voicemail box....bigger hard drive?

our PBX system has a white box mounted on the wall that says partner mail on it.

internally, it has 3 cards, a main board, a power supply, and a hard drive.

each of the 3 boards have 2 phone line jacks on them that hook up to the PBX system.

my question is...i have added a new blade to give me, i think 8, new extensions in the office. the new board works, i only needed 2 or 3 new lines. i already tested the new extensions, they work, however, i wont be needing to use them for another month or so...

my question is...i don't know how big of a hard drive is in this unit. how can i tell how big the hard drive is and what would i need to do if i decided to add a new hard drive? i am assuming i cant just add a new hard drive w/o losing whatever configuration is on the current one.

my main problem right now is that i have no clue how much space is being used in our current voice mail system. maybe the hard drive can handle a few more lines, maybe it cant...

any ideas, suggestions, questions?

thanks.

With the Partner Mail, or any AT&T/Lucent/Avaya voicemail system, simply popping in a new hard drive won't work unless it is a drive that is specifically marketed as a direct replacement for the voicemail system.

I'm not very familiar with the old Partner Mail system. Given that the Partner Mail has been off the market for many years and that Avaya no longer supports it, my thought would be to check and see if your system is compatible with current Avaya voicemail products and, if so, upgrade.

there is a serial port that i didn't mention. i wonder if it would tell me in the manual how to connect to it.

i haven't tried the easiest step yet...to try to just add the mailboxes. i am just trying to get some research done so i know what to expect when i go to add 1 or 2 new mailboxes into the system.

thanks.

The largest Partner is in the 48 extension range and you are describing a 6 port voice mail system. The HD based VM systems probably don't have significant time limits or mailbox limits that would exceed your requirements.

You can always go to avaya.com and do some research on the voice mail.
