Auto attendant operation
Using multiple auto attendants
You may wish to set one or more additional
phones to act as auto attendant(s) when the
primary auto attendant is turned off or busy.
An auto attendant is busy when someone at that
extension is:
• programming the phone, or
• accessing messages, or
• on an intercom call, or
• dialing from the directory or call history, or
• using any of the lines to make or answer a
call, or
• when the DTAD is recording a message at
that extension.
You can choose a particular extension to always
be the primary auto attendant by setting that
extension to have the shortest auto attendant
pickup delay and setting the pickup delays of
other auto attendants in the order you choose.
Otherwise, the primary auto attendant may
change as the system automatically assigns
incoming calls among active auto attendants.
