Voicemail system freaked out chuy08 12-29-05

I currently have a Nortel MICS 6.0 with a Call Pilot 100. The system
is our outright and I have let the service aggrement lapse as I have
become very familiar with day to day tasks that need ot happen. But
all of a sudden after I got back from Christmas Holiday pressing
Feature 981 to access the voicemail just cancels out after pressing
Freature 9. The people who have two line Nortel Set can access
voicemail by pressing the mail soft button that appears when there is a
message in the mailbox. For other people who have only single lined
displays I have programmed one of the buttons using Feature *3 to
automate the Feature 981 bit. So on the phones where this feature has
been hard coded they can access their voicemail using that button. The
phones where I neglected to program this feature prior to this weekend
I can no longer program as when I press Feature 9 the screen comes back
to the time display. Any ideas.

Upon further review attempting to access the configuration screens
using the Feature **config code does not allow me access to the config
menu, pressing this buttons just exits back to the typical time and
date display.

Have you rebooted the mail (unplug from power and plug back in after about
30 seconds)? Also what version of mail do you have there are known lockup
issues in early releases.

Logging into the Call Pilot revels the following:

Voice Mail Version:         1.5.32.01

I have never had this issue before, this is the first time that I have
seen anything like this with this phone system.

And yes I have rebooted the voicemail a couple of times to no avail.
My next course of action is to reboot the whole switch as I am even
unable to get into the Config menu anymore.

How long have you waited before trying reaccessing anything after
rebooting the viocemail? It is notoriously slow at restarting, the
display can go back to normal time & date, but the process is not complete.
Further resetting and getting impatient does not help at all. ;-)

You may have to do a voice mail restore (you did a recent backup, I
assume ;-) )
