Changing the Operator’s Extension
One extension must be designated as the operator or receptionist’s extension. This is the
extension that Amanda dials when the caller presses or does not make a selection
when he hears the Caller Instructions greeting. Amanda will not run smoothly if no one’s
extension serves as the operator’s extension. The installer should set this up as part of the
installation process, but you might need to change that extension at some point in time.

Changing the Fax Machine’s Extension
If you attach a fax machine to an extension controlled by Amanda, Amanda recognizes the
fax tone in an incoming call and transfers the call immediately to the fax machine’s
extension. The installer should set this up as part of the installation process, but you might
need to change that extension at some point in time.
