40CHAPTER 5: STANDARD FEATURES
Answering a Call To answer an incoming call, pick up the handset or, if you are using an NBX Business Telephone, press the Speaker button.
The display panel on an NBX Telephone shows the name and extension of an internal caller. If your organization purchases Caller ID service from your telephone company and if the external caller allows Caller ID information to be broadcast, the display panel shows the external caller’s name and telephone number.
An unanswered call on any telephone on the NBX system is forwarded to the point that you specify in NBX NetSet > User Information > Call Forward. To specify the number of times that your telephone rings before the call is forwarded or to specify where you want the call to go, see “Setting Your Call Coverage Point” later in this chapter.
