If you are adding a new subscriber, complete the fields as follows:
Name

Enter the name of the bulletin board. This name should describe the bulletin board's function.

Extension

Enter the bulletin board's extension. Use an extension that is administered on the switch if you want callers to access the bulletin board using the dialed number. Use an extension that is notadministered on the switch, that is, a phantomextension, if you want callers to access the bulletin board via an automated attendant.

COS

Enter the class of service name or number you want for this bulletin board. You may create a COs that identifies the PERMISSIONS, Type: as bulletin-board. If you do so, enter the name or number of that COs in this field so you do not have to customize Page 2 of the Subscriber screen.

Switch Number

Enter 1 as the number of the switch.

PERMISSIONS, Type

Enter bulletin-board for bulletin board.

Mailbox Size, Maximum

Enter the maximum number of seconds of mailbox space for the bulletin board. A valid entry is a number from 0 to 32767. Normally, you enter a small number, for example, 800, since in most cases a bulletin board does not receive voice mail, but still needs enough space to record the bulletin board message.
Click Save.
