3-82 Features
The system supports voice mail service, which is an answering
system offered by the telephone company, to notify the called party
of a message waiting. After subscription, the voice mail system can
answer calls automatically instead of the PBX when the line is busy
or calls are not answered, and callers can leave their messages in a
mailbox provided by the telephone company.
The Message/Ringer Lamp will light red and the corresponding S-
CO button will flash red moderately after the mailbox has received
messages, on a Panasonic proprietary telephone (PT).
This feature is available only for PTs.
• The system supports both the Stutter dial tone method and FSK method
assigned on an outside (CO) line basis in program [435] "Local Carrier-
Based Voice Mail Signaling Assignment".
• The Message/Ringer Lamp lights red and the corresponding S-CO button
flashes red moderately when a message has been recorded and stored in
the mailbox of the telephone company. Going off-hook, pressing the
flashing S-CO button (red, moderately) and then pressing the MESSAGE
button allows a PT user to access the voice mail system and listen to the
messages stored in the mailbox.
• The voice mail service access number can be up to 32 digits long, assigned
on an outside (CO) line basis in program [436] "Local Carrier-Based
Voice Mail Access Dial Assignment". During this programming, pressing
the INTERCOM (SECRET) button before and after any confidential parts
of the number allows a PT user to prevent the display of all or part of a
number. (Refer to Section 3 "Secret Dialing".)
• In program [437] "Extension Access to Local Carrier-Based Voice Mail
Assignment", the user can program which extensions can access the voice
mail service on an outside (CO) line basis. More than one CO line can be
assigned to one extension.
• When an outside (CO) line is set for "Stutter" in program [435] "Local
Carrier-Based Voice Mail Signaling Assignment" and the user seizes the
outside (CO) line, they will hear a stutter dial tone if a message is in their
voice mail box. Approximately 5 seconds after the user hangs up one of
the contracted outside (CO) lines, or approximately 3 minutes 46 seconds
after the phone stops ringing, the PBX automatically seizes the line and
checks if a message has been recorded. If a new message was recorded in
the mailbox of the telephone company, the Message/Ringer Lamp lights
red and the corresponding S-CO button flashes red moderately.
• If the voice mail service uses a stutter dial tone and the recorded message
is over 3 minutes long, in some cases the Message/Ringer Lamp may not
light and the corresponding S-CO button may not flash.
• A contract with the telephone company may be required for Local Carrier-
Based Voice Mail Service. Consult the telephone company for details.
