for transferring to the operator.

The voice mail system puts the caller on hold, dials the extension

and then releases the call to the NEC telephone system. The voice

mail system does not check the progress of the call or the status of

the called extension. If the extensio n is busy or not ans wered, the

telephone system determines what happens to the call.

Releasing a call to the operator clears the voice mail system port to

take other calls.

The voice mail system puts the caller on hold and dials the operator.

If the operator answers within the number of rings specified in the

rings field, the voice mail system puts the caller through.
