Adding many mailboxes
You can save time by creating multiple mailboxes when you set up CallPilot 150 for the first time,
or when you need to add a large number of mailboxes to the CallPilot system. Adding many
mailboxes creates Subscriber mailboxes for the range of extensions that you define. You must use
extensions that are not already assigned to mailboxes. You can add mailboxes only for the amount
of working telephone numbers that have specific extensions on your system.
To make the most effective use of adding multiple mailboxes, identify people who need a
non-standard Subscriber mailbox. Create these mailboxes individually. Use Add Many Mailboxes
to add the remaining mailboxes.
The mailboxes you create using Add Many Mailboxes have these characteristics:
the mailbox number is the same as the extension number
Class of Service is the same for all mailboxes
the Call Screening setting is the same for all mailboxes
the mailbox name is taken from the extension names assigned on your system.
If extension names are not programmed, the mailbox number is used
the Message Waiting Notification property is the same for all mailboxes
the Outdial route is the same for all mailboxes
the Display in Directory property is the same for all mailboxes
The mailboxes created are uninitialized and ready for initialization by mailbox owners.
A mailbox is not created if:
a mailbox with the same number already exists
the extension is used by another mailbox
the extension is a CallPilot voice port
