Posted Messages
Users can post a message to provide special information to co-workers with
display telephones—for example, where the person is when not answering the
telephone or why the person does not want to be disturbed. When a user with a
display telephone calls a co-worker with a message posted, the posted
message is shown on the caller’s display (even if the call is answered). Users
do not need a display telephone to post a message.
Twenty different posted messages can be programmed in the telephone
system. Ten messages are programmed by the factory and can be changed.
Ten additional messages can be programmed, and are factory set as “CUSTOM
MSG ##.”
Beginning with Release 2.0, posted message 01, Do Not Disturb,
cannot be changed.

See Labeling for more information on creating posted messages.
In a Release 2.0 or later system, when Do Not Disturb is turned on the system
automatically posts the DO NOT DISTURB message. This message appears on
the Home screen of an MLX display telephone user with Do Not Disturb turned
on, and on the screen of any inside caller with a display telephone who calls
that user. The system automatically unposts the DO NOT DISTURB message
when the user turns off the feature.
Users with analog multiline or MLX-10 non-display telephones must program a
Posted Message button for the system to automatically post or unpost the
message when the feature is turned on or off. A user can post or unpost a DO
NOT DISTURB message by pressing a programmed Posted Message button.
However, this does not turn on or off the Do Not Disturb feature.
Users with MLX display telephones can post a message by pressing the Menu
button, selecting Posted Msg [Post] from the display, selecting the desired
message, and selecting Post.
Users with MLX non-display telephones and analog multiline display telephones
can program a Posted Message button with programming code *751. To post
a message, the user presses the programmed Posted Message button (the
green LED next to the button flashes), and then dials the code for the desired
message (the LED next to the button becomes steady). To cancel a posted
message, the user presses the programmed Posted Message button and dials
00 (the green LED next to the button goes off).
