Configuring Message Waiting

To configure message waiting for use with voice-messaging systems, use the following procedure.

Procedure

---

Step 1 Choose Feature > Voice Mail > Message Waiting.

Step 2 In the upper, right corner of the window, click the Add a New Message Waiting Number link.

The Message Waiting Number Configuration window displays.

Step 3 Enter the appropriate settings as described in Table 40-1.

---

Note The voice-messaging system only uses the message-waiting on/off directory number to turn on the message-waiting indicator. Because Cisco CallManager does not use the Message Waiting on/off number for receiving calls, the Display, Forward All, Forward Busy, and Forward No Answer fields do not get used.
