Extension Status
In Hotel mode, the MERLIN MAIL, MERLIN LEGEND MAIL, or AUDIX Voice
Power outcalling feature does not work.
In Hotel mode, when Auto Dial buttons are used to monitor the status of
telephones (instead of buttons on a DSS), the green LED next to the button
indicates extension status (0, 1, or, 2) and the red LED indicates message status.
In calling group mode, the green LED also indicates extension status, but the red
LED indicates busy/not busy status.
If the system is programmed for Extension Status in Hotel mode, telephones can
be changed to Status 0 (regular call handling) only from the operator console.
Extension Status cannot be changed from rotary telephones.
In Hotel mode, when the system restarts (for example, for maintenance) and the
calling group type is set for Auto Logout (see
for
details), extensions that are assigned Status 1 are changed automatically to
Status 0 and restrictions are removed. If the calling group type is changed to Auto
Login, extensions assigned Status 1 are changed automatically to Status 2 and
restrictions remain.

DSS buttons to see message-waiting status for each telephone.
