I Acting as a Message Center
The VP 300 can also be set up to answer forwarded calls and act as a message center. For example, a
company with Centrex service already has a means of getting calls directly to a station. When the
station is busy or does not answer, the station can be forwarded to a VP 300 hunt group to take a
message. Ports receiving forwarded calls are configured in CX mode. The VP 300 does not attempt to
call the extension number entered by the caller but immediately goes to that extension's mailbox and
offers to take a message.
The attendant may also extend callers to a VP 300 port to allow them to leave a voice message. The
port is configured as MX mode. As with CX mode, it does not call the extension number entered but
goes to that extension's mailbox and offers to take a message.
