You cannot program a button for Individual Coverage to cover calls for an extension located on another system.
An Individual Coverage receiver, who covers calls for a sender, has a programmed button that corresponds to the sender's extension. A given sender can have up to eight Individual Coverage receivers covering calls. A receiver, who must have a multiline telephone, can have separate buttons for up to eight senders, but can have only one button to provide Individual Coverage for a given sender.
A button for Individual Coverage can be programmed as either Primary Cover or Secondary Cover. The Secondary option provides a 2-ring delay, the Secondary Coverage Delay Interval, to allow the sender to answer before the receiver.

The System Manager sets additional ring delays for each extension, rather than programming only system-wide settings. The Secondary Cover Ring Delay is applied in addition to the fixed system-wide Secondary Coverage Delay Interval; it does not affect Secondary or Group Coverage call delivery. The Primary Cover Ring Delay option also permits extension-by-extension control of ring delays on Primary Cover buttons programmed for Delay Ring. The Group Coverage Ring Delay option allows the System Manager to control the delay before a given sender's covered calls are sent to Group Coverage receivers, whether or not Group and Individual Coverage are combined.
The following table summarizes the system-wide and extension-by-extension settings that the System Manager programs. In addition, a user or System Manager can program Cover buttons with Ring Timing options: Immediate Ring, Delay Ring, or No Ring.
