The Conference feature cannot be used on the MFM because the system
ignores the switchhook flash sent by the MFM.
An MFM can be a sender or a receiver for Individual or Group Coverage.
This allows an MLX telephone user to screen calls by using an answering
machine connected to the MFM or to supplement ringing with an external
alert connected to the MFM. A sender can use Coverage Off to prevent
calls from being sent to an answering machine.
Calls can be redirected to the MFM by assigning a Primary Cover,
Secondary Cover, or Group Cover button. Coverage and Forward and
Follow Me should not be used simultaneously.
An MLX telephone at a digital data workstation must not include an MFM.
Do Not Disturb is not recommended, because the device connected to
the MFM does not have an LED to indicate when the feature is active.
A single-line telephone with a Message LED that is connected to an MFM
can receive message-waiting indications, but not a stutter dial tone.
An MLX telephone user can activate Forward and Follow Me to redirect
incoming calls to an MFM device. Coverage, however, should not be
used simultaneously with Forward and Follow Me.
An MFM can be assigned as a calling group delay announcement device
or as a calls-in-queue alert for a calling group queue.
A single-line telephone connected to an MFM cannot put a call on hold
because the MFM cannot send a switchhook flash.
A single-line telephone with a Message LED connected to an MFM can
receive message-waiting indications.
A single-line telephone connected to an MFM cannot be used as a
HotLine.
An MFM can be a member of a Night Service group. An external alert
connected to the MFM in SAA operation, when assigned to a Night
Service group, can provide supplemental ringing for after-hours calls.
An MFM should not be a member of a speakerphone paging group.
At an MFM, a call cannot be parked, but a parked call can be picked up by
another user.
If an MFM device is used to answer calls or provide supplementary
ringing for its associated MLX telephone, any personal lines removed
from the telephone should also be removed from the MFM. When the
device connected to an MFM (a modem, for example) requires a personal
line to make and/or receive calls, a personal line should be assigned.
Privacy should not be used on an MFM (unless Privacy is to stay on at all
times, as at a data workstation), because there is no LED to indicate
whether Privacy is on or off.
