Staff desktop telephone voicemail instructions

If you are looking for information about using your desktop telephone’s features, please see the Cisco IP telephone user instructions Help Resources page.

Getting started

The first step for using your voicemail is to register with Cisco Unity Connection over the telephone. When you press the Messages button on your desktop telephone for the first time, you will receive a prompt to enter your temporary PIN.

To receive your temporary PIN, please contact the Telecommunications Coordinator by phone at 204‑632‑2591, or by email at imarcoux@rrc.ca.

Registering to use your voicemail

Once you log on using your temporary PIN, the first‑time enrollment message will guide you through a set of prerecorded instructions to help you complete the following tasks:

  • Record your name.
  • Record a greeting that outside callers hear when you do not answer your telephone.
  • Change your telephone password. (Longer passwords are more secure.)
    NOTE:

    • The minimum password length is four digits.
    • Cisco Unity Connection stores your five previously used passwords and prohibits you from reusing a password that is saved in your history.
    • Your password credentials expire after six months, at which time the system will prompt you to change your password.
