Call Flow Question

[jherlitz]

I have 4 remote offices that only have 1 secretary.  So instead of just having the main line only ring to her I have setup a ring group.  So the extension for the main line is 5410, I created a ring group 5400.  I added ext 5417 to it and set the overflow point to #5410.

Now it works, if you call 5410 that phone rings for 6 rings, then it rings to 5417 for a set amount of rings.  Now here is where I fail.  If in the ring group I set the overflow point to just 5410 it rings back to the main line.  If I set it to #5410 I get the general message center greeting.  Whereas I want it to go directly to voicemail for 5410.

How can I get that to work properly?  Oh and a side note I am using nupoint.

Thank you for any advice...

Try changing #5410 to *5410

He is using nupoint. I don't know what #5410 is? an extension, a hunt group. Either way, likely adding the ring group lead 5400 as an alternate extension in mailbox 5410 will get what he wants

He is using nupoint.

Ah.  In that case change the #5410 to any other number without a * or # and add it into the alternate extension number in the mailbox of 5410.

Thanks for replies.  I got it working.  I tried to duplicate one that was done a long time ago.  So here is what I forgot to do.  Under Hunt Groups I added a Terminal hunt group with type of NameTag.  Then went into call rerouting for it and send them straight to voicemail.

Works now...

Thanks,
