1.16.1 Message Waiting

Description
An extension user can notify another extension user that he wishes to talk to the user. The
notified extension user can return the call or listen to the messages left in his mailbox of the
VPS.
When a message is left on a PT, the MESSAGE button on it lights or the Message/Ringer
Lamp on it turns on red. Pressing the lit MESSAGE button while on-hook shows the caller's
information as shown below:
[Example]
105:Tom Smith
Conditions
• MESSAGE Button
A flexible button can be customised as the Message button for the extension, other
extensions, or an incoming call distribution group.
• Distinctive Dial Tone for Message Waiting
If the Distinctive Dial mode is enabled, dial tone 4 will be sent to an extension when a
message has been left on the extension. (
• SLT with a Message Waiting Lamp
The lamp activates in the same way as the MESSAGE button on a PT, if an MSLC Card
is connected to the PBX. The Message Waiting Lamp light pattern can be selected from
the twelve patterns. System programming for each extension port is required to use this
feature.
• It is possible to set Message Waiting while hearing a ringback tone, busy tone, or DND
tone.
• Messages are always left on the original extension. Messages cannot be sent to their
FWD or intercept destination.
• Both the message sending extension and receiving extension can cancel a left message.
• If the message receiving extension calls the sending extension and is answered, the
message will be cleared automatically. However, if the message has been left on the
VPS, it depends on the VPS.
