Setting Up a Substitute
You can activate the substitute function whenever you are not in the office,
for example when you are on vacation. After hearing your greeting, callers
are connected with the substitute of your choice (e.g. a colleague), de-
pending on the status of your message recording function. You only need
to inform HiPath Xpressions Compact of your substitute’s telephone num-
ber (extension number).
Call the HiPath Xpressions Compact number and scroll through your mail-
box with the
key respectively
until you hear the system message which indicates that no substitute
number is available. After pressing the
key, you can enter the extension number of the desired substitute, i.e.
of your colleague. End your entry by pressing
Next, inform your mailbox that you wish to be represented by your substi-
tute: After scrolling back with the
key, you’ll hear the system message which indicates that the substi-
tute function is switched off. Press the
key once to turn on the substitute function.
Don’t forget to inform your callers in your greeting message that they will
be connected with a substitute.
Check to see whether or not your substitute has set up his or her mailbox,
and if so, make sure that message recording has been activated.
