Description
Auto Answer All is used on analog multiline telephones only or analog
Direct-Line Consoles (DLCs) with a modem, answering machine, or other
answering device connected through a General Purpose Adapter (GPA) to
answer both inside and outside calls when the user is not available.
To activate Auto Answer All, slide the switch on the GPA to Auto and press the
Auto Answer All button. The green LED next to the button turns on, and
incoming calls are answered automatically.
To deactivate the feature, either slide the switch on the GPA to Basic or press
the Auto Answer All button. If the button is pressed to deactivate the feature, the
green LED next to the button turns off. In either case, the telephone returns to
normal operation.
Auto Answer All can also be used with a headset adapter to allow an analog
multiline telephone user or analog DLC operator with a headset to be connected
automatically to ringing calls. A tone heard through the headset signals an
incoming call.
A programmed button activates and deactivates Auto Answer All. Select the
lines to be answered by the device by programming Immediate Ring or Delay
Ring as the ringing option. Lines that are not to be answered should be
programmed as No Ring.
