  1. Press Enter until you see the Message waiting type #1 and then enter 5 for Pager.

  2. At the Pager Access Type prompt, enter the letter of the index to be used for delivery to a fax machine. Valid choices are:

  2. At the Default telephone number for fax retrieval prompt, enter the default number (1-16 characters) of the fax phone the fax message is to be delivered to.  This field can contain any additional characters necessary for outdialing.

  4. At the Time zone offset prompt, enter the number of hours difference between the time zone of the mailbox owner and the local time zone of the NuPoint Unified Messaging server.  Valid values are from -23 to +23.  This number must match the offset of one of the time zones set in the Time Zone Configuration Menu.

  5. Press Enter to skip through each of the remaining mailbox configuration prompts. After the last prompt, the system displays the mailbox configuration, then prompts for the next mailbox number.

At this point, the parameter settings are saved and you can continue with mailbox configuration or exit.
