pressing the Direct Voice Mail button again) or when the call or transferred call
has gone to voice mail.
If you have a programmed Direct Voice Mail button, you can send a call directly to
voice mail while transferring or making a call by pressing the Direct Voice Mail
button. The call or transferred call goes to the extension's voice mail. In this case,
the green LED does not turn on.
If you activate Direct Voice Mail to transfer a call and then press the Direct Voice
Mail button to deselect the feature, the original call is still on hold for transfer. You
can either enter an extension number and complete the transfer to another
extension (by hanging up or pressing the Transfer button) or press the line button
to pick up the call.
Considerations and Constraints
You cannot place a call to your own voice mail by using Direct Voice Mail.
If you have an MLX display telephone and use the System or Extension Directory
to select the extension to receive voice mail, the display does not show the
message Send Voice Mail to:.
Mode Differences
Behind Switch Mode
Although programming a Direct Voice Mail button is allowed, the button serves no
function in Behind Switch mode because no on-premises voice mail systems are
supported. Direct Voice Mail does not work with a voice mail system on the host
PBX or with Centrex voice mail.
Telephone Differences
Queued Call Consoles
On a QCC's DSS, the Direct Voice Mail button is a fixed button, the rightmost
button in the second row from the bottom.
QCC operators may also select the feature from the display.
