That way asterisk can do ivr and voicemail. You also need to program the pbx having all phones set to forward all calls (when nobody picks up or is busy) to that group of extensions so that the call comes back to * carrying the id of the extension with it.

The real problem with Panasonic and anyone's voice mail is tenant

information.
The only way to handle is to dedicate extensions and ports for each 
company, a real waste of resources.
