Answering System
Setting Up and Operating a Telephone as an Auto Attendant
Setting More than One Phone as an Auto Attendant
To set more than one phone as an Auto Attendant:
1Follow the instructions on page 74 for setting the additional phone as an Auto Attendant.
2Follow the instructions on page 77 for setting this phone’s Auto Attendant Pickup Delay, making sure to set it at a longer delay than the primary Auto Attendant.
You may wish to set more than one phone as an Auto Attendant for your system, to act as a back- up for when your primary Auto Attendant is busy answering a call.
If you choose to set one or more additional Auto Attendants for your system, you must be sure to set your primary Auto Attendant with the shortest Auto Attendant Pickup Delay (see page 77). This way it will always be the first one to answer calls. You must then set each subsequent Auto Attendant with a different pickup delay, in the order you choose, to avoid more than one Auto Attendant trying to pick up an incoming call at the same time.
