Changing Group Coverage Assignments

Changing Group
Coverage Assignments
Use this procedure to assign or remove an extension from a coverage group.
NOTE:
In Release 4.1 and later systems, you can change, on an extension-by-
extension basis, the number of rings at a sender's extension before a call is
sent to Group Coverage receivers. For programming information, see
Chapter 3, "Programming Procedures," in System Programming and
"Changing Coverage Delay Options" on page 6–49
NOTE:
In Release 6.1 and later systems, a calling group on one MERLIN
LEGEND system can provide coverage for extensions to another MERLIN
LEGEND system. In addition, the voice messaging system on one MERLIN
LEGEND system can be shared by other MERLIN LEGEND systems. This
is called "Centralized Voice Messaging." For this coverage and for
Centralized Voice Messaging, the systems must be directly connected by
tie or PRI tandem trunks, and all systems must be in Hybrid/PBX mode.
See the Network Reference for details.

receivers for the coverage groups are assigned through extension or
centralized telephone programming.
A maximum of 30 coverage groups is allowed, each with an unlimited number of
members. Up to eight receivers can be assigned per coverage group.
An extension can be a sender in only one group; it can be a receiver for more than
one coverage group. A calling group can be assigned as a receiver for up to 30
coverage groups. In Hybrid/PBX mode only, the QCC queue can be a receiver for
up to 30 coverage groups.
