Setting the VMS Transfer Return Interval

The VMS Transfer Return Interval is the number of times a call transferred by the MERLIN Messaging System to extensions (without coverage) will ring before the call is redirected to the Transfer Redirect Extension.

If

Then

All stations are covered by the MERLIN Messaging System

You must set the VMS Transfer Return Interval to a value > the Group Coverage Ring Delay

Any station has both Personal Coverage (Primary only or Primary and Secondary) and group coverage by the MERLIN Messaging System

You must set the VMS Transfer Return Interval to a value > the sum of the Group Coverage Ring Delay and Primary Cover Ring Delay


Note:
  • The factory setting is four rings.
  • The VMS Transfer Return Interval is not indicated on any communications System Planning Form.
  • Recommendation: Make the VMS Transfer Return Interval = the Transfer Return Time
