Answering a call using Trunk Answer

Press ƒ°‚‚.

Tip - If there is more than one incoming call on lines in a Ringing Service, the Trunk Answer feature picks up the external call that has been ringing the longest.

Displays

Line denied

Pickup denied

You have tried to pick up a call on someone else’s private line.

The call that is ringing is on a line that is not in a Ringing Service.

Answer buttons

You can use an Answer button to monitor calls on another person’s telephone. All calls to the monitored Norstar telephone appear on the Answer button.

Answer buttons are useful for attendants who monitor incoming calls for one or several other people. For example, a secretary may have appearances for three different bosses on her answer buttons. Once a call for boss A is answered by the secretary, the appearance stops at that boss’ set. This allows for another (simultaneous) call to come in on the same line. The same is true for boss B and boss C. When incoming call traffic becomes high, the calls can then be routed to a Hunt Group to optimize call handling. For more information on Hunt Groups see “Programming Hunt Groups” on page 135.

The Answer button setting in Featr settings programming allows you to determine what types of calls alert at the telephone. Your choices are: Basic, Enhanced and Extended.
