■ If Automatic VMS Cover (#310) is programmed for an extension, that
extension will normally be covered by PARTNER MAIL. However, if a user
wants to temporarily turn off VMS Cover, the user can use this feature to
program a VMS Cover button to turn voice mail coverage on and off.
■
If an extension has VMS Cover and Do Not Disturb activated, intercom and
transferred calls are routed immediately to PARTNER MAIL.
