Message Delivery Parameters
The Message Delivery parameters determine how the Octel 50 system dispatches
message delivery attempts and delivers faxes to fax machines on internal extensions.
Message Delivery Parameters - #115
Custom Message
Delivery Code
This parameter specifies the series of digits the Octel 50
system must dial for message and fax delivery to internal
phone and fax numbers, respectively.
When/How to Use
This parameter is set by Integrator, if required by the switch.
The Octel 50 system inserts the Custom Message Delivery
Code, when defined, in the dialing string before the phone
number for message delivery or the fax destination phone
number.
The minimum and maximum for this parameter refer to the
length of the entry allowed, not an actual number.
Related Parameters/Features
If the phone number for message delivery is equal to or
greater than the Number of Digits in Local Phone Number,
the Code for Accessing an Outside Line is used instead of
the Custom Message Delivery Code.
If the destination fax phone number is equal to or greater
than the Number of Digits in Local Phone Number, the Fax
Prefix Code is used instead of the Custom Message
Delivery Code.

Message Delivery Parameters - #116
Number of
Seconds to Wait
before Message
Delivery
This parameter defines the number of seconds the Octel 50
system waits to voice the Message Delivery prompt after a
subscriber answers the phone.
When/How to Use
For most Octel 50 systems, the default value should be
sufficient. However, some switches require a few seconds to
establish a voice path after an extension goes off hook. Set
this parameter to a higher value if the Message Delivery
prompt is not always voiced completely.
Related Parameters/Features
None.
If Set Too High
Subscribers hear a long silence and may hang up before
the Message Delivery prompt is voiced.
If Set Too Low
Subscribers do not hear the entire Message Delivery
prompt.
