VM lite IP403

[Sean2E30]

I've been following the manual for setting up voicemail emails for my IP403. The manual does mention that VM lite can send the emails but later states that the PRO version needs to be installed.

The manual also doesn't mention how the Voicemail Server has to have internet access. I have my voicemail server setup with a static IP address and it is connected to one of the lan ports on the IP403 switch. I was thinking about putting another network card in the machine and connecting it to the internet. Or should I just connect the phone switch to the internet?

VM Lite will only send via MAPI. So you will need to install some thing like outlook.

It does work. Just a bit of a pain if the user is logged off. Outlook not running.

So how do I associate it to outlook? I have an email account setup already, but I'm not sure how to link the VM lite to outlook.

Because VM lite is runs as an application, it runs as the logged on user - e.g. Voicemail.

You need to create an email account with the linked Windows account as <mydomain>\user (assuming you are using excahnge). Set outlook up with that account on the voicemail pc, logged in as voicemail.

However, with outlook, you will get an message box - "outlook is trying to send a message" or similar. You can use the MAPI setup (FAQ on this site) or an application "clickyes"

My preferred solution is to use outlook express, and connect that to exchange as an SMTP connection

Thanks! I was able to get the email server to work without the use of the clickyes application (it had very little documentation and didn't want to work). So long as your email client (outlook express) is set according to the Avaya voicemail email instructions you only need to go to the security tab under the options window and uncheck "warn me when other applications try to send mail as me" and you're good to go.

That is the very reason I tend to use Outlook Express.
