Form 6: Line Ownership

Required if VMS Line Coverage exists for one or more lines

Line #

Telephone Number

Line Owner (Subscriber Name)

Mailbox

General Information

■Lines in the system are assigned either ownership or Automated Attendant Service coverage—a single line cannot be assigned both types of coverage.

■Note that more than one line may be assigned to the same mailbox, but a single line cannot be assigned to more than one mailbox.

■Lines that are assigned ownership typically are used for personal lines or outside access to the voice messaging system if Automated Attendant Service is not used. If the company has users who need to access mailboxes when no one is around to transfer them to their mailboxes, you can set up the system as follows:

–Assign extension 10 as owner of the covered lines.

–Instruct users to press * 7 when they hear the personal greeting from extension 10.

■See the communications system planning forms to determine line numbers, telephone numbers, and line owners’ extensions.

■As an alternative to VMS Line Coverage you can use Extension Line Coverage. See Chapter 5 for more information.
