Menus

When recording an "Option Menu", how can I let the caller repeat or back up to a previous menu?

Why is there a delay after I enter my passcode or mailbox number?
The Diamond Voice system can support up to 6 digit passcodes or mailbox numbers. If your passcode or mailbox number is shorter than 6 digits, the system will wait to make sure you are finished entering. You can make the system react immediately by pressing # at the end of your passcode or mailbox number. Return to Top

Can I choose to not have a passcode?
We strongly recommend that you have a 5-6 digit passcode. Otherwise, anyone who calls your mailbox could get in and listen to your messages as well as change your greeting, passcode and other features you have enabled. Not having a passcode will not save time as the system will still wait to allow digit entry. If you choose to not have a passcode, you must call Tech support to have the passcode erased. Return to Top

Can my mailbox tell me I have messages?
Message notification can be enabled for your mailbox in 3 different ways: Pager, Message delivery to a telephone or Email. There may be an additional cost for these features depending on what type of service you have. Please contact your Sales Engineer for more information. Return to Top

When recording or checking multiple boxes, do I have to hang up and call back for each box?

How do I set up Multiple Transfer numbers?
Your mailbox can have multiple Greetings (up to 9). Each Greeting can be configured to Transfer or not to Transfer as well as what type of Transfer. Each Greeting will have it's own unique audio greeting for callers to hear.

The currently active Greeting will control the Call Transfer and the audio message the callers will hear. You can change which greeting is active. If the Schedule option is active, it will automatically switch between Greetings based on time of day. To make a different greeting active, you must first turn off the schedule (See How do I Turn the Schedule on or off?) You can then choose which Greeting 1-9 to make active (see How do I make a different greeting active?)

1. Configure a separate Greeting with the Transfer to number and record a greeting. (See How do I Change the Call Transfer number for a specific greeting? And How do I re-record a different (not active) greeting?
Once you complete this step, you will only need to repeat it if you wish to change the audio recording or transfer to number.
2. Turn off the Schedule (See How do I Turn Off the Schedule?)
3. Make the desired Greeting active (see How do I make a different greeting active?) Return to Top

What is a Question and Answer mailbox?
Like a regular voice mailbox, the Q & A mailbox plays a greeting and records the caller’s response. But the Q & A mailbox can play multiple questions in sequence and accept audio or touchtone input from the caller. All of these responses are stored in a database and can be retrieved over the web or by phone.

• After the last question and answer, a confirmation number is assigned and played for the caller.
• The Q & A can be configured to keep a response set only if all questions are answered.
• The caller can be routed to other options such as Transfer to live operator.
• Records are stored in an SQL database and accessible by web or a custom GET/POST* integration.
