Step 8: Modify Welcome Messages
A Welcome Message consists of both a greeting to outside callers after they dial the Voice Mail sys-
tem and a list of their call-routing options (Instruction Menu). However, you must also record the
Instruction Men Separately (see Step 10 on page 38).
You can set up the Welcome Message in your Voice Mail system in one of these ways:
Q
use the default Welcome Message
Q
record your own Welcome Message
Q
use no Welcome Message.
Use the Default Welcome Message
If you are using the default Welcome Message, outside callers will first hear the greeting, Thank
you for calling. They will then hear the Instruction Menu: If you are calling from a Touch Tone
phone, please dial the extension number you wish to reach or dial 0 for assistance. If you are
calling from a rotary dial phone, please stay on the line for assistance.
Record Your Own Welcome Message
You can personalize the greeting in the recording of your company’s Welcome Message to say:
Thank you for calling (name of your company). Or you can personalize a Welcome Message for
workweek mornings to say: Good morning. Thank you for calling the XYZ company.
The Instruction Menu is a list of call-routing options that tells callers who reach the Automated
Attendant how to route their calls from the dialpad keys to their intended destinations. You can
personalize the dialing instructions in the Instruction Menu, so that they are keyed to the depart-
ments in your company. Callers hear options such as: Press 1 for Sales. Press 2 for Accounting.
Press 3 for Marketing... If you know the extension number of the person you are trying to reach,
you may dial it at any time. These are options that you have already programmed in the Dial Action
Table assigned to the Call Routing Mailbox you are using.
You need to record an Instruction Menu for each Dial Action Table that you use in Step 9: Modify
the Dial Action Tables. If you program two different Dial Action Tables, for example, you will need
to record two different Instruction Menus.
When you record each Instruction Menu, you will need to enter the number of the Call Routing
Mailbox associated with the Dial Action Table. Therefore, if Call Routing Mailboxes 600 and 601
both use Dial Action Table 1, you can record a menu for Call Routing Mailbox 600 and then copy it
to Call Routing Mailbox 601. No need to record the same Instruction Menu twice.
If there are more than 3 Instruction Menus to record, you may want to make copies of this page, so
that you have the number of the forms you need.
