1.9.11.1 Changing the Mailbox No. Length Mode

By default, if both 3-digit and 4-digit extension numbers are used by the PBX, the VPS will use 4-digit mailbox
numbers. When creating mailbox numbers for 3-digit extensions, a "0" will be added to the end of each mailbox
number. However, it is possible to program the VPS to allow mailbox numbers of mixed length by entering a
special command using the Commands dialog in the KX-TVA Maintenance Console.
To change the Mailbox No. Length Mode, follow the procedure below.
1.
After you have started the KX-TVA Maintenance Console and connected to the VPS, select Utility in the
menu bar.
2.
Select Commands.
(You can click the icon in the tool bar instead of step 1 and 2.)
3.
Enter "MBXM 1" (the quotation marks are not needed), then press ENTER.
4.
Once the VPS reports that the mode has been changed to "Flexible", disconnect the VPS by clicking
Disconnect.
You should now run Quick Setup and Auto Configuration to configure the mailboxes (see 1.9.1 Utility—
Quick Setup).
Note
•
This command can only be used once. To change the Mailbox No. Length Mode from "Flexible" to
"Fixed", you must initialize the VPS (see 8.1 Initializing the VPS in the Installation Manual).

1.9.11.2 Changing the Maximum Length of Mailbox Numbers

The maximum number of digits that can be used for mailbox numbers is set using the Set Default
Parameters utility in the KX-TVA Maintenance Console or when you initialize the system. However, it is possible
to change this setting by entering a special command using the Commands dialog in the KX-TVA Maintenance
Console.
To change the maximum length of mailbox numbers, follow the procedure below.
