Preliminary
Answering a Call
Tel-Lynx
can be set to operate in one of four global answer modes:
Ring-through mode
,
Personal Assistant mode I
(default out of the box),
Personal Assistant mode II
, and
Personal Assistant mode III
.
The
global answering mode
is applied to all outside lines, however, each outside
line can be
individually set to answer in Ring-through mode
regardless of the
global answering mode.
In
Ring-through
mode
, your calls are not screened like they are in the Personal
Assistant modes. Your home telephone rings as soon as an incoming call is
received, if the call is
allowed
by the Do-Not-Disturb setting. This is useful if you
are waiting for an emergency return call or for an automated return call from your
bank or other institution. You can set Ring-through mode on a permanent or
temporary basis. You can also set Ring-through mode on a
line-by-line basis
.
In
Personal Assistant modes I, II, and III
,
Tel-Lynx
checks to see if the call is
allowed
by the Do-Not-Disturb setting and then answers and screens each call.
Calls from your personal phone book contacts are allowed right through;
otherwise,
Tel-Lynx
’s patented process qualifies new callers. Personal Assistant
mode I
allows qualified new callers to ring your telephones;
mode II
sends all
qualified new callers to voice mail; and
mode III
sends all qualified new callers to
voice mail
and
requires the
secret code
to access the messages. The Personal
Assistant modes eliminate calls from automated calling machines used by sales
and political advertisers, and they allow you to control which calls you get and
when.
Answering in Ring-through Mode
In Ring-through mode,
Tel-Lynx
checks an incoming call’s contact type against
the
Do-Not-Disturb override timer
and the
Do-Not-Disturb schedule
to decide if
the call should be allowed through. If the incoming call's phone number is not in
Tel-Lynx
's phone book, the contact is considered a
normal contact
type. If it is
allowed,
Tel-Lynx
rings the inside line and does not answer or screen it. When
you answer,
Tel-Lynx
instantly connects you to the caller. If you hang up within
one second after answering, or if you do not answer after a preset number of
rings,
Tel-Lynx
sends the call to its voice mail.
If you dial 911,
Tel-Lynx
automatically goes into Ring-through mode and
overrides the Do-Not-Disturb schedule so that all calls come directly through for
the next hour.
