# Turn off MWI for Skipped Messages

FCOS bit 302 allows users to skip a new message, have it remain in the unplayed queue and then, if no other unplayed messages exist, have the MWI lamp turn off when they log out. Users are still able to log in at any time and listen to the skipped messages that are marked as unplayed and are announced as such.

This alternate MWI behavior is controlled by FCOS bit 302 (Enable Alternate MWI for Skipped Messages) and can be assigned on a per mailbox basis.

### Conditions

Must have the following feature bits enabled:

- 204 - Message Skip, Forward and Backward

- 145 - Message Stays in Original Queue on Hangup

To enable this feature, customize an FCOS as necessary and apply to the required mailboxes.
