3. VM Service
a) FWD to a Mailbox of the VPS
The PBX sends a mailbox number of the corresponding extension to the VPS when a call is
forwarded from an extension to the VPS. Therefore the caller can leave a message for the called
extension without knowing the mailbox number.
[FWD to the VPS Sequence Selection]
If an extension user sets FWD to the VPS, any incoming call will be forwarded to the VPS.
It is also possible to send the AA command, even in the VM service mode, when calls are
forwarded so that the caller can be directed to an extension rather than a mailbox. This can be
performed by selecting "AA" through system programming.
