If you want to be able to answer incoming calls while working in another

Options dialog should be checked. "Maximize on Ring" is the default
option.
□ When you have an incoming call, the SPEAKERPHONE button on
the Main screen changes to the ANSWER button. Click this button to
answer the call.
^ If you are running another data terminal application that is answering incoming calls
instead of the Communication Center, change the settings in the data terminal application
so that it will not answer incoming calls, or set it to answer after a number of rings that is
greater than the number of rings that the Communication Center is set to answer calls. If
Microsoft Fax is answering incoming calls instead of the Communication Center, see
"Receiving Faxes" on page 89 for troubleshooting tips.
