Use call holding?
This feature allows you to queu e up severa l callers wh o are wait ing
for a busy extension to become free. The voice mail system
periodically tells callers their position in t he queue, a nd allows them
to hold, transfer to another extension or leave a message.
The system provides two types of call holding. You can set the
system either to allow outside callers to press 1 or to say
“Yes”
to
hold. With the first type, outside callers must have a touchtone
telephone. With the second type, out side callers do not need a
touchtone telephone. The system uses the system voice detect
feature.
Call holding is available with Awa it Answer and Wait for R ingback
call transfer. Call holding is not available with Re lease call transfer.
On the worksheet, select Yes if callers should press a touchtone to
hold. Select Vox if callers should say
“Yes”
to hold. Select No if call
holding should be turned off for subscrib ers by default.
Message Notification
When a subscriber or guest has messages pending, the voice mail system
can light a message waiting lamp t o notify the subscribe r. This feature,
called message notification, is availab le with your NEC telephone system.

Activate message waiting lamps f or new messages?

Select whether or not you are using messag e waiting l amps. The v oice
mail system supports message waiting lamps automatically on all NEC
telephone systems. Select Yes to use message waiting lamps to notify
subscribers with pending mess ages. Message waiting lamps should be
used when they are available.
Message Delivery
The voice mail system can notify subscribers for pending messages. For
example, when a message comes in, the voice mail system can dial the
subscriber extension number, wait for an answer, and then say:
"This is the voice mail system calling with a message for <subscriber
name>. Please enter your Personal ID now to receive the message.”
If the subscriber enters the correct Person al ID (and security code, if
applicable), the voice mail system proceeds with the conversation in the
same way that it does when the subscriber ca lls the voice mail system
directly.
