Do Not Disturb (F01)
A Do Not Disturb button can be programmed on a user's phone to prevent
calls for that extension from audibly alerting (lights still flash). Subscribers who
have VMS Extension Coverage—either automatic or manual—can use this
communications system feature when they want calls sent to the voice
messaging system immediately.
Group Call Distribution (#206)
Group Call Distribution assigns outside lines to Hunt Groups. If you want an
outside line to ring directly into PARTNER Voice Messaging, instead of being
answered and transferred by the receptionist, assign the line to Hunt Group 7,
which is used exclusively for PARTNER Voice Messaging.
Line Coverage Extension (#208)
Line Coverage Extension identifies an extension as the "owner" of a specific
line, so the extension can activate Call Coverage or VMS Cover for that line.
When a call comes in on a covered line, the system routes the call directly to
PARTNER Voice Messaging if the call is not answered. The caller has the
option of leaving a message in the general mailbox, selecting one of the four
subscriber mailboxes and leaving a message, or transferring to another
extension, or dialing [ 
0
 ] to reach the receptionist.
Line ownership typically is assigned to personal lines or to lines to be used for
outside access to the PARTNER Voice Messaging.
Voice Mailbox Tranfer (F14)
A Voice Mailbox Transfer button can be programmed on a user's phone to
transfer callers directly to PARTNER Voice Messaging without ringing the
extension first. This feature is useful when a user is handling calls for a
subscriber who is not at his or her desk.
