■When AUDIX Voice Power sends a Leave Message notification to an
extension, the system identifies the voice mail system as the sender of the
message. When the voice mail subscriber uses the Return Call feature, the
call goes to any available voice mail port, not just to the specific port that
generated the message. This reduces the chance of getting a busy port.
■Coverage receivers can call coverage senders and have the call receive
coverage treatment. If a receiver calls a sender for whom he or she is
covering, and the sender is busy or unavailable, the call proceeds to other
points of coverage. It does not come back to the receiver who originated
the call.
■Enhancements to display prompts include automatic posting of a
message (for MLX display telephones or other multiline
telephones, a Posted Message button must be programmed for the
message to be posted automatically) when a user activates the
Do Not Disturb feature, and confirmation messages when a user activates
Hold, Privacy, Saved Number Dial, and Transfer.
■Direct Inward Dialing (DID) trunk emulation on a T1 facility provides up to
24 DID channels on a single DS1 interface, instead of requiring 24
separate physical trunks.
■A telephone user can send a timed flash (switchhook flash) on a loop-start
trunk call on a System Access (SA) button.
Fax Attendant System™ 1
Fax Attendant is an application for sending and receiving fax messages; its
interface is similar to the voice mail interface provided by AUDIX Voice Power.
Fax Attendant System, which co-resides with AUDIX Voice Power on the IS III
platform, provides the following services:
■Fax Call Coverage. Receives and holds messages for subscribers whose
fax machines are busy or out of paper. This service also allows a
subscriber to have a personal fax number without having a fax machine.
■Fax Mail. Allows subscribers to create and use fax distribution lists, send
and receive fax messages, and record personal greetings for incoming fax
calls.
■Fax Response. Prompts callers to select and receive faxes from a
customer-created menu of choices, using touch-tone responses.
408 GS/LS-MLX Module 1
The 408 GS/LS-MLX module (Releases 2.0 and higher only ) combines four line/
trunk jacks for ground-start or loop-start trunks and eight extension jacks for MLX
telephones on a single module in the control unit.
