About forwarding to DTAD

If at least one 1080 telephone is designated to be used as an auto-attendant (if you have the 1080 us- er's manual, read it for more details), you can desig- nate the auto-attendant telephone as a DTAD (Digital Telephone Answering Device) mailbox for the 1070 or 1040 telephones in the same system.

When the DTAD mailbox is designated, the answer- ing system of the DTAD mailbox 1080 telephone can answer calls transferred by the auto-attendant sys- tem and record caller’s messages for its DTAD system extensions. These messages are called system exten- sion messages. For more details, refer to the 1080 user's manual.

If the DTAD mailbox is designated, a DTAD system extensions will display its messages counter DTAD:XX/YY on its screen. The person on a DTAD system extension 1040 telephone can access the DTAD mailbox 1080 telephone to play back messag- es and record memos (see Listening to messages - internal access on page 44).
