Local Call Coverage enables co-workers to cover each others’ phones. This
coverage setup can eliminate the need for a central receptionist.
NOTE:
MLS- or MLC-model phones are recommended at covering extensions, so that
the user at a covering extension can see which line is ringing when a call comes
in.
Figure 4-2 shows one example of how Local Call Coverage works.
