■
If you want to reassign a mailbox (move a mailbox from the current
extension to a different one), first use “Deleting a Mailbox” then use
“Creating a Mailbox.” Keep in mind that you should always delete
mailboxes from extensions to which you connect auxiliary equipment
(such as doorphones and fax machines) to keep the maximum number of
mailboxes available for subscribers.
■
If a subscriber forgets his or her password, use “Re-initializing a
Password” to return the password to the factory setting (1234).
Before you change mailbox assignments, you should review the next two
sections “Hardware Considerations” and “Guest Mailboxes” for details about
mailbox numbers.
Hardware Considerations
After you delete a mailbox, you can reassign that mailbox to another
subscriber’s extension using the “Creating a Mailbox” procedure. Remember
that mailbox numbers and extension numbers are the same. You can also
assign available mailboxes to extensions that do not have phones connected to
them so that guests—employees who work off-premises most of the time, such
as salespeople—can access messages while on the road. See “Guest
Mailboxes” on the next page for details.
After initial installation, you have default mailboxes for extensions 10–19 or
10–29. When you reassign mailboxes, you can use any mailbox in your
system’s dial plan. The dial plan is the maximum number of extensions
supported by your system. This means on a PARTNER Plus system, you can
create mailboxes for extensions 11 through 33; on a PARTNER II system, you
can create mailboxes for extensions 11 through 57. (Note that the mailbox at
extension 10 cannot be deleted.) Figure 5-3 shows the dial plan for both
systems.
