Configuring a Call Coverage Point 87
You can configure the Call Forward, Fall Back to Coverage feature
through the VCX User Interface only. This feature cannot be configured
through the Telephone User Interface.
To set up call forwarding, log in to the VCX User Interface, select the
Calling Features option, then access the Call Forwarding tabbed page.
Enable the appropriate forwarding conditions and click Save.
If you configure and enable any call forwarding option through the VCX
User Interface, the option becomes effective immediately.
Your administrator may prevent you from configuring Call Forward All,
Call Forward Ring No Answer, or Call Forward Busy to an external (outside
the enterprise) number. See your administrator for information.

timeout value is reached. The default timeout value is 20 seconds.
Note that any enabled Call Forward settings take precedence over Call
Coverage Point settings. Furthermore, the Call Forward - Ring No
Answer feature also has a ring timeout value. The default timeout
value for this feature is 15 seconds. The Ring No Answer timeout value
has priority over the call coverage timeout value. If the Ring No
Answer timeout value is greater than the call coverage timeout value,
the call coverage timer is ignored so the call can be forwarded to the
Call Forward destination.
■
The call cannot be answered because the destination is busy or
unreachable (logged out or disconnected from the network).
The default call coverage point is voice mail. However, your administrator
can specify a different default for all subscribers by creating a Predefined
rule, or you can set your own call coverage point by creating a User rule.
There are three possible call coverage points:
■
Voice mail (the default)
The Call Forwarding Fall Back option can only be enabled when the
call coverage is set to the Send to Voice Mail option. The Call
