You may turn your answering system ON or OFF at this telephone, or you may set this phone as an Auto Attendant for the system.
OFF: Use this setting at any phone that you want its answering system to be completely off. This telephone’s answering system will not answer any incoming calls, or calls that are transferred to it from other extensions in the system.
ON: If you are NOT setting another phone as an Auto Attendant for your system, you would set this phone to ON if you would like it to act as a regular answering machine. In this case it would answer both incoming calls and calls transferred to it from other extensions in the system.
If you ARE setting another phone as an Auto Attendant for your system, you would still set this phone to ON if you want it to answer calls trans- ferred to it from other extensions, as well as incoming calls on any private lines.
AA: Only use this setting if you are setting this phone as the Auto Attendant for your system (See Setting Up and Operating a Telephone as an Auto Attendant, page 72).
