Manual VMS Cover (F15):
Regardless of the Automatic VMS Cover
setting, the communications system enables subscribers to press a
programmed button to turn voice mail coverage on and off at their
extension. To make this possible, the VMS Cover feature must be
programmed on a button with lights on the subscriber’s system phone.
Do Not Disturb
A Do Not Disturb button can be programmed on a subscriber’s phone to prevent
calls for that extension from audibly alerting (lights still flash). Subscribers who
have VMS Extension Coverage—either automatic or manual—or Line Coverage
Extension can use this communications system feature when they want calls sent
to the voice messaging system immediately.
Line Coverage Extension
Line Coverage Extension identifies an extension as the “owner” of a specific line,
so the extension can activate Call Coverage or VMS Cover for that line.
When a call comes in on a covered line, the system routes the call to PARTNER
Voice Messaging if the call is not answered. The voice messaging system greets
the caller with the subscriber’s personal greeting. The caller has the option of
leaving a message in the subscriber’s mailbox, transferring to another extension
by dialing
*8
, or dialing
0
to reach the receptionist.
Voice Mailbox Transfer
A Voice Mailbox Transfer button can be programmed on a user’s phone so that
the user can transfer callers directly to the PARTNER Voice Messaging mailbox
without ringing the subscriber’s extension first.
