Programming Remote Messaging
NOTE: The Remote Messaging feature is available only if it is enabled for your mail-
box. Contact your voice mail administrator to see if this feature is enabled for your mail-
box.
ALSO: The remote messaging feature is supported for voice mail messages only. If E-
Mail Reader is enabled for your mailbox, you cannot use remote messaging for e-mail
and fax messages.
With Remote Messaging, you can program voice mail to call you when your mailbox
receives new voice mail messages. Using a “cascade” (a series of up to nine telephone
numbers), voice mail will call each number until it successfully connects to a device
(e.g., pager, answering machine, etc.).
Because your mailbox can have a primary and an alternate cascade of numbers, you
can program a cascade to be used during specific days and times. For example, if you
want to be paged when you receive a voice mail message from 5-10 PM on weekdays,
you can set up a primary cascade. If you also want to receive pages for messages
marked “priority” on the weekends, you could set your alternate cascade for all day
on Saturdays and Sundays.
