NOTE:
In Release 6.0 and later systems (Hybrid/PBX mode only), fax message
waiting does not function unless the fax extensions and user extensions
are located on the same system.
Return Call is not operable for messages received from a fax machine and cannot
be used to make a call to the fax.
NOTE:
Fax machines only can send message-waiting indications. They cannot
receive message-waiting indications.
Calling Group Message-Waiting Receivers 28
An extension can be programmed as the message-waiting receiver for a calling
group. The user can receive personal messages or messages intended for the
calling group from any of the sources listed under “Receiving Messages” above.
NOTE:
In Release 6.0 and later systems (Hybrid/PBX mode only), a message-
waiting receiver for a calling group must be a local user on the same
system as the calling group.
Posted Messages 28
Users can post a message to provide special information to co-workers with
display telephones—for example, to tell callers where the person is when not
answering the telephone or why the person does not want to be disturbed. When
a user with a display telephone calls a co-worker who has a message posted, the
posted message is shown on the caller’s display (even if the call is answered).
Users do not need a display telephone to post a message.
NOTE:
In Release 6.0 and later systems (Hybrid/PBX mode only), posted
messages do not work across a private network. They only work for
extensions connected to the same local system.
Twenty different posted messages can be programmed in the telephone system.
Ten messages are factory-set and nine of them can be changed. Posted message
01,
'2127',6785%, cannot be changed. Ten additional messages can be
programmed and are factory-set as
&8672006*.
The factory settings for posted messages are shown in Table 29
