Nortel Networks 3100 manual Using the Mid-Call features

Advanced functions

•Auto Answer Mode (On or Off)—If you turn on both call screening and auto answer, incoming calls on the local device are automatically answered by the native phone. If call screening or auto answer if off, you must answer your calls manually on the native phone. Auto Answer is disabled by default.

If you are operating in call screening mode On, an incoming call notification appears when you receive a new call. Specify whether you want to reject the call, accept the call on your mobile device, or redirect the call to one of your alternate phone numbers. If you select the first option, the call is rejected on the mobile device, but your desktop phone continues to ring. If you select the second option, the call is directed to your mobile device. If you select the third option, the call is directed to one of your alternate phone numbers (for example, home or other1). A brief delay occurs as the system executes the option you selected.

If you direct a call to your mobile device, it is accepted automatically by the native dialer provided that the auto answer feature is enabled. If auto- answer is disabled, you must answer the call manually. The mobile device native dialer appears, which you can use to manage the call in a variety of ways.

WARNING

Never interrupt the automated call answering process.
