To respond to an Auto Answered Intercom call:
After the call rings for the amount of time specified in the Auto Answer Delay (See
“Intercom Auto Answer” on page 76)
, a two-second notification screen appears, and you
hear a warning tone. Speak after the tone.
If you do not want the Deskset to automatically answer the call, press
CANCEL
or
while the call is ringing to send the call to the Intercom Call Forward–No
Answer target. See
“Call Forward–No Answer” on page 28
.
If there are multiple incoming Intercom calls, Auto Answer applies to the first call.
Call Forward–No Answer
Call Forward–No Answer is a setting that redirects incoming calls. The Syn248 system
has two types of Call Forward–No Answer settings.
Phone Line Call Forward–No Answer
can only be set by the system administrator.
This setting determines the destination for unanswered calls on each line. After a call is
forwarded, the call cannot be answered at the Deskset. Calls can be forwarded to:
an extension
an extension’s voicemail (without ringing the Deskset)
an external phone number
Auto Attendant (default destination). See
“About the Auto Attendant” on
page 29
.
Intercom Auto Answering applies only to direct Deskset-to-Deskset calls. Auto
Answering does not apply to forwarded calls that use your Intercom line(s).
