Automatic System Answer Mode (#121)

Description

This System Programming procedure determines how the system handles Automatic System Answer calls after the greeting plays. There are three available modes:

Hold: places the call on hold at extension 10 (the light next to the line button winks green at extension 10 and winks red at all other extensions that have the line); the outside caller hears Music-On-Hold, if it is available.

Ring: continues to ring and the green light next to the line button continues to flash at all extensions that have access to the line; the outside caller hears Music-On-Hold, if it is available.

Disconnect: ends the call immediately after the Automatic System Answer greeting plays.

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.

Calls that ring on lines programmed with Automatic System Answer are picked up after two rings, as a default. To change the number of rings, use Automatic System Answer Delay (#110).

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

For callers to hear Music-On-Hold, Music-On-Hold (#602) must be Active and an audio source must be connected to the primary processor module.

Automatic System Answer Mode should not be set to Hold or Ring if the disconnect signal from the local telephone company is not recognized by Hold Disconnect Time (#203).

Considerations

The Automatic System/Direct Extension Dial PC card is purchased separately and must be installed (see PARTNER PC Card Installation Instructions).

Use the Automatic System Answer Record/Playback feature to record a message before using Automatic System Answer since there is no default message.
