auto_queueDesigned for callers with rotary telephones so that they can be put “on hold” without 
having to press *.
True or False. The default is False.
If True and if active_hold is False, callers are automatically put “on hold” when they 
reach a busy extension. A custom busy message must explain what’s going on so 
that callers are aware that they are “on hold” and that they can dial other exten-
sions—if they prefer.
The default appears in install.cfg as:

begin_rec_promptWhen record_menu is True, this option controls whether the caller hears Amanda 
prompts or only a beep when recording a message. This option has no effect on the 
post-record menu. If the caller presses #, the post-record menu indicates how to re-
record, append to, or save a recording.

When True, Amanda plays, “Begin recording at the tone, finish by pressing # or 
hanging up” before the beep.

cancel_busy_holdDetermines whether callers can hold for a busy extension.
True or False. The default is False.
When True, busy becomes equivalent to Ring No Answer (RNA). That means that 
the caller cannot hold for a busy extension and can only leave a message once RNA 
or BUSY is the state of the called extension (assuming the mailbox accepts messag-
es).
When False, the caller can press * to hold for a busy extension. 
The default appears in install.cfg as:

connect_toneWhen an answer is detected and Amanda is not identifying the called party for the 
current mailbox, this option determines whether Amanda plays a beep. (On the Stan-
dalone system, the mailbox’s ID Call? field is set to NO, and on the Administrator 
client, the mailbox’s Identify Called Party check box is cleared.)
True or False. The default is True.
When True, Amanda plays the beep.
When False, there is no beep.
The default appears in install.cfg as:...

defaults_boxIndicates what mailbox to use as a template when creating a new mailbox. The con-
tents of most fields, all notification records, and all automatic scheduling records are 
copied from the template to the new mailbox. The Comment and Directory Name 
fields are not copied. The Extension field is copied only if it begins with an @ 
(which indicates token programming).
If the Security Code field of the default mailbox is blank, the security codes for new...

dtmf_dlyControls the amount of time between DTMF tones when Amanda is dialing. 
Number of hundredths of seconds. The value is 0 or a number from 3 to 19. The de-
fault is 0.
Using a value of 0 makes it country-dependent (50ms in the US, 80ms in the UK). 
When non-zero, the specified time is used.
The default appears in install.cfg as:
set dtmf_dly 0

applies only if...
