Defining coverage for calls redirected to
external numbers
You can administer the system to allow calls in coverage to redirect to off-net
(external) or public-network numbers.
Standard remote coverage to an external number allows you to send a call to an
external phone, but does not monitor the call once it leaves your system.
Therefore, if the call is busy or not answered at the external number, the call
cannot be pulled back to the system. With standard remote call coverage, make the
external number the last coverage point in a path.
With newer systems, you may have the option to use the Coverage of Calls
Redirected Off-Net feature. If this feature is ac tive and you use an external
number in a coverage path, the system can monitor the call to determine whether
the external number is busy or does not answer. If necessary, the system can
redirect a call to coverage points that follow the external number. With this
feature, you can have a call follow a coverage path that starts at the user’s
extension, redirects to the user’s home phone, and if not an swered at home, ret urns
to redirect to their voice mail box.
The call will not return to the system if the external number is the last point in the
coverage path.
