This guide describes the NVM-Series features and how they integrate with the i-Series, DS1000/2000, Portrait 308/824 and ONYX/DS01 telephone systems. Some of the features in this guide are not applica- ble to all NVM-Series models and to all telephone systems. Refer to the Feature Cross Reference Chart at the back of this guide.
Introducing NVM- Series About Fax Mail The FAX Mail Option lets callers send a FAX message to your mail- box. NVM-Series stores the faxed document as if it were a message, hence the name FAX Message. What’s nice about FAX Mail is that FAX Messages stay private until you are ready to get a printout of them.
And while you are listening to a network message from another Voice Mail system, you can: Record a reply. NVM-Series will deliver your reply to the message sender at the programmed delivery time. Make an immediate call to the message sender. No need to exit your mailbox and make the call.
