Mitel 5540 IP Console - User Guide

Setting and Canceling Message Waiting on an Extension

If an extension is busy or the user does not answer, you can send a notice to let the user know a message is waiting at the console. You can also cancel messages you left at an extension.

To set or cancel Message Waiting on a ringing or busy extension:

1.Press [Msg Waiting] to set Message Waiting or [Clear Msg] to clear it.

“MSW” appears next to the extension information on the display to indicate that Message Waiting is set.

2. Press Release.

Overriding Busy or Do Not Disturb

The Override feature allows you to intrude into a busy extension or an extension with Do Not Disturb (DND) active.

To use Override:

1.Press and hold [Override].

If you are overriding a busy extension, both parties hear a long beep, and then you enter the conversation. You will remain connected to the conversation until you release the [Override] softkey.

If you are overriding an extension with DND active, you will hear ringing.

2.Press Cancel or Release to disconnect the console from the busy extension.

If the busy extension hangs up while you are pressing [Override], you will hear fast busy tone and the display will show “Hung Up” instead of “Busy.”

You can redial the last manually dialed number (internal or external) by pressing a single key.

To redial the last number:
