Message 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 dialling
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. <[005] Flexible CO Button Assignment>
• For single line telephone users without a message waiting lamp, the message waiting ring
tone can be sent to notify the user. The message waiting ring interval time is programmable
(default: 0=no ring). <[216] Message Waiting Ring Interval Time>
• Cancelling a message can be performed from the sending extension or from the receiving
extension.
• The system supports a maximum of 128 simultaneous messages.
• Messages are always left on the original extension. They can not be sent to a Call
Forwarding or Station Hunting destination.
• It is possible to assign whether the system or the Voice Processing System turns off the
Message Waiting lamp when the user hears a message recorded in a mailbox. <[990]
