I have an IP 406 with two 30-port and one 16-port expansion units. There's a T1 line connected to the unit that is used for incoming/outgoing calls.
When customers call the main line, they ring to a group of three receptionists, or, failing that, go into a queue. The problem is that when the queue is full, incoming calls get dead air. It'd be preferable if they got a busy signal. It may turn out that it's even more preferable that they get forwarded to a voicemail box to either play a recording or take a message.
The second question I have is possibly even more elementary. When callers are waiting in the queue, a message comes on every ten seconds or so to tell them their call is important and to keep waiting. How can I change this message and also change the frequency at which it's replayed? I inherited this system and didn't set it up in the first place, and I can't figure out where I can change this.
Thanks for all the help!
