Using voicemail with a Paging Port
Voicemail can be used to play messages over a tannoy or PA system connected to the system. In a busy
environment this means that several people can be leaving messages rather than having to wait for the
paging extension to become free. For details on how to configure a paging port please refer to page 78.
