Hmmm... I can't find the picture that tells me which LED button is which (20 button ph.) but other than that I'm making progress with VM.

found it

We have voice mail!

A big THANK YOU to everyone for the help I got here. Without this help and the Toshiba manuals I could not have done it.

It was not a piece of cake, but it wasn't too bad either. I spent 4-5 hours on Tuesday and got the basic functions going. A couple of hours tweaking the programming on Wednesday and we started using it Thursday.

There are a couple of minor issues, mostly just figuring out the programming to get it exactly right.

I need to get the ringing right. I have not figured that out. The PBX rings all of our extensions. (The VM is on 18,19,20,&21.) The VM is set to answer on 4 rings. That works okay but it's not ideal.

I want the PBX to NOT ring the VM(18-21), ring all the extensions 4 times and then go to the VM. That way I can tell the VM to pick up on the first ring.

That would be a lot better because we can then get to the VM on one ring when we want it directly.

How would I program that? I'm looking through the programs, but I'm just not sure.

Thanks,
james

set your v/m in v/m progamming to 0 or 1 ring not toshiba programming

and
in program 81 put your extensions, and in 82 put your v/m extensions 18-21 [ports 008-011]
If your programming with a phone you will have to do 000*007 then 012 * and above in 81 and
008*011 in 82

ports not extensions

Thank you. I printed out those programs to review. I probably won't mess with it until next week.

Am I correct in seeing that program 82 will put those ports on 12 second delay? That seems to work out to 4 rings, which would be perfect.

Thanks,
jw

yes

I could be wrong, but I thought 82 was a 12 second delay and 83 was a 24 second delay.

Also I always set just the first port of the voice mail group to ring in 83 (assuming you have ports 008 to 011 in a hunt group in program 33) because if the first port is busy it will ring to the second port, etc. I always thought that programming all four ports to ring will confuse the voice mail.

You have time to try it both ways and see what really happens.

Well
does it work ?

Bunnie didnt he say 4 rings to the mail /

Sorry, this is such a long whipplewazagizzer.

I think he wanted all phones to ring four times, which I think means 6 seconds to a ring cycle, so incoming ringing stations would be in 81.

The first port of the voicemail in 33 or the DH group would ring in 83, NO?

If they set the Nite Transfer button, the above vm port or DH group would ring in 87, NO?

Lead doesn't bother me but I'm alergic to cats. Is there a cat zone I should stay away from? Never seen a sign that says, "Cat Zone Ahead."

So are you really a pilot or do you fly high on brownies (grin)?

My mistake 83 is the 4 ring program [brain fart]

cat zone coming in 2007

yes/no
