NOTE:

This procedure assigns senders. Before you begin, make certain that the receivers for the coverage groups are assigned through extension or centralized telephone programming.

A maximum of 30 coverage groups is allowed, each with an unlimited number of members. Up to eight receivers can be assigned per coverage group.

An extension can be a sender in only one group; it can be a receiver for more than one coverage group. A calling group can be assigned as a receiver for up to 30 coverage groups. In Hybrid/PBX mode only, the QCC queue can be a receiver for up to 30 coverage groups.

If the sender’s extension has one or more personal lines assigned, the sender can be assigned as the principal user so that calls received on the personal line follow that user’s coverage pattern, if any.

When you reassign an extension to a new coverage group, the extension is automatically removed from its old group.

NOTE:

If you are using a voice messaging system (VMS) as a coverage receiver in a Release 4.1 or later system, you can set up Night Service so that the programmed Coverage VMS Off buttons on coverage senders’ telephones are deactivated when Night Service takes effect. When normal operation is resumed, the system automatically activates senders’ Coverage VMS Off buttons so that the voice mail system no longer takes messages. For

additional information, see ‘Revising‘ Night Service with Coverage Control’’ on page 6-80 and the Feature Reference.
