Auto Attendant: A 1080 telephone in your multi-telephone system is
assigned to pick up a ringing line automatically after a selected number of
rings. The Auto Attendant plays the selected auto attendant message and
redirects the call if the caller enters an extension number. You can assign up
to 16 Auto Attendants in your telephone system.
Caller ID: Caller identification is a subscriber service available from most local
telephone companies for a fee. When you subscribe to caller identification,
you can see who's calling before you answer the phone if you and the caller
are both in areas offering caller ID service with compatible equipment.
Caller ID with call waiting: This is a single, combined subscriber service which
may be available from your local telephone company. If you subscribe to this
service, you can use your 1080 telephone to see who's calling even while you
are on another call (as long as your caller is in an area with caller ID service
and both telephone companies use compatible equipment).
Central message: When a call is answered by the auto attendant, and a
caller presses [9], a central message, one not intended for any particular
extension, is created.

your local telephone company for a fee. This 1080 telephone can be used with
Centrex service.

interruptions during a call.
