Optional voice mail feature:
Guest mailboxes
Important: This is a special, optional feature not explained in the tutorial. Be sure to get your guest mailbox
number from the Administrator.
Guest mailboxes (300–489) are perfect for personnel such as outside sales or manufacturing
personnel who do not have an internal extension assigned to them but still need a mailbox. You can
handle a guest mailbox as it were a regular extension (i.e., list it in the directory, assign a programmable
feature key for transfer to it, etc.).
Notes: A guest mailbox must have at least one personal greeting recorded to be activated and, thus, able to
accept messages.
If your system is using IVX Presence Management, consult the IVX Presence Management User’s Guide
(ESI part # 0450-0793) to learn about additional, special functionality that may be available to you.
If you’re not sure whether your system is using IVX Presence Management, consult your System
Administrator. For more information about IVX Presence Management, visit www.esi-estech.com/presence.
Personal greetings
You can record up to three different personal greetings in your own voice indicating your availability to
return calls. Also, you can change the personal greetings as often as necessary by recording over a
previously recorded personal greeting. (See “Select personal greeting,” page D.1, to learn how to
program these greetings.)
Retrieving guest mailbox messages from an ESI Feature Phone
To retrieve guest mailbox messages from an ESI Feature Phone, follow the same procedure described
in “Retrieving voice mail messages using another user’s ESI Feature Phone” (page D.5), except that
you enter your guest mailbox number (in the range, 300–489) rather than an extension number.
