Strata CIX Voice Mail Programming    01/07
Callers who press star (
*
) while listening to a user's personal greeting can initiate the mailbox 
log in process.
The ASR AA application coordinates with the Stratagy ES System Configuration table to 
determine whether the entered mailbox number or security code is subject to the fixed-digit 
parameters. 
Stratagy ES voice ports configured for ASR AA can now intercept incoming calls from fax 
devices sending CNG fax tone and dispatch the call to the pre-configured mailbox for accepting 
incoming fax messages.
The mechanism to synchronize the voice mail database with that of the ASR engine directory 
has now been embedded as a drop-down menu choice in the Administration screens.
ASR AA with Continuous Speech Processor
The ASR AA feature is only supported as a host-based application. The resident processor within 
the Media Application Server provides the processing power for ASR, no additional speech-related 
hardware is required. 
The ASR AA Feature Group includes two channels of ASR resources. Additional ASR resources 
can be purchased in two channel increments (up to a maximum of eight channels).
Processing is performed by Intel®’s Host Media Processing (HMP) software. All media 
processing takes place on the host processor.
Important!
Ports that are configured for ASR AA can only accept inbound voice mail integration 
using Simplified Message Desk Interface (SMDI). Dual Tone Multi-frequency 
(DTMF) in-band integration is not supported on these ports.

Prior to Installing
We recommend that you back up your database prior to starting any upgrade procedure. 
Make sure you have all the necessary parts and tools.
Since all of the procedures require voice mail be out-of-service, coordinate with the customer a 
time for voice mail to be taken off line.
