Configuring the Auto-Attendant Messages
The System provides a feature called the auto-attendant, which automatically answers incoming calls with
greetings or directory messages. It can handle up to 10 incoming calls and uses the default user ID

.
Auto-Attendant Messages
You can save up to 10 customized greetings. The first four have default messages, which can be changed
through the Interactive Voice Response Menu.
The recorded messages will be encoded with G711U and saved in flash memory. These messages will be erased
whenever you reset the System to its factory default settings. The maximum length of any message is one
minute. You can record up to 94.5 seconds of audio, excluding the default messages. When there is not enough
memory left, the Interactive Voice Response Menu will automatically end the recording.
You can access the auto-attendant prompt settings through the Interactive Voice Response Menu.
