MAS - SA - Modular Messaging - Extension Number Options Dialog Box

The Extension Number Options dialog box is launched via the Options button in the Modular Messaging tab. See MAS - SA - Modular Messaging Tab (for Users).

You can use the Extension Number Options dialog box to set up secondary extensions for a subscriber.

Note: If necessary, you can develop caller applications to perform call handling on the subscriber’s secondary extensions. You should do this before assigning the extensions to the subscriber. For more information, see MAS - Caller Applications (CA) Editor.If a caller application has been assigned to the subscriber’s primary extension, this overrides any setting on the secondary extension.

There are two typical uses for secondary extensions:

Configuring a subscriber’s mobile phone as secondary extension number If the subscriber then uses their mobile to dial the Modular Messaging pilot number, he/she can just enter the mailbox password to log in. The subscriber does not need to enter the mailbox number because the system recognizes the calling line ID.

Configuring a secondary extension number for faxes The subscriber can then publish a number specifically for the reception of faxes, to avoid hearing the fax tone when answering their regular phone. When the Modular Messaging system answers a call to this extension number, the switch can be configured to divert straight to the subscriber’s inbox.

To configure the secondary extension, complete the following fields:

Subscriber extensions

Adds a line to the list. You must then set the Extension number. You can also set a Caller application, if you wish.

Deletes the extension selected in the list. The system prompts you to confirm the deletion.

Extension number Enter the secondary extension number for the subscriber.

Caller application If desired, select a caller application from the list to assign to the subscriber’s secondary extension. The caller application may or may not have its own extension already assigned to it.

Note: This field is only visible if Enable Caller Applications has been set via the Voice Mail System Configuration application, Telephone User Interface, General tab. See VMSC - VMD - Telephone User Interface - General Tab.
