AT&T 3 Answering Machine User Manual


 
Form C: Phone
On communications systems Release 4.0 or later, if Do Not Disturb is on at the same time as
Automatic VMS Cover (#310) is Active or VMS Cover is on, intercom, transferred, and outside calls
on lines identified using Line Coverage Extension (#208) do not alert at the extension; they go to the
extension’s mailbox.
VMS Cover (Feature 1 5)
A VMS Cover button lets a system phone user at an extension with a mailbox press the button to
turn VMS Cover on and off. VMS Cover routes unanswered intercom and transferred calls to the
extension’s mailbox. In addition, on communications systems Release 4.0 or later, VMS Cover
routes unanswered calls on lines identified using Line Coverage Extension (#208) to the extension’s
mailbox.
A VMS Cover button can be Assigned to a button with lights at any extension with a system phone.
If a VMS Cover button is Assigned to an extension, it overrides the Automatic VMS Cover (#310)
setting for the extension, which is specified on communications system Form B2.
Voice Mail Messages (Intercom 7 7 7)
An Auto Dial button on a system phone can be programmed to place an intercom call to the mail
system, so the user can check messages, send messages, or administer greetings.
Voice Mailbox Transfer (Feature 1 4)
A Voice Mailbox Transfer button lets a system phone user press the button and dial an extension
number to transfer a caller directly to an extension’s mailbox, so that the caller can leave a message
without first having to ring the extension. A Voice Mailbox Transfer button can be Assigned to a
button at any extension with a system phone. The extension does not need to have a mailbox.
