SYS EXT mailbox (1080 only)
About system extension mailboxes
If a 1080 telephone is an auto attendant (page 46), it can be a system extension (SYS EXT) mailbox for 1070 and 1040 telephones in the system. When the 1080 phone is a SYS EXT mailbox, it can answer calls transferred by the auto attendant system and record caller’s messages for its SYS EXT telephones. These messages are called extension messages. Each extension message can be up to one minute.
System Extensions
If you want one or more of your 1080 telephones to automatically record messages directed to individual 1070 and 1040 telephones, you need to customize these features. By doing this, you will be linking specific 1080 phones with specific 1040 and 1070 system extensions.
Use AUTO SETUP to randomly assign all the 1040 and 1070 extensions to all the 1080
If you want to control which 1040 and 1070 phones are assigned to a particular 1080 system extension, use CUSTOM SETUP. You select a 1040 or 1070 set, and then decide which 1080 auto attendant mailbox to assign to it.
If you don’t want a 1080 set to record messages for its 1040 and 1070 extensions, you can UNASSIGN MBOXES. That 1080 set will no longer be a system extension mailbox, and its 1040 and 1070 sets will no longer have a system extension mailbox.
If the 1080 system extension mailbox is getting full, messages for a specific 1040 or 1070 set, or all 1040 and 1070 messages can be removed by using REMOVE EXT MSGS.
