Feature Interactions
Barge-In
If Barge-In is used to contact a user with a posted message, the
caller’s telephone does not display that message.
Directory
When an Extension Directory is used to call a co-worker with a
posted message, the posted message is not displayed on the
caller’s telephone.
Direct Station
When a system operator presses the Message Status button
Selector
on a DSS adjunct, the LEDs on the DSS reflect only messages
left by a system operator using the Send/Remove Message
feature and not messages left by any user (including a system
operator) using the Leave Message feature.
Display
When users try to send messages to a telephone with a full
message box, they see Message Box Full on the display,
When a user tries to retrieve messages and the message box is
empty, No Messages appears on the display.
When a user has a message from a co-worker, the display
shows the name or extension number (if no label is
programmed) of the caller and, on MLX telephones, the time
and date the message was left. An unread message is marked
with an asterisk (*).
Messages can also be received from outside callers (if the
telephone has a voice messaging system) and from the system
operator. On MLX display telephones, messages left by a voice
messaging system are identified as VMS, messages from the
system operator are identified as ATT, and message waiting
indications received by a Fax Message Waiting Receiver are
identified as FAX. On analog multiline telephones, messages
are indicated by Call extension or caller’s name.
Return Call is not operable for messages received from a fax
machine and cannot be used to make a call to the fax.
The type of message indicated does not allow a Calling Group
message-waiting receiver to distinguish between a message left
for the Calling Group and a fax or personal message.
Do Not Disturb
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
