The following sections describe how to use system messaging features, including:
•
Inter-station messages: Inter-station messages are alerts sent to your telephone by other
internal parties, notifying you to contact the party who left the message. The Message
button and Message Indicator lamp notify you of the new message. You can then either
delete the message or reply to the message, which automatically places a call to the party
who left the message.
•
Do-Not-Disturb (DND) messages: Messages that other internal parties see when your
telephone is in DND. See “Using Do-Not-Disturb” on

Reminder messages: Messages that you can use to notify yourself of upcoming
appointments, meetings, and so on. See “Using Reminder Messages” on

Pages: Announcements sent over phone speakers or external speakers. See “Paging
Other System Users” on
