Check that MB 3-15 [Automatic Answer yes/no]is set to no for each trunk

Thanks jvan. They were on yes, I changed to "no", but did not help. I'm wondering if it's one of the setting in 1-67 that IPKII provided. He was dead on. Those setting brought everything to life. But I had not mentioned earlier that I was using the VM only application, and not the Auto Attendant.

Try setting
MB 1-38 to no
MB 1-39 to no
MB 1-40 to no

Nope, no luck. Do you think the VRS setting's (above) also effect the VM settings?

I got it. A Dumb error. It was 4-15 CO/PBS ring assignment. Those trunks were assigned to ring at the VM ports along with the other extensions. I changed the 2 VM ports to be blank, and it seems to be fine.

Last issue (I think). I cannot get the VM waiting lights to go on or off on the Pro Level 1 sets. I have made the following setting:
1-67 #10 = default 641
#11 = default 64*

In the Lingo, I have options # 330 & 331 to match above.

Thanks very much

I'd tried everything and cannot get these MW lamps working. I have a question. On 1-67 the default access codes for MWI set is 641
The default for MWI()cancel) is 64*

Do these codes need the ext code or a pause after the default? i.e. 641X 64*X
or 641pause X 64* pause X

Try this command manually and you will see what is supposed to be. I am pretty sure the ext. # has to follow otherwise how your Notification port will know what ext. is required MW light.

How do I try the command manually. When I plug a SLT directly into the VM port, I don't get any sound or dialing capability. Evrything else is working fine, except these MW lamps.

I did notice one thing strange. In the manual on 1-67 VM Access Code Assignment, my phone shows differnt options for 10 & 11 than the ones shown in the manual.

1-67

# 10 manual= Message Wait Indication(set)
# 10 on phone= CBR
setting: 641

#11 manual= Message Wait Indication(cancel)
#11 on phone= NM
setting: 64*

Make sure those codes did not get changed in the Lingo. They should be 641 & 64*.
