This section describes the following system messaging features:
• Inter-station messages: Inter-station messages are alerts sent to your telephone by other
internal parties, notifying you to contact the party who left the message. The
(Message) button and Message/Ring Indicator flash to notify you of the new
message. You can then either delete the message or reply to the message, which
automatically places a call to the party who left the message.
• Do-Not-Disturb (DND) messages: Messages that other internal parties see when your
telephone is in DND. See “Using Do-Not-Disturb (DND)” on page 45.
• Reminder Messages: Messages that you can use to notify yourself of upcoming
appointments, meetings, and so on. See “Using Reminder Messages” on page 46.
• Pages: Announcements sent over telephone speakers or external speakers. See “Paging
Other System Users” on page 47.
• Voice messages: System voice mail messages.
