Description

Auto Answer All is used on analog multiline telephones only, including analog
Direct-Line Consoles (DLCs) with a modem, answering machine, or other
answering device connected through a General Purpose Adapter (GPA) to
answer both inside and outside calls when the user is not available.
To activate Auto Answer All, slide the switch on the GPA to Auto and press the
Auto Answer All button. The green LED next to the button turns on, and incoming
calls are answered automatically.
To deactivate the feature, either slide the switch on the GPA to Basic or press the
Auto Answer All button. If the button is pressed to deactivate the feature, the
green LED next to the button turns off. In either case, the telephone returns to
normal operation.
Auto Answer All can also be used with a headset adapter to allow an analog
multiline telephone user or analog DLC operator with a headset to be connected
automatically to ringing calls. A tone heard through the headset signals an
incoming call.
A programmed button activates and deactivates Auto Answer All. Select the lines
to be answered by the device by programming Immediate Ring or Delay Ring as
the ringing option. Lines that are not to be answered should be programmed as
No Ring.
