Automatic System Answer Delay (#110)

This System Programming procedure specifies the number of times (0–9) an incoming call should ring before it is answered by the system.

Related Features

Automatic System Answer affects incoming calls only on lines identified using Automatic System Answer Lines (#204).

You must program a button on the system display phone at extension 10 to turn Automatic System Answer on and off. Use Automatic System Answer Button (#111) to program the button.

You must use Automatic System Answer Record/Playback to record the greeting callers hear when the system answers an incoming call.

Considerations

This feature works independently of Line Ringing, which determines how an outside call rings at the extension—immediately, after a 20 second delay, or not at all. Automatic System Answer Delay specifies the number of rings a caller hears before the system answers the call.

Valid Entries
