Features
Messaging
Leave Message
The Leave Message feature allows any user, including operators, to send
messages to local system co-workers. For systems without a local voice
messaging system (VMS), Leave Message works only with display telephones.
For systems with a VMS, Leave Message works with display and non-display
telephones that are subscribers to the VMS. If there is a local VMS, LED lights
and a factory-set message are provided for non-display telephones.
NOTE:
In Release 6.0 and later systems (Hybrid/PBX mode only), you cannot use
Leave Message to signal a non-local extension. The Leave Message
feature works only when the sender, receiver, and VMS are on the same
system.
When you call a co-worker with a display telephone and get no answer or a busy
signal, press a programmed Leave Message button, or press the Feature button
and dial 25. On MLX display telephones, select the feature from the display while
listening to ringback or a busy tone. A message is sent to the display telephone
user. The message includes the caller's name (if labels are programmed) or
extension and the time and date of the call.
If the caller leaves another message for the same person before that person
responds to a previous message, the previous message is overwritten. A person
with a display telephone who has received a message sees only the caller's name
(if labels are programmed) or extension and the date and time for the new
message.
To use the Leave Message feature without calling a user, the multiline telephone
user presses the Feature button (without lifting the handset) and then dials 53 and
the person's extension number. QCC operators cannot use Leave Message
without calling the user.
NOTE:
If the Message LED of the person getting the message is already on, using
the Leave Message feature does not turn the LED off, even if an operator
uses Leave Message to send a message to a display telephone user.
If there is no local VMS, when a person with any telephone tries to use the Leave
Message feature to send a message to a person with a single-line telephone or a
multiline telephone without a display, the caller hears a single beep indicating that
a message must be left with an operator. If the caller has a display telephone, the
message Cannot Send Message is displayed.
