The entire range of functions is described below. The range of functions has been restricted on
your system if you are unable to access all services.
An explanation of the icons used can be found in Section 3.1.2. Please read the introductory
information in Section 3.1 to find out about the basic functions of your voice mail system.
3.3.1 Access Options
HiPath Xpressions users have the following access options:
● You can dial your own mailbox (direct access, "Own mailbox" code).
Dial the service access number for direct access and log onto the server by entering your
PIN and a password, if one is required. You now have access to all messages stored in
your mailbox and to your mailbox settings. You can record messages for other users and
subsequently send these messages.
You will find more information about direct access mode under Appendix , “Using your own
Mailbox (Direct Access, "Own Mailbox Code")”
● You can dial an external mailbox (guest access and universal access, "External mail-
box" code).
Dial the service access number of the mailbox for guest access or universal access and
dial the extension number of the required user. You can leave a message in the user’s mail-
box or be transferred to a referral extension. This depends on how the user has set his/her
answering options.
You will find more information about guest access or universal access mode under Section
3.3.3, “Dialing an External Mailbox (Guest Access, Universal Access, "External Mailbox"
code)”.
● You can re-direct calls received at your extension to your mailbox (CF, forward access).
Calls received at your extension are then forwarded to your mailbox. Callers can leave a
message for you in your mailbox. In this way you can use the mailbox as an answering ma-
chine.
Please refer to Section 3.3.4, “Call Forwarding (CF, Forward Access)” for more information
about forward access mode.
● You can check your mailbox for new messages using the mailbox key on the telephone
(callback access). The same functions that are provided with the direct access option are
available here.
● You can also use a notification feature (User outcall).
