3.1 .l THE ASSUMPTIONS
The assumptions are:
code for turning on the message waiting light: #90
code for turning off the message waiting light: #91
3.1.2 THE PROGRAMMING
For turning on the light, define the Notify record to
contain:
Type: NORMAL
Method: #90%E
For turning off the light, define the Notify record to
contain:
Type: PICKUP
Method: #91 %E
The Method field breaks down as follows:
#90
# 91

3.1.3 HOW IT WORKS
If your telephone system uses different codes for turning
on and off the message light, Stratagy:
4 Turns on the light at the extension defined by the
Users record Extension field
n Turns off the light at the extension defined by the User
ID's Extension field
3.2 MESSAGE WAITING LIGHT CONTROL
WHEN LIGHT ON AND OFF CODES ARE
THE SAME
If your telephone switch uses the same code to turn on
the message waiting light as it does to turn off the
message waiting light (i.e. it toggles the light using a
single code), then the method above will not work as you
might expect. This is because every time a new message
is saved, Stratagy would perform the light on code
regardless of whether the light was already on.
Therefore, for the first new message, Stratagy would turn
the light on, but on the second new message, if the user
has not picked up the first new message, Stratagy would
turn the light off since it was already on!
To solve this problem, tell Stratagy to do the following:
For turning on the light:
1. Check if you have already turned on the light (Z). If
you have, stop, otherwise continue to step 2.
2. Turn on the light and remember that you have
turned it on (X).
For turning off the light:
n Turn off the light and forget that you had turned it on
(Y).
3.2.1 THE ASSUMPTIONS
Assume the following:
code for turning on/off the message waiting light: 60
3.2.2 THE PROGRAMMING
For turning on the light, define the Notify record to
contain:
Type: NORMAL
Method: Z#GO%EX
For turning off the light, define the Notify record to
contain:
Type: PICKUP
Method: #60%EY
The Method field breaks down as follows:
#60
Turn on/off the message waiting
light. (The code varies depending
upon the telephone system.)
X Create the LIGHT.ON file in the
User ID's directory.
Y Delete the LIGHT.ON file in the
User ID's directory.
Z Test for existence of LIGHT.ON file
in the User ID's directory. If exists,
stop processing the string.
%E
Dial the DTMF digits in the User
ID's Extension field.

3.2.3 HOW IT WORKS
When Stratagy turns on the message light, it:
1. Checks if the light is already turned on (if the
LIGHT.ON file exists in the User ID's directory). If it
exists, Stratagy stops processing the Method field.
2. Turns on the light at the extension defined by the
User ID's Extension field.
When Stratagy turns off the message light, it:
1. Turns off the light at the extension defined by the
User ID's Extension field.
2. Deletes the LIGHT.ON file in the User ID's
directory.
3.3 VOICE NOTIFICATION
You can program Stratagy to notify a user via voice.
Voice notification is commonly used in lieu of message
waiting lights.
