Can it be programed to use with an external answering machine?

I have a separate answering machine that I use that's on the same phone number line as the fax machine. I usually have the fax set to Telephone mode (meaning I have to change the mode for me to receive a fax). But, I seem to recall setting the number of rings on my separate answering machine to more rings than the number of rings on the fax machine, so the separate answering machine can pick up the messages.

You can program the pedal to respond different ways. But I don't believe it can be used for anything other than starting, stopping, fast forwarding and rewinding audio files

You can. You'll have to manually program it for what you want to do though.

No it will not work that way. The device expects to have a SIP server with which to connect. It is not a simple line device. It understands dialing plans and converts telephone events into SIP signaling.

I bought only the "extra" handset portion of the phone to use in a spare bedroom, which, of course, does not have the answering machine function. Sorry I couldn't help you.

Yes it can. We have voice mail through our phone carrier so don't use the machine.

A Microcontroller such as a Arduido can provide that with the proper code.It would however need to be programmed.

Yes... but you need the handset raising option. Once that's installed, there's a button on the headset that activates the raising arm to answer the phone, and hangs it up remotely as well. I had this working on one job, answering the office phone from the warehouse, and it worked just great.

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.

I don't think this will work. You should be able to plug your phone directly into the answering machine, but I'm unsure of the model.

I'm assuming you could as the keypad functions like a normal touch tone phone. For example automated menus are no problem.

Not on its own. You will need to link it to an application that has have these options.

The merchant service company you process through should be able to program that remotely. Call their customer services technical department. Hope this helps. :-)

I used to use mine with an old ATT answering machine and it worked fine. I now have voicemail with MagicJack, so don't use the answering machine anymore.

Not really. There are addon devices that allow for this. But this is primarily for at the desk answering. But for the money this is a very good device. This is my second. The first one lasted about 9 years.

The answer is yes - "Using a touch-tone phone, you can call your phone number from outside and access the unit to listen to messages or change answering system settings." (page 41, Operating Instructions)

As long as you set it up to voice dial you will be able to do so. Don't worry about anything the instructions are very clear in the manual
