1.17.1 Message Waiting

Description
When an extension user calls another extension that does not or cannot answer the call, he or she can leave
a Message Waiting notification. The appropriate button or lamp on the called extension user's telephone will
light, indicating that a call was missed or a message recorded by the Voice Processing System (VPS) is
waiting. A Message button can be used to call the caller back or listen to the message.
When a message is left for a proprietary telephone (PT), the Message button on it lights or the Message/
Ringer Lamp turns red. Pressing the lit Message button while on-hook shows the caller's information as
shown below:

Conditions
• Message Button
Any flexible button can be assigned as a Message button. This button can be used on a PT which does
not have the MESSAGE button (fixed button), or can be used on any PT to access messages left for
another extension or for an incoming call distribution (ICD) group.
• Distinctive Dial Tone for Message Waiting
If Distinctive Dial mode is enabled, dial tone 4 will be sent to an extension when a message has been
left on the extension. (→ 1.26.1 Dial Tone)
• SLT with a Message Waiting Lamp
The lamp activates in the same way as the MESSAGE button on a PT, provided an MSLC card is
connected to the PBX. The preferred Message Waiting Lamp light pattern can be selected from the
twelve patterns shown below. System programming for each extension port is required to use this
feature.
