Distribution Lists

Features

A distribution list contains multiple destinations, so that when you are sending a message, you can enter the list number rather than entering each individual destination. Users with all four Classes of Service can set up and manage distribution lists via the Telephone User Interface (TUI). Unified, Plus, and Standard mailbox users may also use the Web Interface for this function.

Managing Distribution Lists via the TUI

To access the Distribution List Options menu, from the Main menu, press [9]. From the Setup Options menu, press [5]. To hear a summary of this feature, press [0]. Detailed information is available via the TUI.
