*Note: Double allocation of a number is not possible.
*Note: Using numbers with few digits (two or three-digit numbers) inevitably restricts the possible supply of numbers requiring more digits. For example, if the number 12 is assigned, the numbers 120-129 and 1200-1299 will no longer be available.
*Note: The default exchange line access number on the PBX is 0 in the factory settings. However, this can be changed. Note that changing the exchange line access number restricts the dial plan.
Name
Freely selectable name. This name is used to identify the box within the PBX and the connected system phones.
Owner
Select the internal phone number under subscriber or group that is to be assigned to the box.
An owner can query the box. If the administrator has not refused the access authorisation, the owner can perform the following changes/actions using the Configuration Manager:
Copying, moving, and deleting messages
Properties of the box not controlled via a profile (except Users/authorisations and the maximum recording capacity)
Voice mail/fax box properties of the subscribers and groups not controlled via a profile
For a voice mailbox, the owner can additionally perform the following changes/actions:
Recording, storing in the PBX, reading from the PBX (downloading), listening to and deleting of announcements
Properties of the box under Call acceptance/announcement that are not controlled via a profile
The following properties of the owner will be applied to the box:
Exchange line settings of the subscriber or exchange line settings of the group (in a group with the Exchange line authorisation: Use the exchange line authorisation of the subscriber, the box does not have any exchange line authorisation).

1:1 assignment
If you want to be able to see from the number to which internal subscriber or internal group the box belongs, you can assign corresponding box numbers:
You can add a digit (prefix) for the box numbers to an up to 3-digit internal subscriber/group number.
Example: The subscribers 400, 401, 402, 405, 407 are to be assigned the boxes 7400, 7401, 7402, 7405, 7407.
If the internal subscriber/group numbers have 4 digits, the box numbers can be created by replacing the first digit.
Example: The subscribers 4400, 4401, 4402, 4405, 4407 are to be assigned the boxes 7400, 7401, 7402, 7405, 7407.
*Note: The number range selected for the box numbers needs to be sufficiently large: The number range for the examples (from 7400 to 7407) includes eight numbers, even though only the five corresponding boxes are created.
*Note: If the corresponding number range contains an internal number (subscriber, group) which is already owner of a group of the type to be created (voicemail or fax box), no further box will be created for this number.
*Note: If the selected number range for the box numbers already contains a corresponding box number, the owner of the box remains the same and a message will be displayed.
*Note: If the new owner is not yet an owner of user of another box, the recently created box will automatically be enabled for the subscriber or group.

Restoring
*Note: The restoration of the boxes does not include the messages, box-specific announcements and voice files.
Missing data in the database on the PBX
You can restore these boxes using the following data:
Internal telephone number and name of the box
Messages
Box-specific announcements
*Note: Internal numbers must only be assigned once in the PBX. The former phone number of the box to be restored cannot be used if it is still present in the PBX as an internal number (Overviews > Dial plan > Total overview).

Phone Number
If the phone number is already present, a new internal number between 10 up to 9999 must be entered in the entry field for the box to be restored.
*Note: Using numbers with few digits (two or three-digit numbers) inevitably restricts the possible supply of numbers requiring more digits. For example, if the number 12 is assigned, the numbers 120-129 and 1200-1299 will no longer be available.
*Note: The default exchange line access number on the PBX is 0 in the factory settings. However, this can be changed. Note that changing the exchange line access number restricts the dial plan.
