I recently used the MAINTAIN menu to reset the database in our Phonemail (v 1.03). Now, the device just shows cadence 3 (LED blinks 3 times after a long pause). I didn't think i needed to change anything on the HiCom OfficeCom itself, but I double checked the ports to be of type PhoneMail. When I ring the extension, the call just rings and rings. Is there a some sort of a step I am missing after a database reset to get the HiCom officecom to talk to the Phonemail? Thanks.

Hicom PhoneMail won't come up after database reset

Are you able to access the PhoneMail, program it, etc?
I assume because you were asking 150 questions that this is either an Office Phonemail PC-sized box, or a built-in card type of unit?
If you have access to the PhoneMail I would start by confirming your interface configuration on the PHONEMAIL side matches what you need to the switch. I don't know if by resetting the database you mean wiping it and restoring a backup, or completely wiping it and starting over, but if you did the latter there are probably node parameters and stuff that need to be set back up.

No I am not able to access the Phonemail prompts. As i mentioned, when i dial the VM1/VM2 extensions, the phone just rings. The Phonemail is external and conencted via 2 ports to the HiCom. In Assitant E the extensions show as Optiset E (vs No Port) so it's seeing something. But the unit itself doesn't get to Normal mode (fast blinking LED light). It's stuck at cadence 3.
Ps: not trying to restore from a backup. Just wiping it clean and making sure it can connect and be setup.
