About the auto attendant and message recording
If you want one or more of your 1080 telephones to automatically answer incoming calls for your system, to announce the directory, and to allow your callers to record central system messages, you need to customize AUTO ATT SETUP. See page 46 of the installation guide.
If you want one or more of your 1080 telephones to record messages directed to individual 1070 and 1040 telephones, you need to customize AUTO ATT SETUP and SYS EXT MAILBOX. See pages 45 and 52 of the installation guide
To turn on the system answering features for private messages, to control the answering system functions, and to control the timing, security, and what can happen while messages are being recorded, you need to customize SYS EXT MAILBOX and DTAD SETUP. See pages 52 and 57 of your user’s manual.
Incoming messages
If this 1080 telephone is not set up as an auto attendant, it will store only private messages.
If this 1080 phone is an auto attendant, it can also store three kinds of messages in three separate lists, private messages, central messages or system extension messages.
You must playback or delete each list separately. Play private or central messages by pressing [DTAD] and scrolling to PRIVATE MSGS, or CENTRAL MSGS, pressing [ENTER], and then scrolling to PLAY NEW MSGS or PLAY ALL MSGS, and pressing [ENTER].
