essage Waiting
Description
The system supports the ability to inform the called party of a
message waiting. The called party, with a MESSAGE button,
knows there is a message if the MESSAGE button LED (Light
Emitting Diode) lights red. If the button is not provided or
assigned, the called party hears a special dial tone, when he / she
goes off-hook. Pressing the lit MESSAGE button or dialing the
Message Waiting feature number can call back the caller or listen to
messages which are stored in a mailbox in the Voice Processing
System.
Conditions
• For a proprietary telephone which does not have a MESSAGE button, a
flexible CO button can be assigned as the MESSAGE button either by
System or Station Programming.
• For standard telephone users, the message waiting ring tone can be sent
to notify the user. The message waiting ring interval time is
programmable by System Programming (default: 0=no ring).
• Canceling a message can be performed from the sending extension or
from the receiving extension.
• The system supports a maximum of 16 simultaneous messages.
• Messages are always left on the original extension. They can not be
sent to a Call Forwarding or Station Hunting destination.
• The message waiting ring type can be changed in program [990], Field
(40).
