Auto Attendant: A 1080 telephone in your multi-telephone system is assigned to pick up a ringing line automatically after a selected number of rings. The Auto Attendant plays the selected auto attendant message and redirects the call if the caller enters an extension number. You can assign up to 16 Auto Attendants in your telephone system.

Caller ID: Caller identification is a subscriber service available from most local telephone companies for a fee. When you subscribe to caller identification, you can see who’s calling before you answer the phone if you and the caller

are both in areas offering caller ID service with compatible equipment.

Caller ID with call waiting: This is a single, combined subscriber service which may be available from your local telephone company. If you subscribe to this service, you can use your 1080 telephone to see who’s calling even while you are on another call (as long as your caller is in an area with caller ID service and both telephone companies use compatible equipment).

Central message: When a call is answered by the auto attendant, and a caller presses [9], a central message, one not intended for any particular extension, is created.

Centrex service: This is a special subscriber service which may be available from your local telephone company for a fee. This 1080 telephone can be used with

Centrex service.

called by another name in your area (e.g. call answering).

DSL: Digital subscriber line, (DSL) service is available from your telephone company for a fee. It allows you to receive high-speed internet through your telephone line(s). Some special equipment, splitters and/or filters, are required for the telephone and data service to work properly together.
