have the T0616 system installed and working fine with 3 incoming lines. on line 1 we have a resisdential answer machine wired to the lines ahead of the unisyn equipment. as calls are answered by the machine, they are also going out on the p.a. i have line 6 configured as AUX for use with the p.a. why are incoming calls going also to the p.a. thru line 6?

cancel this item. while inside the back wall of the office i heard an echo as calls were taken by the answer mach. i assumed it was over the P.A. after calling from a spkr location, i find it is not going thru the P.A. sorry bout that. now to find that pesky echo...

since it is a Unisyn system and the system has analog port capabilities, why not attach the answering machine to a station port?

thanks forthe suggestion, frank. first of all we have used all of the first 8 ports and dont plan on any more so, only only one punch block was created. and then i assumed the anwering mach was an IST device and the voice pairs would only work for that during a power failure. so, if my configuration is not a bad one, i'll go with it. if having the answ mach wired to the main line is a problem, please tell me. everything is working fine at the moment...

The IST ports are only "fired" up if equipped.
