A bulletin board is an electronic message system that callers can access to hear messages. Callers dial the bulletin board telephone number or reach it via an automated attendant, and the system answers and presents callers with a recorded message. The major differences between a bulletin board and an automated attendant are as follows:
A bulletin board does not have an option to route the call.
A bulletin board does not present a menu of buttons for callers to select.
A bulletin board does not have the capability to allow callers to replay the greeting.
This extension is administered on the switch to immediately forward calls to the messaging software. The message that callers hear is the personal greeting for the bulletin board's mailbox.
Bulletin boards are administered as regular subscribers, with some exceptions, such as typing bulletin-board in the PERMISSIONS, Type: field of the Subscriber screen.
