2 AastraLink RP System Administrator Guide
System Overview
System Overview
The AastraLink RP Solution offers ground-breaking voice recognition software powered by Microsoft alongside the quality
business phone features you have come to expect from Aastra IP phones.
Summary of System Features
Voice Recognition
The AastraLink RP Solution is a phone system that offers a voice-activated user interface for a variety of phone tasks,
saving you time otherwise spent looking up numbers. Voice-activated dialing, call handling, and voicemail retrieval
are powered by robust Microsoft Response Point software.
Auto-Discovery
All components of the AastraLink RP Solution are designed to be sensed by the Response Point software automatically on
your LAN. Once everything is plugged in and turned on, setting up and configuring the AastraLink RP Solution is a
straightforward process done on the system administrator’s PC.
Microsoft Response Point Administrator
The Microsoft Response Point Administrator software administers the AastraLink RP Solution. This software is installed
only on the system administrator’s computer, and controls the basic settings for all individual phone extensions as well as
the base unit and gateway. Using the Administrator, system settings such as the date and time, call-routing plan, and
extension numbers may be configured with ease.

phone user in the Aastralink RP Solution to specify their own user preferences, such as their nicknames, directory listing,
voicemail options, and call-forwarding settings.

the AastraLink 500 Base Unit, the AastraLink 540 Gateway, all Aastra RP phones, the system administrator’s PC, and phone
users’ PCs (for the Assistant software).

following system programs:
• Microsoft Windows XP Professional or Home Edition, with Service Pack 2 (SP2, 32-bit) and with the latest security
updates
• Microsoft Windows Vista (32-bit) with the latest security updates
• Windows Server 2003 R2 SP2, 32-bit
• Small Business Server 2003 R2, 32-bit

• Microsoft Office Outlook
• Windows Address Book (for Windows XP)
• Windows Contacts (for Windows Vista)
• Business Contact Manager

Adding Users
When you configure a new phone using the Configure Phone Wizard, at least one primary user must be assigned to the new
phone. You can also add additional users at any time on the Phone System page by clicking Add User.

the person who will use this phone. You should specify nicknames and titles if you think callers will use them when
asking for this user.
12 AastraLink RP System Administrator Guide
Using Administrator
4 If you chose the user type Group, Job Role, or Location, type the applicable name in the Name box, and type any other
names in the Alternate name 1 and Alternate name 2 boxes.
5 Click OK in the User Properties dialog box.
Recording User Names
The name you have assigned to a user will be added to the directory, and will be the name callers hear when they ask the
Automated Receptionist to speak to a user. The recorded name can be changed by specifying a different name for the
computer-generated speech, or recording a sound file of your own.
The words that the Automated Receptionist will use to confirm a caller's request are not always the same as the user name
or directory entry. For example, a caller may request to speak to "Ms. Margheim." However, you may want the Automated
Receptionist to say "Diane Margheim" in confirmation, and the user name may be "Dr. Margheim".
Note: Individual users may also change the spoken name or file used for their name through the Assistant software.
Using computer-generated speech
Using Administrator you can listen to the computer-generated name for a user or to change the name being spoken.
To edit or check the computer-generated user name, do the following.
1 Click the Phone System button.
2 In the Tasks pane, under Users, click Edit user. The Select a user to edit list opens.

files. If this text-to-speech program is not available, Response Point chooses another Microsoft TTS program that comes with
your operating system, regardless of which TTS program you've manually specified in Windows.
Recording audio from a phone
If you are not satisfied with the computer-generated speech, you can specify that callers hear a recording after they ask to
speak to a user. The recording is made from any phone extension on the AastraLink RP Solution.

9 When you are satisfied with the recording, click OK.
10 Click OK to close the Specify Spoken Name dialog.
11 Click OK once more to finish editing the user.
Using a Prerecorded Sound File
You may use an existing sound file if you prefer. The sound file needs to be recorded in a sound recording application such
as Windows Sound Recorder, available in the Windows XP operating system. (Windows Vista includes a different recording
capability. Review the documentation for Windows Vista to learn how to make recordings.)
When using a sound recording application to create sound files, use the PCM format and make sure that the sound files are
8 kHz, 16 bit, mono, WAV files. Likewise, you may find that the volume is too low. Adjust the volume in the sound recording
application to your liking.
Make sure that the sound file for your name does not exceed 10 seconds.
To upload a prerecorded sound file to the base unit, do the following.
1 Click the Phone System button.
2 In the Tasks pane, under Users, click Edit user. Select the name of the user you want to edit and click OK.
3 Click the Identification tab, if it is not displayed.
4 Click the Record Name... button. The Specify Spoken Name dialog appears.
5 Click the Use a prerecorded sound file uploaded to the base unit button.
6 Click Choose New File.
7 Browse to your .WAV file location, select the file you want to upload and click Open.
8 Click Play to ensure recording quality.
9 When you are satisfied with the recording, click OK.
Note: If you select a file that is not a sound file in the right format, an error message will be displayed.
Click OK to return to the Specify Spoken Name dialog, and choose an appropriate file or another option.
10 Click OK to close the Specify Spoken Name dialog.
11 Click OK once more to finish editing the user.
