Personal Answering Machine - AT&T PARTNER Installation And Use Manual

Personal Answering Machine

A personal answering machine (Figure 4-6) is used to answer all the calls that
ring on the lines at a certain extension. It is useful for the following situations:
When you do not want to dedicate an extension to an answering machine
When an extension receives a lot of calls
NOTE:
If you have an answering machine and a phone on the same extension, the
answering machine will only be able to answer calls when the phone is idle.
See "Combination Extensions" in Appendix C for information on connecting two
devices on one extension.

To Use
Go to the machine and manually play back messages.
From any system extension, make an intercom call to the answering
machine extension. When the machine answers, dial its message
retrieval code.
From outside the system, call in and have someone transfer you to the
extension. When the machine answers, dial the message retrieval code.
Or, call in when no one will answer before the answering machine does.
To Set Up
1. Set Line Ringing for all lines at extension X to the desired ring (Ring or No
Ring).
2. Adjust the answering machine to answer on the third or fourth ring so that it
does not answer calls before someone else can.
