IPECS PHONE
5.1 ANSWERING MACHINE EMULATION
Description
When a call is sent to a Voice mailbox, the associated station can be assigned to notify the
user and allow the user to screen the call. Two methods of notification and call screening are
provided, Ring or Speaker mode.
In the Ring mode, the user is notified by flashing of the AME (Answering Machine Emulation)
Flex button. The user may press the Flex button to hear the caller as the voice message is
stored. In the Speaker mode, when the call is sent to the Voice Mailbox, the caller’s voice is
automatically broadcast over the speaker of the user’s iPECS Phone.
The user may terminate the screening leaving the caller in voice mail to record a message, talk
with the caller and record the conversation in the mailbox, or answer the call and disconnect
the Voice Mail.
The user’s iPECS Phone must be assigned with an AME Flex button for proper operation.
