44CHAPTER 2: SETTING UP MESSAGING FEATURES

Alias Configuration Use the Alias Configuration feature to set up different numbers that are associated with and point to your mailbox. This allows the system to know your identity when you access the system from other media such as a mobile phone, a fax, or a different e-mail address.

For example, you could have the following office phone, cell phone, home phone, and a preferred e-mail address information:

12345 (office)

15554445562 (cell)

19996587234 (home)

myname@xyz.com (e-mail)

You configure the telephone numbers and the e-mail address as aliases of your IP Messaging (for example, mailbox number 5678). Consequently, all voice mails for the office, cell, and home phone numbers, and e-mail for the specified address, are associated with mailbox 5678. You can retrieve messages from any configured alias using regular mailbox features like password, personal greeting, and auto login. If you do not change these settings, the default settings apply (those used for the parent mailbox).

To assign an alias number to your mailbox or to edit, add, or delete an alias for your mailbox:

1From the Main menu, select Alias Configuration. The Alias Configuration screen appears.
