When you create a Subscriber Mailbox, you can assign an Express Messaging Line to it if the subscriber wants to have fax and voice calls go to their Subscriber Mailbox without ringing at their extension. Callers hear the mailbox greeting and can leave voice and fax messages.
When "Message for you" appears on the telephone display, the subscriber can open their mailbox and access their voice and fax messages.
If subscribers have the Fax option enabled, they can inform people that the Express Messaging Line number is their fax number and have it printed on their business cards. Subscribers must have the Fax option enabled to receive fax messages on the Express Messaging Line.
For Business Communications Manager systems, an Express Messaging Line can be set up as Fax Only. If the Fax Only option is selected, the caller does not hear a greeting and cannot leave a voice message. Selecting this option allows a fax to be sent immediately. If the Fax Only option is not selected, the caller hears a greeting and can leave a voice or fax message.
Give the corresponding seven digit phone number associated with the line you assign as the Express Messaging Line to the subscriber. For example, if line 20 is the Express Messaging Line and the corresponding phone number is 555-2424, give this phone number to the subscriber. After you assign a line to a mailbox, you cannot assign the line to another function until you remove it from the mailbox.
The prime set for the Express Messaging Line must be set to the voicemail DN. For more information refer to your system documentation. Express Messaging is not enabled by default.
