Adding a Special Purpose Extension
Special purpose extensions are added to the database for purposes other than
as normal end-points for voice, fax, or data transmission. For example, special
purpose extensions can be used to provide a mail box for subscribers who do not
need a physical telephone extension but who would like to be able to receive and
retrieve voice mail (guest mailboxes).
NOTE:
For this procedure, you must use an extension number that is not already
defined in the Extension Directory database. Do not use an extension that
starts with the same digits as regular extensions and adjuncts on the
switch. For example, do not use 123 as a special purpose extension if 12
is a regular extension. For more information about special purpose
extensions and guidelines to use when creating special purpose extension
numbers, see the
