Description
Voicemail Code Default = Blank, Range = 0 (no code) to 15 digits. This
field can be used to set a mailbox access code. That
code must then be entered by anyone attempting to
retrieve messages from the mailbox. If remote access is
attempted to a mailbox that has no voicemail code set,
the prompt, "Remote access is not configured on this
mailbox" is played.
The mailbox user can change the code by dialing *04
after having entered the mailbox.
Some rules apply to the voicemail code when the
minimum password length is set to a value other than
none. The voicemail code cannot be:
• the same as the extension number
• the same as the previous one
• consecutive digits
• a single repeated digit
• a code with fewer digits than the minimum password
