Lights Test
The lights test is used to test the function of message-waiting indicators (usually lights). Depending on the programming of the mailbox being tested, the lights test can also activate pagers and provide stutter dial tone.
To Perform a Lights Test
-
From the Main menu, select (S) System Maintenance, (O)Additional Options, and then (L) Lights Test.
-
At the Mailbox to light (1 - 99999999999) prompt, enter the number of the mailbox associated with the light to be tested OR enter a range of mailboxes to test; separate the first and last mailbox numbers in the series with a hyphen (for example, 100-399).
-
At the Light off/on/existing value (0/1/2) prompt, enter one of the following:
-
Enter 0 (zero) to turn the message waiting indicator(s) OFF
-
Enter 1 to turn the indicator(s) ON
-
Enter 2 to update the indicator(s) to the current correct state(s).
Note: The "correct state" is ON if there is at least one unplayed message in the mailbox, and OFF if no unplayed messages reside in the mailbox. -
-
At the Message waiting type (0 or <CR> for all) prompt, press Enter to test any message waiting type(s) associated with the test mailbox(es) OR enter a number (from 2 through 28) to test a specific message waiting indicator.
-
Check the state of the indicator(s) for proper functioning. To return the indicators to their correct states, repeat Steps 2 through 4 using the same mailbox number(s) and enter 2 at Step 3.
Note: Pagers must be set to OFF before they can be reactivated a second time. -
At the Mailbox to Light (1 - 99999999999) prompt, press Enter to return to the Additional Options Menu.
