Making another EXT answer Voice Mail?

[m0zart]

When configuring an EXT to foward to another EXT, is there a way to make the receiving EXT answer the call with its voice mail?

Special settings on the Octel system or Definity side?


Thanks.

To allow this to work between our Nortel Meridian 1 and our Octel 350, the Nortel phones have to be provisioned with Secondary Forwarding Allowed. I would say the change required is on the PBX side.

not on the definity is this just for one ext number or do you want it system wide?

With a definity, u can send the call thru a vector by putting a VDN in the cover path and send it to another extensions voice mail.

is this for 250/350 or 200/300?
