A sender or receiver at an analog multiline telephone can use Auto
Answer All to have calls answered by an answering machine
connected to the telephone.
When Auto Answer All is activated, an answering device connected
to an analog multiline telephone can answer forwarded calls.
A calling group member with an analog multiline telephone can use
Auto Answer All when an answering machine is connected to the
extension. When the feature is activated, all incoming calls ringing on
the group member's telephone (both calls for the calling group and
calls to the group member's own extension) are answered
automatically by the answering machine.
A General Purpose Adapter (GPA) connected to an analog multiline
telephone answers calls on lines set for Immediate or Delay Ring.
Program lines that are not to be answered for No Ring. If the device
should answer only inside calls, Personal Lines must be set for No
Ring.
In Release 6.1 and later systems, calls answered by using Auto
Answer All can be observed.
When Auto Answer All is activated, incoming calls on SA Ring, ICOM
Ring, SA Voice, or ICOM Voice buttons can be answered
automatically by the device connected to a General Purpose Adapter
(GPA).
If SSA buttons are assigned, they should be programmed for either
Delay Ring or No Ring, and the corresponding SA button at the
principal extension should be programmed for Immediate Ring. This
prevents calls to the principal extension from being answered
simultaneously at the principal extension and at another device with a
corresponding 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.
