Coverage
To program:
See Programming Buttons & Settings, p. 31.
Coverage allows calls to your extension to ring elsewhere, so that they can be handled by someone else. If your system has voice mail, your calls can also be covered that way. There are three types of coverage:
•Primary Coverage. If your calls are covered this way, they ring immediately at the covering telephone.
•Secondary Coverage. The covering telephone rings after a delay of 2 rings, giving you a chance to answer first.
•Group Coverage. Calls for a group of people (coverage group) may be covered by one or more people. Your System Manager can tell you how this works at your office.
Covering telephones are programmed with Cover buttons used to answer calls for others. Delay Ring on the covering telephone can add a longer delay before your calls ring there. If line buttons on your telephone are set to No Ring, however, calls on those lines are not covered (see Rings, p. 4).
To control coverage of inside calls, use these programmable settings: Coverage Inside On allows your inside calls to ring elsewhere; Coverage Inside Off turns inside coverage off.
You can also program buttons for these Coverage features:
•Use a Coverage VMS button to prevent or allow coverage of your outside calls by a voice mail system. These calls may still be covered by a person at another extension.
•Use a Coverage Off button to turn off or on all coverage of your calls.
