Set Line mode
Use this feature to set each of the telephone lines to respond to unanswered
incoming calls in one of the four possible line modes, as shown in the chart below.
Answering system basic setup
Line mode for unanswered calls
Incoming call - the called
line flashes and rings on
every extension

becomes active
Line mode:
No answer
Caller can select an extension, leave a
message in the general mailbox or listen to
the user-recorded directory.
When the auto attendant directs a call to
an extension but it is not answered, the
auto attendant prompts the caller to leave a
message for that extension.
The answering system plays an
announcement only and then the call
is dropped. You can use the default
announcement or record your own
announcement.
The caller is prompted to leave a message
in the general mailbox, which a person at
any deskset or handset can review.
The general mailbox stores incoming
messages, memos and call conversations
(see pages 86-88 for more information).
The system does not respond to the
incoming call. The call rings until the caller
hangs up.
