If a Device Has Trouble
9
If a device has trouble answering calls or dialing out, use two System Programming features to
adjust the system settings for auxiliary equipment installed at an extension. If a device (such as an
answering machine) does not pick up transferred or intercom calls, use Distinctive Ring (#308) to
change the ringing, so that all calls ring like outside calls at that extension. If an autodialing device
(such as a modem) has trouble autodialing, use Intercom Dial Tone (#309) to change the
intercom dial tone for the extension to Machine (outside line) dial tone.
Answering Machines
9
Use an answering machine to answer calls when no one can get to the telephone. If you have an
answering machine with the Call Intercept feature, you can pick up a call that has been answered
by the answering machine by joining the call from any system telephone. When you do so, the
system sends the answering machine a signal that makes it hang up.
You can connect answering machines to your system in the following ways:
■
System answering machine. One or more answering machines can cover all the lines in the
system. Anyone on the system can call the machine(s) to retrieve messages.
■
Personal answering machine. An answering machine can share an extension with a
telephone to answer calls to that extension.
If you have an answering machine and a system telephone on the same extension,
the answering machine can answer calls only when the telephone is idle.
