Message Center Mailbox
A Message Center Mailbox is a mailbox shared by more than one extension. Any keyset that has a Message
Center Key for the shared mailbox can:
● Listen to the messages stored in the mailbox.
● Transfer calls to the shared mailbox.
● Use many other Voice Mail features previously available only at an extension’s individual mailbox.
A Message Center Mailbox helps co-workers that work together closely — such as members of the same
Pickup Group. For example, the group supervisor can send important messages to the shared Message Cen-
ter Mailbox, to which any group member can respond when time allows. Each group member’s Message
Center Key flashes when messages are waiting.
Message Center requires a uniquely programmed Message Center key. Turn to Programmable Function
Keys on page 2-24 for more.
Interactive Soft Key Shows New Messages
The Display and Super Display Telephone’s interactive soft keys show the number of new messages in the
user’s mailbox. For example, if a Display Telephone user has 2 new messages in their mailbox, their soft key
shows:
VM02. If a Super Display Telephone user has 2 new messages in their mailbox, their Voice Mail soft
key shows
V-MAIL 02.
Programming
