If a user at an 4406D+, TransTalk 9040, MLS, 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 4412D+, 4424D+, or 4424LD+ telephones nor at MLX and ETR display telephones. When the feature is turned off, the message is cancelled. Posting or canceling the Do Not Disturb message, however, 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.
If a fax message-waiting indication is deleted by one of the four message-waiting receivers, the message is deleted from all MLS display telephones programmed as message-waiting receivers for the fax, but the message is not deleted from 4400-Series, MLX, TransTalk 9040, and ETR display telephones programmed as message-waiting receivers for the fax.
Each Calling Group can have only one extension assigned as its message-waiting receiver, but the same extension can be assigned as the message-waiting receiver for more than one Calling Group.
If a 4400 or single-line telephone user posts a message while active on a call, callers with display telephones see the posted message only after the 4400 or single-line telephone user hangs up from the active call.
When a user posts a nonexistent message, CUSTM MSGnn is displayed, indicating that the System Manager has not programmed a message for this message number.
Only multiline display telephone users see posted messages. Users with single-line telephones or multiline telephones without displays cannot receive messages posted by other users.
If the receiver's message box is full, or if the receiver uses a non-display telephone, the caller hears a beep, indicating that the message has not been left.
Posting a message does not prevent the telephone from ringing.
Message Waiting does not work for off-premises telephones.
Messaging features do not work across a private network. They only work for extensions connected to the same local system.
When you use the Return Call feature for a voice messaging system, a call is returned to the voice messaging system, not to the specific VMI jack that sent the message-waiting code.
For the number of new and old messages to appear on the Home screens of 4400-Series, MLX, and TransTalk 9040 (when connected to TDL ports) display telephones, you must have a MERLIN Messaging System of Release 2.5 or later and a MERLIN MAGIX system of Release 2.0 or later.
If more than one MERLIN Messaging System module is installed in the system, the number of new and old messages applies only for messages from the first MERLIN Messaging System module installed in the control unit.
