Working with a Key Voice System

Call Queuing
Call queuing gives callers the option of holding for a specific extension when it is busy. The
system politely keeps callers apprised of their position in line. Key Voice systems may be
designed to frequently check with holding callers, offering options such as leave a voice mail
message, speak to the operator, or try another extension. Music or informational messages can
also be played while callers are waiting.
Call Screening
Call screening allows subscribers to choose whether they want to take calls or have the system
take a message. The system asks the caller to voice his/her name and then announces the call to
the subscriber. In addition to accepting a screened call or sending the caller to the active mailbox
greeting, the subscriber also has the option to:
• Play any of 10 pre-recorded mailbox greetings to the caller
• Transfer the caller to a pre-programmed alternate extension, such as a secretary
• Transfer the caller to any telephone on the system
• Record the conversation
Customizable System Prompts
As part of the installation process, you have the option to re-record standard system prompts, in
the event you want to customize them.
Directories and Dial-by-Name
Alphabetical directories allow callers to easily search for individual extensions or mailboxes,
through the use of touch-tones. Callers can get individuals by using the touch-tone pad to spell
last names or first names. The system can be configured to announce the mailbox number to the
caller or keep it private, when privacy is an issue.
Fax Tone Transfer
The fax tone transfer feature automatically transfers calls to a fax machine when an incoming fax
tone is detected. Dedicated fax lines normally carry a monthly charge to send and receive faxes.
Now with the fax tone transfer feature you can eliminate the monthly charge and let the Key
Voice system direct incoming faxes to a fax machine, saving you hundreds of dollars or more per
year in dedicated fax line charges.
Greetings
System voice greetings, which are used to greet callers, can be configured to automatically
change based on times specified for regular business hours (including morning, afternoon, and
evening), after hours, and holidays. The greetings can be recorded on-site or remotely. Greetings
can also be recorded in up to 9 languages and can be used in Audiotex applications to provide
information to callers without human intervention. The setup process is made simple and
understandable through clever pop-up menus and a clear, concise, logical design.
