The station blocks refer to archetypes of different calls that the voicemail will make, and contains information on how the voicemail should treat them differently.

The off-premise station block, which is where you could have gone, is used by the voicemail for any call matching it's dial string.. Which by default is XXX-XXX-XXXX, or XXX-XXXX. On page 2 of the station block, you set a value for prefix or suffix.

So you set either the prefix or the suffix, depending on whether you want it at the beginning or end of the call, and then it will dial that whenever dialing an outside party.

There is also an on-premise block that governs calls made internally, a default pager block which has settings specifically for pagers.

Another use of this type of block is when setting off-site cell-phone transfers or message notifications. If you create a new station block, with the Dial string entered as that Cell Phone number, you can then use the train function for the SVMI to learn what ring-back, Busy, etc sound like when calling that phone.

I have found it necessary in the past especially with Nextel.
