Incoming Calls

Unanswered calls that come in directly to your extension go to a call

 

coverage point. You can set different call coverage points for different

 

conditions: default, no answer, busy, and all calls.

 

Unanswered calls that come to your telephone through ACD groups,

 

hunt groups, and calling groups follow the call coverage path that your

 

administrator sets up for the group. See “Automatic Call Distribution

 

Groups, Hunt Groups, and Calling Groups” in Chapter 6.

 

When you specify call forwarding, you specify the call coverage point and

 

the condition under which to forward calls.

Call Coverage Points

Your call coverage points are the destinations you forward your calls to

 

when you do not answer. They can be telephone extensions or external

 

telephone numbers, your voice mail box, or an automated attendant.

Condition to Forward Calls

You can choose when to forward calls:

Default —Forwards unanswered incoming calls to your default call coverage point after a specified number of rings if you have not specified another condition.

Call Forward No Answer — Forwards unanswered incoming calls to a call coverage point when your phone rings for a specified number of rings.

Call Forward Busy —Forwards incoming calls to a call coverage point when your phone is busy.

If you have multiple lines, all lines must be in use in order for Call Forward Busy to engage.
