Transfer to an
Answering Machine
Install a ConnecT/R (118A) with an alerter (such as AUXILIARY TONE RINGER
Comcode 105446546) connected to the TEL-DEVICE connector. Program a route
in the SPIRIT Attendant to transfer all calls intended for the parts department to
the extension number of the station port where the alerter is connected.
Any of the personnel in the parts department can access the incoming call that is
alerting by pressing “INTERCOM ✳ 8 XX”, where the XX is the extension number
of the common alerter. The ” ✳ 8 XX” can be programed into a SPEEDCALL
location on the station set and the button could be labeled “CALL PICKUP.”
Choose an unused station port and administer all CO lines to be “answer only”
and “no ring.” On 1224/2448 SPIRIT Systems, administer the common lines for
“line button assigned.”
Install a ConnecT/R (118A) with an answering machine (such as the AT&T
Model 1321 or 1323) connected to the TEL-DEVICE connector. Program a route
on the SPIRIT Attendant to transfer all calls intended for the answering machine
to the extension number of the station port where the ConnecT/R is connected.
Include some text in the SPIRIT Attendant’s message instructing the caller to
“Dial X to leave a message.”
