ESSAGING
The NBX system allows you (for the greeting-only mailbox) or the
administrator (for phantom or group mailboxes) to set up mailboxes for
special situations, as described in this section.
When you designate your mailbox as a greeting-only mailbox, callers hear
your personal greeting but they cannot leave a voice mail message.
To change your voice mailbox to a greeting-only mailbox, log in to the
NetSet utility and go to NBX Voice Mail Settings > Personal Greeting.
Select the Greeting Only Mailbox.
Examples:
When you take an extended leave of absence, you can create a
■
personal greeting with your scheduled date of return and whom to
call during your absence. Callers can be transferred but are unable to
leave voice messages for you. When you return, clear the Greeting
Only Mailbox check box so that callers can leave messages again.
If you are a teacher, you can create a new personal greeting on the
■
school's NBX system every day to explain homework assignments.
Students call in to the greeting-only mailbox to get the homework
information but cannot leave a message for you on this mailbox.
If you are the administrator, you can create a greeting-only mailbox
■
and use the personal greeting to post information for employees, such
as a notice that the offices are closed because of bad weather.
When you create the personal greeting, remember to tell callers that they
cannot leave messages in this voice mailbox. For instructions on changing
the personal greeting, see
Personal Greetings"
In addition to preventing a caller from leaving a message, a greeting-only
mailbox does not allow anyone to forward or create and send a message
to it or reply to a message that was sent from its extension
Avoid adding a greeting-only mailbox to a personal voice mail group list.
