MCI Service Conditions
1. The UCD or Station Hunting feature is usually provided with the VMS station.
2. One RS-232C port on the MP card or the Application Processor (AP00) is required to make a data
link with a customer supplied VMS.
3. Messages can be retrieved from any Multiline Terminal, DTMF telephone, or the Attendant
Console, but not from DP telephones.
4. The MCI is available to a direct call or a forwarded call from a station/trunk/Attendant to the VMS.
For details of the connecting patterns, refer to the Installation Procedure Manual/Feature
Programming Manual.
5. Stations can set Call Forwarding or Split Call Forwarding - All Calls, No Answer, and Busy Line to
the VMS. The system sends out incoming call information to the VMS. A call to a station that has
Call Forwarding set to the VMS is automatically answered by the VMS.
6. The MCI can control the LCD display of a Multiline Terminal for “MESSAGE” Indication. The
number of messages is not displayed.
7. When the Message Waiting lamp control is activated with the MCI, the lamp control from the
following equipment will not be provided:
From the Property Management System (PMS)
From the Station (by dialing the access code)
From the Direct Station Selection (DSS) Console
From the Hotel/Motel Attendant Console
From the Hotel/Motel Front Desk Instrument
From the Attendant Console
8. Only one system should be programmed (via system programming) to control Message Waiting
lamps through the CCIS network.
9. The system controls Message Waiting lamps normally when the time interval between messages is
a minimum of 350 msec. or more.
10. When the VMS interface line does not answer, all of the messages are sent out from the I/O port of
the MP/AP00.
11. If the VMS is not ready for information receiving (Busy Status), the AP00 can temporarily store up to
16 call records in its internal memory. If the maximum of 16 call records is stored and a 17th is
generated, the system will write over the oldest stored record.
12. When the RS port on the MP card is used for the data link to the VMS, the MP can store up to 15
call records. If a 16th call record is generated when the MP stores 15 call records, the system will
write over the oldest stored record.
13. The Voice Mail Integration (In band) feature can be combined with voice mail through the MCI in the
system. The Voice Mail Integration (In band) feature and MCI feature can coexist in one system
and either can be selected per VMS (VMS station number) by system programming.
14. When terminating a call with the ANI information to the VMS through the MCI, the system can send
the ANI information to the VMS, if required. This is not available through CCIS interface.
