of 0 seconds, and no start or end time.

DayTime Answer Delay
: Enter the number of seconds that the Auto Attendant waits
before answering a call. This setting is useful when the Auto Attendant is used as a
backup tool for a live answerer. For example, assume that the Contact List includes
both the receptionist and the Auto Attendant. You might set the Answer Delay to 12
seconds. If the receptionist does not answer within that time, then the Auto
Attendant answers the call.
