ANSWER-BACK FEATURE
With the answer-back feature you can reply to incoming calls from
sources not assigned to keys on your intercom panel. You can also call
out to destinations not assigned to keys on your panel.
If a second unassigned source calls you while you are speaking to the
first unassigned source, the second call will be placed in the
“answer-back stack,” a group of up to eight waiting calls that are
answered in sequence.
Note: All incoming calls can be answered at the answer-back
key—whether from sources with assigned keys on the
intercom panel or from sources without assigned keys.
Typically, however, only calls from sources without
assigned keys are answered there.
The following sections describe how to use the answer-back feature.
Answer-Back and Clear Keys
The answer-back key is the leftmost lower key on any intercom panel.
The clear key is the leftmost upper key on any intercom panel. (See
Figure 1-9). The keys are labeled “ANSWR” and “CLEAR.”
