Instruction manual

Transfer Return Rings (#105)
Description
This System Programming procedure, which applies to all system extensions,
defines the number of times a transferred call rings before it goes to the transfer
return extension.
Related Features
■
If you program Hunt Group Extensions (#505), make sure this setting is
four or more rings. This setting ensures that the call will continue hunting to
other group extensions if it is not answered by the first group extension
where it rings.
■
By default, transferred calls return to the originating extension if they are not
answered. Use
Transfer Return Extension (#306) to specify a different
return extension for the extension that transfers a call.
■
If an extension has VMS Cover active, unanswered calls to the extension
will be routed to PARTNER MAIL and not the transfer return extension.
Considerations
■
If you have a fax machine or an answering machine connected to the
system, set Transfer Return Rings to a number greater than the number of
rings at which these devices answer. Doing so prevents a call transferred to
a fax or answering machine from returning before it is answered.
■
The system does not start counting the number of rings for a transferred call
(to determine when it goes to the transfer return extension if it is not
answered) until the transfer originator hangs up.
