Users with Automatic VMS Cover turned on can activate Do Not Disturb to Send All Calls
immediately to their voice mailbox.
If an extension has Automatic VMS Cover and Call Coverage active, calls ring at the
covering extension after the specified number of Call Coverage Rings (#116) or (#320). If the
covering extension does not answer, the call is routed to the voice mailbox of the extension
that activated Call Coverage after the specified amount of VMS Cover Rings.
If an extension has Automatic VMS Cover and Call Forwarding active, calls ring at the
forwarding destination; they are not covered by the voice messaging system.
