Configuring a Call Coverage Point
107
To set up call forwarding, log in to the VCX User Interface, select the
Calling Features
option, then access the
Call Forwarding
tabbed page.
Enable the appropriate forwarding conditions and click
Save
.
If you configure and enable any call forwarding option through the VCX
User Interface, the option becomes effective the next time your phone
registers with the VCX call processor (ask you administrator about
registration intervals).
Your administrator may prevent you from configuring Call Forward All,
Call Forward Ring No Answer, or Call Forward Busy to an external (outside
the enterprise) number. See your administrator for information.
Configuring a Call
Coverage Point
A call coverage point determines how the VCX system treats an
unanswered call. A call is considered unanswered for the following
reasons:
■
The call rings and is not answered before the call coverage ring
timeout value is reached. The default timeout value is 20 seconds.
Note that Call Forward settings take precedence over Call Coverage
Point settings. Furthermore, the Call Forward - Ring No Answer
feature also has a ring timeout value. The default timeout value for
this feature is also 20 seconds. The Ring No Answer timeout value has
priority over the call coverage timeout value. If the Ring No Answer
timeout value is greater than the coverage timeout value, the
coverage timer is ignored so the call can be forwarded to the Call
Forward destination.
■
The call cannot be answered because the destination is busy or
unreachable (logged out or disconnected from the network).
The default call coverage point is voice mail. However, your administrator
can specify a different default for all subscribers, or you can set your own
call coverage point. There are four possible call coverage points:
■
Voice mail (the default)
■
The Auto Attendant
■
A telephone number (internal or external)
■
No coverage
