Group Calling Feature

Calling Group Options

Message-Waiting Receiver

The message-waiting receiver is the extension designated to receive message-waiting indications for the calling group. This includes message-waiting indications sent from an operator, from a display telephone using Leave Message, or from a fax machine. Any type of telephone with a message LED can be assigned as a message-waiting receiver.

A remote extension cannot provide message-waiting services for a local calling group.

The extension designated as the message-waiting receiver does not have to be a member of the calling group. Each calling group can have only one extension assigned as its message-waiting receiver; the same extension can be assigned as the message-waiting receiver for more than one calling group.

Message-waiting indications cannot be sent to the extension number assigned to the group unless this option is programmed. The message-waiting receiver cannot distinguish between messages left for the calling group and personal messages.
