ch abb per xxxx
this is the abbreviated dialing personal list where xxxx is my station number.
now enter 2244~p~p1402#~p~p123456# where 2244 is my access number for audix. 1402 is my station number and 123456 is the password.
you will then need an abbreviated dialing button on your phone such as: -
abrv-dial List: 3 DC: 01

I forgot to add, when you press the button on your phone, you will still hear the voicemail system asking for the extension number etc.
Basically, you press the button and ignore what the voicemail says for a few seconds. Then it'll connect and put the login and passwords in for you.

It's not a good idea to put buttons like this on your phone.
Other users could walk up to your vacant phone and listen to your voice mail. That's not very secure.

what do you tell one of the richest men in the US that he has to go through the steps to access his vm when not at his deskphone and he doesn't want this extra phone having his main lines on it? He's been offered 2 choices.. 1 with the string entered all the way in with the warning that anyone would be able to press the button and then a 2nd option that enters the string up until the password, which he'd have to manually do.

I would ask the richest man in the U.S. if he wants his cleaning lady to listen to his voice mails

I agree with this, but it is also our job to keep them out of trouble so to speak. If this were my boss I would still want him to know what he could get into by doing it "his" way and suggest that he didn't.
Now this I do not agree with. I do not read anything in this that would suggest anything negative. I think AvayaTier3 is trying to help btrain8 keep his job. Whats going to happen when ANYONE press the autodial to his VM and someone heres something they shouldn't and btrain8 didnt tell him they could??

Well said, Mike.
Many years ago, I had a VP who wanted exactly this. I explained the conquences to them, and she insisted that I do it anyway. After putting in the speed dial, I sent the VP an email, stating that the work was completed, and reminding her of the dangers of doing this.
Six months later, I sent a copy of this email to the VP, when a VM message was deleted by someone who had borrowed her office. The individual thought that they were retrieving their own VM and did not pay enough attention to what they were doing.
The VM speed dial was removed that same day, again at the request of the VP.

To Quote btrain8 "He's been offered 2 choices.. 1 with the string entered all the way in with the warning that anyone would be able to press the button and then a 2nd option that enters the string up until the password, which he'd have to manually do. "
So as I said originally, If we give the choices and the warnings, the richest man in the world is paid to make the big decisions.
My personal view - yeah it's stupid putting the whole sequence on a button, but my own boss asked for it, and he got told the risks but still wanted it.
