Personal Answering Machine
A personal answering machine is used to answer all the calls that ring at a
certain extension (Figure 4-3). It is useful for the following situations:
When you do not want to dedicate an extension to an answering machine
When the extension receives a lot of intercom calls
When outside calls come through a receptionist and are transferred to the
extension
When an extension has a private line
Figure 4-3. Personal Answering Machine
To Use
Go to the machine to manually retrieve messages.
From any system extension, make an intercom call to the extension.
When the machine answers, dial the message retrieval code.
From outside the system, call in and have someone transfer you to the
extension. When the machine answers, dial the message retrieval code.
Or, call in when no one will answer before the answering machine does.
To Program
1.
Set
Line Ringing
for all lines assigned to extension X to the desired ring
(Immediate, Delayed, or No Ring).
2.
If the lines assigned to extension X are also assigned to other extensions,
adjust the answering machine to answer on the third or fourth ring so that it
does not answer calls before someone else can. (If the answering
machine is to cover transferred calls, make sure the number of rings is less
than the amount of transfer return rings set for the extension. This assures
that the answering machine will pick up transferred calls
before they return
to the transfer return extension.)
If you intercept a call from the answering machine, you will hear a click to
notify you that the answering machine has turned off.
