This section describes how to forward a caller to the answering machine an how to take over an active call from the answering machine. Furthermore, you can adjust the local answering machine to your needs. To that belongs the settings for call acceptance rules, the recording, the remote access and the e-mail settings.
The call recording function conversations calls to be recorded, for example, for later evaluation. In addition to the automatic recording of all calls, it is also possible to record calls manually. This operates independently of the automatic call recording function. This allows calls to be recorded in pieces.
Call recordings can be played from the answering machine list.
