Although only real operating experience will give accurate figures for your system, we
have summarized a “rule-of-thumb” client capacity chart in Table 1.
Table 1: Rule-of-Thumb Client Capacity for PageSaver
The statistic on Voice Use will allow you to see exactly how much of your voice capacity
is being used.
Small PageSaver systems can support a reasonable number of Insurance and Notify clients
for a good return on investment. However, Mailbox-only clients use up more than their
fair share of the voice capacity. This is because Mailbox clients without pagers do not
know when messages are placed in their mailbox, so you have to give them plenty of
retention time. It is therefore advantageous to equip Mailbox clients with PageNote pagers
and give them shorter retention times such as two to four hours.
Client Prompts
Client prompts have a major impact on your available voice storage capacity. While
mailbox messages come and go, custom client prompts typically are recorded once and
then stay on the system for a long time, taking up space in your voice storage.
By careful management of custom client prompts, you will be able to increase the number
of subscribers on your system, or increase the capacity (number of messages or retention
time) in existing clients’ mailboxes. The numbers in the charts above would change
significantly if you reduced or increased the average amount of client custom prompts
from the assumptions noted.
Progress Prompts
The Model 2100 and Model 2200 can be called from the switched phone network or from
PABXs using any Touch-Tone phone. (Rotary dial phones may be used with selector level
phone trunks or on end-to-end lines with the terminal’s optional dial click board). Various
progress tones are generated by the terminal to tell the caller what is happening and to
prompt for action. (See Table 2)
