An inside Auto Dial button can be programmed on an analog
multiline telephone to determine whether devices such as fax
machines or modems connected to the telephone via an MFM
are in use.
The Automatic Line Selection order for the MFM should be set
to select SA Ring or ICOM Ring, then SA Originate Only or
ICOM Originate Only, and then outside lines assigned to the
MFM or the Prime Line in Behind Switch mode. When
Ringing/Idle Line Preference is turned on for an MFM and
Automatic Line Selection is set to an outside trunk, inside calls
cannot be made and features cannot be used. Both inside and
outside calls can be received.
Both Automatic and Selective Callback can be used from an
MFM; however, a Callback call cannot be manually canceled.
The Conference feature cannot be used on the MFM since the
system ignores the switchhook flash sent by the MFM.
An MFM can be a sender or a receiver for Individual or Group
Coverage. This allows the associated MLX telephone user to
screen calls by using an answering machine connected to the
MFM or to supplement ringing by using an external alert
connected to the MFM. A sender can use Coverage On/Off to
prevent calls from being sent to an answering machine.
Do Not Disturb is not recommended because the device
connected to an MFM does not have an LED to indicate when
the feature is active.
Forward and Follow Me (including Remote Call Forward) are not
recommended on an MFM because the user does not have an
LED that indicates when the feature is active.
An MFM can be a member of a calling group, assigned as a
delay announcement for a calling group, or used to connect the
Calls-in-Queue alert for the calling group. An MFM used for the
delay announcement or for the Calls-in-Queue alert should not
be assigned as a group member.
Calls cannot be put on hold on an MFM, because the system
ignores the switchhook flash.
A single-line telephone with Message LED connected to an
MFM can receive message-waiting indications.
