Lucent Technologies 4.1 User Manual

This feature lets you record and play back the message that callers hear when a

call is answered by the Automatic System Answer feature. The maximum length
of the message is 10 seconds.

After the Automatic System Answer greeting plays, the system either places
the call on hold, provides continuous ringing, or disconnects the call
depending on the setting of Automatic System Answer Mode (#121).

Automatic System Answer affects incoming calls only on lines identified
using Automatic System Answer Lines (#204).

You must program a button on the system display phone at extension 10 to
turn Automatic System Answer 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 the number of rings, use
Automatic System Answer Delay (#110).

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.

You should record a message before using Automatic System Answer since
there is no default message.

If you do not record a message for Automatic System Answer, calls will be
placed on hold, continue to ring, or be disconnected immediately after the
system answers, depending on the setting of Automatic System Answer
Mode (#121).

You must record the Automatic System Answer message from the system
display phone at extension 10 or 11.

You cannot record or play a message while Automatic System Answer or
Direct Extension Dial is answering a call. When you want to record or play a
message, turn off Automatic System Answer and Direct Extension Dial and
wait for any calls in the process of being answered by the system to be
completed.
