Setting Your System To Automatically Answer Calls; Record Announcement; Answering System Capacity - AT&T SB67108 User Manual

Answering system
answering calls in seconds instead of rings. In this case, allow six
seconds per ring when determining the appropriate setting.

Setting your system to automatically answer calls

On the base you can set each of the four lines to automatically
answer incoming calls in two different ways. See the SB67118 manual
for more information.
General mailbox:
The called line rings on every extension for each incoming call. If
there is no answer, the caller is prompted to leave a message in the
general mailbox, which a person at any handset can review. The
general mailbox stores incoming messages, memos, and recorded
calls.
Auto attendant:
The called line for each incoming call flashes on every extension, but
does not ring. Instead, the auto attendant answers. The caller can
specify an extension or leave a general mailbox message. When the
auto attendant directs a call to an extension but it is not answered,
the auto attendant prompts the caller to leave a message for that
extension or try another extension.

Record announcement

The announcement is the greeting callers hear when calls are
answered by the handset mailbox. You can record a personal
announcement up to two minutes long. (page 23)

Answering system capacity

The maximum recording time of all handsets and base is 180
minutes. The actual recording time depends on individual message
characteristics. Individual messages can be up to three minutes.
Messages remain available for review until you delete them.
Each recorded announcement requires system memory, so we suggest
recording a brief announcement in order to leave more space for
messages.
