Auto-Attendant
19.1 Overview
This chapter shows you how to configure auto-attendant on the X6004.
An auto-attendant is software which acts as an automatic switchboard operator.
auto-attendants help route incoming calls to their proper extension. An auto-
attendant is assigned to each outbound line group and it services incoming calls
on those lines. If your organization has two outbound line groups, each with a
specific telephone number for incoming calls, then you can assign a different auto-
attendant for each incoming line. Assign one auto-attendant for general calls to
your organization (for example, AA1) and one auto-attendant (for example FAX)
for direct routing to a fax machine.
