Changing Coverage Delay Options 

A sender can also be part of a Coverage group whose calls are covered by 
individuals, operators, or a calling group (an option is often used to provide voice 
messaging system coverage). 

 summarizes the ways that coverage 

calls are handled when Group and Individual Coverage are combined.

Secondary Cover 
Ring Delay

2 rings

1–6 rings

Release 4.1 and later systems, programmable for 
each extension. In addition to the fixed Secondary 
Coverage Delay Interval (2 rings), this timer sets the 
delay before a Secondary Cover button programmed 
for Delay Ring begins to ring audibly. This setting 
does not affect Primary or Group Coverage call 
delivery.

Secondary Cover button programmed for Immediate 
Ring, when sender also has Individual Coverage to a 
Primary Cover button.

In Release 4.1 and later systems, the delay (in 
addition to the Secondary Cover Ring Delay setting 
for the sender) before a Secondary Cover button 
programmed for Delay Ring begins to ring audibly.

Retry Timing 
Interval

5 sec

Fixed

Repetition interval for trying to send calls to group 
coverage when no receivers are available; continues

hangs up).
