SYS EXT mailbox (1080 only)

About system extension mailboxes

If a 1080 telephone is an auto attendant (page
46), it can be a system extension (SYS EXT)
mailbox for 1070 and 1040 telephones in the
system. When the 1080 phone is a SYS EXT
mailbox, it can answer calls transferred by
the auto attendant system and record caller's
messages for its SYS EXT telephones. These
messages are called extension messages. Each
extension message can be up to one minute.

System Extensions

If you want one or more of your 1080 telephones
to automatically record messages directed to
individual 1070 and 1040 telephones, you need to
customize these features. By doing this, you will
be linking specific 1080 phones with specific 1040
and 1070 system extensions.
Use AUTO SETUP to randomly assign all the
1040 and 1070 extensions to all the 1080
auto-attendant mailboxes. Any 1040 and 1070
extension can be assigned to only one 1080 auto
attendant.
If you want to control which 1040 and 1070
phones are assigned to a particular 1080 system
extension, use CUSTOM SETUP. You select a 1040
or 1070 set, and then decide which 1080 auto
attendant mailbox to assign to it.
If you don't want a 1080 set to record messages
for its 1040 and 1070 extensions, you can
UNASSIGN MBOXES. That 1080 set will no longer
be a system extension mailbox, and its 1040 and
1070 sets will no longer have a system extension
mailbox.
If the 1080 system extension mailbox is getting
full, messages for a specific 1040 or 1070 set, or
all 1040 and 1070 messages can be removed by
using REMOVE EXT MSGS.
