Listening to Recorded Messages (Direct Mailbox Access)
After the VPS records a message, it will light the appropriate lamp or button on the extension for which
the message was intended, to indicate there is a new message. (→ 1.17.1 Message Waiting) The
extension user can play the message back simply by pressing the button used for mailbox access; he
or she does not need to enter a mailbox number. This button may be the MESSAGE button, depending
on the proprietary telephone (PT) being used, or a One-touch Dialing button assigned to dial a floating
extension number of a VM group. (→ 1.6.1.2 One-touch Dialing)
An extension user can, at any time, play back any messages in his or her mailbox, including old
messages. The user simply dials a floating extension number used by the VM (DPT) group from his or
her extension. (Direct Mailbox Access) A mailbox number does not need to be dialed. This feature is
enabled or disabled according to the Class of Service (COS) assigned to the mailbox through VPS
programming.

VPS CO Line Service & Automatic Time Mode Notification*
Multiple tenants can share a single VPS; a dedicated VPS port for each tenant is not required. This is
possible because when CO line calls are directed or redirected to a VM (DPT) group, the PBX sends
information to the VPS which determines the OGM that is heard by callers. ("Thank you for calling
Company A", "Thank you for calling Company B", etc.)
If an incoming CO line call is directed via DIL distribution to a VM (DPT) group, the PBX sends to the
VPS the corresponding information that is assigned in the DIL Table, namely, the VPS trunk (CO line)
group number and the tenant number. (→ 1.1.1.2 Direct In Line (DIL))
This information is used to send the appropriate OGM to the caller for the current time mode (→ 2.2.4
Time Service), and is programmable for each CO line in the DIL Table.
* The software contained in the VPS may need to be updated before this feature can be used.
[Example]
In order for callers to hear the correct OGM for the current time mode, the DIL Table of the PBX must
be programmed to match the settings of the VPS.
[Programming Example]
Each CO line can be assigned a VPS trunk (CO line) group number as well as a tenant number.
