4.2 Covering Extension
The caller goes to the covering extension in 3 ways:
•
One way is via the Automated Attendant Service when the Incomplete Call Handling
Status has enabled Covering Extension Transfer Status (see 4.3 Incomplete Call
Handling Status).
•
The second way is during a Personal Greeting announcement—if the caller presses [0]
while a Personal Greeting is being played, she is sent to the covering extension or to an
operator (if the covering extension is not specified).
•
The third way is while recording a message—if the caller presses [0] while leaving a
message, she is sent to the covering extension or to an operator (if the covering
extension is not specified).
•
To activate this feature, your System Administrator must assign a Covering Extension
to your mailbox.
Log into your mailbox.

•
The caller will not know to press [0] for transfer to your covering extension. Therefore,
the caller must be instructed. For example, you might record the Busy greeting in this
way: "Hi, this is Cindy. Sorry, but I am busy with another call right now. If you press [0]
now, you will be transferred to my secretary. Otherwise, please leave a message after
you hear the tone".
