Integrations Supported
You can configure variable length mailboxes with all integrations which are supported except for
the Omni S1 series and the MD-110.
Server Time-and-Date Stamp for Messages
The time-and-date stamp is optional information that the server can add to every message, to tell
the recipient when the message was recorded. If a mailbox owner plays the message the same
day it arrives, only the time is given (for example, 2 p.m.). If the mailbox owner plays the
message on a later day within the same week, the day of the week and the time are announced
(for example, Monday, 2 p.m.). If the mailbox owner plays a message more than a week after it
was received, the day of the week, date, and time are given (for example, Monday, May 11, 2
p.m.).
Time Zone Offset
A mailbox time zone offset is a number the server adds to or subtracts from the hour portion of a
message’s time stamp. This allows mailbox owners to convert the time stamp on a message to
the time zone of their choice.
The server converts the time in a mailbox, so only the mailbox owner hears the converted time
stamp for a message. Users sending messages to or receiving messages from such a mailbox
hear the server’s normal time stamp.
This ability is useful for mailbox owners who live and work in a time zone different from the one
where their server is located.
The time zone offset affects all types of messages except call placement.
Mailbox Configuration Parameters
When you create a mailbox from the console, the time zone offset is one of the mailbox
configuration parameters.
The Mailbox Data Report displays the time zone offset, along with other parameter settings.
Example of Use
Suppose a mailbox owner works in Atlanta, but uses an server based in San Jose. By default, all
the mailbox owner’s messages would have a time stamp based on San Jose’s time zone. If
someone sends the mailbox owner a message at 2 p.m. Pacific Standard Time, that is the time
stamp the mailbox owner hears for this message.
However, if the time zone offset in a mailbox owner’s mailbox has a value of 3, the server tells the
mailbox owner that same message was sent at 5 p.m. The sender of the message, though,
hears that the server sent the message at 2 p.m.
Tutorials
The standard tutorial, which gives basic instructions to a mailbox owner on how to set up a new
mailbox, is automatically enabled when a mailbox is created. The standard tutorial is
not
available, however, if NP TDD is enabled. When the tutorial is accessed the first time on a new
