Sprint Digital Voice lets extension users know when they have a new
message in their Subscriber Mailboxes. The voice mail feature key on the
telephone flashes when the mailbox has a new message.
After leaving a message in a Subscriber Mailbox, an Automated Attendant
caller can dial zero (0) to reach the lowest numbered extension (which is
frequently an operator extension).

Chapter 2: Installation Checklist
•
•
By default, the Automated Attendant answers with this recorded main
greeting: Thank you for calling. If you are calling from a touchtone phone,
please dial the extension number you wish to reach or dial zero for
assistance. If you are calling from a Rotary Dial phone, please stay on the
line for assistance. This greeting can be re-recorded at any time.
Default
Automated
Attendant
Answering
Sprint Digital Voice lets the Automated Attendant play different main
greetings according to schedules that are based on the day(s)/date and
time. For example, you can set up a schedule for typical business
workdays (Monday-Friday, starting at 9:00 a.m.). Then you can set up
another schedule for typical off-hours (Monday-Friday, starting at 5:00 p.m.
This schedule is used for weekends). This way you can have two main
greetings: one for workdays, and one for off-hours. These schedules are
already set up as defaults.
The dialpad keys 0-8 can be used to customize a dialing menu. Keys 9, *, and #
are each permanently assigned for a certain function (described in the list
below). Callers can dial either extension or mailbox numbers.
Default
Automated
Attendant
By default, the dialing menu is as follows:
•
Press zero (0), or wait on the line for the operator (the lowest numbered
extension) during the workday schedule.
Dialing Menu
Press zero (0), or wait on the line to record a message for the operator (the
lowest numbered extension) during the off-hour schedule.
•
Dial a Subscriber extension number to transfer to that extension. If the
extension is busy, does not answer, or is in Do Not Disturb, the caller
hears, At the tone, leave a message for extension XXX.
•
•
Press 9 to hang up the call (this cannot be changed).
Press * and a Subscriber extension number to leave a recorded message in
that mailbox (this cannot be changed).
•
Press # and a Subscriber Mailbox Number to log onto that mailbox and
listen to the messages and/or use other Voice Mail features (this cannot be
changed).
Note: The Time Out function determines where the Automated Attendant
routes a call if the caller doesn’t press a key after the Main Greeting
finishes playing. The Time Out function works differently according
to the workday schedule or the off-hours schedule. By default, the
Automated Attendant sends the caller to the lowest numbered
extension during the workday schedule and lets the caller leave a
message for the lowest numbered extension during off-hours.

Chapter 2: Installation Checklist
Sprint® Digital Voice is easy to install and maintain if the details of the
installation are outlined before the phone or voice mail are installed. Before
beginning the installation, talk with the customer and make sure that you
have a complete understanding of how the customer wants the systems to
function. This will keep you from having to make changes after installation
that can cause Sprint Digital Voice to re-initialize. When the voice mail has
to be re-initialized, previous programming and recordings, such as main
greetings and subscribers’ greetings, are destroyed.

C) with a 10 - 90% relative humidity (non-condensing).
If this is a new installation, install the Protegé phone system in
accordance with the phone system Installation and Maintenance Manual.
STEP 3
IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT THE OUTSIDE LINES
Request outside lines with open loop flash disconnect supervision from
the phone company. Outside lines with open loop disconnect
supervision prevent the recording of unwanted silence. This can happen
when an Automated Attendant caller records a message and then hangs
up but Sprint Digital Voice is unable to detect the hang up.
Install Your Phone
System
Also, request that the telephone company apply an open loop of at least
300 milliseconds. If this feature is not available in the area, request that
continuous dial tone be sent upon disconnect from the far end (that is,
when an Automated Attendant caller hangs up).
Once the Protegé phone system is installed and operational proceed
with Step 4.

IMPORTANT
If the default mailbox numbering does not match the extension
numbering plan of your phone system, you will need to set up all your
mailbox numbering before you perform any other voice mail
programming. If you add or change the mailbox numbering at a later
date, you will have to re-initialize Sprint® Digital Voice. As a result of the
re-initialization, you must re-program the entire system, users must re-
record their personal Mailbox Greetings, all messages and greetings will
be erased.
STEP 8
Select the
numbering for
your Subscriber
Mailboxes
When you select a phone system for integration (see STEP 6), Sprint
Digital Voice automatically assigns numbers to the Subscriber Mailboxes.
Generally, these numbers start at the lowest numbered extension and
continue in sequence until the total number of mailboxes reaches 50.
However, Protegé 3x8 has fewer than 50 extensions. For these systems,
Sprint Digital Voice provides Subscriber Mailbox numbers that
correspond to the current phone system numbering plan. With the
current 3x8 system, there will be 34 unused mailboxes. These unused
mailboxes typically are numbered in sequence starting with mailbox 810.
For example, the default numbering for Subscriber Mailboxes in the
Protegé 3x8 is 10 to 25 and 810 to 843.
To create these mailbox ranges, you use the laptop computer that you
connected to Sprint Digital Voice and access a program in Sprint Digital
Voice called the System Configuration Management Program. You can
change a Protegé system’s numbering plan and create different ranges of
mailbox numbers. Such as ranges 10 to 15 and 22 to 25 for the 3x8. For
more information on this feature refer to the document Using a Laptop
with Sprint Digital Voice.
When you create mailbox ranges, you need to account for any additional
Mailboxes that you may need to use later on. After you create the
desired mailbox ranges, you must re-initialize Sprint Digital Voice. The
re-initialization returns the entire database to default values and erases
any recordings (such as the Main Greeting, personal Mailbox Greetings
and messages).
To determine if you want the default Mailbox numbering:
1. From the table below, locate the system you selected in STEP 7.
2. Review the default Mailbox numbering. Note, Trunk Mailbox
numbering is not used with this version
14 – ◆ – Getting the Voice Mail System Up and Running

Chapter 3: Getting the Voice Mail System Up and Running
You may want to set up a system administrator’s
mailbox for technicians. This allows remote access to
the system.
STEP 13
By default, the lowest numbered mailbox on the system is the System
Administrator’s mailbox. This is traditionally used by an on-site
administrator who is allowed to set up and delete mailboxes, reset
passwords, customize attendant features and perform administrative and
maintenance tasks on the voice mail system.
Set Up System
Administrator’s
Mailbox
To ensure access to the system at all times, multiple system
administrator mailboxes can be assigned. This will allow access to a
secondary administrator when the primary administrator is unavailable.
There will be times when no administrators are available and a
technician will be called to perform some task. With a system
administrator mailbox set up on Sprint® Digital Voice, a technician can
dial into the system and make any changes that are requested.
If available use mailbox number 25 on the Protegé® 3x8 or mailbox
number 250 on the CTX/MTX/LTX. Follow the instructions in Chapter 4
“Customizing Subscriber Mailbox Features” in the System Administrator’s
Guide to set up a System Administrator’s mailbox.
The basic features are: Mailbox Greeting, Mailbox
Security Code, and Mailbox Name. Subscribers do this
from their own mailbox.
STEP 14
•
The typical recorded Mailbox Greeting is Hello. This is John. I can’t
answer the phone right now . . . Note that at default, Automated
Attendant callers can dial zero (0) during or after the greeting to
transfer the call to the lowest numbered extension as well as enter
an extension number. Subscribers can include this information in
their greetings.
Customize Three
Basic Subscriber
Mailbox Features
•
•
A Mailbox Security Code can be assigned to prevent unauthorized
access to a Subscriber Mailbox. The code can be up to 6 digits long.
No one can log onto the mailbox without entering the code. Note
that there are no security codes assigned at default.
A recorded Mailbox Name will play a personalized voice prompt
instead of the corresponding extension or mailbox number. In other
words, Sprint Digital Voice will say John does not answer instead of
Extension XX(X) does not answer.
See the User’s Guide for instructions.
Review this 10 important steps to insure that Sprint
Digital Voice is ready for use:
Step 15
•
From Sprint Digital Voice’s system administrator’s mailbox (the
lowest extension number, which defaults to extension 10 or 201 at
installation, depending on the phone system and Sprint Digital Voice
installed), select correct phone system. If mailbox range is incorrect,
change it before proceeding with any other steps.
