the mailbox to collect messages. When set the access code must be between 4 and 15 digits in length.
Setting and changing a mailbox access code can be done by your system administrator. You can also do
it yourself through the mailbox as follows:
1. Dial *17 from your extension.
2. If your mailbox already has an access code set, you will be prompted to enter it. Enter you
access code.
3. Dial *04.
4. When asked for the access code enter your current access code and #. If you have no current
access code just press #.
5. Enter your new access code followed by #. Ensure that the code is at least four digits in length. If
you enter a short code you will be prompted to enter a longer code.
• To remove an exist access code and return the mailbox to not having an access code,
just press #.
• Do not set an obvious code, for example:
• Do not match your extension number.
• Do not use a sequence of digits, eg. 1234.
• Do not use the same repeated digit, eg. 1111.
6. Re-enter your new access code followed by #.The access code will now be changed.
