Audible message waiting
Audible Message Waiting places a stutter at the beginning of a station dial tone on a station that has a
message waiting. Audible Message Waiting is particularly useful for visually impaired people who may
not be able to see a message light.
Messages for a station can be waiting in system memory (to be accessed via display or voice synthesizer),
Property Management System (PMS) or AUDIX. When the system loses synchronization between
telephones and message-status data, use Clear Message Waiting Indicators to turn off message-waiting
indicators.
You typically assign Audible Message Waiting on phones without message-waiting lights, such as analog
telephones.
Audible Message Waiting requires a separate software right-to-use fee. Audible Message Waiting may
not be applicable in countries that restrict the characteristics of dial tones provided to users.
