Message Retrieval Order
The order in which the subscriber retrieves messages: Last In First Out (LIFO) or First
In First Out (FIFO).
Message Transfer
Allows a subscriber to reroute a message to another mailbox unless the message was
marked "private". Additional comments can be added to this message.
Message Waiting Lamp
Light on proprietary telephones that lights when there are messages in the mailbox.
Message Waiting Notification
The VPS can notify subscribers and the Message Manager when they have received
messages (if authorized by the System Administrator or the System Manager). There
are 3 notification methods: (1) by the Message Waiting Lamp, (2) by a telephone, or
(3) by a beeper.
Multilingual Selection Menu
The Message Manager is responsible for recording this menu. Allows callers to choose
the language they want (System, User 1 or User 2 prompts) when they call the VPS.
Non-Subscriber
A caller to the VPS who does not own a mailbox.
Notification Method
(See Message Waiting Notification.)
Operator
Up to 3 destinations can be assigned as operators. This is the extension that receives
calls when the calling party is on a rotary phone or dials [0].
Owner’s Name
After a subscriber records her name, the VPS announces her name during transfers,
Intercom Paging, and confirmation of Dialing by Name.
Independent of this recording is registration of name by System Administrator.
This allows callers to dial parties by name (Dialing by Name) rather than by number.
For example, a caller can dial "S-M-I-T" (Smith) rather than Smith’s mailbox number,
which can be hard to remember.
