Features
Multi-Function Module
Features and tip/ring applications that require a switchhook flash for operation
(such as Messaging 2000) cannot be connected through an MFM because the
system ignores the switchhook flash sent by the device.
Some answering machines have the built-in ability to disconnect when someone
picks up a line the machine has already answered. However, when a Shared SA
button or a shared personal line is assigned to the MFM, the device cannot detect
when a line is picked up by the sharing user. Therefore, if such an answering
machine is connected to the MFM, the machine does not automatically disconnect
when someone picks up the shared lines that the machine has already answered.
Similarly, if the MFM extension is a Primary Coverage receiver for the MLX
telephone or has the MLX extension's calls forwarded to it, the machine does not
automatically disconnect when the telephone user picks up a call.
When programming, you cannot select an MFM by slot and port ( [

A digital data or video workstation with an MLX telephone must not include an
MFM.
