Automatic Call Access

This feature allows an Inter-Tel endpoint user to determine the way incoming calls are
answered by entering a feature code to select the type of call access. The four variations are as

Automatic Access For All Calls: The user can answer any ringing call by lifting the handset. If
no call is ringing, the user hears intercom dial tone when the handset is lifted. (This is the way
single line endpoints work. When the system is in the default state, all Inter-Tel endpoints have
this type of call access.).
NOTE
The selected option determines how all types of ringing intercom or outside calls (direct calls,
transferred calls, recalls, etc.) are answered. If more than one call is ringing at the endpoint, the
first call received is the first answered.

ring in, for a ringing trunk must always press an individual trunk button for that trunk or enter

and recalls can be answered by lifting the handset.

but requires pressing the
call rings in and is immediately followed by an outside call ringing in, the display shows the
intercom call message, and the outside call camps on. The intercom call also camps on when
the handset is lifted. The user can then choose between the camped on calls by pressing either

only. Single line endpoints are designed to automatically answer ringing intercom and outside
calls by lifting the handset and cannot be changed.
