AUTO ATTENDANT
The auto attendant will answer and process incoming calls without human inter-
vention. The caller is answered and hears a message prompting him/her to dial
numbers to reach extensions in the phone system or follow other options provid-
ed by the AA card.
Your installation and service company has already designed and programmed
these options for you, including the greetings and messages that play at different
times while the call is being processed.
The only administration associated with this card is the greeting change.Different
day and night greetings may be programmed. These change when the iDCS 500
system switches from normal day operation to evening operation.Additionally, an
alternate greeting may be recorded to indicate a holiday, an emergency or anoth-
er temporary closure. From time to time, it may be necessary to manually change
the active greeting from the current (day or night) to the alternate (holiday).
