Public Distribution Lists Unity 7.0

[nixon1234]

We have a need to send a broadcast voice message to a DL for only a handfull of users. I looked into broadcast messaging but you can not edit users as far as I can tell. I set up a test Public DL and added a few users into it but I seem to be missing a step or I am not really sure how it is supposed to work. I checked for documentation and find it on how to set up the DL but not much else.

Any help would be great!

Thanks!

Hi William,

No worries, the first couple I've set up on Unity Connection lost me

as well

One thing we have done is to assign a "phantom" DN to System DL's

to make it easier to send to them. Sending by name is a tad tedious

to say the least. Use any unused number for this. here is an example;

So you have a new test_dl

assign 1333 for extension on Edit Distribution ListPage

set up/assign members

exit

Access your mailbox

enter PIN

Press x to send (depends on conversation you are using)

record new "Broadcast" message

press#

send to 1333 press# to send

MWI lamps will light on test_dl member phones

and new "Broadcast" message will be received.

Cheers!

Rob

This is standard unity not unity connection..does this make a difference?

Do I set the owner as myself to test?

HIWilliam,

DOH!! It would help if I could read

Try it first with you as the Owner;
