Setting up the Voicemail on a Nortel T7208

Hi,

Nortel will have a phone number that you can dial from any other phone to retrieve your messages.

It's not so much removing Denied in Admin as it is enabling whatever feature the user was trying to access at that set.
Which was... ?

After entering the mailbox access F981, press "#", the display should change from Pswd: to Log:. Now, enter the alternate mailbox number followed by the password for that box and "#". The remainder of the prompts should be the same as accessing the 'native' mailbox.

The feature is called "Call Forward/No Answer" - the procedure is in the Norstar System manual.

I dial my number and press ** when the VM picks up, then it should run you through the regular login process.

To reset password on any tel set go to main set and press feature 983 this gets you in to programming you need a password and default password is normly
120000 for 2 digit locals and 1020000 for 3 digit locals etc.enter this password and press ok go in to
mbox type in mailbox press change , press reset password. hope this works

sounds bad to me.

Is the light flashing really quick? Or is it like when you have a voicemail and flashing...

You may have plugged the set into an analog port, where the set is getting too much power and that is one reason why it could be flashing like it is.

Plug another set, that you know is working into the same jack, this will tell you if the jack is set up for your digital phone or for an analog phone.

Generally, you dial feature 981 to get in, then extension number and password. If you have no new messages it will say that, then give you the option to review old messages. To delete a message you press 76. If that doesn't work, login to your mailbox, press 8* then 6 to get to "go to message" then press the message number and #. If you have an on-site administrator, they can delete your mailbox as well, otherwise you will have to call your tech help service and have them erase it remotely.

You have to press the "Function" button (The grey one alone at the top of the keypad just under the display) then enter 981.

Have you set up the voicemail before?

OK, from your set;
-> dial FEATURE 9 8 1 (this is the code to get you to the voicemail)
-> then your passcode, if you never set up the voicemail, the temporary password is 0 0 0 0 (four - zero's).
-> if this is a new installed voicemail, the telephone system will tell you al that you need to initiate the voicemail box.
