Call Routing question

[SUSD]

3300 MXe 2-Clustered Rel 4.2 / 10.2.0.26_2  EMB-VM 6-SX200 10-ASU

I can't seem to come up with the right options for what I want here.

Ext 7001 if no answer, Ring to Ext 7002 and if 7002 does not answer, go to 7002's Mailbox.

I get to 7002 ok, but then I can only get the Message Center, not the mailbox ?

I think the Normal, This, Last options are what I'm not getting the right combination.

Any suggestions appreciated.

Thanks.

With voice mail, the mailbox it tries to put the message in is the originally call vm box.
I would assume you don't have a mailbox for 7001 and that's why you're getting the message center.

Again, this is probably where you need to break the intergration because the system will try and put the call into the 7001 mailbox (which I assume does not exist if you get message centre).

So what you need to do is create a nametag HG as *7002. then forward 7001 using  call reroute first alt to *7002 and using call reroute always route *7002 to the voicemail. This will drop your caller into 7002's mailbox.

I am assuming you are rerouting an external call?

Hi X-man,

This is for internal calls.  7001 is Housekeeping,  7002 is the Manager. If one of his staff doesn't answer a call, he wants the call to come to his phone, then if no one is around, he gets the vmail message.

Maybe there is a better way to set this up ?  I'm was trying to keep these existing extensions that have been established for some time.

Thanks.

I've never tried it with internal calls but may be worth a try. You keep the existing extensions and VM boxes just add the nametag hunt group..

call flow is 7001----7002------*7002----7002 VM.

Hello X-man,

I did make the name tag HG. I put in call routing:

7001 always = no reroute so it will ring here first
7002 for first alt and it rings here after 7001
*7002 in second alt and nothing happens, the call just rings continuous at 7002

I tried using THIS and LAST options, but no change.

Any ideas ?

Thanks.

*7002 should be first alt for 7002 but actually not sure that will work now...  *7002 is rerouted always to VM
