Immediate Call Handling

Immediate and Delayed Ringing on PARTNER Plus, PARTNER II, and PARTNER ACS (Prior to Release 3.0)

In the PARTNER Plus, PARTNER II, and PARTNER ACS (prior to Release 3.0), you can have both Immediate and Delayed Ring lines, even though the VMS Hunt Delay is set for all lines. To do this, you must program the following:

• Use VMS Hunt Delay (#506) to set the lines to ring immediately for Automated Attendant Service.
  
  
• For the lines on which you want Delayed Ring, select Option 3, VMS Line Cover under the Group Call Distribution (#206) feature. This automatically assigns a 4-ring delay to the line.
  
  
• Program the following for PARTNER Messaging:
  
  • Assign the Line Ownership to be the Automated Attendant extension.
    
  • Create the Automated Attendant extension.
    
  • Set the Schedule Controller to follow the Weekly Business Schedule.
