Matrix PRASAR UCS System Manual 1205
Sending Messages
What’s this?
The VMS enables extension users to send messages to other extensions that have a mailbox. An extension user
can send a message to as many as 10 destinations at a time. The extension user can send the message either to a
specific mailbox or to a Distribution List.
VMS also gives facility to the Sender of the message to request a read receipt of the message sent. When the
Recipient has read the message, the VMS generates a file containing the first 5 seconds of the message that was
sent and delivers it to the Sender's mailbox in the form of a new message with the Date and Time stamp and the
prompt: "This message was read by <Extension Name> <5 seconds of message sent>". If the Sender does not
request ‘read receipt’, no such message is delivered to the Sender.
