Backing Up the Console Operator
Your system manager can program your overflow calls to ring to one or more 
designated phone.
Example
The marketing department just launched an infomercial about Widget, Inc.’s 
self-cleaning bathtubs. Consequently, the phones are “ringing off the hook”. Chris 
answers Pat’s overflow calls at his own phone.
