Group Mailboxes

DS2000 Release Notes
A Group Mailbox is a Subscriber Mailbox shared by a group of co-workers. If a caller leaves a
message at any extension within the group, the system stores the message in the Group Mailbox.
The Ring/Message lamp at all keyset extensions in the group flashes to indicate that there is a new
voice mail message waiting. Any extension user in the group can log onto their mailbox to hear and
process the shared message. The message count on all keyset displays increments and decrements
as group messages are received, listened to, or deleted.
Group Mailboxes are helpful in both residential installations and larger business workgroups, since
extensions share a common voice mailbox. Messages in the Group Mailbox can be listened to, for-
warded, deleted, and otherwise processed by any member of the group.
Group Mailbox uses Ring Group programming. You can separately set up Ring Group members to
have the same Group Mailbox. Since the system provides 8 Ring Groups, there are a total of 8
Group Mailboxes available.

Programming

1802-Ring Group Number
Enter the Ring Group to which the extension belongs (1-8). The Ring Group assignment determines
which Master Mailbox the system uses as the Group Mailbox. By default, this entry is 0 (no Ring
Group assigned).

Note: If 1808-Mailbox Type = 2 (Group) and there is no Ring Group assignment, the extension has
no mailbox, just as if 1808-Mailbox Type was 0 (None).
1808-Mailbox Type
For each extension that should share the Group Mailbox, enter 2. The other options are 1 (Personal
Mailbox) and 0 (no mailbox enabled). By default, this option is 1 (Personal Mailbox).
This option replaces 1808-Mailbox Active in prior software versions.
8005-Mailbox Type
Use this option to set the mailbox type for Master Mailbox used as the Group Mailbox. The entries
are 1 (Call Routing), 2 (Announcement), 3 (Subscriber), and 4 (Directory Dialing). By default, this
option is 3 (Subscriber).
