Voice Mail - Main Menu - Make Outbound Transfers - Features

The administrator can enable this function for all mailboxes by including “OTE”, Outbound Transfers Enabled, in the System Parameters System Settings field. This function can also be enabled by individual mailboxes by including “OTE” in the Mailbox Settings field.

 Once enabled, the administrator then has to set the transfer mode. By default transfers are flash hook blind transfers, but they can be 3-Way (OTT3), or Bridged (OTTB) calls based on this flag. This flag would normally be set in the System Parameters System Settings field as it would apply to all enabled mailboxes.

The transfer mode flags can be set as follows:

• OTTB<port-range> - where port range is the ports to use for the bridged call. See Bridged attendant transfers for details
• OTT3<3waystring>- where 3way string is used to create and drop a 3way call
• OTPS - Outbound Transfer Prefix Dial string
• OTSS - Outbound Transfer Suffix Dial string

The following prompts are used for this function and may need to be re-recorded:

• 398"Enter the phone number."
• 399"Hold while you are transferred."
• 400"Connection removed" (for bridged calls.)

Once transfer is terminated, caller is returned for more voicemail options.
