The <strong>VOS3000 IVR voice alarm configuration<\/strong> provides a hands-free NOC alerting mechanism that actually <em>calls<\/em> a designated phone number and plays an alarm audio message, requiring the recipient to acknowledge the alert by pressing a DTMF key.

This means the system will make up to 6 call attempts within each alarm period before waiting for the next period cycle. Combined with the default retry interval of 20 seconds (<strong>IVR_ALARM_RETRY_INTERVAL<\/strong>), this means an unacknowledged alarm generates up to 6 calls within approximately 100-120 seconds, followed by a 5-minute wait (<strong>IVR_ALARM_PERIOD<\/strong>) before the next cycle of up to 6 calls begins. This aggressive retry strategy ensures that critical alarms are not missed. \ud83d\udd27<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"\u2753-how-do-i-change-the-phone-number-that-voice-alarms-call\">\u2753 How do I change the phone number that voice alarms call?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>\ud83d\udcde To change the alarm destination number in the <strong>VOS3000 IVR voice alarm configuration<\/strong>, navigate to <strong>Operation management \u2192 Softswitch management \u2192 Additional settings \u2192 Audio service parameter<\/strong> and update the <strong>IVR_ALARM_CALLER_E164<\/strong> parameter with the new destination number in E.164 format. E.164 format includes the country code without any plus sign, spaces, or dashes \u2014 for example, 8801711119966 for a Bangladesh mobile number. After updating, save and apply the changes. The next alarm event will use the new destination number. Ensure the new number is reachable through an active call route in your VOS3000 system. \ud83d\udccb<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"\u2753-what-happens-if-the-alarm-call-goes-to-voicemail\">\u2753 What happens if the alarm call goes to voicemail?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>\ud83d\udced If an alarm call in the <strong>VOS3000 IVR voice alarm configuration<\/strong> is answered by a voicemail system instead of a human, the IVR will play the alarm pre-prompt audio (IVR_ALARM_PRE_AUDIO) and wait for the confirmation key (IVR_ALARM_CONFIRM_KEY) to be pressed. Since a voicemail system cannot press DTMF keys, the alarm will not be acknowledged, and the system will proceed to retry according to the IVR_ALARM_RETRY and IVR_ALARM_RETRY_INTERVAL settings. After all retries are exhausted, the system will wait for the next alarm period (IVR_ALARM_PERIOD) and start a new cycle. To avoid this issue, configure the alarm number to ring a phone that is always attended by operations staff, not a number with voicemail. \ud83d\udcde<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"\u2753-can-i-configure-multiple-alarm-destination-numbers\">\u2753 Can I configure multiple alarm destination numbers?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>\ud83d\udccb The <strong>VOS3000 IVR voice alarm configuration<\/strong> provides a single <strong>IVR_ALARM_CALLER_E164<\/strong> parameter for the alarm destination number. The VOS3000 manual does not specify support for multiple alarm destination numbers in this parameter. If you need to alert multiple recipients, consider using a hunt group, ring group, or call forwarding chain that rings multiple phones from a single number. Alternatively, you can use the VOS3000 <a href=\"https:\/\/multahost.com\/blog\/vos3000-monitoring-alarm\/\">monitoring alarm<\/a> system&#8217;s email notification feature to supplement voice alarms with email alerts sent to multiple recipients.
