I have a system with more than one prefix. When I go to setup a mailbox with the same last 4 digits the first user is no longer getting their messages. Example: 410-291-4567 first user. Second user is: 410-443-4567. Any clue?
 
When yoiui say more thqan one prefix do you mean the mailbox numbers are 10 digits? And when this happens does he new user get the messages ?

Also what kind of Octel is it

No the mailboxes are 7 digits however the exchanges are different. Like 291-4657 and 443-4657. Octel 250/350. the new user gets the message sent to his box and the old one does not.
 
Sounds like the
Octel is doing a match on the last 4 digits. What type of PBX are you using and are you using an RS 232 for integration? Also are the users ext numbers 7 digits?

Option 81C is the PBX and yes on the RS232 integration. The user's extension are 4 digits.
 
Ok that is the problem. Are you using alias numbers? when the call comes in it is stripping to the last 4 digits and making a match. What software level are you on? There is a patch but you may not need it if you are above 2.5 i think.

Why are the mailboxes 7 digit but the ext numbers are 4?

this may be it but i know it happens in much higher rel levels of software
