MailBoxes (MBX Fax)
There are 32 mailboxes (MBX), enabling you to transmit 
documents in complete confidence using an access code 
(named MBX code), to all subscribers equipped with a fax 
compatible to yours.
MBX 00 is public. It is handled directly by the terminal to 
record the messages of the fax TAD as soon as this is put 
into service.
MBX’s 01 to 31 are private. Each is password-protected. 
They can be used to receive documents confidentially.
The use and access to MBX 01 - 31 are conditioned by 
the initialisation, defined by a MBX code (if needed) and 
a mnemonic (its S.I.D.).
Later you may:
• modify the features of an MBX,
• print the contents of an MBX, only possible if the MBX 
contains one or more documents (with a star next to 
the MBX). When the contents of an MBX have been 
printed it becomes empty,
• delete an MBX, only if the MBX is initialised and 
empty,
• print the list of your fax machine’s MBX’s.
You may receive and send through an MBX in complete 
confidentiality.
When depositing a document into your MBX, the access 
code is not needed. All documents deposited in a MBX 
are added to the ones already present.
In polling, the MBX’s are only accessible with an MBX 
code.
You may perform MBX deposits or polls by:
