INSTALLING THE VOICE MESSAGING SYSTEM 25
Call forward to personal greeting
When call forwarding is supported,
the telephone system automatically
forwards calls to Lingo when an exten-
sion is busy or unanswered. When the
telephone system forwards a call to
Lingo, it sends a follow-along ID. This
ID identifies the extension the call was
forwarded from. When Lingo answers
the forwarded call, it hears the follow-
along ID information, and knows to
transfer the call directly to the
extension’s voice mailbox.
Easy message access
This feature lets a subscriber check
messages by pressing a single button
on the telephone. To do this, Lingo
takes advantage of programmable
speed dialing offered by some tele-
phone systems. The speed dial key at
each extension must be programmed
to dial Lingo, wait for an answer, then
send the appropriate DTMF signals to
identify the correct mailbox and
retrieve messages.
Which features does the telephone
support?
All telephone systems support some
form of message notification for Lingo.
Your customer’s telephone system may
also support call forwarding and easy
message access. To confirm which
features your customer’s telephone
system supports, check the telephone
system documentation.
