Failed Wakeup Notification

answered after 3 attempts (the attempts are spaced 5 minutes apart), the attendant 
is notified immediately and a record of the failed attempt is printed on the journal 
printer. A special extension number with an Automatic Message Waiting (AMW) 
lamp is assigned solely for the purpose of receiving and storing messages about 
failed wakeup calls. An appearance of this extension is administered on both the 
attendant console and on the backup telephones. The button is labeled
