Using an Internal or External Phone (Remote Access) to Operate and Query a Voice Mailbox
The voice messages of a voice mailbox can be queried by means of an internal or external phone (remote access). Using various announcements, the caller is guided through the query menu. Besides accessing the messages, it is also possible to operate (e. g. switch on and off) the voice mailbox via phone.
* Note: The function remote access is not available for a voice mailbox configured for the function Call recording because no owner can be assigned to this box. The function Call recording is available only in certain countries.
Requirements:
Knowledge of the PIN for accessing the corresponding voice mailbox remotely
DTMF dialling support on the external phone


1.Call the voice mailbox.
* Note: Remote access is also possible with disabled readiness of a voice mailbox. External calls will be accepted after a waiting time of at least 50 seconds (50 seconds or Waiting time for CF on no reply + 10 seconds if longer than 50 seconds).
2.Dial * and then the user PIN or the PIN for remote access and dial #.
* Note: If the internal phone used for the query is the owner of the voice mailbox, it is not necessary to enter a user PIN or remote access PIN.
Various announcements lead you through the remote access menu.
