Use the information in this section to do the following:

■Identify the line/trunk or extension jacks used for auxiliary equipment and applications, for example, a music source for Music On Hold, loudspeaker paging equipment, maintenance alarm (that is, an external alerting device that sounds or flashes when maintenance problems occur), or a fax machine.

■Specify the extensions to receive a message-waiting indication (MWI) when a fax transmission is received, and specify the length of time before the system registers that a fax has arrived and sends the MWI.

■Specify the number of rings before a call transferred by the voice messaging system goes to the backup position for both integrated and generic voice messaging interface (VMI) ports, rather than going to a voice mailbox.

NOTE:

Although a CTI (Computer Telephony Integration) link, Release 5.0 and later systems only, is treated in the system as auxiliary equipment, the

programming of this feature is described later in this chapter in ‘Adding‘ a CTI Link’’ on page 6-88 and ‘‘Removing a CTI Link’’ on page 6-92.

Planning Guidelines 6

For Music On Hold

If you use equipment that rebroadcasts music or other copyrighted materials, you may be required to obtain a copyright license from and pay license fees to a third party [such as the American Society of Composers, Artists, and Producers (ASCAP) or Broadcast Music Incorporated (BMI)]. Magic on Hold requires no such license and can be purchased from your Lucent Technologies representative.

Only one Music On Hold line/trunk jack is allowed per system.

You cannot assign the line/trunk identified for Music On Hold to a line/trunk pool. If the line/trunk is currently assigned to a pool, you must remove it before you program this option.

You cannot assign the line/trunk identified for use with Music On Hold to a button on any telephone or as a Remote Access trunk, and you cannot use the line/trunk jack identified for Music On Hold for a loudspeaker paging system or maintenance alarm.

Because this procedure requires an idle system, you may want to perform it after hours.
