Messaging
on the screen of any inside caller with a display telephone who calls that user. The
system automatically removes the Do Not Disturb message when the user turns
off the feature. On analog multiline, MLX-5, or MLX-10 nondisplay telephones, the
Do Not Disturb message is not posted automatically unless the telephone has a
programmed Posted Messages button.
A user can post or remove a Do Not Disturb message by pressing a programmed
Posted Messages button. However, this does not turn the Do Not Disturb feature
on or off.
Users with MLX display telephones can post a message by pressing the Menu
button, selecting
Posted Msg
[
Post
] from the display, selecting the desired
message, and selecting
Post
.
Users with analog multiline, MLX-5, or MLX-10 nondisplay telephones must use
programming code

to program a Posted Messages button for the system to
automatically post or remove the message when the feature is turned on or off. To
post a message, press the programmed Posted Messages button; the green LED
next to the button flashes. Then dial the code for the desired message; the LED
next to the button becomes steady. To cancel a posted message, press the
programmed Posted Messages button and dial

the green LED next to the
button turns off.
Considerations and Constraints

In Release 2.0 and later systems, if a user at an analog multiline, MLX-5, or
MLX-10 telephone has a programmed Posted Message button and the Do Not
Disturb feature is turned on, the system automatically posts the Do Not Disturb
message for callers with display telephones. The programmed button is not
required at MLX display telephones. When the feature is turned off, the message
is canceled. However, posting or canceling the Do Not Disturb message does
not
turn the feature on or off.
A user does not need a display telephone to use the Leave Message feature, but
the person to whom the message is sent must have a display telephone. Unlike
Send/Remove Message, when the Leave Message feature is used to send a
message to a person whose Message LED is on, the LED is not turned off even if
the caller is an operator.
If an operator uses the Send/Remove Message feature while on a call, only an
inside caller hears the touch tones; an outside caller does not. If 10 messages
have been stored and a user tries to send an eleventh message, the caller hears
a beep and display telephones show
Message Box Full
.
Responding to messages by using Return Call does not delete the message. The
user must delete all messages before the Message LED turns off. A fax machine
can send the message-waiting indication but cannot be assigned as a
message-waiting receiver for either another fax or for a calling group.
