VMS Hunt Delay (#506)
9
Use this feature to determine when outside calls should be answered by the Automated Attendant
of the voice messaging system. You can set the system for any number of rings, 0–6. Assigning
more rings gives the operator an opportunity to answer calls before they go to the Automated
Attendant.
For systems of Release 3.0 or later, VMS Hunt Delay is programmable on a per-line basis. In
addition, you can program this feature so that calls can be handled one way during the day and a
different way when the system is in Night Service.
