Setting your system to automatically answer calls
An example of a 4-line answering system setup
If you have four phone lines and many extensions, you can set up the auto
attendant to answer up to three simultaneous calls. You can set up the
fourth line to ring as a private direct line to a single extension by excluding
all others in the
Ring group
(page 17).
Line 1: Auto attendant (2 rings)
Line 2: Auto attendant (2 rings)
Line 3: Auto attendant (2 rings)
Line 4: General mailbox (4 rings, all but one extension excluded)

Answering system capacity
You can record up to five new announcements to have different
announcements for each line. Each announcement can be up to two minutes.
Auto attendant and general mailbox announcements both require system
memory to record, so we suggest recording brief announcements in order to
leave more space for messages.
The maximum recording time of all handsets and base is 180 minutes.
The actual recording time depends on individual message characteristics.
Individual messages can be up to three minutes. Messages remain available
for review until you delete them.
If the system memory is full, the screen displays
Message full
, and you
cannot record new messages until old ones have been deleted. Check
remaining system space frequently to maintain availability of space for
incoming messages.
NOTE:
You cannot record an announcement when the telephone system is out of space.
You will hear a
two-beep alert tone
and voice prompt “
Memory is full.
” Pleas
e refer to
Remaining space
on page 34.
