds with the prompt: "Please record your message after the beep, press
any digit to end." SE should dial either any digit to end recording or wait for a minute.

Use following command to playback the recorded name of a station:


1905-Station-#*

System Parameters
In VMS, certain global parameters are to be configured which are related to the entire system and not a specific
port. These parameters are called System Parameters.

From the view point of compatibility of the VMS Card with PBX and its proper functioning, all timers are kept
programmable. These timers are common for all the ports and hence are called System Timers. VMS supports
following System Timers:

First Digit Wait Timer


First Digit Wait Timer is the time for which the VMS waits for the first digit to be dialed after playing the prompt. This
timer is loaded when the VMS prompts the caller to dial a digit to select an option at Home Position/Menu Node etc.

VMS offers two types of first digit wait timer, Viz. First Digit Wait Timer for external caller and First Digit Wait Timer
for mailbox owner. These two different timers are helpful when the speed of pressing digits of the callers and the
mailbox owner is different. The caller may not require more time to decide his destination whereas the mailbox
owner may require more time to decide destination while using features such as forwarding a message, redirecting
a message, etc.

Digit to Digit Wait Timer


This timer signifies the time for which the VMS wait between dialing of two digits. This timer is loaded when the
caller dials the first digit of the extension number and waits for the second digit, while reaching a desired extension.

VMS offers two types of digit to digit wait timer, Viz. Digit to Digit Wait Timer for external caller and Digit to Digit Wait
Timer for the mailbox owner. These two different timers are helpful when the speed of pressing digits of the callers
and the mailbox owner is different. The caller may not require more time to decide his destination whereas the
mailbox owner may require more time to decide his destination extension in case of redirecting the message.

Pause Timer
Pause Timer is the time after which the VMS dials number after dialing flash.

Wait for Answer Timer


Wait for Answer Timer is the time for which the VMS waits for the called person to answer the call. This timer is
useful in case of 'Wait for Answer' and 'Screen' type of Call transfer.

Warranty Statement
Matrix warrants to its consumer purchaser any of its products to be free of defects in material, workmanship and
performance for a period of 15 months from date of manufacturing or 12 months from the date of installation which
ever is earlier. During this warranty period, Matrix will at its option, repair or replace the product at no additional charge
if the product is found to have manufacturing defect. Any replacement product or part/s may be furnished on an
exchange basis, which shall be new or like-new, provided that it has functionality at least equal to that of the product,
being replaced. All replacement parts and products will be the property of Matrix. Parts repaired or replaced will be
under warranty throughout the remainder of the original warranty period only.

This limited warranty does not apply to:


1. Products that have been subjected to abuse, accident, natural disaster, misuse, modification, tampering,
faulty installation, lack of reasonable care, repair or service in any way that is not contemplated in the
documentation for the product, or if the serial number has been altered, tampered with, defaced or removed.
2. Products which have been damaged by lightning storms, water or power surges or which have been
neglected, altered, used for a purpose other than the one for which they were manufactured, repaired by
customer or any party without Matrix's written authorization or used in any manner inconsistent with Matrix's
instructions.
3. Products received improperly packed or physically damaged.
4. Products damaged due to operation of product outside the products' specifications or use without
designated protections.

Warranty valid only if:


Primary protection on all the ports provided.

Matrix assumes that the customer agrees with the warranty terms even when the warranty card is not signed and
returned as suggested.

The Purchaser shall have to bear shipping charges for sending product to Matrix for testing/rectification. The
product shall be shipped to the Purchaser at no-charge if the material is found to be under warranty. The Purchaser
shall have to either insure the product or assume liability for loss or damage during transit. Matrix reserves the right
to waive off or make any changes in its warranty policy without giving any notice.
If Matrix is unable to repair or replace, as applicable, a defective product which is covered by Matrix warranty,
Matrix shall, within a reasonable time after being notified of the defect, refund the purchase price of the product
provided the consumer/purchaser returns the product to Matrix.

In no event will Matrix be liable for any damages including lost profits, lost business, lost savings, downtime or
delay, labor, repair or material cost, injury to person, property or other incidental or consequential damages arising
out of use of or inability to use such product, even if Matrix has been advised of the possibility of such damages or
losses or for any claim by any other party.

Except for the obligations specifically set forth in this Warranty Policy Statement, in no event shall Matrix be liable
for any direct, indirect, special, incidental or consequential damages whether based on contract or any other legal
theory and where advised of the possibility of such damages.

ETERNITY ME/GE/PE VMS Card V4 System Manual 175


Neither Matrix nor any of its distributors, dealers or sub-dealers makes any other warranty of any kind, whether
expressed or implied, with respect to Matrix products. Matrix and its distributors, dealers or sub-dealers specifically

Open Source Licensing Terms and Conditions
• The firmware of this product also includes some of the Open-Source software released under GNU General
Public License (GPL) Version 2. Terms of this license is printed in full below.

GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE


Version 2, June 1991

Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc.,


51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301 USA
Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.

Preamble

The licenses for most software are designed to take away your
freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public
License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free
software--to make sure the software is free for all its users. This
General Public License applies to most of the Free Software
Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to
using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by
the GNU Lesser General Public License instead.) You can apply it to
your programs, too.

When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not


price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it
if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it
in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things.

To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid


anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights.
These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you
distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.

For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether


gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that
you have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the
source code. And you must show them these terms so they know their
rights.

ETERNITY ME/GE/PE VMS Card V4 System Manual 177


We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and
(2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy,
distribute and/or modify the software.

Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain
that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free
software. If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we
want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so
that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original
authors' reputations.

Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software


patents. We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free
program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the
program proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it clear that any
patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all.

The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and


modification follow.

GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE


TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION

0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains


a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed
under the terms of this General Public License. The "Program", below,
refers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program"
means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law:
that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it,
either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another
language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in
the term "modification".) Each licensee is addressed as "you".

Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not


covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of
running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program
is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the
Program (independent of having been made by running the Program).
Whether that is true depends on what the Program does.

1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's


source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you
conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate
copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the
notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty;
and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License
along with the Program.

You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and
you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.

2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion
of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and

178 ETERNITY ME/GE/PE VMS Card V4 System Manual


distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1
above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:

a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices


stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.

b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in
whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any
part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third
parties under the terms of this License.

c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively


when run, you must cause it, when started running for such
interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an
announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a
notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide
a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under
these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this
License. (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but
does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on
the Program is not required to print an announcement.)

These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If


identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program,
and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in
themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those
sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you
distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based
on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of
this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the
entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.

Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest


your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to
exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or
collective works based on the Program.

In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program


with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of
a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under
the scope of this License.

3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it,
under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of
Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:

a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable


source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections
1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,

b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three


years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your
cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete

ETERNITY ME/GE/PE VMS Card V4 System Manual 179


machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be
distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium
customarily used for software interchange; or,

c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer


to distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is
allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you
received the program in object code or executable form with such
an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)

The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for
making modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source
code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any
associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to
control compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a
special exception, the source code distributed need not include
anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary
form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the
operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component
itself accompanies the executable.

If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering


access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent
access to copy the source code from the same place counts as
distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not
compelled to copy the source along with the object code.

4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program


except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt
otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is
void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License.
However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under
this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such
parties remain in full compliance.

5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not
signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or
distribute the Program or its derivative works. These actions are
prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by
modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the
Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and
all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying
the Program or works based on it.

6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the
Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the
original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to
these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further
restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein.
You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to
this License.

180 ETERNITY ME/GE/PE VMS Card V4 System Manual


7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent
infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues),
conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot
distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you
may not distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent
license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by
all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then
the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to
refrain entirely from distribution of the Program.

If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under


any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to
apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other
circumstances.

It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any


patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any
such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the
integrity of the free software distribution system, which is
implemented by public license practices. Many people have made
generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed
through that system in reliance on consistent application of that
system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing
to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot
impose that choice.

This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to


be a consequence of the rest of this License.

8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in


certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the
original copyright holder who places the Program under this License
may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding
those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among
countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License incorporates
the limitation as if written in the body of this License.

9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions
of the General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will
be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
address new problems or concerns.

Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program


specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any
later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions
either of that version or of any later version published by the Free
Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of
this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software
Foundation.

ETERNITY ME/GE/PE VMS Card V4 System Manual 181


10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free
programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author
to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free
Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes
make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals
of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and
of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.

NO WARRANTY

11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY


FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN
OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES
PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED
OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS
TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE
PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING,
REPAIR OR CORRECTION.

12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING


WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR
REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES,
INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING
OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED
TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY
YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER
PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE
POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS

How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs

If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest


possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it
free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.

To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest


to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least
the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.

<one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>
Copyright (C) <year> <name of author>

This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify


it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by
the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or
(at your option) any later version.

This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,


but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of

182 ETERNITY ME/GE/PE VMS Card V4 System Manual


MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the
GNU General Public License for more details.

You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License along
with this program; if not, write to the Free Software Foundation, Inc.,
51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301 USA.

Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.

If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this


when it starts in an interactive mode:

Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) year name of author


Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'.
This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it
under certain conditions; type `show c' for details.

The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate parts
of the General Public License. Of course, the commands you use may be called
something other than `show w' and `show c'; they could even be mouse-clicks or
menu items--whatever suits your program.

You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your
school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if
necessary. Here is a sample; alter the names:

Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the program


`Gnomovision' (which makes passes at compilers) written by James Hacker.

<signature of Ty Coon>, 1 April 1989


Ty Coon, President of Vice

This General Public License does not permit incorporating your program into
proprietary programs. If your program is a subroutine library, you may
consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with the
library. If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Lesser General
Public License instead of this License.
