coverage is programmed or the call is not answered at a personal line, the
call continues to ring in the queue until the caller hangs up.

32 devices per system), and each device can be assigned to more than one
calling group.
The delay announcement device should not be programmed as a calling
group member.
Only one external alert can be assigned to each calling group. An external
