How do you setup general mailbox? - Mitel 5340 IP Phone

Hi,

Please make sure that the customer is calling the correct number that you think that they're calling. Then, call this number yourself and leave a message before going to check the message again. If you can't find your message, please call the business' phone company and ask them if there are multiple mailboxes linked to your business phone number. If so, they can provide access to the other mailbox for you.

Thank you.

Hi Lyndsay,

Have you tried feature 985, and then press 9, and enter the passed resetsmppwd? That should reset the login on feature 983 to 1020000 for three digit extensions, or 102000 for two digit extensions. Once you get into there, you can reset the mailbox password for the general delivery mailbox. Depending on your system, even though the general delivery mailbox might be on extension 363, the mailbox number is likely to be 100.

To retrieve message from mailbox behind the phone:
Feature 981
Enter your password as asked

To retrieve message from mailbox that is not behind the phone:
Feature 981
Press OTHER
Log = Your ext # and password together
Press OK

Example if mailbox 100 and password 1234 then your log = 1001234

Example if mailbox 221 and password 5678 then your log = 2215678

In the mailbox setup, there's a prompt called EXT .. make sure your extension number is there. There's another prompt called MSG WAIT (or something like that) which needs to be set to YES or Y. The person that setup the mailbox should be able to get to these settings.

the general mailbox can be any mailbox from 100-998... or if you have 4 digit extension numbers, 1000-9998...or it can be one of a couple hundred other greetings if you are talking about custom service menus instead of a mailbox (all this is best determined by your local panasonic dealer/serviceman)

once you know which mailbox is your general mailbox:
1) call the voicemail
2) press "#6*" + the mailbox number
3) enter password then "#"
4) press options "3" then "1" then "1"
5) record your greeting then press "1" to stop the recording then "2" to save it
6) hang up

Maybe the callers are leaving messages in the General Delivery mailbox? From your phone, dial Feature 981, when it prompts you for a password, press the button under "OTHR", and you will be prompted for the log. (The log is the mailbox and password combination for a mailbox not assigned to your phone.) If you use 2-digit extensions, the General Delivery mailbox is #10, for 3-digit extensions, the mailbox number is #100, and etc. The default General Delivery mailbox password is "0000". So, using 2-digit ext's, the log would be 100000, then press # or OK and you can retrieve the messages. Write back if you need more help.

That set may have the general delivery mailbox attached to it. The mail box number for the general delivery mailbox is 100. you might try and resetting that mailbox to see if it gives you access.

How many digits are your extensions? 2 3 or 4?

WHat extension is the general mailbox?

Do you know which voicemail you have?

Ok, first of all the general Mailbox is 100 for 3 digit extensions or 10 of 2 digit extensions.

How to Change a Mailbox Password
1. To access the voice mail system press "Feature".
2. Press "983".
3. When you see "Log:" enter "120000" for 2 digit extension numbers, enter "1020000" for 3 digit extension numbers.
4. Press "OK".
5. Press "MBOX".
6. Press "CHNG".
7. Enter the mailbox number you wish to reset.
8. Press "Reset".
9. Press "Rls" to exit (orange button to the right of the number buttons).

Default password is "0000".

check under the mailbox set up ( where you created it) for that extension that the extension number of that phone is on that mailbox> in other words, you could create mailbox 221, but assign it to 222. The Gen Delivery box is 100 which is the catch all for transfers that cannot be completed.
