Automatic System Answer Delay (#110) 7
Use this feature to specify the number of times (0–9) an incoming call should ring before it is
answered by Automatic System Answer.
Considerations 7
■ Automatic System Answer Delay works independently of Line Ringing, which determines
how an outside call rings at an extension—immediately, after a 20 second delay, or not at all.
Automatic System Answer Delay specifies the number of rings a caller hears before the
system answers the call.
■ If you use Caller ID, make sure Automatic System Answer Delay is set to 2 rings or more to
ensure that Caller ID information is captured.
■ If you use T1 lines with Direct Inward Dialing (DID) that are not administered for Direct
Inward Dialing (DID) in PARTNER ACS R6.0 PC Administration, set the number of rings to 1
ring or more.
Programming 7
To change the number of times an incoming call rings at extension 10 before the system answers
it:
1. Press
f00ss#110.
2. To change the number of rings, press
D until the appropriate value appears. The
number of rings can be from 0 to 9, with 0 meaning immediate answering of the call. The
factory setting is 2 rings.
3. Select another procedure, or exit programming mode.
Automatic System Answer Lines (#204) 7
Use this feature to identify the lines on which incoming calls should be answered by Automatic
System Answer.
Considerations 7
■ 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.
■ You can set Caller ID Log Answered Calls (#317) to Active to log calls on lines answered by
Automatic System Answer.
Programming 7
To identify the lines on which outside calls should be answered by the system:
1. Press
f00ss#204.
