Setting system telco features
The Telco features commands found under the General heading allow you to define settings for
voice message center numbers and outgoing name and number blocking (ONN).
Defining Voice Message Center numbers
If you subscribe to a voice message service outside your office, you can access it through your
Business Communications Manager system. You can specify what voice message center you use
for each external line that receives message waiting indication. This setting specifies the external
telephone numbers that the Message feature dials to retrieve voice messages.
Note: If you have an MCDN network link set up with a Meridian 1 voice mail service, for
example, you need to ensure that the number of the voice mail system is entered here, complete
with external dialing requirements.
