Considerations and Constraints
In Release 2.0 and later systems, if a user at an analog multiline, MLX-5, or
MLX-10 telephone has a programmed Posted Message button and the Do Not
Disturb feature is turned on, the system automatically posts the Do Not Disturb
message for callers with display telephones. The programmed button is not
required at MLX display telephones. When the feature is turned off, the message
is canceled. However, posting or canceling the Do Not Disturb message does not
turn the feature on or off.
A user does not need a display telephone to use the Leave Message feature, but
the person to whom the message is sent must have a display telephone. Unlike
Send/Remove Message, when the Leave Message feature is used to send a
message to a person whose Message LED is on, the LED is not turned off even if
the caller is an operator.
If an operator uses the Send/Remove Message feature while on a call, only an
inside caller hears the touch tones; an outside caller does not. If 10 messages
have been stored and a user tries to send an eleventh message, the caller hears
a beep and display telephones show
Responding to messages by using Return Call does not delete the message. The
user must delete all messages before the Message LED turns off.
A fax machine can send the message-waiting indication but cannot be assigned
as a message-waiting receiver for either another fax or for a calling group.
If a fax message-waiting indication is deleted by one of the four message-waiting
receivers, the message is deleted from all analog multiline display telephones
programmed as a message-waiting receivers for the fax, but the message is not
deleted from MLX 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,
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.
