2.Select Auto-Answer Point to Point to set the answer mode for calls with one site, or select Auto-Answer Multipoint (VSX 3000, VSX 3000A, VSX 7000, VSX 7000s, VSX 7000e, and VSX 8000 only) to set the mode for calls with two or more other sites.

If you have a VSX 3000 or VSX 3000A system that you are using as your computer monitor, Polycom recommends that you set up the system so that you have to answer calls manually. If you receive a call while using the system as a computer, you hear a ringing sound and you can switch to video to answer the call manually. Alternatively, you can ignore the call
