About this task
Use the following procedure to send a voice message to a user on
a remote system that is administered on the local messaging system.
For acceptance tests, you must administer two test subscribers
for each remote machine. For example, if you plan to network with
four remote machines named CB1, CB2, CB3, and CB4, you need to administer
two test subscribers on each machine. During acceptance testing, you
address voice messages to each of those test subscribers. See Remote User Administration for
information on administering remote users on the Communication Manager Messaging system.
To send a test message to a remote user:
- Dial the voice messaging extension.
- When prompted to enter an extension, use the telephone
keypad to enter a local test subscriber extension followed by #.
- Enter the password for the local test subscriber followed
by #.
- You hear the messaging Activity menu.
- Press 1 to record a message.
- At the tone, say the following:
"This is a test message from <your name>. Please call me to
verify that you have received this message. My number is <your
number>."
- Press # when you stop recording and approve the message.
After you approve the message, you hear the following prompt:
"Enter extension and pound sign. When finished addressing, press
pound."
- Enter the address for a remote test subscriber followed
by #.
The address includes the prefix, if any, and the extension of the
remote test subscriber.
After you press #, the remote machine repeats the remote test subscriber
extension you entered.
- Repeat Step 6 for each remote test subscriber on each remote
machine.
- When you complete entering remote test subscriber addresses,
press #.
You hear the following prompt:
"To send message, press pound, or enter a delivery option. To hear
a list of options, press 0."
- Press # to send the message.
The system schedules the delivery and returns you to the activity
menu.
- Hang up the telephone.
- Continue with Receiving
Voice Messages from Remote Test Subscribers.
