Toshiba Strata CIX Developer's Guide

The Auto (Scheduling) Tab Screen (see 

) enables you to set up 

automatic changes for each mailbox. You can set these changes to occur at a specific time, on 
certain days of the week, or on a specified date. For example, based on your Auto definition, voice 
mail can answer your company’s telephone during the day with your daytime (open) greeting and 
during off-hours with your nighttime (closed) greeting. The Stratagy ES software allows an 
unlimited number of auto scheduling records for each mailbox.

By defining Auto fields, you can schedule when a mailbox can change the:

DND setting

Call Screening setting

Greeting number

Voice Menu

Destination defined in the Extension field

Number of rings before taking a message for this extension

The following concepts are the keys to understanding how voice mail uses Auto Scheduling 
records:

Voice mail waits for the right date, time, and day, and then makes the specified changes.

The changes remain in effect until you either disable the Auto Scheduling record or another 
record with different options is scheduled to start.

If the re-schedule information does not fall on a valid day, voice mail increments the Next 
Change date until it falls on a valid day as defined by the Active Days field.

For example, to schedule a greeting to play on Thanksgiving Day each year you would set the 
following fields to:

Enabled—checked (On)

Change On—11/25/99 (Thanksgiving Day in 1999)

At—8:00

And Every—12 Months

Active Days: MTWTFSS
NNNYNNN

Voice mail checks for the next Thursday after 11/25/99 and displays Next Change:11/23/00, 
which is the next day that meets the criteria specified in the record.
