Call-Forward to VM Requirements?

[MWM]

What is required to forward calls from an 816 to a TVS50?

The vm talks to the 816 and the mbs are initialized, set up via the phone with greetings, etc. But no success forwarding calls into vm. (Forwarding is so simple on a Nortel, but I am new to Panasonic.)

I have been thru the manuals page by page but still am missing some setting. I did get a system data dump which very helpfully lists all the settings in page views. But whatever is wrong does not leap out at me.

I have all the extensions and the vm ports set the same, group 8. VM uses default extensions #s 165/166. Something to do with matching jack numbers/extension numbers/vm ports/vm extensions? The overall logic here escapes me.

All calls are ring-no answer.... seems like it should just be a matter of forwarding into the vm ports, 165/166, n'est pas?

I also seem to miss a simple button for call-forwarding. I have a button programmed for FWD/DID but it has no effect--no light, no forwarding. I think I need something like: Forward NA/Busy to this ext: 165. Right?

Thanks, guys.

hi mwm

if you want you can place the whole command on a spare ..co.. button

press program
dial 99
press the button you want it on
( do not use a button that is in use for your lines( do not use the fwd/dnd button)

dial 2
type above command thanks to CWC3( ie: 714165 then # or 715165# )
press autodial/store
done
for ref: the fwd/dnd button is for indacation as to if your phone is on forward or not)flashing if on ...
also
to cancle a fwd command
offhook
press fwd/dnd button then dial 0
