Line Ownership
Considerations and Constraints
If you do not use line Ownership to asign owners to lines for which Group Call
Distribution (#206) Setting 3—VMS Line Cover was used to assign Voice Mail
coverage, all calls on those lines will be directed to the General Mailbox for
Automated Attendant 1.
If you change Group Call Distribution (#206) to Setting 2—Not Assigned for a line on
the communications system, remember to deallocate Line Ownership for that line on
the mail system.
A Transfer-Only mailbox cannot be a line owner.
Related Communications System Features
Line Ownership should be used only for lines for which Group Call
Distribution (#206) Setting 3—VMS Line Cover was used to assign Voice Mail
coverage.
Do not use Line Ownership with Line Coverage Extension (#208) or with
Group Call Distribution (#206) Setting 1—Assigned.
Related Mail System Features
Calls that come in on a line that has an assigned owner get the treatment associated
with the mailbox type of the owner. For more information about mailbox types, see
Mailbox.
