Await Answer
Await-Ans is used when the operator does not answer calls . If the
operator does not answer a call routed through the voice mail syst em
after the designated number of rings, the voice mail system plays the
Operator Box greeting and performs the designated action. Set the
number of rings the system should wait to 7 or 8 rings.
Wait for Ringback
For Wait-Ring, the voice mail system puts the c aller on hold and dials
the operator extension. If the extension rings the number of tim es
specified in the Rings field, the voice mail system releases the call to
the NEC telephone system.
If the operator extension answers while the voice mail system is
counting rings, the voice mail system puts the call through. If the
extension is busy, the voice mail system plays the Operator Box
greeting and takes the s pecified action.
