A high-quality answering machine can be set up on any musiphone® NEXT LEVEL system simply by enabling the mailbox software option. This turns the system into a high-capacity answering machine (via SMC card, up to four hours and more). Here, in contrast to many “separate” answering machines, the renowned musiphone® sound quality is also guaranteed for the answering machine greeting. The mailbox function can be used both out of hours and during the day if the number requested (extension or ring group) is not answered.
To provide notification of any new messages left in the mailbox, the musiphone® can be set to dial a DTMF string of up to 20 digits (any character can be used, i.e. the numbers 0 to 9, star, hash, A, B, C, D and also flash). This can either initiate a call (e.g. to a mobile phone) or activate a message or lamp on a system telephone.
Additional tip:

Thanks to the timer control of all message functions on the musiphone®, the answering machine greeting can be changed automatically according to the time of day. After closing time, for example, callers will hear “Unfortunately our office is closed at the moment...”, and during the day “The person you are calling is not available at the moment ...”.
