							7.10 Using The IMIST Module
Impact SCS8212S and 8212N telephones equipped with the optional
IMIST module can support an IST device (modem, FAX machine,
industry-standard telephone, etc.) in addition to the telephone.
Depending on system programming, you can use the IST device to make
outgoing calls and receive incoming calls.
The functionality of the IMIST module depends on the type of system
you are using and the type of digital station board and memory board
your system has. (See your installer for complete details.)
•The IMIST module will function on a DXP system with the
appropriate digital station board, but the IMIST module will not have
its own extension number and will not function simultaneously with
the speakerphone.
•On a DXPPlussystem, the IMIST module will function
simultaneously with the speakerphone and have its own extension
number if your system has the appropriate digital station board and
memory board. If your system does not have the optional enhanced
memory board, the IMIST module will function like the one on the
DXP system described above.
•On an FX Series system, the speakerphone and IMIST module can
function simultaneously and the IMIST module has its own
extension number.
NOTE: The IMIST module does not provide voltage to light a message
waiting light. Message waiting lights on devices plugged into
the IMIST module will not function
If you have any other questions about IST devices, refer to GCA70–237,
Industry-Standard Telephone Station User’s Guide.
NOTE: The IMIST module has a separate power supply. The wall
transformer is a UL and CSA approved Class 2 device operating from
120 Vac, 60 Hz, 16 watts and provides an output of 24 Vac at 450 mA.
For replacement, order Comdial P/N DIU-PTR.

							Sending And Receiving
Non-Verbal Messages
8.1 Using The Messaging Feature
If the system installer designates your speakerphone as a central message
desk or programs it to have message-wait originate ability, you can turn
on the message-waiting light of any other telephone. This light lets that
telephone user know that you have a message for him or her. In addition
to the message waiting light, leaving a message indication at a station
also causes the dial tone at that station to sound in a broken manner when
the station user takes his or her telephone off-hook.
The message-waiting light is located in different places on the various
model telephones. On the 8124S and 8112S telephones, the message
waiting light is located above the HOLD button. On the 8112N
telephone, the message waiting light is located above the dial pad. The
8212S and 8212N telephones have a dedicated message waiting key and
light, labeled MESSAGE. For more information on button locations, see
Chapter 1.
If your telephone receives a message and has a DSS button that is
programmed to call the station that left the message, the light next to that
station’s DSS button on your telephone will flash.
