Our integrator put together a TVA50 with a TVA50 on T7633 handsets for
us. They then leave us a document that says to transfer a call to
voicemail we have to do the following:

Hit Transfer
Type 165
Type # 6
Type mailbox number

Oh please say it aint so. I was expecting something more like

Hit Transfer
Hit users named button on the right side buttons
hang up.

How can I make this easier. There's no way our users are going to
remember 4 steps to transfer a call into voicemail.

Help!!! :O

There are 3 buttons you need to reserve for VM handling, VMT (VM
Transfer), 2W Record and 2W Transfer.

VMT is used to transfer a call to voice mail. You press this button
and the DSS or dial the extension of the mailbox you want to transfer
a call to and the outside party hears the entire greeting.

2W record records your conversation into your mailbox. With the 2.1
patch, it can record the conversation as a new message .

2W Transfer records your conversation in someone else's mailbox. Say
someone calls you for and doesn't want voice mail. You can take the
message "by Hand" but still record it into the recipient's voice mail.
You interview and the VM records the message.

In your case the codes are PROG press a button dial 94, 90 or 91
respectively + 165 and STORE

All of this is in the TDA Operating Manual. If you need one, I just
happen to have it stored on my web site. How convenient :-)

Thanks for the reply.

Mostly way over my head. Hopefully our integrator can make heads or
tails.

Questions:

Can I make these changes myself without having to involve our
integrator?
What will the "transfer to voicemail" process be after having
sucessfully made the changes?
Before asking anymore stupid questions, I will RTFM and see if I
understand your post a little better.

Break it down like this. You have 24 programmable buttons on a phone.
Pick any 3...preferably the same 3 on every phone. Label them as
above. The one you need most is VTR-Voice Mail Transfer.
On the phone, the 1st button of the 4 soft keys under the display is
marked PROG when the phone is idle. Press it. Press the button you
just labelled VTR. The display will read whatever is under the button
now. Dial 94165 and press the 4th soft key marked ENTER (or the round
buttron in the navigator key, or STORE). The phone will beep. At
this point, just press the 2nd soft key marked EXIT.

Your button is now VTR. Have someone call in and you answer on that
phone. Now to transfer a call into voice mail, press the VTR button
and either dial their extension, say 115, or press the DSS (extension
button if you have it on your keystrip) and hang up.

The outside party will go the voice mail.

Carl,

Worked like a charm!!! Can't believe it was that easy and now wonder
more than ever what the heck my integrator was thinking. I actually
have printed documentation from them saying transfer, 165, pound 6
mailbox number. Can you believe that!!! Now my users can actually
use their phones. I can't thank you enough. After following your most
recent instrucitons, I re-read your original post and it makes much
more sense. I'm also going to give the manual a good read. Funny,
probably one of the first things (besides the software) the integrator
whisped away never to be seen again. Do you know what panasonic's
stand is on these systems? We had it installed by a certified
integrator, but arent' we entitled to the software to make changes
going forward? Our integrator says no, but I have to think
differently.

Is there a way for me to tell if I have the 2.1 patch on my system
from a handset? The 2w option is something that I think we'd use once
in a while.

My greatest thanks.

Roveer
