VMS Coverage Rings

You can program the number of times that an extension will ring before the call goes to voicemail.

If an extension has call coverage and voicemail active, covered calls ring at the covering extension for the specified number of call coverage rings:
If the covering extension does not answer, the call is routed to the voice mailbox of the extension that activated Call Coverage after the specified number of VMS Cover Rings.
If the covering extension has Do Not Disturb active, the call is routed immediately to the voicemail.
One ring is approximately 5 seconds.
For IP Office Essential Edition - IP Office Essential Edition - Basic Edition 6.1 and higher+ the option 0 for immediate voicemail is available. 0 is the only value useable for phantom extensions. If selected it has the following effects.
For a call that would have otherwise have alerted at the extension, the call now goes immediately to voicemail.
If the extension has call forwarding set, the forwarded call will continue ringing at the forwarding target rather than going to voicemail.
If the extension is the target for another extension's call forwarding, the call will go immediately to the forwarding extension's voicemail.
