Answering system

Deskset mailbox setup

Deskset mailbox overview

Your deskset has its own mailbox which is different from the general mailbox on the main telephone base. If you turn on the auto attendant on the main telephone base and fast answer mode on the deskset, the caller is able to leave a message on the deskset mailbox after two rings. If you do not turn on the fast answer mode on the deskset, the answering system picks up the call after five rings and allows the caller to leave a message on the deskset mailbox, or call another extension or the operator.

New message indication

When you have new messages in the deskset mailbox, the screen displays

New messages. In addition, the new message indicator flashes.

If the notify alert is turned on (see pages 54-55), you will receive a phone call at the telephone number you chose each time a new message has been recorded.

There is no new message indication on the deskset when messages are left in the general mailbox.

Fast answer mode

You can set the number of times your extension rings before the auto attendant asks the caller to leave you a message or choose another extension. The number of rings can be two (on) or five (off). The default is five rings.
