IPS
: If you set the Lock field to ON, the user cannot change the
value of the associated field from a telephone. In fact, by
locking an option, the user does not even hear the menu op-
tion that accesses that feature.
To prevent the recording of a personal greeting, set the Cur-
rent Greeting’s Max field to 0 seconds. To prevent the re-
cording of a personal busy message, set the Busy
Message’s Max field to 0.
To prevent Amanda from taking a message, set Store Mes-
sages to NO and select None for the Copy Messages To
box. Otherwise, she records a message and stores it for the
current mailbox and/or the mailbox specified by Copy Mes-
sages To.
To keep a mailbox out of the employee directory, leave Dir
Name 1 and Dir Name 2 blank.
Remember that a user can go by a nickname. The Directory
Name 1 field might contain the nickname. For example, for
someone named Thomas, are people going to enter T-o-m
for Tom or T-h-o for Thomas?
To add a menu, create a greeting that explains the menu,
and direct the user to different mailboxes based on the se-
lection from the menu. For details, see “Menus” on
page 114.
Creating a Mailbox for Someone Without a Telephone
A user who is offsite or, for some other reason, has no onsite telephone can
still have a mailbox. Create a personal mailbox for that user. Then log on to
the mailbox to turn on Do Not Disturb.
