Configure the Recording Idle Time-Out Value on a UM Dial Plan

  • Article

 

Applies to: Exchange Server 2010 SP3, Exchange Server 2010 SP2

You can specify the number of seconds of silence that the system allows when a voice message is being recorded before the call is ended. For most organizations, this value should be set to the default: 5 seconds.

This value can be set from 2 through 10. Setting this value too low can cause the system to disconnect callers before they've finished leaving their voice messages. Setting this value too high allows lengthy silences in voice messages.
