Operating the Gigaset N300A IP base answering
machine
You can operate the answering machines that are integrated in the base via a reg-
istered handset or via remote operation (other phone/mobile phone). You can only
record your own announcement message or advisory message via a handset.
The base has three answering machines (AM1, AM2, AM3) that can be activated and
used independently of each other.
Once the phone has been set up, AM1 is activated and all base connections (lines)
are assigned to it as receive connections.
AM2 and AM3 are available once you have assigned at least one receive connection
to them.
Each answering machine only receives calls that are directed to its receive connec-
tions. Each answering machine can only be operated via the handsets to which at
least one of the machine's receive connections is assigned.
Assigning receive connections
Prerequisite: at least two connections have been configured on your base.

¤ You can enter data in the following fields:
An entry Receive calls for xxx (xxx = name of the connection) is displayed for each
base connection.
Make the following setting for every configured phone connection.
¤ Select Yes using r if the answering machine should accept calls made on the
connection in question.
Select No, if the receive connection should not be assigned to this answering
machine.
If the connection is already assigned to another answering machine as a receive
connection, you cannot select Ye s. You have to cancel the old assignment first.
Parallel calls
If a caller is connected to an answering machine and a second call comes in for this
answering machine, the second caller will hear the dialling tone. The call is sig-
nalled to the handsets to which the receive connection is assigned.
If the second call is not accepted, the answering machine will accept this call if:
u The connection with the first caller has ended and
u The set time period for the answering machine to answer a call (¢page 103)
has expired.
