Feature Reference

Line Coverage Extension (#208)

Description

This feature applies only if you have a voice messaging system.

This System Programming procedure identifies an extension as the “owner” of a specific outside line, so the extension can activate Call Coverage or VMS Cover for that line.

Related Features

■An extension’s “owned” line is eligible for coverage only if Line Ringing is set to Immediate Ring or Delayed Ring and Line Access Restriction (#302) is set to No Restriction or In Only.

■Use Call Coverage to redirect an extension’s calls on owned lines to the covering extension.

■Use Call Coverage Rings (#116) to specify the number of times a call rings at the owner’s extension before it is sent to the covering extension.

■Use VMS Cover or Automatic VMS Cover (#310) to redirect the extension’s calls on owned lines to the voice messaging system.

■Use VMS Cover Rings (#117) to specify the number of times a call rings at the owner’s extension before it is sent to the voice messaging system.

■Users with Call Coverage or VMS Cover turned on can Send All Calls immediately to their covering extension or their voice mailbox by activating Do Not Disturb.

Considerations

■Only one owner can be assigned to a specific line. However, multiple lines can be owned by the same extension.

■This feature provides an alternative method of routing outside calls to the voice messaging system for Call Answer Service.

■This feature has no effect on the CO Line Ownership procedure in PARTNER MAIL, PARTNER MAIL VS or PARTNER Voice Messaging PC Card.
