assignments for the menu.

Unanswered transferred calls ring continuously.

To ensure that a line does not remain up even after a caller hangs up, verify that your local
telephone company is providing a forward disconnect signal. It is also recommended that you
assign voice mail coverage to all extensions.
The system stops recording while the caller is leaving a
message.
The maximum message length of two minutes may have been reached, or the mailbox may be
full. You may be able to reconfigure the voice messaging system size (Release 3.0 or later) to
gain message space.
If Automatic Extension Privacy (#304) is not administered and an extension user picks up the
line while the message was being recorded, the voice messaging system drops.
The caller's spoken words may have been interpreted as touch tones that interrupted
recording.
The mailbox is full and messages cannot be deposited in
the mailbox.
Remind subscribers to delete old messages from their mailboxes on a regular basis. Also let
callers know that they can press #8 to transfer to another extension.
