Description

Park and Page

Park and Page can automatically Park a call at an extension and Page the user with a prerecorded Paging Message announcing the parked call. The called extension user can then go to any telephone and implement Personal Park to pick up the call. With Park and Page, IntraMail tries to locate the person instead of just sending the call to their mailbox. Additionally, there is no need for an operator or receptionist to manually answer the call, park it, and then try to track down the employee.

The Paging Message is usually recorded in the user’s own voice and typically says something like, “Mike Smart, you have a call.” If the Paging Message is not recorded for the extension, a built-in message will announce the called party’s name or extension number (if the name is not recorded).

Park and Page is available for all types of calls, including:
  • Transferred calls
  • Direct Inward Lines
  • Direct Inward Dialing
  • Automated Attendant Screened (STRF) and Unscreened (UTRF) Transfers
  • Automated Attendant Direct to Voice Mail
  • Overflow
  • Intercom calls

Optionally, an extension can have calls from the Automated Attendant immediately Park and Page without trying their extension first.

When Park and Page intercepts the call, it normally offers the caller three options:
  1. Dial 1 to leave a message in the called extension’s mailbox. (The caller hears the mailbox Greeting, if recorded.)
  2. Dial 2 to Park and Page. (The caller returns to these options if the Park is not picked up.)
  3. Dial 3 for other options. (Normally, this routes to the extension’s Next Call Routing Mailbox.)

Park and Page is available at Personal, Ring Group, and UCD Group Subscriber Mailboxes, and can be enabled through system programming or via the subscriber’s Mailbox Options Menu.

Automated Attendant Direct to Voice Mail (DVM)

When an extension has Automated Attendant Direct to Voice Mail (DVM) enabled, all calls from the Automated Attendant go directly to the subscriber’s mailbox. The extension does not ring for Automated Attendant calls. The caller hears the mailbox greeting and can leave a message, but unlike Park and Page is not normally offered any other routing options. A subscriber typically turns on DVM when they need to work at their desk undisturbed by outside calls from the Automated Attendant.

DVM can be enabled by the installer from system programming or by the extension user from their Mailbox Options Menu.

Keep in mind that DVM will not block Intercom calls from co-workers or any other type of outside call not routed through the Automated Attendant. For example, with DVM enabled, Direct Inward Lines and transferred outside calls to an extension work normally.

Page Alert Beep Cuts Off Part of Park and Page Announcement

[3.05] The introduction of the Page Alert Beep in software version 3.01 created a problem which caused the first part of the Park and Page announcement to be cut off. This is now corrected.
