AT&T 1987 AT&T Telephone User Manual


 
STATION-TO-STATION MESSAGE WAITING
Description
Allows a multiline voice terminal to turn On a Message Waiting LED located on another
multiline voice terminal by assigning a MSG WAIT button on each terminal.
Pressing MSG WAIT causes the LED on the signaling and signaled terminals to light. This
feature allows a user to inform another user that they have a message for them. Of course,
other arrangements can be made as to the meaning of the signal.
A subsequent MSG WAIT press (at either terminal) turns Off both LEDs.
No talking path is associated with this feature.
Considerations
This feature is functionally similar but separate from the Call Coverage Message Waiting
and Attendant Message Waiting features.
Note that this feature does not light the Message
LED; the status LED next to the assigned MSG WAIT button is lighted.
Interactions
None
Administration Requirements
Voice Terminal (Station Port):
Assign MSG WAIT on both multiline stations.
Note: The MSG WAIT button must always be assigned to
pairs of stations, and
works just between the two stations.
If station “A” wants to signal stations “B” and
“C”, station “A” needs a separate MSG WAIT button for each.
Hardware Requirements
None
