First Time Login

The first time you call your mailbox, the system prompts you to set a mailbox password and to record your name. The system uses the password to control access to your messages and mailbox settings. It uses the name you record in announcements to callers. Though set during the initial mailbox login, you can change the password and change the recorded name at any time.

To login:

1.

Dial *17.

2.

At the prompt, if dialing from your own extension, press #. Otherwise, enter your extension number and press #.

 

3.

When prompted for a password press #. If this is not accepted, contact your system administrator who may have already set a password for your mailbox.

4.

If no password is already set, the system requests you to set a password for your mailbox. Enter a new password and press #.

 

•

Enter at least four digits and up to 15. Do not set an obvious code. For example:

•

Your extension number.

 

•

A sequence of digits, for example 1234.

•

The same repeated digits, for example 1111.

 

5.

The system will prompt you if the password does not meet its requirements. Re-enter the new password and press #.

6.

The system now requests you to record your name.

 

a.

Press 1. At the tone, speak your name and then press 1 again.

b.

The system plays back your recording. Press # to accept the recording or 1 to record again.

 

7.

After you log in, the voice prompts provide instructions. See Default Mailbox Controls for a summary of the controls.

 

Normal Login

If you have already completed a first time login, the subsequent login process is much faster.

To login:

1.

Dial *17.

2.

The system prompts you to enter the number of the mailbox you want to access. If dialing from your own extension, for your mailbox, just press #. Otherwise, enter your extension number and press #.

 

3.

If requested, enter your password and press #. The system requests a password if you are accessing a mailbox from a number not set as a trusted source for that mailbox.

Visual Voice

Visual Voice allows you to access your mailbox using the display menu of your phone rather than following spoken mailbox prompts. Not all phones support Visual Voice.

To use Visual Voice your system maintainer must add a Visual Voice button to your phone. Alternatively, your system maintainer can set the MESSAGES button on your phone to act as a Visual Voice button.

•

On phones that have a display but do not support visual voice operation, use of the button for user mailbox access using voice prompts and for direct to voicemail transfer during a call is supported (does not include T3 and T3 IP phones).

•

On T3 phones, the Visual Voice button goes direct to the Listen function of Visual Voice. To access the full set of Visual Voice functions use Menu > Settings > Voicemail Settings.

 

Visual Voice Controls

The arrangement of options on the screen will vary depending on the phone type and display size. You can access controls not shown on the current display by using the phone's < and > buttons to move between screen pages.
