PARTNER Attendant
The PARTNER Attendant answers calls and directs them to a specified
extension or to a Hunt Group (based on the digits a caller dials after listening to
a list of choices in a recorded greeting). For example, the PARTNER Attendant
could answer calls and tell callers to press 1 for Sales, 2 for Parts, 3 for Service,
and so on. The PARTNER Attendant can be set up for immediate call handling
or delayed call handling.

Backup for Receptionist

receptionist cannot pick up a call within a specified number of rings, PARTNER
