Using WSU Voicemail System

WSU Unified Messaging System

This system can be used by all employees with a desk phone connected to the WSU phone system. You will now be able to hear your voicemail messages from any device you check your WSU email with.

Initial Setup - Done on Your Desk Phone

The initial set up of a voice mailbox needs to be done on your desk phone, and not through WebPhoneManager.

1. Contact TSC to find out what your defaul security code (PIN#) is.
2. From your desk phone (Winona & Rochester campuses), call 33-5899. You will need to dial all 6-digits.
   1. If you are off campus call 507.457.5899. Listen to the instructions, and then enter your 6-digit extension.
   2. Winona Campus: 33-xxxx, WSU-Rochester: 32-xxxx, WSU-Rochester on Broadway: 34-xxxx (xxxx = last four digits of your WSU phone extension)
   3. For shared voice mailboxes: If calling from a desk phone that has voice mail assigned, call 33-5899, after the system greeting, press the * key to enter the 6-digit extension for the shared account.
3. When prompted, enter the 6 digit temporary security code, provided by TSC.
4. Follow the tutorial to set your new security code. This can be 6-15 digits long.
5. Record your name, and record your greeting.
6. Your mailbox is initialized once you hear “Congratulations!”

Web PhoneManager

The Web PhoneManager allows you to set some of your mailbox options. WSU’s configuration allows you to update your greeting, reset your security code and turn the Out of Office greeting on/off.

Access Web PhoneManager at: https://voicemail.winona.edu/

Mailbox: Use your 6-digit phone number to log in

• Prefix 32 = Winona campus
• Prefix 33 = Rochester campus
• Prefix 34 = Rochester on Broadway

Security Code is the 6-15 digit code you created probably when you setup your mailbox on your desk phone. Use Forgot Security Code if you need to recreate.

Forgot Security Code

If you have already completed the initial setup on your phone (see above instructions), but now forgot your security code, go to http://voicemail.winona.edu and select "Forgot Security Code" at the bottom of the screen.

• Mailbox = Your 6-digit phone number
• Email Address = Use your friendly email address, i.e., jdoe@winona.edu, or jane.doe@winona.edu

FAQ

I hung up before I heard "Congratulations" and now I cannot sign on with the default PIN. What should I do?
