System
Features
Caller ID
Compatible If you subscribe to central office based caller ID, the SVMi-4
is compatible. Just as the Caller ID data appears on DCS keysets, so the same
information is saved in your voice mailbox for each message you receive. This
can be used for call back or simply to identify the caller.
Expandable The
SVMi-4 can be easily field upgraded from 2 ports and 16 mailboxes to 4 ports
and 16 mailboxes by using a hardware upgrade key. This upgrade doubles the
call handling capabilities of the system.
Keyset Display and
Soft Key Support If you have a DCS display keyset the number of new
messages will be displayed on it. The display will also echo many of the
options available. You will be able to negotiate through the SVMi-4 menus
using the Keyset display and the soft keys below the display to respond to
the prompts.
MOH Supply
Music or announcements may be recorded in the SVMi-4 Memory and used by the
DCS phone system for music on hold. The recorded announcement or music will
play in a continuous loop and may be used to provide custom on hold
announcements or promotional messages.
Proprietary Design The
SVMi-4 is designed to work specifically with the DCS 50si and the DCS
compact. This allows tighter integration with the phone system and allows for
enhanced features like Call Record and Answer Machine Emulation and Display
and soft key support not normally available third party voice mail / auto
attendant systems.
Recordable System
Prompts Although the SVMi-4 contains all the spoken prompts to provide an
operational system, some people may want to add or re record some prompts.
This can easily be done using the built in voice studio.
Synchronized Clock The
SVMi-4 clock is responsible for providing each message with a date and time
stamp, changing between day and night modes is always synchronized with the
phone system.

transferred. This system may even be used internally if an extension number
is not known.
Audiotext You

callers. Audiotext allows you to provide information only without giving the

digits they enter. Callers may be transferred to station, groups or the

to a busy station, if unanswered will be sent to voice mail or any other
destination according to the users needs.
