Automatic VMS Cover (#310)
Description
This System Programming procedure automatically routes an extension’s unanswered intercom and transferred calls to the Call Answer Service of the voice messaging system after three rings, so callers can leave a message.
Related Features
■To turn VMS Cover on and off, users can program a VMS Cover button with lights. Users can then press the VMS Cover button to activate (green light on) or deactivate (green light off) VMS Cover.
■If an extension has VMS Cover and Do Not Disturb active, intercom and transferred calls go directly to the voice messaging system without ringing the extension.
■If an extension has VMS Cover and Call Forwarding active, calls ring at the forwarding destination; they are not covered by the voice messaging system.
Considerations
This feature applies only if you have a voice messaging system.
