Operating The Answering Machine Directly - Gigaset C2 Operating Manual

Operating the answering machine directly

Operating the answering machine directly
On the base: CX150isdn
Your ISDN telephone has three answering machines (AM1, AM2, AM3), each of which
you can operate and set independently. You can operate the answering machines either
directly via a registered handset (via the menu) or by remote control (internal or exter-
nal call to the answering machine, see the operating instructions of the base).
Which answering machine you can operate directly using your handset depends on the
assignment of the receive MSN's:
There is no MSN assigned to the answering machines (factory setting):
AM1 answers all calls.
◆
Each answering machine can be set, operated and played back from each handset/
◆
terminal.
One or more MSN's are assigned to each answering machine:
Each answering machine can only be set and played back using handsets/terminals with
the same receive MSN.
Exception: If a receive MSN is assigned exclusively to one answering machine, and not
to any other handset/terminal, then this answering machine can be operated by all
internal users.
If an answering machine is currently being used by one user (directly or
i
by remote control), then no other user can access the answering machine
during this time.
The date and time of arrival of each message is logged if you have previously set this
function (page 94).
You can hide answering machines you do not wish to use, see page 82.
