Introduction

These procedures are performed on the communications system. You must complete them after the PARTNER Messaging module has been installed, but before you program PARTNER Messaging. You must perform the first two procedures for every installation. The procedure for Outgoing Call Restriction is strongly recommended to ensure system security.

For these procedures, you need to know the extension numbers associated with the PARTNER Messaging module. For the extension numbers appropriate for this installation if your communications system is a PARTNER ACS Release 4.0 or later, refer to completed copies of Forms F3 and F5. Blank copies of these forms are provided in Appendix B for your reference. For all other PARTNER communications systems, refer to the appropriate forms in the System Planner for your communications system.

Note:

The communications system recognizes the PARTNER Messaging module as a 6-extension module, although the PARTNER Messaging module has no physical jacks. PARTNER Messaging ports are assigned to extensions on a communications system module beginning with the lowest extension number. For example, if the six extensions allotted on a communications system module were extensions 24 to 29, PARTNER Messaging Port 1 would be assigned to extension 24, Port 2 to extension 25, etc. This is in contrast to PARTNER MAIL VS® Voice Messaging System where Port 1 would be assigned to the highest extension number, or extension 29 in the example provided here.
