Form A: System Configuration, Page 2

VMS Cover Rings (#117) ( ✔ = 3)

Release 4.0 and later communications systems ONLY

The number of times that calls ring (1-9) before they are routed to the mail system’s Call Answer Service is identified in this field. This feature applies to all intercom calls, transferred calls, and outside calls on owned lines specified using Line Coverage Extension (#208) for extensions that have VMS Cover or Automatic VMS Cover (#310) active.

Ring on Transfer (#119) ( ✔ = Active)

Release 4.1 communications system ONLY

If Music on Hold is desired, so callers hear music or recorded messages while the mail system transfers their calls, “NA” should be written in this field. If “NA” is specified, an audio source must be connected to the MUSIC ON HOLD jack on the primary processor module. If this field is blank, callers hear ringing while their calls are being transferred.

Music on Hold (602) ( ✔ = Active)

This field is used to indicate whether Music on Hold is Active or Not Active.

For communications system Release 4.0 and earlier, it is recommended that Music on Hold be Active so that callers hear music or recorded messages (rather than silence) while the mail system transfers their calls. If Music on Hold is Active, an audio source must be connected to the MUSIC ON HOLD jack on the primary processor module.

For communications system Release 4.1, Music on Hold may be Active; or the Ring on Transfer (#119) setting can be left at the default so that callers hear ringing while they are being transferred. Ring on Transfer (#119) is described above.

VMS-AA

The next two items apply only to lines receiving Automated Attendant Service that is implemented using Group Call Distribution (#206) Setting 1 for Hunt Group 7.

VMS Hunt Delay (#506) ( ✔ = Immediate)

This field is used to indicate whether calls on VMS-AA lines specified on Form A Page 1 should be answered by Automated Attendant Service immediately (on the second ring) or after a delay (after the fourth ring).

VMS Hunt Schedule (#507) ( ✔ = Always)

This field is used to indicate whether calls on VMS-AA lines specified on Form A Page 1 should be answered by Automated Attendant Service all the time, during the Day Only (Night Service is Off) or during the Night Only (Night Service is On). A Night Service button is required at extension 10 (see Form C).
