Assigning Automated Attendant Extensions

You can assign up to 10 Automated Attendant extensions. An Automated Attendant extension is one that sends the caller to one of the four Automated Attendants.
When you assign an extension as an Automated Attendant extension, you are prompted to:
• Identify whether a telephone is associated with the extension. If a telephone is associated with the Automated Attendant extension, calls transferred to that extension from PARTNER Messaging ring at the telephone and, if unanswered, are handled by an Automated Attendant. If a telephone is not associated with the Automated Attendant extension, calls transferred by PARTNER Messaging do not ring at a telephone, but go directly to the Automated Attendant Service.

• Administer a Directory Listing or Recorded Name. Users and callers can use up to a 10-letter Directory Listing to transfer calls to the Automated Attendant extension. The Automated Attendant extension name can also be recorded.
