Authentication Modes

TERAVoice offers two different methods for authenticating users trying gain access to the Remote Control mode.

For more information about configuring and using Remote Control please read Using Remote Control From A Telephone.

Event Logging

TERAVoice offers 4 different methods for logging information about errors. There are 4 different log levels available:

Not all logging messages allow logging with any log level. For example debug information is only available when logging to file.

Note: Logging debug information can affect you system performance. Please use this option only for tracking down errors.

Internal Log

TERAVoice has its own internal log file to record information about system events. This information can be easily viewed within the TERAVoice administration console as described under Monitoring System Activity.

This log is also available for remote administration.

Log To File

This option is useful for error tracking. When submitting support requests you may be asked to create a file log with debug level information.

Log To System Event Log

The Windows Event Log provides a central instance where information from all system services and applications is stored. Therefore it is a good practice to activate logging to the Windows Event Log.

Note: In order to receive error messages via email you need to correctly configure the SMTP server settings as described under Server Options

Call Transfer

This page lets you set the options for Call Transfer Procedure where A calls B. B creates a consultation call to C while holding A. B then connects/transfer A to C.. Basic information about transferring calls with TERAVoice can be found under Call Transfer Types.

Transfer Mode

Select the Transfer Mode you want to use with TERAVoice. A description of all transfer modes can be found under Call Transfer Types.

Wait Until Answer

Select the amount of time TERAVoice should wait for the C-party to take the call. If the call is not picked up within this time the transfer will be considered to have failed.

Always Simulate Hold

This setting only applies to bridged transfers. You can specify an audio file below that is played back to the A-party instead of putting the A-party on hold  .

If putting the A-party on hold fails (e.g. because the device or the network does not support hold) the Simulated Hold Audio file is played back anyway, but if you select this option TERAVoice never tries to put the call on hold.

Simulated Hold Audio

Please enter an audio file that should be played back as hold music for simulated hold during bridged Call Transfer Procedure where A calls B. B creates a consultation call to C while holding A. B then connects/transfer A to C..

Use These Devices For Bridged Transfer

When doing normal Call Transfer Procedure where A calls B. B creates a consultation call to C while holding A. B then connects/transfer A to C. the transfer is executed as a network or PBX Private Branch Exchange - telecommunication system function. For simulated transfer a completely independent connection to the C-party is created. Any device can be used for this second connection (unless it does not support full-duplex mode, such as most modems).

Select all devices here that should be used for creating the C-party connection.

Options

The Options page lets you configure several basic and default settings.

Mail Server

Enter the data of the SMTP server here. You can enter an IP address or the DNS name of the mail server you want to use.

Enter the display name and the email address that should be used as the sender for all email messages that are sent by TERAVoice.

Note: Some SMTP servers require that the sender's email address must be in the list of allowed senders of the sending domains. If sending fails this may be due to this kind of restriction. Please change the email address to a valid value in these cases.

Click on the Advanced button in order to specify additional settings like logon information or server port.

Default Settings

Start-Recording Sound: This is the sound that is played back as a signal that a user can start leaving a message.

Note: Those settings can be overridden by settings in every Call Handler A component that offers a certain method for treating a call's configuration options.

Advanced

Scripting Options

Script Timeout: You can specify a timeout value here after which an IVR Interactive Voice Response Script is considered to be "hanging" and terminated.

Script Debugging: Use this setting to enable debugging of IVR Interactive Voice Response Scripts.

Important: Use Script Debugging only for test purposes. If you enable debugging all scripts will be handled by the same thread and other scripts will hang if you are currently debugging a script!
When debugging scripts always set the Script Timeout to 0s (=disable)!

Text To Speech
