Message Retention Time
The amount of time the system will store a message before deleting the message.
Message Retrieval Order
The order in which the subscriber retrieves messages: Last In First Out (LIFO) or First In
First Out (FIFO).
Message Transfer
Allows a subscriber to reroute a message to another mailbox unless the message was
marked "private." Additional comments can be added to this message.
Message Waiting Lamp
Light on proprietary telephones that lights when there are messages in the mailbox.
Message Waiting Notification
The VPS can notify subscribers and the Message Manager when they have received
messages (if authorized by the System Administrator or the System Manager). Notification
methods are: (1) by Message Waiting Lamp, or (2) by telephone, or (3) by beeper.
Multilingual Selection Menu
This menu is recorded by the Message Manager and allows callers to choose the language
they want (System, User 1 or User 2 prompts) when they call the VPS.
Non-Subscriber
A caller to the VPS who does not own a mailbox.
Notification Method
(See Message Waiting Notification.)
Operator
Up to three destinations can be assigned as operators. This is the extension that receives
calls when the calling party is on a rotary phone or dials [0].
Owner's Name
After a subscriber records his name, his name will be announced during transfers, Intercom
Paging, and confirmation of Dialing by Name.
Independent of this recording is registration of name by System Administrator. This allows
callers to dial parties by name (Dialing by Name) rather than by number. For example, a
caller can dial "S-M-I-T" (Smith) rather than Smith's mailbox number, which can be hard
to remember.
