With Trunk Answer from Any Station (TAAS), telephone users can answer all incoming calls to the attendant when the attendant is not on duty, and when other telephones are not designated to answer the calls. The incoming call activates a gong, a bell, or a chime and a telephone user dials an access code to answer the call.
Users can activate TAAS if each of the following conditions is met:
The attendant pressed the Night button on the primary console or a user (if Communication Manager has no attendant administered) pressed the Night Service button on the designated Night Service phone.
A night console is not assigned or is not operational.
