From time to time, you might find that you need to be able to dial an extension (or DID) that transfers the caller directly to a voice mailbox that belongs to a specific (different) extension.

This is very easy:

display vector 199                                              Page   1 of   6
                                  CALL VECTOR

    Number: 199              Name: ToVM-Var-V1
Multimedia? n      Attendant Vectoring? n    Meet-me Conf? n           Lock? n
     Basic? y   EAS? y   G3V4 Enhanced? y   ANI/II-Digits? y   ASAI Routing? y
 Prompting? y   LAI? y  G3V4 Adv Route? y   CINFO? y   BSR? y   Holidays? y
 Variables? y   3.0 Enhanced? y
01 wait-time    2   secs hearing ringback
02 messaging    skill 99   for extension V1
03 stop

There’s only one effective instruction in this vector: transfer the caller to the messaging solution, using the destination mailbox number specified in variable V1.

Variables V1-V9 are set in VDN configuration (and can be overridden if the call traverses over multiple VDNs, if allowed). The below example is for a VDN at extension 3388, which sends the caller to the mailbox associated with extension 3389.
