FirstClass Unified Communications
The FirstClass TUI for FirstClass Unified Communications integrates all FirstClass modules giving you one unified Desktop enabling you to access your Mailbox, calendar, contacts and memos from any phone, anywhere.
FirstClass Unified Communications enables you to access your phone and fax messages along with your email messages from your FirstClass client or from a web browser, just as you have always accessed your email. Phone messages are stored on the FirstClass server in standard .wav format, which is playable on virtually any platform.
FirstClass Unified Communications also enables you to access all of your messages, whether they are text, fax or voice, from any phone, just as you have always accessed your voice mail. Using text-to-speech technology, text messages are actually read to you over the phone, just like you have always listened to your voice mail. Additionally by phone, you can listen to calendar entries, access your contacts and listen to or create memos.
Using a fax machine to access your FirstClass Mailbox, you can download your new fax messages.
You can also unify all your existing voice mailboxes so all of your voice messages will go to your FirstClass Mailbox, regardless of which of your phones was called.
FirstClass Unified Communications helps you work more efficiently and easily. Your location or technology will no longer determine what types of messages you can access. All your messages are stored on one central Mailbox that can be accessed using any web browser, any phone, or a FirstClass client. Never again will you have to log into your email, check your office phone voicemail, your cell phone voicemail, and your home phone answering machine to find that one important message. Simply log in from wherever you are, using whatever device is handiest and retrieve and manage all your information.
Voice Greetings
With FirstClass Unified Communications, you can create as many greetings as you like. Create greetings for specific callers, and/or chosen called numbers, and schedule them to play at specific times.
There are five main types of greetings:
Spoken name
You should record a spoken name. It is used for system identification.
External greeting
External greetings will play for callers outside of your organization.
Internal greeting
Internal greetings will play for callers within your organization calling your internal extension number from their internal extensions.
Unknown caller
An Unknown caller greeting will play for any caller with unknown or blocked caller ID.
Voice menu
You can create voice menus to manage and redirect inbound calls. This feature requires use of the FirstClass client. For more information, see FirstClass Unified Communications User Guide.
This document describes how to record your spoken name and create one standard greeting. To record multiple customized greetings, see FirstClass Unified Communications User Guide.
