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
