1) Is there a setting to change the text-to-speech reading speed? I like the envelope information, but it takes 'her' much too long to read it all out.
2) We were just upgraded to the latest software, 2.4.1.39 and are now on OSE 2.0 if I understand it correctly. With the latest OSE package there, apparently, is no client software yet for Outlook, so all we've got is a very basic printer-type FAX client. Does anyone have any idea when Inter-Tel/Mitel might re-introduce the Outlook-integrated FAX client? Are there any third-party clients out there? This is, after all, an Open Standards Edition. I've done some Internet searches, but haven't come up with anything promising.
3) Finally, is there a method to actually automate the server backup process so that an automatic backup could be triggered on a regular basis, such as once per week?
Thanks to all for any info that you can provide! |
1) No, the "text2speech" speed you are talking about is fixed and cannot be changed. You can turn off the autoplay of envelope information in the mailbox settings then only listen to it by pressing 5 well listening to a voicemail message when you need it.
2) Hope you didn't pay for an upgrade. Version 3 of the software is currently in beta and is lightyears ahead of release 2.4. There are tons of new features due out in release 3 which should be released in the next few monthes. We have been beta testing the software with a few clients for sometime now and it is awesome by comparison. I have not heard of any other fax client available for OSE, sorry, open source is usually a good thing, but not always. The whole point of OSE is to be open and not specific to one client, so it is very generic.
3) I am assuming you mean backing up to a PC with DBStudio, there is no automation for this. The system does internally backup the database nightly though. If you manually back it up when you make major programming changes you should be OK, I have only seen a 5000 system lose its programming once in the last two years, it isn't likely to happen without lightening damage or catastrophic failure.
