Instruction manual

Features
If the external alert is used to supplement the ringing for both inside and outside
calls, the MFM should be assigned (via centralized telephone programming) as
a Primary Individual Coverage receiver with the ringing option of Immediate
Ring. The MLX telephone can use Coverage On/Off to activate the alert. In
addition, by specifying that both inside and outside calls or only outside calls
are covered with the Coverage arrangement, the sender (in this case the MLX
telephone user) can specify that the device (the receiver) rings for both inside
and outside calls or only for outside calls.
In Release 2.0 and later releases, Coverage VMS can be used to prevent
outside calls from being sent to voice mail. When this feature is turned on, only
calls from inside extensions receive voice mail Coverage. Outside calls
continue to be sent to any other Coverage in service.
If the external alert is used to supplement ringing only for calls received on
Personal Lines (outside lines assigned to buttons), the same outside trunks and
ringing options assigned to the MLX telephone should also be assigned to the
MFM. In this arrangement, the MFM device does not ring when inside talk are
received on an SA or ICOM button.
An external alert connected to an MFM set for SAA operation can be manually
signaled, it can serve as a Calling Group Calls in Queue Alarm, or it can provide
supplemental alerting for after-hours calls received in a Night Service group.
Programming Requirements
Although the devices connected via an MFM may not have buttons, the system
treats them as multiline telephones with 34 buttons. In Hybrid/PBX mode, the
system automatically assigns one SA Ring, one SA Voice, and one
SA Originate Only button to the MFM. In Key mode, the system automatically
assigns one ICOM Ring and one ICOM Voice button to the MFM. In Behind
Switch mode, the system automatically assigns one ICOM Ring, one
ICOM Voice, and one Prime Line button.
To ensure proper operation of devices connected via an MFM, the following
should be assigned via centralized telephone programming:
■ Voice Announce to Busy should be disabled.
■ The SA or ICOM button assignments should be changed to one
SA Ring or ICOM Ring and one SA Originate Only or
ICOM Originate Only button.
■ Ringing/Idle Line Preference should be enabled.
