Set Up and Operation Guide

Setting up an Automated Attendant

Overview

The Automated Attendant provides a convenient means of answering your 
company’s incoming telephone lines with a prerecorded greeting selected from the 
Greeting Table, according to the time of day.

You can record and assign different greetings to the Greeting Table. You can also 
specify which greeting will play for particular lines. For example, you can program 
the system so that callers will hear one greeting when they call the sales line, and a 
different greeting when they call the customer support line.

After the greeting, the Automated Attendant Menu offers callers a range of options 
that they can select using the dialpad of their telephone. You can also customize this 
menu to provide a different selection of options for callers.

If you want to offer a greater range of options and services for incoming calls, a 
Custom Call Routing (CCR) menu can be assigned to play instead of the Automated 
Attendant Menu. See Section IV for information on creating a CCR menu.
