Instruction manual

Station-to-Station Message Waiting

Description

This feature allows pairs of multiline voice terminal users to signal each other with Message

Waiting (MSG WAIT) buttons and associated green status LEDs at each terminal. When

either user presses the MSG WAIT button, the LEDs light at both stations. This arrangement

enables one user to inform the other user that a message is waiting; it can also be adapted

to other two-way signaling purposes such as “come to my office.”

After the MSG WAIT LEDs have been turned on, they can be turned off by operation of the

button at either terminal. The receiver of a station-to-station message should normally turn

off the LEDs as soon as the message is understood so that the link is restored to an idle

condition and is ready for use again.

No talking path or audible alerting is associated with this feature.

Considerations

This feature is functionally similar to, but separate from, the Coverage Message Waiting and

Attendant Message Waiting features.

A station can be a member of more than one Station-to-Station Message Waiting pair, but

must have a separate button for each pair.

This feature is not associated with the built-in MESSAGE (or MSG) indicators of many

System 25 voice terminals.

It lights only the LEDs of the feature buttons assigned to

Station-to-Station Message Waiting.

Administration Requirements

Voice Terminal Port:

● For each pair of stations that are to share this feature, assign a MSG WAIT button

with associated status LED at each station.

Note:

MSG WAIT buttons always assigned to pairs of stations for use only

between the two stations. If station A needs to signal stations B and

C, station A must have a separate MSG WAIT button for each.
