Administrator Options
System Greetings
The programmed Day or Night greeting for each port, as programmed in the Number Plan
screen, is the first announcement played to outside callers when they reach the system.
Callers will either dial the system’s access number directly or they might be forwarded when
the dialed extension is busy or unanswered.
You have the option to record up to nine programmable greetings to provide callers with
certain information and instructions upon their entering the system.
You can customize the system sign-on greetings to meet your organization’s needs. When
you record a customized greeting, remind subscribers to dial [#] to identify themselves to the
system as subscribers. This is important for new subscribers who can get confused and end
up leaving unintended messages for others rather than entering their own mailboxes.
Outside callers who have never encountered a voice message system should be given clear
instructions on what to do when they reach the system. Since mailbox numbers are generally
the same as the extension numbers, a caller can leave a message by just dialing a [] before
the extension number of their intended party. By customizing the system greeting, explicit
directions can be given to the outside caller.
To program system greetings:
1. Access the System Administrator Mailbox as described on page C-9. The System
Administrator Mailbox Menu plays.
2. Press [1] to access system greetings. The system will prompt you for the greeting number
(1-9).
3. Enter the desired greeting number.
For example:
1 = Default Day greeting
2 = Default Night greeting
3 = Default Temporary greeting
4 – 9 = Open for customized greetings
4. You will be prompted with the following three choices:
Press [1] to Review. The greeting selected in Step 3 is played, then you are returned to
Step 4.
Press [2] to Record. You will be prompted to record the greeting selected in Step 3. When
you finish recording, press [#] to save the recording. Then you are returned to Step 4.
Press [3] to Delete. The system will announce that the greeting selected in Step 3 is
deleted, then you are returned to Step 4.
5. When you finish work on the greeting initially selected in Step 3, you have three choices:
Press [] to go back to Step 3 and select another greeting to manage.
Press [] + [] to return to the Administrator Options Menu.
Press [] + [] + [] to exit the system completely.

that plays when the Flash-based Voice Mail answers a caller. This screen tells the Flash-based
Voice Mail which greeting to play based upon the time of day, Day or Night, which is Vodavi Voice Mail Pathfinder Talkpath
