Once the Automated Attendant answers, the Dial Action Table provides the dialing options to callers. 
Each digit a caller can dial is assigned a speci fic action (function) in the Dial Action Table. The dial 
action used depends on the setting in the active Call Routing Mailbox, which in turn depends on the 
Answer Table setup.

The Quick Message without Greeting option (REC2) is typically used whe\
n the mailbox’s Next Call 
Routing Mailbox option allows the caller to dial a digit to leave a message. Otherwise, the caller

 mailbox and again when 
routed by the Next Call Routing Mailbox).

Screened Transfer
DSX Software ManualIntraMail Features◆567
IntraMail 
Features
Screened Transfer
Description
Screened Transfer is an Automated Attendant option that allows callers to directly dial system extensions. 
Screened Transfer (and its related feature Unscreened Transfer) allows the IntraMail Automated Attendant to 
transfer outside calls to system extensions without the need for a live receptionist or operator. It is similar to 
telephone system screened transfers in which the transferring party cont\
rols the transfer. After an Automated 
Attendant caller dials an extension, IntraMail calls (screens) the destination extension to see if the transfer 
can go through.
❥If the destination is busy or in DND, the Automated Attendant doesn’t extend the call and immediately  provides the caller with additional options.
❥If the destination is available, the Automated Attendant rings it. If the destination answers, the call goes through. If the destination doesn’t answer within a preset interval, the Automated Attendant doesn’t 
extend the call and provides the caller with additional options.
Screened vs. Unscreened Transfer
Both Screened and Unscreened Transfer allow Automated Attendant callers to directly dial system exten-
sions. The following summarizes the differences between these two types of Automated Attendant transfer.
❥With Unscreened Transfer, calls from the Automated Attendant ring like other transferred calls and dis-play the incoming Caller ID data (if provided by telco and enabled in programming). Screened Transfers 
ring like Intercom calls and do not display Caller ID until the call is answered\
.
❥Both Screened and Unscreened Transfers route unanswered calls to the subscriber’s greeting (recorded or default) so the caller can leave a message. However, only Screened Transfer allows the caller to dial 2 
to reach the Next Call Routing Mailbox options (if programmed). 
Screened Transfer and Inactive Mailboxes
Screened Transfer to an extension can only occur if the destination extension has an active mailbox. If the 
extension’s mailbox is inactive, the Automated Attendant caller hears, “ That is an invalid entry,” and then 
returns to the Automated Attendant.
The table on the next page shows in detail how Screened Transfer operates.
Similar to telephone system screened transfers in which the transferring party controls the 
transfer.

IntraMail 
Features
Programming
1.In  4231-Digit Assignment  (page 901), enter 1 to assign an available key for Screened Transfer (STRF).
2.Normally, the corresponding  Routing option should be XXX. Note that the key you choose for this action 
is the  first digit of the called extension number.
- For example, to allow callers to place Screened Transfers to extensions 300-399, for key 3 enter  STRF for the  Action and XXX for the corresponding  Routing.
3.To have Screened Transfer call a speci fic extension, the corresponding  Routing option should be that 
extension’s number. The caller then dials that single digit to reach the extension. - For example, to have callers dial 8 to reach extension 303, for key 8 enter STRF for the  Action and 
303 for the corresponding  Routing.
4.In 4222-03: Screened Transfer Timeout  (page 891), set how long a Screened Transfer (STRF) from the 
Automated Attendant will ring (
0-255 seconds) an unanswered extension before recalling.
