# Define a NuPoint User Data Source

The current NuPoint UM system is the default user data source when you install a new NuPoint UM system with the Speech Auto Attendant feature.

When the Speech Auto Attendant user data source is configured for the current NuPoint Unified Messaging system, then you can specify the default Speech Auto Attendant number using the Web console. A field entitled "Auto-Attendant Default Extension" appears in the General tab when you edit a mailbox in the Advanced mode. You can select the default number from the list of configured phone numbers.

Note:

- Speech Auto Attendant can only fetch users from the NuPoint UM system on which it resides. It cannot retrieve users from a remote NuPoint Unified Messaging system.

- The "Auto-Attendant Default Extension" field will not appear in the administration web console if Speech Auto Attendant is not installed, or if the user data source is not configured to fetch information from the current NuPoint UM system.

To configure the user data source for the current NuPoint UM system:

1. In the navigation tree, click Auto-Attendant. The Auto-Attendant menu items appear.

2. Click Data Source. The User Data Source window appears.

3. In the Source Type field, select NuPoint from the drop-down menu.

4. Click Save.

The system automatically selects every mailbox that is enabled with FCOS bit 92 (Dial-by-Name database) and a properly formatted display name for the Speech Auto Attendant user data source.
