Answering Machine Emulation
When an incoming CO call rings at a station and forwards (except busy type) to the station's
voice mailbox:
In RING MODE, the preprogrammed answering machine flex button flashes at 480 ipm
red while the caller is in the owner's mailbox. The mailbox owner presses the
preprogrammed flashing button and the audio is broadcast over the speaker of the
keyset. The mute key is enabled on the keyset at this point. The LED light is solid red.
In SPKR MODE, the voice mail message is broadcast over the speaker. The mute key is
enabled on the keyset and the LED light is solid red.
Mailbox Options
To leave the caller in the voice mail and stop the speaker broadcast, press the ON/OFF
button. The mailbox owner can continue to listen to the message being left without
taking action at their keyset. When the caller disconnects after leaving the voice mail
message, the button returns to solid red and the keyset returns to idle.
To talk to the party leaving the message, press the MUTE key. The station remains in the
CONF mode, and the caller hears the voicemail and the station user.
To pick up the call, press the flexible button. When the call is picked up, the voice mail
system disconnects from the call, and the voice mail port returns to the idle (waiting)
state. The caller is in a normal talk state with the CO caller.
Conditions
The user must have an Electronic or Digital Keyset.
Keyset must have a preprogrammed ANSWER MACHINE flex button.
After the in-band digits are sent to the voice mail, the station's flexible button status is
checked. The feature is executed based on this check. The result of the check is as follows:
- Inactive = no feature operation executed
- Active = feature executed as per button function (ring mode or speaker mode)
An idle station can press the flexible button to go to the inactive mode. The LED
extinguishes and no answer machine calls are presented to the station.
Once the button is programmed at the station, it is in the inactive mode (LED
extinguishes).
If the station user answers the call, the normal CO line LCD window displays. The call
timer shows the elapsed time including the time the caller was in VM. The call timer does
not start at 0 in this case.
