Other Telephones 29
An MFM can be installed only in MLX telephones; it cannot be used with analog
multiline telephones.
An MFM cannot be used with a digital communications device or
videoconferencing system.
Single-Line Telephones 29
A single-line telephone or other type of tip/ring device up to 1,000 feet away can
be connected to an MFM and used to make and receive inside and outside calls.
A single-line telephone connected to an MFM cannot use the Pickup, Conference,
Hold, HotLine, or Transfer features.
Feature Interactions 29
Automatic Line
Selection
When an MFM is installed in an MLX telephone, the ALS sequence for
the MFM should be set to select SA Ring or ICOM Ring, then SA
Originate Only or ICOM Originate Only, then outside lines (or the prime
line in Behind Switch mode) assigned to the MFM. Ringing/Idle Line
Preference should be on for an MFM.
Callback Both Automatic and Selective Callback can be used from an MFM.
However, a callback call cannot be manually canceled because the MFM
does not recognize the switchhook flash produced by pressing the Drop
button.
Conference The Conference feature cannot be used on the MFM because the system
ignores the switchhook flash sent by the MFM.
Coverage When an MFM 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, or Group Cover button. Coverage and
Forward and Follow Me should not be used simultaneously.
Digital Data Calls An MLX telephone at a digital data workstation must not include an MFM.
Do Not Disturb Do Not Disturb is not recommended because the device connected to the
MFM does not have an LED to indicate when the feature is active.
Fax Extension A single-line telephone with a Message LED that is connected to an MFM
can receive message-waiting indications but not stutter dial tone.
Forward and
Follow Me
An MLX telephone user can activate Forward and Follow Me to redirect
incoming calls to an MFM device. However, Coverage should not be used
simultaneously with Forward and Follow Me.
Group Calling An MFM can be assigned as a calling group delay announcement device
or as a calls-in-queue alert for a calling group queue.
Hold A single-line telephone connected to an MFM cannot put a call on hold
because the MFM cannot send a switchhook flash.
