MERLIN LEGEND Communications System Release 7.0
Feature Reference 555-670-110
Features
Messaging
If a fax message-waiting indication is deleted by one of the four message-waiting
receivers, the message is deleted from all analog multiline and MLS display
telephones programmed as message-waiting receivers for the fax, but the
message is not deleted from MLX and ETR display telephones programmed as
message-waiting receivers for the fax.
Each calling group can have only one extension assigned as its message-waiting
receiver, but the same extension can be assigned as the message-waiting
receiver for more than one calling group.
Messages can be posted only by using a programmed button or, for MLX display
telephone users, by selecting the feature from the display.
A single-line telephone user cannot post a message.
When a user posts a nonexistent message, CUSTOM MSGnn is displayed,
indicating that the system manager has not programmed a message for this
message number.
Only multiline display telephone users see posted messages. Users with
single-line telephones or multiline telephones without displays cannot receive
messages posted by other users.
Posting a message does not prevent the telephone from ringing.
Message Waiting does not work for off-premises telephones.
In Release 6.0 and later systems (Hybrid/PBX mode only), messaging features do
not work across a private network. They only work for extensions connected to the
same local system.
Telephone Differences
Direct-Line Consoles
The Send/Remove Message feature is an operator-only feature used by a DLC
operator to turn on the Message LED to indicate a message waiting. For
telephones without a display, Send/Remove Message is the only way the
Message LED can be turned on and off by operators.
A Send/Remove Message button is factory-assigned to an MLX-28D used as a
DLC. On a system with 29 or fewer lines, Alarm, Night Service, and Send/Remove
Message are assigned by default to analog DLCs on buttons 32 through 34. On a
system with more than 29 lines, Alarm, Night Service, and Send/Remove
Message are not assigned to a DLC; instead lines 30 through 32 are. The first 18
lines on an MLX DLC are always factory-set as personal lines.
