Changing The Mailbox No. Length Mode; Changing The Maximum Length Of Mailbox Numbers - Panasonic KX-TVM50 Installation Manual

6.2.1 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 dialogue in the KX-TVM Maintenance Console.
To change the Mailbox No. Length Mode, follow the procedure below.
1.
After you have started the KX-TVM 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 6.1.2 Quick
Setup).
Note
•
This command can only be used once. To change the Mailbox No. Length Mode from "Flexible" to
"Fixed", you must initialise the VPS (see 8.1 Initialising the VPS).

6.2.2 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-TVM Maintenance Console or when you initialise the system. However, it is
possible to change this setting by entering a special command using the Commands dialogue in the KX-TVM
Maintenance Console.
To change the maximum length of mailbox numbers, follow the procedure below.
1.
After you have started the KX-TVM 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 "MAXL" (the quotation marks are not needed) and the desired value (e.g., MAXL 8), then press
ENTER.
•
The maximum length of mailbox numbers can be changed to 2–8 digits.
4.
Once the VPS reports that the maximum length of mailbox numbers has been changed, disconnect the
VPS by clicking Disconnect.

You cannot change the maximum length of mailbox numbers to a number that is less than the length
of the current mailbox numbers.

To change the maximum length of mailbox numbers, you must first change the Mailbox No. Length
Mode to "Flexible" (see 6.2.1 Changing the Mailbox No. Length Mode). You cannot set the maximum
length of mailbox numbers to 6 or more digits when the Mailbox No. Length Mode is "Fixed".
