If you're routing calls directly to the AA then it should answer on 1st ring.
If it's not, then check the COS of your trunks to be sure that it's not expecting caller ID when it's not being delivered.
If you're talking about voice mail rather than AA then it's the no answer timer in the COS of the phone being forwarded.

Hi Ralph,
thank you for your response.
Our setup is a bit convoluted. I'm a mitel novice at best so I'm not sure why it is this way. we have a direct dial number that is (through system speed calls) directed to an internal number that is a VM Multilevel Auto Attendant. when the number is called (both to the external # or internal #) there are 5 rings before the auto attendant answers to give the caller the menu options. I thought it was a class of service option to change the ring time but I cannot find anywhere to change a class of service for the VM multi-level auto attendant number. Or am I going about it wrong?
