Configuring a SPA400 for Voice Mail Service

The SPA400 includes a USB adapter with an integrated voice mail application for the users and extensions that are configured on the SPA9000. The integrated voice mail application server supports 32 configurable voice mail accounts. Although a SPA9000 can be configured with up to four SPA400 devices, only one SPA400 can be configured with the voice mail server.

NOTE Important: For optimum voice mail performance, a SPA400 should be dedicated to the voice mail application when either of the following conditions is met:

1)More than 2 FXO connections are required —OR—

2)More than 2 users commonly access voice mail at the same time.

This section includes the following topics:

•“Voice Mail Capacity,” on page112

•“Configuring Local Voice Mail Service on a SPA400,” on page113

•“Setting Up Voice Mail on Each Station,” on page116

•“Enabling Remote Voice Mail Access (Optional),” on page119

NOTE Before you begin any of the procedures in this section, configure a SPA9000 line interface for this device. See “Configuring a Line Interface for a SPA400 (PSTN or Voice Mail),” on page 60.

Voice Mail Capacity

The provided 128-Mb USB drive can store more than 3.8 hours of messages (approximately 230 60-second messages). For example, with 10 voice mail users, each user can store up to 23 60-second messages. When disk capacity is reached, inbound voice mail deposit attempts are disconnected. If additional voice mail storage is required, please contact Linksys for recommended high-capacity USB drives.
