Voice messaging
When used behind a PABX, this telephone will respond to voice messaging
systems on many PABX types, giving a visual signal of a message waiting. Your
telephone manager will be aware of which system is relevant to your organisation
and will adjust or advise you on the adjustment of your telephone accordingly.
This adjustment is carried out by means of a switch, labelled N/S2/S1 , located
next to the recall switch, mentioned above. As supplied, the telephone is set to
the N (normal) position. Under no circumstances should this Voice Messaging
Switch (
Figure 4&5
) be set at the S1 or S2 without the approval of your
telecoms manager. In either of the S positions, the telephone must NOT be
connected directly to a public network line.
(Technical note : S1 and S2 are for reverse polarity messaging systems. With
such a system in use, if the telephone does not respond in the S1 position,
switch it to the S2 position and it should then respond.
Some PABX’s require a certain level of software and/or hardware within the
switch. If your telephone appears not to work, make sure that you have the
correct software/hardware installed).
