SYS EXT mailbox (1080 only)
About system extension mailboxes
If a 1080 telephone is an auto attendant
(page 46), it can be a system extension (SYS
EXT) mailbox for 1070 and 1040 telephones in
the system. When the 1080 phone is a SYS EXT
mailbox, it can answer calls transferred by the auto
attendant system and record caller’s messages for
its SYS EXT telephones. These messages are called
extension messages. Each extension message can
be up to one minute.
System Extensions
If you want one or more of your 1080 telephones
to automatically record messages directed to
individual 1070 and 1040 telephones, you need to
customize these features. By doing this, you will be
linking specic 1080 phones with specic 1040 and
1070 system extensions.
Use AUTO SETUP to randomly assign all the 1040
and 1070 extensions to all the 1080 auto-attendant
mailboxes. Any 1040 and 1070 extension can be
assigned to only one 1080 auto attendant.
If you want to control which 1040 and 1070
phones are assigned to a particular 1080 system
extension, use CUSTOM SETUP. You select a 1040
or 1070 set, and then decide which 1080 auto
attendant mailbox to assign to it.
If you don’t want a 1080 set to record messages
for its 1040 and 1070 extensions, you can
UNASSIGN MBOXES. That 1080 set will no longer
be a system extension mailbox, and its 1040 and
1070 sets will no longer have a system extension
mailbox.
If the 1080 system extension mailbox is getting
full, messages for a specic 1040 or 1070 set, or all
1040 and 1070 messages can be removed by using
REMOVE EXT MSGS.
