Mailbox setup

Handset mailbox overview

Each handset has its own mailbox which is different from the general mailbox on the base. If you turn on the auto attendant on the base and fast answer mode on the handset, the caller is able to leave a message on the handset mailbox after two rings. If you do not turn on the fast answer mode on the handset, the answering system picks up the call after five rings and allows the caller to leave a message on the handset mailbox, call another extension, or call the operator.

Fast answer mode on or off

You can set the number of times your extension rings before the auto attendant asks the caller to leave you a message or choose another extension. The number of rings can be 2 (On) or 5 (Off). The default is 5 rings.

Set access code (remote access code) and mailbox security

You can enter a four-digit number (0000-9999) to allow remote access to your handset mailbox from any touch-tone telephone. Each handset has a different access code. Unless you change it, the access code is in numerical order for each handset (0001 for handset 1, 0002 for handset 2 and so on). To change the access code, you must choose a four-digit number that is not used by any other registered handset or base (0000 by default).

This access code is also used for Mailbox security. If you enable Mailbox security, each time you access the handset mailbox, you must enter the access code. If you use this code for the remote access purpose only, disable Mailbox security.
