[cisco-voip] FW: Broadcast voicemail

[Tim Reimers]

Does anyone have a URL for instructions on configuring a broadcast
message like that?
 
I see discussion of pros/cons so far, but no one actually posting about
how to set it up...
 
which was what Kevin was asking for...(and I'm interested in too)

Never heard of MWI throttling, I'll look it up. Last time we did a big
mailing to all subscribers I just posted it in the evening the day
before, I was concerned that all the MWI requests would start delaying
other MWI operations, which our users seem to be very sensitive to. But
then when they came the next day the voicemail system got slammed with
higher than normal traffic. some sort of throttling might help.

You're right, I was thinking of re-synch actually. Does Unity treat the
re-synch operation seperately than if it just had like 1500 lights to
turn on though?

wanted to
	point out that, if you're worried about everyone calling in at
the same
	time, you can enable MWI throttling, so that they don't all go
out at once.
