Answering Machine Emulation
Description
A user’s keyset can work like a home answering machine. This lets IntraMail screen their calls, just like their
answering machine at home. If activated, the extension’s incoming calls route to the user’s Subscriber Mail-
box. Once the mailbox answers, the user hears two alert tones followed by the caller’s incoming message.
The keyset user can then:
❥ Let the call go through to their mailbox, or
❥ Intercept the call.
Operation
A keyset on the connected telephone system can work like a home answering machine.
