Message Light
This field controls the message waiting light for each mailbox. There
are three different message light methods you can use for each mail-
box:
A - use the codes programmed for type A fields in PBX --
Parameters --> Dial Strings --> MWI; see Section 9.6.1.
B - use the codes programmed for type B fields in PBX --
Parameters --> Dial Strings --> MWI; see Section 9.6.1.
R - ring the primary extension (1) of the mailbox at the interval
set in the corresponding COS. This selection is often used
when the phones have no MWI.
N - disables message indication for the mailbox.
You can use type A or type B if certain extensions need a special
message light sequence or in networked switches. You can program
the MWI code -- in PBX -- Parameters --> Dial Strings -->MWI -- to
send either the extension number or the mailbox number, as well as
the number of messages in the mailbox.
Message waiting indication light is sent to the extension specified in
Ext. 1 field on this screen. See explanation of Ext.1 in Section 11.5,
below.
MWI2 -- 2nd Message Light
You can light an MWI for an additional mailbox. This is useful when
there is a need to light a MWI for the mailbox's owner and also for
the secretary, who has a different extension number.
Special MWI
You can light a message waiting indicator with a custom code.
Check the Active check box and enter the digits you would like the
system to dial for MWI on and MWI off.
