Message Waiting Light Control When Light On And Off Codes Are The Same - Toshiba Stratagy IVP8 Installation And Maintenance Manual

How It Works
If your telephone system uses different codes for turning on and off the message light, Stratagy:
1. Turns on the light at the extension defined by the User ID's Extension field.
2. Turns off the light at the extension defined by the User ID's Extension field.
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
it off (i.e., 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 performs the light on code
regardless of whether the light was already on. Therefore, for the first new message, Stratagy turns
the light on, but on the second new message, if the user has not picked up the first new message,
Stratagy turns the light off since it was already on!
To solve this problem, do the following:
➤
To turn on the light
1. Check if you have already turned on the light (Z). If you haven't continue to Step 2.
2. Turn on the light and remember that you have turned it on (X).
➤
To turn off the light
➤
Turn off the light and forget that you had turned it on (Y).
