Posted Messages
Users can post a message to provide special information to co-workers with display telephones--for example, to tell callers where the person is when not answering the telephone or why the person does not want to be disturbed. When a user with a 4400-Series, MLX, or MLS display telephone calls a co-worker who has a message posted, the posted message is shown on the caller's display (even if the call is answered). Users do not need a display telephone to post a message.

The system can automatically post and remove messages for a non-display telephone only if a Posted Messages button has been programmed for that telephone. |
Users with 4400D telephones can post a message by dialing #751 and the number of the message (see Table 1). To cancel a posted message on a 4400D telephone, dial #*751.
When a user turns on the Do Not Disturb feature, the system automatically posts the message DO NOT DISTURB. Users with 4406D+, ETR, MLS, MLX-10, or MLX-5 nondisplay telephones must program a Posted Message button in order to display the message for callers. This message appears on the Home screen of 4400-Series or MLX display telephone with Do Not Disturb turned on. DO NOT DISTURB also appears on the screen of any 4400-Series, MLX, and MLS telephone that is used to call an extension that has the feature turned on. When you turn off Do Not Disturb, the system automatically removes the message.
You can post or remove a Do Not Disturb message by pressing a programmed Posted Messages button. This, however, does not turn the Do Not Disturb feature on or off.
