Answering Calls on Shared Lines

Incoming calls to a shared line causes all registered phones to ring, and the call can be answered on any
of the phones. When you or another person answers the incoming call, a green indicator light is displayed
on the line key on all phones for the shared line.
You can also choose to ignore the incoming call by selecting Silence. The phone stops ringing, and the
visual notification continues to display giving you the option to answer the call.

Answer Calls Automatically

You can set up your phone to automatically answer calls using the Auto Answer feature. When this feature
is enabled, your phone automatically answers all incoming calls using the speakerphone. Your system
administrator sets how many times your phone rings before the call is automatically answered.
When Auto Answer is enabled and you receive an incoming call while in a call, the incoming call is not
answered until you end or hold the current call.
To enable your phone to automatically answer calls:
1 Navigate to Settings > Basic > Preferences > Auto Answer.
For VVX 1500 phones, navigate to Menu > Settings > Basic > Preferences > Auto Answer.
2 From the Auto Answer screen, select Auto Answer SIP Calls, and select Yes.
3 If your phone supports H.323 protocol, select Auto Answer H.323 Calls, and select Yes.
This option is displayed only if your phone supports the H.323 protocol.
4 Select Microphone Mute, and choose Yes (the default setting) to mute the microphone for
auto-answered calls.
5 For VVX 500, 600, and 1500 phones, select Video Mute, and select Yes to mute the video when
video calls are auto-answered.
The default setting is No. See the section
6 Select Save.
These settings are applied to all incoming calls on your phone.

Answer Calls on a Locked Phone

When you set up your phone so that you can answer incoming calls when your phone is locked (see
Your Phone), you can answer calls by entering your user password.
To answer a call on a locked phone:
1 From the Incoming Call screen, select Answer.
2 Enter your user password and select Enter.
The call connects.

Answer Intercom Calls

When you receive an intercom call on your phone, the call is answered automatically using the
