Operating the answering machine directly
The ISDN phone has three answering machines (AM1, AM2, AM3), each of which you
can operate and set independently. You can operate the answering machines either
directly via a registered handset (via the menu) or by remote control (internal or exter-
nal call to the answering machine, see operating instructions for the base).
Which answering machine you can operate directly using your handset depends on the
assignment of the receive MSNs:
There is no MSN assigned to the answering machines (factory setting):
◆
AM1 answers all calls.
◆
Each answering machine can be set, operated and played back from each handset/
terminal.
One or more MSNs are assigned to each answering machine:
Each answering machine can only be set and played back using handsets/terminals with
the same receive MSN.
Exception: If a receive MSN is assigned exclusively to one answering machine, and not
to any other handset/terminal, then this answering machine can be operated by all
internal users.
The date and time of arrival of each message is logged if you have previously set this
function (page 74).
You can hide answering machines that you do not wish to use (page 63).
