Which DuVoice voicemail system will work with my Avaya Definity phone system?

All DuVoice vociemail systems will work with the Avaya Definity phone systems. For Definity systems with version 6.2 and older software, the voice mail system will require a digital integration card to fully integrate.


The voicemail is not turning on the MWI for my Mitel SX50 with MS55 software.
FAQID: FAQ030819 Version: All
The MS55 software on the Mitel SX50 uses different MWI codes:

72, E (extension) is MWI on.
76, E (extension) is MWI off.


I made some changes to the lines on the voice mail and my Avaya Magix, now my message waiting lights won't work.
FAQID: FAQ030821 Version: All
The Magix/Legend wants the same extension that turned on the MWI to turn off the MWI. Otherwise, the light will not extinguish.

In order for the MWIs to function again, you must turn off the MWI manually:

On the system phone itself, press the 'Menu' button and select 'More' until 'Messages' appear on the dislplay.

Select 'Messages' and choose the 'Delete' function. This will turn off the MWI.


I have several people complaining their messages are delayed in getting to their mailbox.
FAQID: FAQ030824 Version: All
Most of these are usually not as a result as a 'delayed' message but rather the message waiting indication sent by the voice mail was not processed or received by the phone system. The most common phone system to have this occur is the Avaya Legend/Magix line.

With the help of a phone system technician, remove the notification port extension from the voice mail hunt group. This will use the notification port strictly as a notification port. This will also lessen the possibility of an occurence called a 'collision'.


I am connected to the voice mail using a Mitel ONS/ML/EL phone system and it just plays the main greeting.
FAQID: FAQ030826 Version: All
Verify the forwarding and access codes to the voice mail in the Mitel CDE Form 31.

The voice mail system expects a # and the extension number to forward the caller to a specific mailbox. The voice mail system also expects a * and the extension number when subscribers try to log into their mailbox using their phones.
