I have a MICS with a Call Pilot. The customer had an electric company planned power outage. When the power came up the station programming on the sets went back to default. I've had a return a few times to get everything back to normal the system supports 3 different business. I was there yesterday to fix this problem.

When you transfer a call to a user and the user doesn't pick up it wouldn't forward to their voice mail, it would recall back to the person that initiated the transfer. Simple fix right?

I go into all of the sets and program the voice mail extention (250) as the "transfer to if no answer" destination on all of the sets, the default is set for 4 rings. This company doesn't have a traditional receptionist, there are a few stations scattered around the office that also ring inbound calls. Now when a call comes in if it is not answered the call forwards to random extentions voicemail. The voice mail is set up to answer with a greeting after 8 rings. I had to remove the "transfer to" programming on all of the sets that ring. Now if no one answers after 4 rings at least goes to the general delivery mail box now, (not what I want it to do but better than being answered at random mail boxes). The call never goes to the appropriate company greeting even though the station that the general delivery mail box is associated with also has the "transfer to if no answer" set to default which is "none".

I await your expertise.
 
transfer to if no answer"
No such thing!
You mean Call Forward No Answer (CFNA) I hope?

Any set that Rings on main business lines must have their CFNA Ring count set to less then AA/Lines Ring Count....you AA is 8 and your CFNA is less at 4 so its wrong!
Any set that Rings on main business lines must not have Call Forward Busy (CFB) programmed, should be set to NONE
Make sure any DRT or Transfer Callback settings are not interfering as well.

Curlycord, sorry, yes, forward no answer. Currently everyone that rings is set to none. So why doesn't it go to a greeting? It just goes to the general delivery mail.
 
It sounds like you have a set that is ringing on incoming lines, has cfna to vm dn, and it doesn't have a mailbox. Try setting the aa to answer lines after three rings and then test to see if the aa picks up with a greeting. If that works you have a rogue set that has cfna programmed and you will have to go through every set in the system to find it, and remove the cfna.
 
You said it goes to random mailboxes in your first post but now you say its just general delivery? confused!
Although it maybe just picking the GD first most of the time.

And first post "its when you transfer calls to users the call will bounce back"
-Transfer Callback can = Yes or No and also you set the ring count.
-If you tell AA to pickup at 8 rings but the Transfer Callback is set to 6 (which is default) then of course it will bounced back because 6 will beat 8 so make Transfer 10.

"Now when a call comes in if it is not answered the call forwards to random extensions voicemail"
-This would be the DRT Delay setting....change that to 10 as well.

Its all down to your timers it sounds like.

You should think about Hunt Groups as well, since they ignore CFNA settings you could then program CFNA on those ringing sets.
