+ Auto-Increment, USER Table Input Aid
When entering a sequence of mailboxes into the USER Table, the auto-increment input aid allows
you to enter a +after the COS to automatically increment to the next sequential mailbox/extension
number. If the extension field is N, only the mailbox number is incremented. The COS is not
changed. Auto-increment does not cross over to a new first digit. If it is attempted, the Octel 200/300
prompts:
SORRY, (“+”) AUTOINCREMENT CAN’T CROSS FIRSTDIGIT BOUNDARY.
For example, to enter a sequence of mailbox numbers one by one, enter the mailbox, extension,
COS, and +. The next line displays the mailbox and COS, copied from the previous range, increasing
the number by one. To continue increasing, type a +after the COS. Press Enter to goto the next
mailbox. To stop incrementing the numbers, do not enter the +, just press Enter .The next line will
have no information in it, and the next mailbox may be entered.
The extension number does not need to match the mailbox number to use auto-increment. If mailbox
and extension numbers do not match, be sure the extension number is supposed to be incremented, as
well as the mailbox number. If not, do not use auto-increment.
This example shows how to enter mailbox information using auto-increment. The bold characters are
what was entered.
:4500,4501,0+
:4501,4502,0+
:4502,4503,0
:4700,N,1
:4800,N,5
Adding Mailboxes in Ranges, USER Table Input Aid
To addmailboxes into the USER Table in ranges, enter the first and last mailbox numbers, the first
extension number, and common COS. The mailbox and extension numbers are incremented by one,
and the COS remains the same for all entries.
This example shows how to enter mailbox information in ranges.
:45004599,4600,0
For this example, mailboxes 45004599, with corresponding extension numbers 46004699, each
with COS 0, are added to the USER Table.
.Mailbox and extension numbers cannot cross a first digit boundary. Auto-increment cannot be
used when adding in ranges.
