Message Notification
Message notification allows you to leave the office and have the system notify you when you
receive messages. The system will call you at a telephone number or pager number. You can
also use notification to alert you to messages if your telephone does not have a message light.
With Message Notification, you can:
• Specify when notification should take place: when the business is open, closed, always, or
never.
• Indicate that you want notification only for urgent messages.
If your Administrator has given you the ability to specify your own mailbox type and number,
you can:
• Enter a notification type: internal extension number, external number, message pager,
tone-only pager, or digital pager.
• Enter an extension number or telephone number at which to be notified.
If you have not been given the ability to specify your own mailbox type and number, the
Administrator must program the notification type and number for you.
If your notification number is a telephone number: The system calls that number at 15
minute intervals (twice if there is no answer, three times if the number is busy). If you do not
call in and check your mailbox by the second time (third if busy), the system will not call again,
even if it receives new messages. However, your telephone's message waiting indicator will
be on until the message is checked.
If your notification number is a pager: The system calls only once for each new message
that it receives.
