Remote mailbox access
Remote mailbox access is accessing a mailbox from any location that does not match the mailbox
user's or hunt group's number. That includes both internal and external access.
Remote access is possible only if the mailbox user or hunt group has a voicemail code set in the
IP Office configuration.
You can enable remote mailbox access using any of the following methods:
• Direct from an incoming call route
• Using a short code
• Via an auto attendant
Direct from an incoming call route
An incoming call route can be configured to enable remote access to a mailbox. The option
Voicemail
can be selected as the Destination and/or Night Service Destination of an Incoming
Call Route.
Using a short code
A short code can be created that uses the Voicemail Collect feature but without a mailbox name
specified in the
Telephone Number
field. An example is shown below. This short code could be
utilized by users on the system as the destination in an Incoming Call Route or as the destination
for a auto attendant option.
