CHAPTER 4. USING THE FEATURES

Leave Word Calling

This feature allows the attendant to leave messages for system users. Messages cannot be left for the attendant group or individual attendants. The attendant cannot activate Leave Word Calling via Distributed Communications System connections.

In addition, the attendant may be a systemwide message retriever and can retrieve messages for other system users. (Refer to “Message Retrieval” for the procedures on retrieving messages.) The attendant can retrieve messages, delete messages, and connect the requesting user with the person who left the message.

System users call the attendant when they want their messages retrieved.

A Msg button, also labeled with a name or number, may be assigned to the console so that you can observe the message waiting status of a remote extension number. Such an extension number may be an individual terminal or a hunt group where a single extension number is assigned to all voice terminals.

The attendant can use Leave Word Calling during the call extending procedure. If the called party is busy or does not answer, the attendant can return to the caller, take a message, then activate LWC at the called terminal.

To store a message for a system user after a call extended to the user’s terminal returns busy tone or is unanswered:

1.Press [Start].
