Correctly setting Line 14 of Application screen Page 2 is vital to light message waiting lamps promptly and call to pagers and extensions.

The voice mail system must have at least one port available for dialing out to light message waiting lamps and deliver messages, but more dial-out ports may be required.

￿Consider the following factors when configuring the port status:

A dial-out port used to call subscribers for message delivery likely is tied up by the subscribers that the voice mail system contacts while the subscribers sign in and check their messages. Any dial-out to activate message waiting lamps must wait for the dial-out port to become free. This may result in a message waiting lamp or pager not being activated until long after a message is received.

If the voice mail system answers calls on a dial-out port, the system ability to dial out can be compromised by incoming call traffic.

A very busy system, lighting dozens of message waiting lamps and notifying dozens of subscribers of their messages every hour, requires two or more dial-out ports.

If the voice mail system has too many dial-out ports dedicated to message waiting lamps or message delivery, there may not be enough free ports to accept incoming calls, causing callers to get a

￿busy signal when they try to leave or retrieve messages.

Setting one port on the system to either A/L or Lamp and setting all other ports to A/M, Msg or Ans guarantees that the voice mail system uses only one port for all message waiting lamp calls.

The port status options that affect message waiting lamps are explained below.

Dial

Dial out only. The port is dedicated to dialing out to deliver messages and to light message waiting lamps. It does not answer incoming

￿calls. Lamp

Lamp only. The port is dedicated to dialing out to light message waiting lamps exclusively. It does not answer incoming calls.
