Bulletin Board
Or a Bulletin Board message could list the homework assignments for a class at a
school. In this case, the Dial 0 Destination might be the Automated Attendant Main
Menu. For example:
“The homework assignment for March 15th is to read pages 61 through 84
in your Geography textbook and to answer questions 1 through 10 on
page 78. There will be a quiz on Chapters 1 through 3 on Thursday. To
hear this message again, press [

] now. To get homework assignments
for other classes, press [ 0 ]. If you are finished, please hang up.”
Considerations and Constraints
A Bulletin Board mailbox cannot be changed to a mailbox of another type by
modifying the mailbox’s Class of Service. The Bulletin Board mailbox must be deleted
and a new mailbox should be created. Similarly, the Class of Service of a non-Bulletin
Board mailbox cannot be changed to that of a Bulletin Board mailbox. The old
mailbox must be deleted and a new Bulletin Board mailbox should be created.
When a caller is listening to a Bulletin Board message, the mail port that the caller is
using is not available for other calls. Therefore, you must take into account port usage
when creating Bulletin Board mailboxes. If you want to have many Bulletin Board
mailboxes, you may want to add more ports to the system. Contact your salesperson
or authorized dealer.
Callers cannot leave a message in the Bulletin Board mailbox. Subscribers cannot
send messages to a Bulletin Board mailbox.
Related Communications System Features
You can create a Bulletin Board mailbox for an unused extension within the dial plan
(extensions 10–57 for a PARTNER II system or extensions 10–33 for a PARTNER Plus
system, 71–74, 771–776) and assign a communications system Voice Mail Transfer
button to the users’ phones so calls can be sent to the mailbox with one touch. Refer
to communications system Planning Forms B1 and B2 to identify unused extensions.

In some cases, Announcements (Automated Attendant) may be more
appropriate to your needs than Bulletin Board messages. See “Bulletin Boards
and Announcements” on page 5-15 for a comparison.
Callers can use the Directory to reach a Bulletin Board mailbox.
If the system is in bilingual mode, the Bulletin Board message should be
recorded in both the primary and the secondary language. If you change the
Language mode (bilingual or monolingual), the Bulletin Board message may
need to be re-recorded.
If you want callers to be able to transfer to a Bulletin Board mailbox by
entering the mailbox number (for example, [
★
] [
T
] ([
★
] [
8
]) transfer, or Direct
ExtensionTransfer or Prompted Transfer from an Automated Attendant menu),
the mailbox number must be within the Maximum Digit Length that you set.
