Auto Answer All is used on analog multiline telephones or analog direct-line
consoles (DLCs) with an optional modem, answering machine, fax, or other
answering device connected via a General Purpose Adapter (GPA). With Auto
Answer All, the device can automatically answer both outside and inside voice
and data calls when the user is not available.
Auto Answer All is also used with a 502B or 502C headset adapter to allow the
analog multiline telephone or DLC user with a headset to be connected
automatically to ringing calls. A tone heard through the headset signals an
incoming call.
A programmed button is used to activate and deactivate Auto Answer All. The
user selects the lines to be answered by the device by programming Immediate
Ring or Delayed Ring as the ringing option. Lines that are not to be answered
are programmed as No Ring. See "Ringing Options" in this chapter.
To activate Auto Answer All, the user slides the switch on the GPA to Auto and
presses the Auto Answer All button. The green LED next to the button turns on,
and incoming calls are answered automatically.
If the user wants the answering device to answer only inside calls, all personal
lines (outside lines assigned to buttons on the telephone) must be programmed
for No Ring. See "Ringing Options" in this chapter.
To deactivate the feature, the user can either slide the switch on the GPA to
Basic or press the Auto Answer All button. If the button is pressed to deactivate
the feature, the green LED next to the button goes off. In either case, the
telephone returns to normal operation.
Auto Answer All cannot be programmed on an MLC-5 cordless telephone, MLX
telephone, or single-line telephone.
