Automatic System Answer Delay (#110)

Use this feature to specify the number of times (0–9) an incoming call should ring before it is
answered by Automatic System Answer.

• Automatic System Answer Delay works independently of Line Ringing, which determines how an outside call rings at an extension—immediately, after a 20 second delay, or not at all. Automatic System Answer Delay specifies the number of rings a caller hears before the system answers the call.
• If you use Caller ID, make sure Automatic System Answer Delay is set to 2 rings or more to ensure that Caller ID information is captured.
• If you use T1 lines with Direct Inward Dialing (DID) that are not administered for Direct
  Inward Dialing (DID) in PARTNER ACS R7.0 PC Administration, set the number of rings to 1 ring or more.
  

To change the number of times an incoming call rings at extension 10 before the system answers it:

1. Press feature +(00)+(system program)+(system program)+#110
2. To change the number of rings, press (Next Data) until the appropriate value appears. The number of rings can be from 0 to 9, with 0 meaning immediate answering of the call. The factory setting is 2 rings.
3. Select another procedure, or exit programming mode.
