When an extension is enabled to have the Exclusive Answering Machine privilege, the next
numerical extension will be used as the Answering Machine extension. For example, if physical
extension #05 is enabled for this feature, calls directed to extension #05 will ring at extension
#06 if extension #05 is busy or does not answer. If extension #06 (the answering machine) also
happened to be busy, the IPS would look for an available Rollover Extension. Please note that
calls may not be forwarded from the answering machine extension (in this case extension #06) to
a different extension.
In order to use this feature, the System Manager must correctly assign the extensions such that a
person’s answering machine is assigned to be the extension immediately after that person’s phone
extension.
Some answering machines will not respond to an incoming ring if the length of the ringing signal
is too short. Therefore, it is advisable to set the distinctive ringing feature for the answering
machine extension to have the IPS give the longest possible ringing signal. This can be done by
attaching a single-line telephone to the answering machine extension and dialing “4711” at the
IPS dial tone.
Rollover Of Intercom Calls
You can specify when and how the Rollover Extension are to be used. In most installations, the
Rollover Extension are used to take outside calls which are not answered by the desired extension.
If this parameter is set, the IPS will also cause unanswered intercom calls to be directed to the
Rollover Extensions. This will occur if an intercom call is made to (1) an extension which is in
the Do Not Disturb mode, (2) an extension connected to an ordinary phone which is busy, (3)
an extension which does not answer after 20 seconds, or (4) an extension connected to a key
telephone which is busy and does not answer the intercom call with 20 seconds.
For unanswered intercom calls to transfer to a Rollover Extension:
In the programming mode, lift the handset and enter “7803”.

For unanswered intercom calls to continue ringing at the dialed extension:
