to access the call processor you just go in and edit MB 000 (usually 050 is night call proc. and 070 is holiday)

(i use 'usually' a lot because all these things are programmable and are sometimes changed at initial setup)

at main screen ('on hook' next to all lines) press enter

next screen says mailbox and password, maint MB is usually 999 and default PW is 0000

next screen arrow down to 'mailboxes' and enter

in 'first mailbox' enter 000 (or 0000 if 4 digit MB's)
ignore 'last mailbox' unless you want to do a range of MB's at once

you will see a list of all possible digits and what they do

whichever digit says 'access msgs' is the one you want, for #657 (that digit) ext, as i said before it's usually # but can be changed

if mb 999's PW isn't 0000, try using the receptionist's MB and PW, i always set her (or him....gotta be p.c. here) as an administrator with screen editing as a backup and so she (or he) can set system time through her (or his) MB

almost forgot
press F1 to save and exit the MB then ESC till you're back to 'on hook; on hook; on hook screen)

hope i've been helpful
sorry if i've just confused the bejesus out of ya

DID forgot
after putting in the MB number in the 'first mailbox' space hit F1 to accept

one nice thing about AVT's is all your choices for whatever you can do at that point is listed on the bottom of the screen

Got it found the 1st mail box the code I need under #657 was anothe #

Thanks for all your help. needles to say this is now documented

Gotta love it - My Teleco Contact uses # to leave a message, AVT uses it to check for messages.
Glad it all came together.

avt seems to be backward on a lot of things
