Using Pagers for Message Notification
(Embedded Voice Mail)

Pager Types

Message Notification works with three types of pagers: a beeper (or tone-only), a messaging type, and a digital type. The following table describes, in general, how the system works with each pager type. The process can change depending on the pager number parameters you enter for individual mailboxes.

Pager Type

How the system works

Tone-only

Message

Digital

Change '555-1212' to your company's telephone number using Express Manager.
