Configuring Auto Answer

To configure your phone to auto answer pages:
Press the Setup button.
Select Preferences.
Choose Auto Answer Page and press edit.
Press y/n to choose yes (enable) or no (disable).
Press ok.
Press save.
Your system administrator can configure your phone so that you can monitor other
phones on the network from your phone if the feature is available on your system.
If this feature is configured, some line buttons on your phone are assigned to
display the status of another user phone. For example, if your line 4 is configured to
display Bob's phone line, the button color shows you the status of that phone line:
• Green: Line is idle.
• Red (steady): Line is active or in use.
• Red (blinking): Line is ringing.
• Orange (solid): Line is unregistered (cannot be used).
• Orange (blinking): Line is not configured properly.
In addition, if your system administrator has configured it, you can press the same
line button (4) to speed dial Bob's extension, or to pick up a ringing call at his
extension.
Not applicable to the Cisco SPA502G or Cisco SPA512G.
