Auto Answer All
Other Multiline Telephones
0
Auto Answer All cannot be used on MLX telephones, cordless telephones, or
wireless telephones.
Single-Line Telephones
0
Auto Answer All cannot be used on single-line telephones. This includes
single-line telephones with speakerphones.
Some single-line telephones (such as the 8110) have their own telephone-based
Auto Answer feature, which can be used with a Release 4.0 or later MERLIN
LEGEND Communications System.
Considerations and Constraints
0
When Auto Answer All is used, all voice announcements (including Voice
Announce to Busy) should be disabled because the device connected to the GPA
cannot answer voice-announced calls.
Auto Answer All cannot be used with a Hands-Free Unit (HFU).
Occasionally a second alert (or zip) tone may sound on incoming or intercom
calls. This is normal.
Auto Answer All should be used instead of Auto Answer Intercom to allow an
answering device to answer intercom calls. Auto Answer Intercom can cause
intercom calls to be dropped.
Feature Interactions
0
Auto Answer
Intercom
Both Auto Answer All and Auto Answer Intercom can be programmed on
the same extension, but they cannot be used at the same time. Auto
Answer Intercom should not be used with answering devices.
Auto Dial
At an analog multiline telephone with a General Purpose Adapter (GPA)
connected and set for Auto operation, you must lift the handset before
pressing an Auto Dial button. Do not use the Spkrphone button.
Coverage
Auto Answer All is used when a receiver with an analog multiline
telephone wants Individual or Group Coverage calls to be answered by
an answering machine connected to the extension.
Forward and
Follow Me
An answering device connected to an analog multiline telephone can
answer forwarded calls when Auto Answer All is activated.
