●If you have a GPA connected to your voice terminal, and you want your answering machine or modem to go on automatically when you receive a call, program an Auto Answer-All button for your voice terminal. When you use the Auto Answer-All feature, the GPA option switch must be set to Auto. (See “Auto Answer-All.”)

You can select the switch position, labeled Join, Basic, or Auto on the adapter, required for operating the telephone or data equipment connected to your voice terminal.
