Multi-Function Module
Considerations and Constraints
When both the MLX telephone and the device connected to an MFM are in use,
Voice Announce to Busy feature cannot be used to reach the MLX telephone.
Voice Announce to Busy interferes with data calls made to a data workstation
including an MFM.
The tip/ring or SAA interface is selected by setting pin straps in the MFM. Only
authorized technicians can install or set options in the MFM.
When Ringing/Idle Line Preference is turned on for an MFM and Automatic Line
Selection is set to an outside line/trunk, inside calls cannot be made and features
cannot be used. Both inside and outside calls can be received.
Calls are independently sent to the MLX telephone and its associated MFM. The
following features can be employed when a user wants calls to be received at
both the MLX telephone and the device connected to an MFM:
Cover buttons
Shared SA buttons
Buttons assigned the same outside lines
Forward and Follow Me
Transfer
An MFM can be assigned as a calling group delay announcement or as a
calls-in-queue alert for a calling group queue.
Tip/ring devices connected on an MFM should not be used with Call Management
System (CMS).
Features and tip/ring applications that require a switchhook flash for operation
(such as Lucent Technologies Attendant, MERLIN LEGEND MAIL Voice
Messaging System, or MERLIN MAIL Voice Messaging System) cannot be
connected through an MFM because the system ignores the switchhook flash
sent by the device.
Some answering machines have the built-in ability to disconnect when someone
picks up a line they have already answered. However, when a Shared SA button
or a shared personal line is assigned to the MFM, the device cannot detect when
a line is picked up by the sharing user. Therefore, if such an answering machine is
connected to the MFM, the machine does not automatically disconnect when
someone picks up the shared lines that the machine has already answered.
NOTE:
Forward and Follow Me (including Remote Call Forward) and
Privacy are not recommended because there are no LEDs to
indicate when the features are active.
