Auto Answer automatically answers calls from subscribers in handsfree mode using

NOTES

You cannot use Auto Answer Incoming if you are using a headset or if
you have more than one endpoint assigned to an extension number.

Outside calls cannot be answered using Auto Answer unless routing
rules are set in Inter-Tel Personal Communicator for Web to allow spe-
cific outside phone numbers to be answered automatically. You can
also enable and disable Auto Answer using Inter-Tel Personal Com-
municator for Web.
