A powerful voice messaging platform is critical to the success of any business.
PathFinder IS delivers features typically available only on larger, server-based systems.
PathFinder IS provides most of the robust features of Vodavi's server-based Digital PathFinder messaging platform and delivers them in an In-Skin solution for the XTS-IP and XTSc-IP product platforms.The hardware installs directly into the XTS system cabinet, making it a feature-rich and cost-effective voice mail solution for small and medium-sized businesses.
PathFinder IS is a 12 port system with unlimited mailboxes and over 200 hours of message storage.The most popular features of
PathFinder IS are:
Automated Attendant
The
Automated Attendant feature allows for operator-free
call routing and transfer after hours or anytime,
thus streamlining your operations. Dial-by-name can
also be used to help callers find the correct
extension. Park and page is a unique feature that
allows callers on hold to page the intended call
recipient throughout a facility.*
Answering Machine
Emulation
Screen
calls
by listening to voice mail messages as they are
being recorded. You can pick up the phone and speak
with the caller directly, or simply monitor the
incoming message for follow-up at a later time. This
allows users to enhance productivity by screening
for important calls.
Locator Feature
In addition to cell
phone and pager notification, a series of attempts
can be programmed according to the users preference
using the locator feature. This helps to ensure that
important calls are not missed. For example, if
there is no answer at an extension, an alternate
extension may be attempted, or the call can be
forwarded to a cell phone before the option of
leaving a voice mail is triggered.
Fax Management
Incoming
faxes can be
automatically routed to an appropriate fax machine
for delivery. Alternatively, using OneLook Unified
Messaging, faxes can also be delivered to the users
e-mail Inbox.**
One Touch Record
Save
those
important conversations with one touch record. When
the conversation becomes too detailed for
note-taking, or you simply want to record a
conversation for playback at a later date, One Touch
Record is an invaluable tool.

Features

three features are licensed on a per user basis.
PathFinder IS comes standard with five OneLook user

Each user license grants access to all three
features.
OneLook Unified
Messaging
With
OneLook Unified Messaging, users can receive ALL
forms of communication… e-mails, FAX and voice mail
messages, in one central location – the user’s
e-mail Inbox. This increases productivity by
enabling users to quickly sort and share messages,
even with users outside the house system.

Control
This
feature allows users to interact with an incoming
call from their desktop PC screen. Users can accept
the call, send to voice mail, place the caller on
hold, transfer the call, or play a unique message to
the caller, all without ever having picked up the
handset. When used in combination with Caller ID
information, this is a powerful productivity tool.
Desktop
Mailbox Editor
Users can customize
their mailbox greetings using their PC. For this, a
sound card and microphone are required. More useful
is the e-mail contacts database of Mailbox Editor.
Users that keep their contacts up-to-date can reply
to a voice mail with an e-mail message, or auto-dial
a reply call directly while listening to a voice
mail message. These features are great for busy
professionals and traveling employees.
