Increase amount of phone rings

[Mars0116]

I have Avaya Partner Release 7.0 and was wondering how do I increase the amount of rings on my phone so I have enough time to answer before it goes into VM. My current extension is 16.

Thanks.

VMS Coverage Rings, #321, controls the number of rings before a mailbox covers an extension.

VMS Hunt Delay, #506, controls the number of rings before the Auto Attendant answers an incoming call.

Programming For VMS Cover Rings

To change the number of times calls ring before being sent to the voice messaging system:

1. Press FEATURE 00 SYSTEM PROGRAM SYSTEM PROGRAM #321 at extension 10 or 11.

2. At the extension prompt, enter an extension number.

(The Cover Rings prompt appears: "VMS Cover Rings XX
3 Rings")

3. Enter a setting (1–9; 3 is the factory setting), or press D until the correct value appears:

If it ain't broke, I haven't fixed it yet.
