Answer-Back Facility
The answer-back facility answers calls from panels or interfaces that
the panel has not currently selected.
Call-Waiting Light
This dual-function light:
• is steadily lit when a call signal is received
• flashes to indicate a call waiting signal, which has priority over a
call signal.
Answer-Back Button
This three-function button:
• sends a call signal to the selected, programmed label when the
call waiting light is off
• directs audio to the longest-waiting call in the call-waiting stack
when the call waiting light is flashing
• ends the current conversation from the call-waiting stack when
the call waiting light is steadily on.
Answer-Back Stack
The answer-back stack tracks incoming calls from any label that is not
assigned to the panel. These calls are available in the order they were
received. The length of time the calls are available before they are
automatically removed is set in the configuration program.
Note: The label programmed to and selected by the panel will
never appear in the answer-back stack and duplicate labels
are never added.
Answering a Call from the Answer-Back Stack
To answer a call from the answer-back stack:
1. Press and release the answer-back button to select the longest
waiting call.
2. Press the answer-back button while responding. The call waiting
light will be on steadily.
Terminating Calls Answered with the Answer-Back Button
To terminate a call answered with the answer-back button, turn off the
call waiting light, and recover the previous call:
• The receiving panel can terminate the call by pressing and
releasing the answer-back button.
• The calling panel can terminate the call.
• Note: The
call-waiting light does
not light when a call
is received from a
programmed label.
• The panel’s
answer-back feature
offers a number of
functions.
• A tone alert is
provided to ensure
call signals are
noticed.
