The default IP Office configuration settings allow almost immediate voicemail operation once a voicemail server is running on the LAN. Those default settings are:

• Voicemail running on a PC accessible using a broadcast address of 255.255.255.255.

• Voicemail on for each user and hunt group on.

• No Voicemail Code set for any mailboxes. Until a code is entered for a mailbox, it can only be accessed from the user's own extension.

• No Voicemail Email or Voicemail Help operation.

• No Voicemail Reception numbers set for user mailboxes.

• Whilst hunt group mailboxes are created and used by default, there is no default message waiting indication or method for collecting messages. A method for accessing each hunt group mailbox should be programmed. See Hunt Group Voicemail.

A range of settings and controls are accessible through the IP Office Manager application to configure the voicemail operation. The following sections detail those settings and controls.

System Configuration

The IP Office must be configured to recognize which PC is acting as its Voicemail Server.

The IP Office is configured via the Manager application and these settings can be found in the Voicemail tab of the System configuration form.

• Voicemail Type: Default = PC
  For Voicemail Pro operation select PC.

• Voicemail Destination: Default = Blank
  Not used with Voicemail Pro.

• Voicemail IP Address: Default = 255.255.255.255
  Enter the IP address of the PC on which the voicemail server is running. This can be left set to 255.255.255.255 (a broadcast address) if there is only one voicemail server on the network.

• Voicemail Password/Confirm Password : Default = Blank
  If you set a password here, the same password must be entered in the Voicemail System Preference, see Voicemail System Preferences.
