Changing call screening options
When available, the system can use a
variety of call screening options.* You
can select these options on the Transfer/
Screening screen of the Mailbox Man-
ager.
These options are not available by
phone. If your system manager has set
up call screening for your extension, you
can only turn call screening on and off
by phone.
What you hear when you pick up the
phone depends on which of the follow-
ing options you have selected.
Announce before connecting caller
The system plays a beep before trans-
ferring the call.
Screen Name The system asks the
caller’s name before ringing your
extension. The system plays “Call
from <caller’s name spoken by the
caller>” before transferring the call.
Ask me if I want to take the call The
system says “Enter 1 to take the call,
or 2 and I’ll take a message” and then
waits for a response from you before
transferring the call.
Remember Screen Name The sys-
tems asks and plays the caller’s name
as above, and if the caller leaves a
message, will append the caller’s
name to the beginning of the mes-
sage.
Tell me who the call is for The sys-
tem says, “Call for <your name>”
before transferring the call.
Two or more of these options may be
combined. For example, if you select
“Screen name” and “Ask me if I want to
take the call,” the system asks the caller’s
name, then rings your extension. When
you answer the call, the system plays the
caller’s recorded name, then asks if you
want to take the call.
