Setting the Call Answering Mode

You can choose to answer calls automatically or manually, or you can set the system to automatically refuse any incoming calls.

To set the call answering mode:

1.Go to System > Admin Settings > General Settings > System Settings > Call Settings.

2.Select Auto-Answer Point to Point.

3.Select one of the following:

•Yes – Answers calls automatically.

•No – Enables you to answer calls manually.

•Do Not Disturb – Refuses incoming calls automatically. The caller receives a message that the site is unavailable.

Automatically answering calls is convenient, but keep in mind that an unexpected caller could interrupt you or see and hear you without your knowledge. If you still want to automatically answer calls but you want to prevent incoming callers from seeing and hearing you, you can choose to mute all automatically answered calls and make sure your lens cover is closed.
