Other Mailbox Configuration Parameters
Along with other parameters in a mailbox configuration, you can also specify a message waiting
type that determines how mailbox owners are notified when unplayed messages arrive in their
mailboxes. Mailboxes can also be configured for paging and message delivery. Refer to the
Pager Application chapter for more information on these topics.

Mailboxes can be password-protected.
Variable Length Mailbox Numbers
The variable length mailbox number capability allows the server administrator greater flexibility
when assigning mailbox numbers. You can configure a dialing plan to allow variable length
mailbox numbers. Code a V in the desired digit position in the dialing plan, as described in the
NuPoint Voice Application chapter under “Mailbox Dialing Plan.”

NuPoint Voice Application chapter under “Mailbox Dialing Plan.”
Without this capability, all mailboxes in the same line group that begin with the same digit must be
the same length. If, for example, you specify “3” as the mailbox number length for mailboxes
beginning with 1, then all 1-series mailboxes must be three digits long: 100, 101, 102-199, etc.
This means you have only 100 mailboxes available beginning with 1.

This means you have only 100 mailboxes available beginning with 1.
When you specify that mailboxes beginning with a certain digit can be variable length, those
mailboxes can be as short as one digit (9), or as long as 11 (99999999999). This allows you over
11 billion different mailboxes beginning with 9! (You cannot, of course, configure 11 billion
mailboxes, since that would exceed the storage capacity of the disk.)

Hotel installations can make good use of variable length mailboxes. It is convenient for a guest’s
mailbox number, telephone number, and room number to be the same, but this is impossible to
achieve with fixed length mailbox numbers and a single line group. To understand why, realize
that most hotel dialing plans assign three-digit numbers to rooms on floors one through nine, and
four-digit numbers to rooms on floor 10 and above. If the mailbox for room 111 matched the
phone number, the mailbox for room 1111 could not.

Variable length mailboxes allow you to keep all mailboxes in a single line group and still assign
mailboxes that match room and telephone numbers.

Configuration Considerations
If you configure variable length mailboxes, mailbox owners must modify their interactions in these
ways:
ways:
•
When addressing a message to multiple recipients, they must enter a pound sign (#) after
each mailbox number that is variable length, or wait for the server to prompt for the next
recipient’s mailbox number.
each mailbox number that is variable length, or wait for the server to prompt for the next
recipient’s mailbox number.
Note: If mailbox owners enter a pound sign after a mailbox number that is not variable length, the server
interprets it to mean that message addressing is complete. This can be confusing to mailbox
owners, who find that pressing a pound sign at “the same time” elicits differing prompts. To avoid
this confusion, it is recommended that you make either all mailboxes variable length, or none.
owners, who find that pressing a pound sign at “the same time” elicits differing prompts. To avoid

After entering the final mailbox number and pound sign, they must do one of the following:
•
Enter an additional pound sign to get the “Begin recording . . .” prompt.
•
Wait for the “Begin recording . . .” prompt.
