Sending an MWI
Message
The Message Waiting Indicator (MWI) to Telephone allows a user to light
a programmable Access button and leave a call-back number on another
telephone. This feature is distinct from voice mail in that the telephone
does not ring and there is no voice mail message. Example: A principal
can use this feature to notify a teacher, without interrupting the class, to
call the office as soon as possible.
3Com Cordless Telephones allow you to send and cancel MWI messages.
The telephones do not support MWI message retrieval or deletion.
You can send an MWI message to any telephone on your NBX system
that has an MWI Retrieve button enabled. Sending an MWI message
turns on the light on the target telephone if it is not already lit, and leaves
your telephone number as a callback number.
You use feature codes, or your administrator can configure Access
buttons on your telephone, to send and cancel MWI messages.
You cannot send an MWI message to:
Telephones that are not enabled or that have reached their MWI

message limit (30)
Remote NBX systems over external line
