3.1 In the Office - Receiving Calls with or without the
Auto Attendant
The Auto Attendant functions automatically. Once it has been configured and its
messages have been recorded, that's it! The Auto Attendant takes care of the rest. It
will follow whatever instructions (configuration) it was given.
If you choose not to use the Auto Attendant to answer calls, please note that the Call
Cascade options for the Local Extensions will not be engaged. In order for any Call
Cascade sequence to work, the Auto Attendant must first answer the call.
If you subscribe to
Caller ID service, you may want to set the Auto Attendant to answer
after at least 1 ring to give TalkSwitch a chance to capture the Caller ID information.

In the Office -
Making and Receiving Calls
3.2.1 Making calls from a Local Extension
Placing Intercom calls from one Local Extension to another Local Extension,
Remote Extension or Extension Ring Group:
You can place intercom calls from one Local Extension to another Local
Extension, Remote Extension or Extension Ring Group by simply picking up the
extension's handset and dialing the number of the extension with which you
wish to intercom. An Intercom call can be identified by a unique ring cadence (2
short rings) except in the case of a Remote Extension Intercom call where the
phone will ring as usual or if a Ring Group has selected a different ring cadence
other than 'normal'.
