regularly updated and settings may change slightly. For example, "On" to
"Enable" or a parameter can be moved to another directory.
Voice mail
In some systems it is needed to assign the telephone number of the Voice Mail service. The
parameter can be set specifically for each PBX subscription on the telephone and is accessed
from Systems > System x > PBX Settings > Numbers. "System x" is replaced with the
subscription (System A - System H) that is configured.
When programming voice mail dial strings in PDM/Device Manager it is possible to use a
wildcard character, N, to represent the phone's extension number.
For example, a PBX uses voicemail numbers that are a combination of a base voice mail
number and the phone's extension number. If the base voice mail number is 2222 and the
extension number is 4455, the voicemail number is 22224455. Using the N wildcard character
this can be written as: 2222N.
Contacts
It is possible to create a local phonebook that is administered centrally and uploaded to the
telephone from PDM/AIWS. The contacts will only include work number and can be edited in
the telephone. You can also import the phonebook through WinPDM.
Creating a local phonebook file
The local phonebook file is created by the tool Local Phonebook.xls.
