button when creating it.

5.Listening to Recorded Messages

After the VPS records a message, it will light the appropriate lamp or button on the extension for which the message was intended, to indicate that there is a new message ( 1.17.1 Message Waiting). The proprietary telephone (PT) user can play the message back simply by pressing the MESSAGE button used for mailbox access; he or she does not need to enter a mailbox number. A single line telephone (SLT) user hears a special dial tone (dial tone 3) when going off-hook if there are any messages in his or her mailbox, and can play the message back by entering the Message Waiting Answer feature number.

6.Live Call Screening (LCS)

Similar to a conventional home answering machine, LCS allows a PT user to monitor his or her own mailbox as a caller is leaving a message and, if desired, answer the call simply by pressing the LCS button.

PT users can choose one of 2 ways to perform LCS, through personal programming (Live Call Screening [LCS] Mode Set):

Hands-free mode: The user can screen calls automatically through the built-in speaker.

Private mode: The user will hear an alert tone when a message is being recorded in his or her mailbox. To screen calls, the user must press the MONITOR, SP-PHONE, or LCS button.

LCS/LCS Cancel Button

A flexible CO/DSS button can be customised as an LCS or LCS Cancel button.

7.2-way Recording into the VPS

PT users can record their own telephone conversations. These recordings can be stored in the PT user's own mailbox (2-way Record) or in another user's mailbox (2-way Transfer), depending on which button the user presses to begin recording.

2-way Record/2-way Transfer Button

A flexible CO/DSS button can be customised as a 2-way Record or 2-way Transfer button.

Note

You should inform the other party that the conversation will be recorded before beginning to record any telephone conversation.

Conditions

[General]

•A VPS can be assigned as the destination for the following features:

–FWD—All Calls

–FWD—Busy/No Answer

–DISA Intercept Routing—No Answer (IRNA)

For these features, the caller does not need to know the mailbox number of the called extension because the code is automatically transmitted to the VPS. If a DISA call is forwarded to the VPS by the IRNA feature from a DISA ring group, the PBX will send the VPS the mailbox number of the extension within the DISA ring group that is connected to the lowest-numbered jack.

[Live Call Screening (LCS)]

•To prevent the unauthorised screening of calls, a 3-digit password must be entered when activating LCS for an extension. If the user forgets his or her password, it can be cleared by the operator or manager (LCS Password Control).
