Chapter 1 Using the Linksys Voice System
The Linksys Voice System
Designed to be implemented with the SPA9000, the SPA400 lets cost-conscious business users take
advantage of all the high-value features on the LVS, which are typically found on much more expensive
voice communications systems. The SPA400 includes an integrated voicemail application supporting up
to 32 voicemail accounts with customized greetings, providing LVS users the ability to receive and
playback voicemail messages. The SPA400 ships with a USB voicemail module, which stores voicemail
prompts and allows recording of up to four hours of high-quality voice messages.
For detailed information about using the SPA400 voice services and voicemail servers, refer to
Chapter 3, “Configuring Voice Service and Voicemail.”
Auto-Attendant
The Auto-Attendant is an internal service within the SPA9000. It plays pre-recorded voice messages that
offer the caller a menu of choices, so the Auto-Attendant can appropriately direct the call. After the
caller has made a choice, the call is routed to the appropriate extension. When the Auto-Attendant is
enabled, it parses and operates on user input (key presses or DTMF tones) following the rules specified
in the Auto-Attendant script on the SPA9000.
For detailed information about using and configuring the Auto-Attendant, refer to Chapter 5,
“Configuring the LVS Auto-Attendant.”
