If a caller hangs up without leaving a message, FirstClass Unified Communications can generate a Called, No message notification in your Mailbox for valid caller IDs, invalid caller IDs, all callers (both valid and invalid IDs), or no callers (clear both valid and invalid IDs).
Faxes
Accept faxes
Accepts faxes into your Mailbox.
Format for incoming faxes
Choose a format for incoming faxes. The default format is Each page as separate attachment (PCX). This makes downloading and saving selected pages of a fax easy.
Call transfer menu
Select a key and enter a corresponding "Transfer to number" to allow all callers to transfer to another number instead of leaving a message. You can have up to two transfer numbers. Be sure to enter the full 10-digit number. Do not enter 1 for long distance calls. Do not enter outside line access code numbers (such as 9 for an external local line). If callers provide feedback that they are being cut off when transferring, the system may be disconnecting too quickly and the number is not being properly processed. You can follow the number with a comma (,) for a one-second pause, or a semi-colon (;) for a five-second pause.
If you enter a tranfer number for key 0, this will override the system zero-out option (usually reception).
You may wish to list these options in your voice greetings so callers are aware of them.
If you want to allow only certain callers to transfer, customize a greeting to override these preferences.
Message play options
Auto play unread messages
When accessing messages by phone, the message will play automatically without you pressing a key to begin the playback.
Suppress message envelope
The message will play without first playing envelope information such as the caller’s name or the time of the call.
Play only From name
Only the caller’s name or phone number will play before the message.
Preferred language
Your preferred default Mailbox language.
TTS language
The default text-to-speech language for your Mailbox. Choose the language most commonly used in your correspondence. If you receive a message in another language, the text-to-speech engine will automatically detect the language, if the language is known to your text-to-speech engine.
Web tab

List page size
The maximum number of items per page. For best performance, do not exceed 30 items.
List download size
The maximum number of items that will be initially downloaded to your web browser. The fewer items you download initially, the better the performance.
