Success of the MWI DN configuration depends on switch configuration
options that vary from one software version to another. If the MWI
DN options that you configure do not work, refer to the Installation and
Configuration Task List (NN44200-306).
Switch configuration
Each mailbox owner has the same telephone DN configured on the switch.

Setting up mailboxes for users who share a single DN

feature, you can provide each student with a separate mailbox for personal
voice messages. Consider the following when planning for this feature at
your site:
