Configuring Directory Settings

You can choose to answer calls automatically or manually, or you can set the
system to automatically refuse any incoming calls.
To set the call answering mode:
1. Go to System > Admin Settings > General Settings > System Settings >
Call Settings.
2. Select Auto-Answer Point to Point.
3. Select one of the following:
— Yes – Answers calls automatically.
— No – Enables you to answer calls manually.
— Do Not Disturb – Refuses incoming calls automatically. The caller
receives a message that the site is unavailable.
Automatically answering calls is convenient, but keep in mind that an
unexpected caller could interrupt you or see and hear you without your
knowledge. If you still want to automatically answer calls but you want to
prevent incoming callers from seeing and hearing you, you can mute all
automatically answered calls and make sure your lens cover is closed.
You can customize the behavior of the Directory on the Directory screen.
To configure system settings:
1. Go to System > Admin Settings > General Settings > System Settings >
Directory.
