Features
Coverage
Selective Coverage
When an extension has calls covered, all of its eligible calls are covered unless
the sender uses one of the following coverage options:
Coverage Off turns off all coverage. (If a Group Coverage sender uses
Coverage Off, other telephone users can use Group Pickup to answer the
sender's calls; however, they cannot use Individual Pickup.)
To turn coverage off or on, the sender must have a programmed Coverage
Off button.
Coverage Inside prevents or allows coverage of inside calls:
— With Coverage Inside Off, only outside calls are covered, including
— With Coverage Inside On, inside and outside calls are covered.
Coverage VMS Off prevents outside calls and private network calls from
being sent to voice mail. With Coverage VMS Off, only inside calls are
covered by the assigned voice mail system 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 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
(see
— If the Coverage VMS Off button is active and lit, the Night Service with
— If the Coverage VMS Off button is already inactive and unlit, it remains
calls from another system in the network.
To use Coverage Inside Off/On, the sender must use the programming
code or select it from the display of a display telephone (using
) in extension programming. It cannot be programmed on a
button.
