Answering system
About the answering system
The answering system of this console has two mailboxes, namely the central
(auto attendant) mailbox and private mailbox.
The auto attendant can be used to answer calls, record messages, direct
incoming calls to other system extensions, or enter the remote access menu.
You can also leave messages in the private mailbox if the caller has diverted
the call to this console but nobody picks up. The auto attendant feature must
be turned on for all these features to work.
If the auto attendant feature is off, the console will not answer any
incoming calls and the caller cannot leave messages in both central and
private mailboxes.
Only this MS2085 console can serve as an auto attendant in the telephone
system and redirect incoming call to other extensions in the system.
Answering system capacity
You can record up to four outgoing announcements and a directory
announcement for the auto attendant, and one announcement for the private
mailbox of this console. Each announcement can be up to 75 seconds.
The maximum message recording time of the console is 60 minutes.
This includes 40 minutes for the central mailbox and 20 minutes for the
private mailbox. The actual recording time depends on individual message
characteristics. Messages remain available for review until you delete them.
If the system memory is full, you cannot record new messages until old
ones have been deleted. Check the remaining recording time frequently to
maintain availability of space for incoming messages.
NOTE: You cannot record announcement when the telephone system is out of space.
Message Guard®
The answering system protects the recorded messages from loss in the event
of a power failure.
