Meridian Mail telset interfaces
Introduction
Through the Meridian Mail telset interfaces, users interact with
the Meridian Mail system to log in to their mailboxes, listen to
messages, and compose and send messages.
Two telset interfaces
There are two Meridian Mail interfaces:
• Meridian Mail User Interface (MMUI)
• Voice Messaging User Interface Forum (VMUIF)
Note:
A Meridian Mail system can support only one of these
interfaces. When the system is installed, it is defined as using
either the MMUI interface or the VMUIF interface.
Definition:
MMUI
The MMUI interface is a full-featured, command-driven Nortel
proprietary voice mail interface. It is intended primarily for
large business users.
Definition:
VMUIF
VMUIF is a menu-driven interface. It is intended primarily for
small business users, providing either full-featured voice
messaging or only call answering and message retrieval.
VMUIF is also well suited to large campus environments such
as universities or hospitals.
Terminology:
users and subscribers
Users added to a system on which the MMUI interface is
installed are referred to as users. Users added to a system on
which the VMUIF interface is installed are referred to as
subscribers, because they typically subscribe to a service
through a central office.
Note:
All of the Meridian Mail administration screens refer
simply to users, even though user administration applies to
both MMUI users and VMUIF subscribers.
