Features
Coverage
Coverage VMS Off prevents outside calls from being sent to voice mail.
With Coverage VMS Off, only inside calls are covered by the assigned
voice mail system (VMS) calling group. Outside calls go to any other points
of coverage. Coverage VMS Off is available only in Release 2.0 and later
systems. To use this feature, the sender must have a programmed
Coverage VMS Off button.
In Release 4.1 and later systems, the system manager can set the Night
Service feature to control the active/inactive status of programmed
Coverage VMS Off buttons at extensions in a Night Service group. When
the system is put into Night Service operation, all Coverage VMS Off
buttons are automatically deactivated, so that the assigned voice
messaging system (VMS) calling group can cover eligible calls with the
normal ringing delay. When normal business-hours operation resumes and
Night Service operation ceases, the programmed Coverage VMS Off
buttons are automatically turned on; inside calls are sent to voice mail and
outside calls go to any other coverage receivers.
A person at an extension can override Night Service control of Coverage
VMS Off buttons by pressing the Coverage VMS Off button at the
extension. However, at the next transition into or out of Night Service, the
Coverage VMS Off button follows Night Service status (inactive during
Night Service operation, active during normal business-hours operation).
Consider the following example where a Coverage VMS Off button has
been manually pressed when Night Service with Coverage Control goes on
