Line Coverage Extension (#208)
Description
This feature applies only if you have a voice messaging system.
This System Programming procedure identifies an extension as the “owner” of a
specific outside line, so the extension can activate Call Coverage or VMS Cover
for that line.
Related Features
■ An extension’s “owned” line is eligible for coverage only if Line Ringing is
set to Immediate Ring or Delayed Ring and Line Access Restriction
(#302) is set to No Restriction or In Only.
■ Use Call Coverage to redirect an extension’s calls on owned lines to the
covering extension.
■ Use Call Coverage Rings (#116) or (#320) to specify the number of times
a call rings at the owner’s extension before it is sent to the covering
extension.
■ Use VMS Cover or Automatic VMS Cover (#310) to redirect the
extension’s calls on owned lines to the voice messaging system.
■ Use VMS Cover Rings (#117) or (#321) to specify the number of times a
call rings at the owner’s extension before it is sent to the voice messaging
system.
■ Users with Call Coverage or VMS Cover turned on can Send All Calls
immediately to their covering extension or their voice mailbox by activating
Do Not Disturb.
■ To use Call Screening (F25), the station must be the Line Coverage
Extension for that line.
Considerations
■ Only one owner can be assigned to a specific line. However, multiple lines
can be owned by the same extension.
■ This feature provides an alternative method of routing outside calls to the
voice messaging system for Call Answer Service.
■ This feature has no effect on the CO Line Ownership procedure in
PARTNER MAIL, PARTNER MAIL VS or PARTNER Voice Messaging PC
Card.
