ESI-50L Programming Manual Function 5: Voice mail programming
H.1
Function 5: Voice mail programming
To simplify initial installation, all programmed extensions will automatically have the generic personal greeting,
“You have reached the mailbox for extension [xxx].” The mailbox user should replace this with a personalized
greeting. Each mailbox must have a greeting recorded for the ESI system to consider the mailbox active.
Function 51: Maximum message/recording length
Although the system will store only the actual message as left by the caller, the time set here is the maximum
time to allow for a message. The range is 1–60 minutes for messages, and 1–120 minutes for recordings and
greetings. (The maximum number of new messages and recordings in a mailbox, regardless of length, is 128.)
Default: 3 (minutes) for messages, 10 (minutes) for recordings.
Function 52: Message purge control
To avoid having unneeded messages filling up the system’s memory, values entered here will establish how
messages are to be automatically erased by the system if its Memory Module’s free space gets too low. The
system’s purge routine will begin only when the system's Memory Module is 95% full and will remove messages,
down to 90% full, according to the following programmed values:
Value Meaning
New New messages older than the number of days programmed.
Old Old messages older than the number of days programmed.
Group Group mailbox messages older than the number of days programmed.
Rec Recordings that are older than the days indicated.
Del Message Recycle Bin messages older than the number of days programmed.
The range for each item is 0–365 days. A “0” indicates that a type of message is not to be removed unless
deleted by the user.
Example: To set the system to erase old messages more than 3 days old and group messages more than 5 days
older and not to erase any newly deleted messages or recordings (if the system’s Memory Module becomes
full), enter 0, 3, 5, 0 and 0 as prompted.
Note: If the Memory Module becomes full but no message or recording can be purged according to the settings,
callers will hear a “voice-mail-full” prompt until free space becomes available on the Memory Module.
Default: 0, 0, 0, 0, 0.
