Do Not Disturb (F01)A Do Not Disturb button can be programmed on a user’s phone to prevent
calls for that extension from audibly alerting (lights still flash). Subscribers who
have VMS Extension Coverage—either automatic or manual—can use this
communications system feature when they want calls sent to the voice
messaging system immed iately.
Group Call Distribution (#206)Group Call Distribution assigns outside lines to Hunt Groups. If you want an
outside line to be covered by PARTNER Voice Messaging, assign the line to
Hunt Group 7, which is used exclusively for PARTNER Voice Messaging. The
voice messaging system greets the caller with the general greeting. To leave a
message, the caller selects the mailbox by dialing 1–4 or transfers to the
receptionist by dialing 0.
Line Coverage Extension (#208)Line Coverage Extension identifi es an extension as the “owner” of a specific
line, so the extension can activate Call Coverage or VMS Cover for that line.
When a call comes in on a covered line, the system routes the call directly to
PARTNER Voice Messaging if the call is not answered. The voice messaging
system greets the caller with the subscriber’s personal greeting. The caller
has the option of leaving a message in the subscriber’s mailbox, transferring
to another extension, or dialing 0 to reach the receptionist.
Line ownership typically is assigned to personal lines or to lines to be used for
outside access to the PARTNER Voice Messaging.
Voice Mailbox Transfer (F14)A Voice Mailbox Transfer button can be programmed on a user’s phone to
transfer callers directly to PARTNER Voice Messaging without ringing the
extension first. This feature is useful when a use r is handling cal ls for a
subscriber who is not at his or her desk.
