Lucent Technologies 4.1 User Manual

This System Programming procedure identifies an extension as the “owner” of a

specific outside line, so the extension can activate Call Coverage or VMS Cover
for that line.

An extension’s “owned” line is eligible for coverage only if Line Ringing is
set to Immediate Ring or Delayed Ring and Line Access Restriction (#302)
is set to No Restriction or In Only.

Use Call Coverage to redirect an extension’s calls on owned lines to the
covering extension.

Use Call Coverage Rings (#116) to specify the number of times a call rings
at an extension before it is sent to the covering extension.

Use VMS Cover or Automatic VMS Cover (#310) to redirect the extension’s
calls on owned lines to the voice messaging system.

Use VMS Cover Rings (#117) to specify the number of times a call rings at
the owner’s extension before it is sent to the voice messaging system.

Users with Call Coverage or VMS Cover turned on can Send All Calls
immediately to their covering extension or voice mailbox by activating Do
Not Disturb.

Only one owner can be assigned to a specific line. However, multiple lines
can be owned by the same extension.

This feature provides an alternative method of routing outside calls to the

voice messaging system for Call Answer Service.

This feature has no effect on the CO Line Ownership procedure in PARTNER

MAIL or PARTNER MAIL VS.
