Message Waiting Indication
Message Waiting Indication (MWI) is a DPNSS 1 feature for Enterprise Edge Call
Services. Messages are received at a centralised location (a telephone set you pre-
determine), where they are processed and forwarded to the target set. This
centralisation relieves the network processing load, making the system more
efficient. MWI provides users with the ability to scroll through, erase and reply to
messages.
When there are messages to be retrieved, Message for you is displayed at the set.
Once all the messages are retrieved by the user, a Message Waiting Cancellation
(MWC) is sent from the call centre, and the user set no longer displays MWI.
MWI also allows the user to reply or call back to the message centre. Theprocedure
for retrieving messages is described in the Enterprise Edge Feature Programming
Telephone Guide.
This feature is only supported on Enterprise Edge target lines.

Setting Message Waiting Indication
To set Message Waiting Indication, the following conditions must be established:
• Assign message centre to a line.
• Select message centre for use.
• Assign the line to a set to Appear and/or Ring.
Assigning message centres to a line
You need to assign any one of five, or None, of the message centres to the line.
There can be as many as five message centres in a network; that is, five telephone
sets on the Enterprise Edge system can act as mailboxes in the message centres
offeredbyfivedifferentPBXsonthenetwork.ThesePBXsmayalsobefrom
different manufacturers.
Thus, for each message centre there may be different:
• numbers to be dialled to reach the mailbox from the set
• MWI strings received, indicating that the centre has a message in the mailbox
