I have a Norstar MICS 1.1 system that the customer wants to redirect the ringing to 6 different station phones if attendant is unavailable. Right now I've got it call forwarded on attendant phone to ring another phone if attendant is unavailable after 2 rings. and have setup another phone as prime and to answer after 4 rings. but this is still not what she wants. what she really wants is some kind of call coverage to reach 6 different people in different buildings. I told her about taas which would ring on ext ringer or buzzer and i could program a button so anyone could press and answer the inc call but she;s not liking the extra ringing in these other area's. Does someone know of a way I could provide this type of ringing coverage. by the way they all have voicemail that answers after 4 rings and when busy except for the 2 that I'm using for cf and ring to prime they are set at 6. They don't want auto attendant except after hours. they would be willing to upgrade software to get this but don't know if even 7.1 will do me any good for this want. thanks in advance for any help and if I can't do this for her I guess I can make buzzers real soft for taas.

Can't think of a way to do that on v1.1, but v7.1 would give you hunt groups which should fit the bill perfectly.

I've thought about an upgrade to 7.1 but i have a NAM 2.0 and it's not compatible with the upgrade. If i upgrade to 4.1 hunt groups are available but I'm not sure if the NAM 2.0 is compatible with 4.1 does someone know? If i had hunt groups I could assign all these 6 stations to the the huntgroup and then call forward calls to this huntgroup dn. Is this correct?
If you upgrade to R4.1 the NAM needs to be at R4.0 or higher, so you might as well upgrade them to R7.1. Refurbished R4.1 NAMs are still available at low cost. If your customer doesn't have more than 48 mailboxes you could replace the NAM with a Flash 4 V1.9 or higher. The Flash 4 has 180 minutes of storage time. If that's not enough storage time then you'll need to get them a CallPilot 100 or 150.
