■ When the device is used only on personal lines for supplementary
answering (such as an answering machine) or ringing (such as an external
alert) and lines/trunks are assigned to or removed from the associated
MLX telephone, the lines/trunks should also be assigned to or removed
from the MFM.
■ When the device is used for both inside and outside calls to supplement
ringing (external alert) or to answer or screen calls (answering machine),
calls can be redirected to the device by assigning a Primary Cover,
Secondary Cover, Group Cover, or Shared SA button. In addition, an MLX
telephone user can activate Forward and Follow Me to redirect incoming
calls to the device. However, Coverage should not be used simultaneously
with Forward and Follow Me.
NOTE:
Forward and Follow Me (including Remote Call Forwarding) and
Privacy are not recommended because there are no LEDs to
indicate when the features are active.
Considerations and Constraints 29
When both the MLX telephone and the device connected to an MFM are in use,
the Voice Announce to Busy feature cannot be used to reach the MLX telephone.
Voice Announce to Busy interferes with data calls made to a data workstation
including an MFM.
The tip/ring or SAA interface is selected by setting pin straps in the MFM. Only
authorized technicians can install or set options in the MFM.
When Ringing/Idle Line Preference is turned on for an MFM and Automatic Line
Selection is set to an outside line/trunk, inside calls cannot be made and features
cannot be used. Both inside and outside calls can be received.
Calls are sent independently to the MLX telephone and its associated MFM. The
following features can be employed when a user wants calls to be received at
both the MLX telephone and the device connected to an MFM:
■ Cover buttons
■ Shared SA buttons
■ Buttons assigned the same outside lines
■ Forward and Follow Me
■ Transfer
An MFM can be assigned as a calling group delay announcement device or as a
calls-in-queue alert for a calling group queue.
Tip/ring devices connected to an MFM should not be used with Call Management
System (CMS).
