Job aid: Answer DN notes

You can assign a maximum of eight Answer DNs to a telephone. You can also determine the types
of calls alert at the telephone where the answer DNs are assigned. Refer to
key levels" on page
Note: You cannot assign Answer DNs to 7000 or 7100 telephones,
because they do not have memory buttons. (Model 7000 phones are
supported in Europe only.)
Warning: Contact Center restrictions: If you assign Answer DNs, ensure that the Answer
keys field (Configuration > Telephony > Global Settings > Feature Settings) is set to
Basic.
Mobility sets: On 7406 cordless digital telephones, you can twin desk sets with the portable sets
by assigning one or more handset DNs to a desk set Answer DN.
Hunt group note: A sequential Hunt group, which has an overflow telephone defined, does not
support the overflow telephone being assigned as an Answer DN for any hunt group member. If an
overflow situation occurs, the Answer DN does not ring a hunt group telephone.
Autodial function: Answer DNs can also act as an internal autodial link to the assigned telephone.
The Answer DN must be idle for this feature to work; that is, there must be no active indicator
showing beside the button.
The system still interprets the key as an Answer DN, and any key press still interacts with other
features. Therefore, even though you are making an internal call, other autodial actions do not
occur. As well, none of the autodial visual prompts occur. The button only prompts if a call is
alerting at the other telephone, based on the answer key level assigned to the system. Refer to
"Answer DN answer key levels" on page
You can program both an Answer DN and an autodial key for the same DN on the same telephone.
