You can set up the auto attendant to answer outside calls, provide callers with
a company directory, direct calls to a specified extension, and enable callers
to record voice messages by forwarding the calls to the console’s general
mailbox. You can use the default announcement or record up to two outgoing
announcements and one directory announcement. For details on how to use
the auto attendant features, see the Auto attendant operation on page 21 of
this user’s manual.
