Coverage - AT&T Merlin Legend 10BS User Manual

Features

Coverage

Coverage allows a call ringing at one extension to ring at
another extension at the same time, and to be answered at
either phone. Coverage can be set up for an individual or a
group and turned on or off as necessary.
You can program your phone so that all your calls, both inside
and outside, are covered, or so that only outside calls are
covered. If you have a voice messaging system (VMS), you
can also program your phone so that only inside calls, but not
outside calls, are covered by voice mail. In addition, you can
program a button to turn all Coverage of your calls on and off.
Individual Coverage
A coworker providing Individual Coverage for you can have
his or her phone programmed with a button for either primary
or secondary Individual Coverage. The secondary option
provides a two-ring delay to allow you to answer before your
co-worker does; the primary option does not provide this
delay. In addition, each Coverage button on your co-worker's
phone can be programmed for Immediate Ring, Delayed
Ring, or No Ring. (See Ringing Options.)
Regardless of how these options are programmed, the green
light next to the Individual Coverage button on your co-
worker's phone flashes immediately when your phone rings.
Your co-worker's phone rings as shown in the following table.
