Automatic System Answer Delay
(#110)
Description
This System Programming procedure specifies the number of times (0–9) an
incoming call should ring before it is answered by the Automatic System Answer
feature.
Related Features
■ After a call is answered, Automatic System Answer plays a greeting then
either places the call on hold, provides continuous ringing, or disconnects
the call depending on the setting of Automatic System Answer Mode
(#121).
■ Automatic System Answer affects incoming calls only on lines identified
using Automatic System Answer Lines (#204).
■ You must program a button on the system display phone at extension 10 to
turn Automatic System Answer on and off. Use Automatic System
Answer Button (#111) to program the button.
■ You must use Automatic System Answer Record/Playback to record the
greeting callers hear when the system answers an incoming call.
■ If you use Caller ID, make sure Automatic System Answer Delay is set to 2
rings or more to ensure that Caller ID information is captured.
Considerations
■ The Automatic System/Direct Extension Dial PC card is purchased
separately and must be installed (see
PARTNER PC Card Installation
Instructions
).
■ Use the Automatic System Answer Record/Playback feature to record a
message before using Automatic System Answer since there is no default
message.
■ This feature works independently of Line Ringing, which determines how
an outside call rings at the extension—immediately, after a 20 second
delay, or not at all. Automatic System Answer Delay specifies the number of
rings a caller hears before the system answers the call.
