Adjusting the Message Waiting Indicator Light

Chapter 2 Customizing Phone Settings

You can change the behavior policy of the message waiting indicator light (or “lamp”) for each line appearance on your Cisco IP Phone. The message waiting indicator is the red strip on your phone’s handset that blinks when you receive an incoming call. In its default state, the message waiting indicator light is usually configured to remain lit when you receive a new voice mail message. However, the default policy is determined by your system administrator.

Follow these steps to specify the message waiting indicator light policy (on, off, or default) for one or more of your phone lines.
