Direct answering machine operation
Your ISDN telephone 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 (using the menu) or by remote control (internal or
external call to the answering machine, see user guide for base station).
Which answering machine you can operate directly using your handset depends on the
assignment of the receive MSNs:
Answering machines are not assigned an MSN (factory default):
◆
AM1 answers all calls.
◆
Each answering machine can be set, operated and played back from any 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 subscribers.
The date and time of arrival of each message is logged if you have previously activated
this function (page 85).
You can hide answering machines you do not wish to use, see page 74.
