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].
