their student’s single teacher (as in primary schools) or a consolidated message of assignments from
all of the student’s teachers (typical in secondary schools).
One variation within this application permits designated employees to call and record the cafeteria
menus for the day or a range of days. These messages can even include nutritional information.
Another variation allows designated organizers of extracurricular activities, such as the band director
or the soccer coach, to call into the system, enter a secure activity ID number, and record the current
schedule and other related information, such as locations, fees, uniform or permissions requirements,
and so on.
Record On-Demand
As a safety precaution, the Education Module can record a message if an in-school recipient (for
instance, the receptionist, a teacher, or an administrator) hears what may be a bomb threat or other
illegal or disturbing talk. When the recipient presses certain activation keys, the entire conversation is
saved for future analysis.
NOTE:
For legal reasons, 3Com recommends that a school that plans to use this feature inserts an
announcement such as the following message into its Auto Attendant voice prompts: “Your call may
be recorded.”
Emergency Event Tracing
Similar to the Record On-Demand feature, this application
automatically
detects when any user of a
telephone on the system presses 911 (for an outgoing call) or when any in-school recipient detects
what might be a malicious call (and presses certain activation keys). The system records the call,
provides storage and playback information, sends a recorded message to a predefined group of
phone numbers, and distributes the recorded message according to already defined instructions.
NOTE:
For legal reasons, 3Com recommends that a school that plans to use this feature inserts an
announcement such as the following into its Auto Attendant voice prompts: “Your call may be
recorded.”
