Setting Up the System So that Incoming Calls Reach the Auto Attendant if the
Operator is Not Available
Perform the following procedure to ensure that incoming calls reach the auto attendant if the operator is not
available. This procedure assumes that the operator uses voicemail.
Procedure
Step 1 If you have not already done so, configure a user for the operator. Make sure that you configure at least one
extension.
Step 2 Ensure that the usage profile that is assigned to the operator has voicemail enabled. If you cannot enable
voicemail in the usage profile, verify whether you have enough voicemail licenses installed.
Step 3 In the usage profile for the operator, configure the call forward busy and call forward no answer settings so
that the calls go to voicemail.
Step 4 If you have not already done so, configure a phone for the operator and assign the user extension to line 1 on
the phone.
Step 5 Create a hunt list that includes the operator feature code from the dial plan or the extension that is assigned
to the phone of the operator. Do not include any other extensions in the hunt list.
Step 6 If the hunt list softkey or button exists on the phone of the operator, the operator can log in and log out of the
hunt list so that the calls go straight to auto attendant.
