A key component of the NBX Networked Telephony Solutions is the 
NBX Messaging System, which includes voice mail, off-site notification, 
and several administrative features.
Voice mail allows callers to leave voice messages in your voice mailbox 
when you are not able to answer your telephone. You can listen to, save, 
and forward those messages from any touch-tone telephone. In certain 
circumstances, you can also be notified about your voice mail messages 
through your email.
The NBX system provides several types of voice mailboxes. The most 
common type of mailbox is a personal voice mailbox, which is associated 
with a specific telephone and a specific user. Other types of voice 
mailboxes, which are described at the end of this chapter, include 
greeting-only mailbox, phantom mailbox, and group mailbox
You use the Off-Site Notification feature if you want the NBX system to 
notify you when callers leave voice mail messages in your voice mailbox. 
See 
 in 
The steps for setting up personal, phantom, and greeting-only voice 
mailboxes are the same. See 
 in 
 
for details. Your administrator creates group mailboxes.
The default setting for maximum voice mail message length is 5 minutes. 
Your administrator can configure your organization’s NBX messaging 
system to receive and store voice mail messages that are up to 10 
minutes long.
If your system uses a messaging application other than NBX Voice 
Messaging (such as third-party messaging), use the documentation for 
that messaging application instead of these instructions.
