Message Deposit; Message Waiting - Comdial DXP Plus Manual

DXP Plus General Description
Maximum Call Duration
This feature automatically cuts off calls on certain lines after a preprogrammed time. The system will not
cut off calls made to an emergency number. The system sounds a warning tone at the busy station 10
seconds before it disconnects the call. The warning tone consists of one 800 ms burst followed by eight
100 ms bursts.
Meet—Me Answer Page
Any station user can dial a code in response to an all-call or zone page and be connected to the paging
party in a private conversation.
Memory Retention Without Batteries
The database programming is electronically protected during AC power failures by an internal electronic
component sometimes known as a "supercap". The stored data will remain in memory for a minimum of
30 hours provided that the system has been powered continuously for approximately 30 minutes prior to
the power failure or disconnection. The system clock will continue to run for at least 30 minutes after an
AC power failure or disconnection.

Message Deposit

This messaging feature allows station users to call an LCD speakerphone and arrange for a message to be
left on its display. The message is for the called party to read if he or she is unable to answer the caller.

Message Waiting

A special feature access code allows a station user to control the message waiting (MW) light at other
stations in the system. When the message waiting light is turned on at a station, the user can
automatically call the station that turned it on. Stations that include an LCD display show the source of
the message.
The programmer can program one station as the central message desk and arrange it for exclusive
message waiting control. The central message desk user can control message waiting lights and deliver
messages to and from all other stations in the system. The programmer can also provide a programmable
button for placing and retrieving message waiting calls. Single line telephones only utilize central
message desk signaling. A station can have as many 8 message waiting lights stacked at one time.
Mnemonic Programming
Refer to the discussion titled Programmable Button Flexibility.
Modem Support
The system supports the operation of the DXMDM serial data modem. The DXMDM is a
general-purpose, 300, 1200, and 2400 automatic baud detect, serial data modem that receives its operating
power and configuration programming from the DXP Plus system. The CPU board provides a dedicated
serial data port for DXMDM modem use. If your installer connects the modem to a serial data port that is
supplied by a communications card, he or she will need to program the system for modem operation on
this port. Regardless of where the modem is connected, the system arranges for that port to automatically
match the baud rate and serial data parameters of the modem.
The system also supports the operation of a customer-supplied modem connected to a serial data port that
is supplied by a communications card.. This customer-supplied modem must be self-powered and must
provide its own terminal ready and auto answer capability.
