and workgroup extensions of the window
.

To enable these options, select Enable No Answer Handling box. 

Use the Number of Rings Before Handling scroll box to select a number 
between 2 and 20 for the times the telephone rings before the call is handled 
by the system.

Select one of the following options for no answer call handling:

Auto Attendant to which to route the call. Auto Attendant settings are 
established in Auto Attendant Select… on the Management menu.

Enabling One Number Access

This check box option is available to all extension types, but with 
qualifications:

It is available to physical extensions only when the Forward to Voice 
Mail
 option is selected. 

It is available to workgroup pilot numbers when the Forward to 
Workgroup Voice Mail, Forward to Member Voice Mail,
