Features
Auto Answer All
Group Calling
Ringing Options
System Access/
Intercom Buttons
Voice Announce
Members in a calling group with analog multiline telephones can use Auto
Answer All when answering machines are connected to their extensions.
When the feature is activated, all incoming calls ringing on the calling
group member's extension—both calls for the calling group and calls to
the member's own extension—are answered automatically by the
answering machine.
An analog multiline telephone user selects the lines to be answered by
programming them for Immediate or Delay Ring and selects the lines not
to be answered by programming them for No Ring. If the device is to
answer only inside calls, all personal lines (outside lines assigned to
buttons on the telephone) must be programmed for No Ring.
When Auto Answer All is activated, all calls received at an SA Ring,
ICOM Ring, SA Voice, or ICOM Voice button can be answered
automatically by the device connected to the GPA. If Shared SA buttons
are assigned, only the principal extension should be programmed for
Immediate Ring to prevent the call from being answered at the principal
extension and at extensions with the Shared SA button.
Voice-announced calls received at an analog multiline telephone are not
answered by a device connected through a GPA because ringing current
is not sent to the device.
