Changing the Way Calls Are Answered
Temporarily Refusing Calls
If your system administrator has allowed access to the Availability Control,
you can automatically refuse incoming calls if you do not wish to be disturbed.
Callers get a message that the call was rejected, and you receive no notification
about incoming calls. You can, however, make outgoing calls.
To temporarily refuse incoming calls:
>> On the Home screen, set the Availability Control to Do Not Disturb.
Answering Video Calls Automatically
If your system administrator has allowed access to user settings, you can
specify whether to answer video calls automatically or to have the system
announce incoming video calls and wait for you to answer manually.
To automatically answer video calls:
1 Select System from the Home screen.
2 Select User Settings from the System screen.
3 If you want to automatically answer incoming point-to-point video calls,
set Auto Answer Point-to-Point Video to Yes.
4 If you want to automatically answer incoming multipoint video calls, set
Auto Answer Multipoint Video to Yes.

Do Not Disturb
If you have a Polycom HDX 4000 system that you are using as your computer
monitor, Polycom recommends that you set up the system so that you have to
answer calls manually.
Automatically answering calls is convenient, but it can create security issues. An
unexpected caller could interrupt a meeting in progress or look at equipment and
notes left in an empty room.
