Lucent Technologies 4.1 User Manual

This System Programming procedure identifies the lines on which incoming calls
should be answered by the Automatic System Answer feature.

After a call is answered, Automatic System Answer plays a greeting then

either places the call on hold, provides continuous ringing, or disconnects

You must program a button on the system display phone at extension 10 to
turn this feature on and off. Use Automatic System Answer Button (#111)
to program the button.

Calls that ring on lines programmed with Automatic System Answer are

picked up after two rings, as a default. To change this number, use

You must use Automatic System Answer Record/Playback to record the
greeting callers hear when the system answers an incoming call. If there is

no message recorded for Automatic System Answer, the caller will be
placed on hold immediately after the system answers.

You can set SMDR Talk Time (#611) to Active to include the Talk field on
call reports. For an incoming outside call answered by Automatic System

Answer, this field shows the call duration minus the time the greeting played
and the caller waited for someone to answer the call.

For callers to hear music on hold, Music On Hold (#602) must be Active
and an audio source must be connected to the primary processor module.

All lines programmed with Automatic System Answer should be assigned to
extension 10.

Only outside calls on Automatic System Answer lines are answered
automatically. Intercom, transferred, and transfer-return calls are not
answered automatically.

1 = Assigned
2 = Not Assigned
