Operating The Base Station Answer Machine; Operation Via The Handset - Siemens Gigaset C470 IP User Manual

Operating the base station answer machine

You can operate the answer machine that is integrated in the base station via the handset
or via remote operation (other phone/mobile phone). You can record your own announce-
ment message or advisory message via the handset.
Receive numbers
You can use your phone's Web configurator to set which of your phone numbers your
answer machine is to accept as soon as it is switched on (page 145). You can assign your
phone any amount of phone numbers as receive numbers (VoIP, fixed line network,
Gigaset.net).
All calls accepted by the answer machine are stored in sequence in the answer machine
independently of the receive number and displayed in the same answer machine list.
Any registered handset to which at least one receive number from the answer machine has
been assigned as a send or receive number can access the answer machine list (page 144).
After a new phone number is configured (a new VoIP account), it is first assigned to the
answer machine as a receive number.
Parallel calls
If a caller is connected to the answer machine and a second call for the answer machine
comes in on a different line (fixed line network or VoIP), the second caller hears the ringing
tone. The answer machine will answer the second call if:
u
the connection with the first caller has ended and
u
the set time period for the answer machine to answer a call (page 77) has expired.
Announce only/answer and record mode
