Handling incoming calls
Setting up basic call coverage
This chapter shows you how to set up call coverage for incoming calls to be sure 
that incoming calls are answered when the called party is not available.
Basic incoming call coverage:
provides for automatic redirection of calls to alternate destinations when 
the called party is not available or not accepting calls
provides the order in which DEFINITY ECS redirects calls to alternate 
phones or terminals
establishes up to 6 alternate termination points for an incoming call
establishes redirection criteria that govern when a call redirects
redirects calls to a local telephone number (extension) or an off-switch 
telephone number (public network)
Call coverage allows an incoming call to redirect from its original destination to 
an extension, hunt group, attendant group, uniform call distribution (UCD) group, 
direct department calling (DDC) group, automatic call distribution (ACD) split, 
coverage answer group, AUDIX, or vector for a station not accepting calls.
