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 lights or the Message/Ringer Lamp turns on red, and
a message is shown on the display of a display PT. Pressing the lit Message button while on-hook shows
the caller's information as shown below:
