Your personal voice mailbox number will arrive automatically via VU e-mail whenever your room change is updated in the Datatel system.
Steps for Student First Time Access
Step One - record a ROOM GREETING
Note:Only one roommate needs to perform this step.
- Dial x1593 to enter Voice Item Maintenance. You will hear 'Voice Item Maintenance. Application ID?'
- Enter the room extension followed by #. (e.g. 2345#) Your room extension is provided in the mailbox assignment email.
- You will then hear 'Password?' Enter the password followed by #. (e.g. 1112345#) The default password is three ones followed by the room extension.
- Change the default password. Press 84. Enter the default password followed by #. (e.g. 1112345#) Enter the new password followed by #. Re-enter the new password followed by #.
- Press 5 to record the greeting. Press # when complete.
Very Important: The message will only direct the caller to the correct mailbox if you state each roommate's call menu number. If you received an email stating that your mailbox is option 1 on the menu, and your roommate is option 2, then you would want to record a greeting to that affect. Here's a sample greeting: “Hi, you've reached the room of Joe Smith and Jack Jones. We're not available to answer the call, so press one to leave a message for Joe, or press 2 to leave a message for Jack.”
- Press 2 to review the newly recorded greeting, 5 to re-record .
- Hang up to save the greeting.
