Call Rings Continuously; When Answered,

No One at Other End

Possible Cause: Automatic System Answer or Direct Extension Dial is used on a system that does not support far end disconnect.

What to do: Call your local phone company and find out whether they support far end disconnect. If the local phone company does not support far end disconnect, you should not set the Automatic System Answer Mode (#121) to either Hold or Ring and you should not use the Direct Extension Dial feature. If the local phone company supports far end disconnect but the problem still occurs, call the hotline.
