# Compensate for Different Directory and Mailbox Numbers

This procedure describes how to configure the server when the directory number differs from the mailbox number in the following applications:

- DTMF-to-PBX Message Lights

- RS-232 Message Waiting Indicators

To allow your MWI application to compensate for different directory and mailbox numbers:

1. From the Main Menu, select (S) System Maintenance, (R) Reconfiguration, (R) Reconfigure System, and then (G) Offline Menu.

2. Duplicate the configuration by selecting (B) Duplicate Active Configuration. The server copies the current (active) configuration. When copying is completed, the short form of the Offline Menu appears. All subsequent steps in this procedure – along with any other configuration entries – affect just the copy, and take effect only after you activate the configuration.

For configuration procedures for the RS-232 MWI interface, go to step 11.

To configure the server for different directory and mailbox numbers for the DTMF-to-PBX MWIs:

1. Specify the line group to which the DTMF-to-PBX Message Lights application is assigned by selecting (G) Group Selected. At the Enter a group numberprompt, enter the number of the line group (1-24) to which the DTMF-to-PBX Message Lights application is assigned.

2. Select (T) DTMF to PBX Message Lights.

3. Enable an alternate code by selecting (T) Enable Alternate Code. At the Enable alternate code (y/n)prompt, enter Y for yes.

4. Save the setting by exiting to the NuPoint Voice Configuration Main Menu.

5. Exit to the Mailbox Maintenance Menu, and select (C) Create New Mailboxes or (M) Modify Mailboxes.

6. Enter the number of the mailbox to create/modify.

7. Press Enter until the Department Code prompt appears.

8. Enter the DN (directory number) by entering the DTMF string, which is the alternate code the server transmits after the pre-DN ON string.

9. Press Enter to skip through the remaining mailbox configuration prompts. After the last prompt, the server displays the mailbox configuration, then prompts for the next mailbox number.

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

To configure the RS-232 MWIs Interface:

1. From the Offline Menu, select (M) RS232 Only Applications and then select (R) Programmable.

2. Enable an alternate code by selecting (D) Dept Code as DN?. At the E nter "N" for mailbox #, "Y" for dept code, enter Y for department code.

3. Save the setting by exiting to the NuPoint Voice Configuration Main Menu.

4. Exit to the Mailbox Maintenance Menu, and select (C) Create New Mailboxes or (M) Modify Mailboxes.

5. Enter the number of the mailbox to create/modify.

6. Press Enter until the Department Code prompt appears.

7. Enter the DN (directory number) by entering the DTMF string that is the alternate code the server transmits after the pre-DN ON string. Any ASCII character is valid in this string.

8. Press Enter to skip through the remaining mailbox configuration prompts. After the last prompt, the server displays the mailbox configuration, then prompts for the next mailbox number.

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