When the call screening feature is available, you can ask your system manager to change your call
screening options. Call screening options affect what you hear when you answer your phone.
If your system manager has set up call screening for your extension, you can turn call screening on and off
using a phone. However, call screening options can only be changed using the Mailbox Manager.

Select any of the following call screening options.
• Play a tone before connecting a caller. The system plays a tone before
connecting the call.
• Play screened name before connecting. The system asks the caller for his or her
name before ringing your extension. The system plays "Call from <caller's name spoken by the
caller>" before connecting the call.
• Ask me if I want to take the call. The system plays "Press 1 to take the call, or 2
and I'll take a message" then waits for your response before connecting the call.
• Play screened name in voice message. The system plays the caller's name in the
body of the message.
• Announce who the call is for. The system plays the subscriber name before
transferring the call. This option can be used if multiple people share one extension.
These options can be combined. For example, if you select Play screened name before
connecting and Ask me if I want to take the call, the system asks for the caller for his
or her name, then rings your extension. When you answer the call, the system plays the recorded
name, then asks if you want to take the call.
NOTE
You can only select Play the caller's name before connecting or Play the
screened name in voice message. You cannot select both of these options.
Click Save.
