Considerations and Constraints
In Release 2.0 and later, if the user has a programmed Posted Message button
and the Do Not Disturb feature is turned on, the system automatically posts the
DO NOT DISTURB message on the display. When the feature is turned off, the
message is canceled. However, posting or canceling the DO NOT DISTURB
message does not turn the feature on or off.
A user does not need a display telephone to use the Leave Message feature,
but the person to whom the message is sent must have a display telephone.
Unlike Send/Remove Message, when the Leave Message feature is used to
send a message to a person whose Message LED is on, the LED is not turned
off even if the caller is a system operator.
If a system operator uses the Send/Remove Message feature while on a call,
only an inside caller hears the touch-tones; an outside caller does not.
If 10 messages have been stored and a user tries to send an eleventh
message, the caller hears a beep and display telephones show the Message
Box Full message.
Responding to messages by using Return Call does not delete the message.
The user must delete all messages before the Message LED goes off.
A fax machine can send the message waiting indication but a fax machine
cannot be assigned as a Message Waiting Receiver for another fax or for a
Calling Group.
If a fax message-waiting indication is deleted by one of the four message
waiting receivers, the message is deleted from all analog multiline display
telephones programmed as a message-waiting receivers for the fax, but the
message is not deleted from MLX display telephones programmed as
message-waiting receivers for the fax.
Each Calling Group can have only one telephone assigned as its Message
Waiting Receiver, but the same telephone can be assigned as the Message
Waiting Receiver for more than one Calling Group.
Messages can be posted only by using a programmed button or, for MLX
display telephone users, by selecting the feature from the display.
A single-line telephone user cannot post a message.
If CUSTOM MSGnn appears on a user’s display, the user has posted a
nonexistent message. (A message has not been programmed for this message
number by the system manager.)
Posted messages are only seen by multiline display users. Users with single-
line telephones or multiline telephones without a display cannot receive a
message posted by another user.
Posting a message does not prevent the telephone from ringing.
