extension
The actual phone number of a phone in the system.
extension ID
The number a caller uses to reach a subscriber's voice mailbox. The extension ID is not always the same as the
physical phone extension number. For example, if two subscribers share the same extension, they have different
extension IDs for their separate voice mailboxes.
external caller
A caller outside of the organization. A subscriber who calls the system and does not enter a personal ID is treated
as an external caller.
fax board
A specialized synchronous modem designed to transmit and receive facsimile documents. The optional ActiveFax
package requires installation of one fax board.
fax detect
A feature enabling the messaging system to detect an incoming fax tone and automatically deliver faxes to the
appropriate extension, usually the public fax box.
fax ID
A unique ID that identifies a subscriber fax mailbox. The ActiveFax package provides each subscriber with a fax
mailbox that stores faxes.
fax mail
Enables subscribers to receive fax mail in personal fax mailboxes. Fax messages are stored and delivered when the
subscriber requests delivery. Fax mail is a component of the ActiveFax package.
fax notification
A function that enables the messaging system to automatically deliver the fax to a fax machine, and optionally call
another notification device when a fax is received.
follow along id
The extension ID provided by the phone system to the messaging system when a call is forwarded back to the
phone system on a ring-no-answer or busy condition.
future message delivery
A delivery setting where subscribers can specify a future date and time for message delivery. This is often used to
send automatic reminders to individuals or groups.
gather ID
A call transfer setting that causes the messaging system to collect a caller information.
global tone detection (GTD)
A feature in the messaging system used to identify dial, reorder, and busy tones. GTD is useful for phone systems
that do not provide immediate disconnect signaling; when GTD is turned on, the messaging system listens for dial,
reorder, and busy tones.
greeting
A recording that welcomes callers to the system, provides information, offers menu selections, or offers a chance to
leave a message. If the organization uses an automated attendant, the opening greeting is what callers hear when
they dial the main phone number for the organization. A subscriber standard greeting is what callers hear when
they reach a subscriber's voice mailbox.
