Remote Access
Remote access is used to access and operate the answering machine from another internal
telephone or from an external telephone.
Remote Access Variants
The answering machine supports two different remote access variants:
Remote access
The answering machine always accepts a call after the configured call acceptance time.
After the answering machine has accepted the call, you can initiate remote access during the
announcement and the 10 seconds that follow (by pressing the * key + user remote access PIN
+ # key).
Remote access with quick access
The answering machine automatically accepts a call when the quick remote access number is
transmitted and new messages are present. Otherwise, if no new messages are present, the
time it takes to accept a call is 10 seconds (approx. 2 rings) longer than the configured call
acceptance time.
As soon as the answering machine has accepted the call, you can start remote access. You do
not need to enter the remote access PIN.
Notes:
When quick access is enabled, the call acceptance time varies only if the
quick remote access number has been correctly transmitted. For all other
callers, the answering machine accepts the call after the configured call
acceptance time (no matter whether new messages are present or not).
Using quick access is not appropriate if you have configured settings on
your PBX or telephone that cause the telephone to delay making a call
(for example, subscriber call forwarding on no reply).
