About the auto attendant and message recording
If you want one or more of your 1080 telephones to automatically answer
incoming calls for your system, to announce the directory, and to enable your
callers to record central system messages, you need to customize AUTO ATT
SETUP. See page 46-51 of your installation guide.
If a 1080 extension is an active auto attendant and it is answering or directing
a call, or playing or recording an announcement or message, the LINE light
flashes sequentially (two short flashes with a long one continually). To
interrupt the auto attendant, press the flashing LINE button on this 1080
telephone to talk to the caller on that line, or press any other LINE button to
disconnect this call and make a new call on another line. See the installation
guide, page 48.
If you want one or more of your 1080 telephones to record messages directed to
individual 1070 and 1040 telephones, you need to customize
AUTO ATT SETUP
and SYS EXT MAILBOX. See pages 46 and 52 of your installation guide.
To turn on the system answering features for private messages, to control the
answering system functions, and to control the timing, security, and what can
happen while messages are being recorded, you need to customize SYS EXT
MAILBOX and DTAD SETUP. See pages 52 and 57 of your installation guide.
Incoming messages
If this 1080 telephone is not set up as an auto attendant, it stores only private
messages.
If this 1080 phone is an auto attendant, it can also store three kinds of messages
on three separate lists, private messages, central messages or system extension
messages.
You must playback or delete each list separately. Play private or central
messages by pressing [DTAD] and scrolling to PRIVATE MSGS, or CENTRAL
MSGS, pressing [ENTER], and then scrolling to PLAY NEW MSGS or PLAY ALL
MSGS, and pressing [ENTER].
