VOICE MAIL

A key component of the NBX Networked Telephony Solutions is the NBX Messaging System, which includes voice mail, off-site notification, and several administrative features.

Voice mail allows callers to leave voice messages in your voice mailbox when you are not able to answer your telephone. You can listen to, save, and forward those messages from any touch-tone telephone. In certain circumstances, you can also be notified about your voice mail messages through your email.

The NBX system provides several types of voice mailboxes. The most common type of mailbox is a personal voice mailbox, which is associated with a specific telephone and a specific user. Other types of voice mailboxes, which are described at the end of this chapter, include greeting-only mailbox, phantom mailbox, and group mailbox.

You use the Off-Site Notification feature if you want the NBX system to notify you when callers leave voice mail messages in your voice mailbox. See “Off-Site Notification” in Chapter 6.

The steps for setting up personal, phantom, and greeting-only voice mailboxes are the same. See “Setting Up Your Voice Mail” in Chapter 1 for details. Your administrator creates group mailboxes.

The default setting for maximum voice mail message length is 5 minutes. Your administrator can configure your organization’s NBX messaging system to receive and store voice mail messages that are up to 10 minutes long.

If your system uses a messaging application other than NBX Voice Messaging (such as third-party messaging), use the documentation for that messaging application instead of these instructions.
