Description

The mail system needs to know the maximum number of digits that a caller or subscriber is allowed to dial to transfer to an extension, Calling Group, Hunt Group, or mailbox.

If the only three-digit extensions that callers need to transfer to are 771–776, and there are no other three- or four-digit mailboxes, leave the Maximum Digit Length set to 2. However, if there are three- or four-digit mailboxes other than 771–776, you must set the Maximum Digit Length to 3 or 4, as appropriate.
