Can this Polycom be set to auto answer incoming calls?

Not sure if I am understanding your question, but it does not have an answering machine. We have an answering machine on the same line that does "answer" calls with an opportunity for someone to leave a message, but this has nothing to do with the Polycom phone. You'll need an answering machine.

It can as long as your system supports POTS ports and you have a method to queue the incoming call into your system, as this device will only ring twice, which is about 10 to 12 seconds, at which point your system MUST answer the call, or the person will have to press the button again. We are going to use the Linksys SPA3102, since we have used it many times to do similar things in the past and it is very programmable. It is an advanced configuration, not something a novice VoIP admin will figure out. If you Google "Answer your front door with Asterisk" from NerdVittles you can learn quite a bit more about how to do this on an Open Source phone system.

Yes, it will answer a Lync call automatically when you pick it up off the charger. You can answer, hangup, and mute a Lync call all from the headset. I use this everyday for may job, working from a home office and it is the best headset I have had.

I have no idea! I really just use it as a basic house line. I don't even use the answering function. The ABC buttons could be preset for Fire, Ambulance, rescue....with no dialing.

This system connects to phone systems, not cell phones, but if your phone system is through an internet provider, the Polycom is not plug and play. We have had ours for over a month and can get it to work. Buyer beware!

None,it doesn't work that way all calls go through your Caller ID and Answering Machine.As two other people have commented on this,i couldn't have said it better myself,if you buy it you won't believe the quiet you'll get from it.I'm still very happy with mine,this was a wise investment on my part.

No. My phone utilizes VOIP. When a 2nd call comes in there is a brief interruption in the connection.

Yes, under settings caller id annc. You have to disable on the base and each handset

If you are referring to a phone set that is within the system, the answer is "yes". For example, I answer the phone, but the call is for my husband who is busy in his office. I can put the call on hold, use the intercom to ask if he wants to talk to the person calling, and then go from there. Or, by pressing the intercom button, if you have several handsets, scroll the up/down arrows to select a destination and then press the "select" key.

I think most Polycom phones are equipped with electronic headset switch. I have a Polycom VVX300 and it works great. You should have everything you need for connection as it comes.

I dont think there is a setting for that. In my case, it does not "overide" the caller ID of any of my cordless handsets and I am using sets from two, different manufacturers.

Yes, it has an intercom feature. You press the menu button, scroll through the options, select the INTERCOM option, and choose the phone you want to call.

No. It has adjustable ringer volume, adjustable earpiece volume and it supports "Flash" which allows you to answer an incoming call while on another call (but only if you have that service from your phone company)

I haven't found that particular option on this phone. The phone does have a voice caller ID so you'll know who is calling.

I do not. I am able to answer the calls by pushing the answer/hang-up button on the earpiece. It does announce the callers names as well.

Yes you can use the Intercom feature. Answer call, put on hold use Intercom to notify notify person which line to pick up.

Yes, just flip down little flap to turn on. I leave it open while I drive. It answers automatically when down. I connect to Genious button to call out.
