3.2 Call Coverage

Call coverage is used to redirect all intercom, transferred, DID and outside calls on lines assigned to you to another
extension. When call coverage is in use, covered calls are routed to the covering extension after a specified number of
rings set by the system administrator.
· Group calls, forwarded calls, transfer-return calls and calls to doorphone alert extensions are not covered.
· A single extension can cover multiple extensions, however an extension can have only one covering extension.
· If you activate call coverage at your extension, for calls on a line appearance button, you still can intercept a call
rerouted to coverage by pressing the button.
· You can program call coverage on a programmable button. Use a button with lights if you want a visual indication
when your calls are being covered. When the button indicator is on, your calls are being covered; when off, call
coverage is not active.
· If both call coverage and do not disturb are on, covered calls go immediately to the covering extension without
ringing the covered extension. Similarly, if call coverage is on and a call begins to ring, you can turn on
Disturb to send that call immediately for coverage.
