AT&T 999-507-144 Answering Machine User Manual


 
Once you have assigned lines to a basic telephone, be sure to provide the
person using the telephone with a list of the codes for the lines he or she has
access to.
Basic telephones are able to receive ringing intercom calls, but not intercom
calls with voice announcement. Therefore, you must program the Voice
Announcement Disable feature for the telephone.
In order to program Voice Announcement Disable, Ringing Options, or an
Automatic Line Selection sequence for the basic telephone, the system
administrator can use either the Centralized Programming feature on the
administrator/attendant console or program a substitute MERLIN Plus voice
terminal plugged into the voice terminal jack designated for the OPTI.
