Message retrieval calls
All telephones have Message Waiting capability, and any SL-1 or Meridian
digital telephone (except the M3000) can function as a Message Center. The
DN used for message taking should be the prime DN if Message Waiting
lamp Indication and Cancellation are desired. Calls are redirected to the
telephone-type Message Center using Message Forwarding. Since this is a
normal DN, calls are not queued.
A telephone with Message Waiting may be equipped with a key/lamp pair
that notifies you when a message is waiting. When this key is pressed, you are
connected with the Message Center.
500/2500 telephones with Message Waiting Allowed Class of Service may be
equipped with a neon lamp for visual indication. These telephones must Dial
Access the Message Center.
A telephone without a Message Waiting lamp, except the M2317, can be
informed that a message is waiting by Audible Message Waiting (AMW)
(Prime DNs and Single Appearance DNs only). A special Message Waiting
tone is heard each time you go off hook until the Message Waiting Indication
is canceled by the Message Center operator. Calls can be originated and
received with the tone activated.
Message indication at a called telephone can take the following forms:
SL-1 and Meridian digital telephones with a key/lamp pair
The lamp
associated with the MSG WAITING key indicates that a message is waiting
at the Message Center.
500/2500 telephones with a Message Waiting lamp
A Message Waiting
lamp on the telephone indicates that a message is waiting at the Message
Center.
