22 Chapter 3 CallPilot mailboxes

You can apply dialing restrictions to display telephones and the extensions connected to the system. For more information on restricting outdialing refer to “Restricting outdialing” on page 23.

If you set the Outdial route to anything but None, there is a potential for unauthorized long-distance dialing. You can prevent this by creating outdialing restrictions.

Alternate extensions

You can assign up to two alternate extensions to each Subscriber Mailbox. If a caller dials the main extension (the mailbox that has alternate extensions assigned), the call rings at the main extension only.

Note: The exception to this is if alternate extensions are assigned an Answer DN for the main extension. Answer DNs are assigned to extensions in system programming.

For more information refer to your system documentation.

Only extensions that do not have a mailbox assigned can be used as an alternate extension. There are no default alternate extensions for Subscriber mailboxes.

Alternate extensions receive the same Message Waiting Indication and Caller Display information as the primary extension. Subscribers can use the Open Mailbox feature (≤·°⁄) from alternate extensions to access messages from their primary extension.

Subscribers can use the Interrupt feature (≤·°‡) on an alternate extension the same way the same way they use ≤·°‡on a primary extension.

Express Messaging Line

When you create a Subscriber mailbox, you can assign an Express Messaging Line to it. Instead of assigning an extension number to the Subscriber mailbox, assign an Express Messaging Line. If you assign an Express Messaging Line, voice calls are left in the Subscriber Mailbox without ringing at the set. Inform the subscriber that they should frequently check their mailbox for messages because they do not receive Message Waiting Notification.

The line used for Express Messaging must be between 1 and 500. Give the corresponding seven digit phone number associated with the line you assign as the Express Messaging Line to the subscriber. For example, if line 20 is the Express Messaging Line and the corresponding phone number is 555-2424, give this phone number to the subscriber. After you assign a line to a mailbox, you cannot use the line for another function until you remove it from the mailbox.

The prime set for the Express Messaging Line must be set to the voicemail DN. For more information refer to your system documentation. The Express Messaging default is none.
