# Enable Call Placement

To allow mailbox owners to send messages to any telephone:

1. From the Main Menu, select (S) System Maintenance, (R) Reconfiguration, (R) Reconfigure System.

2. Do one of the following:

   - Select (F) Modify Inactive Configuration if you just made a change through the Offline Menu without activating it

   - Otherwise, select (E) Modify Active Configuration.

3. Select (G) Group Selected and then enter the number of the line group (1-24) to which the Pager application is assigned, or press Enter if the current number is the Pager application line group.

4. Select (M) Modify Application, (F) Other Features, (D) Dialing Plan Menu.

5. Select (D) Dialing Plan.

6. At the NuPoint Voice dialing plan= prompt, enter T in the digit position that activates call placement, then the desired code in each of the other digit positions. Valid codes are:

   0 | No mailbox numbers start with the digit marked by 0
   1-11 | Number of digits allowed in a valid mailbox number
   A | The digit marked by A enables Dial-by-Name. When this digit is pressed, it triggers a prompt that instructs the caller to begin spelling the name. You may use this element in any position of the dial plan.
   V | Mailbox numbers starting with the digit marked by V are variable length, up to 11 digits.

7. Save the dialing plan by exiting to the Main Menu.

8. Customize an FCOS to include feature bit 110 (make/give to telephone number) and assign to the mailboxes.

9. If required, modify the LCOS limits that control call placement. You can modify any of the following limits:

   1. RNA retry limit

   2. RNA retry interval

   3. Busy retry limit

   4. Busy retry interval

   5. Message phone length

   6. Message count

   7. Maximum message length

10. Define a pager system with message delivery to provide an outdialing port.

11. For each mailbox that uses the call placement function, modify the mailbox to:

    1. Assign the FCOS containing feature bit 110.

    2. Assign the LCOS modified to support call placement.

12. Specify the pager system, defined in step 10, as the Call Placement index number. This is also set in the mailbox configuration. After setting FCOS and LCOS, press Enter until the Call Placement Pager Access Type prompt appears.

13. At the Call placement pager access type: prompt, enter one of the following:

    1. index number of the pager system (0-15) this mailbox uses. This is the same as the pager system number specified in the Define Pagers Menu.

       OR

    2. I if call placement outdials from this mailbox are to use the internal outdial index (specified earlier in the mailbox configuration) for internal calls.

       OR

    3. B if call placement outdials from this mailbox are to be charged to a billing account. Outcalls will use the billed outdial index specified earlier in the mailbox configuration.

       OR

    4. U if call placement outdials from this mailbox are not to be charged to a billing account. Outcalls will use the Unbilled Outdial Index specified earlier in the mailbox configuration.

14. Press Enter to skip through each of the remaining mailbox configuration prompts. After the last prompt, the system displays the mailbox configuration, then prompts for the next mailbox number.

At this point, the parameter settings are saved and you can continue with mailbox configuration or exit.
