Voicemail is not picking up for incoming calls...

A couple of things, but first. When you TRANSFER a call to your boss using the transfer button, he key to getting rid of the call is to hang up. But that's not your problem. When we install voice mail systems, we reserve 3 buttons; one for VM TRANSFER, one for 2 WAY TRANSFER, and one for VM RECORD. It's easier to link you to the OM of a TDA system than explain it, so here's the link http://www.public.carl.airpost.net/Pana/TDA/200_TDA_OM_06-121.pdf

Pdf page 170 will give you the table for setting up your 94,91 and 90 codes for the above features.
Basically, you press PROGRAM, the button, and dial, for example, 94 500 SAVE to store the VMT . You use it by pressing that button while you on the call (no hold) and either dial your boss' extension or press his DSS button. If you use the 2-way transfer, you can actually put his number under one button and carry on a 2-way conversation with the outside party. Kind of like you would do with the old 'pink slip' messages.

Haven't you solved this yet? When we install a system, we reserve THREE buttons for voice mail functions. One is VM Transfer, one is 2 Way Transfer, and one is VM Record. In order you pick 3 buttons press PROGRAM one of the buttons and dial in order 94 500 STORE 01 500 STORE and 90 500 STORE, assuming your voice mail is on the default extension of 500. To send a call to someone's voice mail you press VMT and his DSS button or dial his extension and hang up. The outside party will get all of his greeting. If you want to prompt the user, like you would if you were taking a pink slip, you press 2W Transfer and his extension and carry on a conversation with the outside party. The message records in their mailbox as a new message. If you want to silently record into your OWN box, you press the VM Record button and your conversation is recorded into your own box as a new or old message, depending on how the system is set up.

There are other variations, including a single button transfer into someone's mailbox and some other features that are covered in you telephone sytsem OM or User's manual under Customizing your phone.

when in the call press the transfer button then you will hear a dial tone. Enter that person's extension and if they have their voicmail set up on their extension it should pick up and the call is transferred to voicemail

Sounds like your system lost its programming so now the voicemail ports are just like extensions, they are ringing and picking up. And since the voicemail doesn't know where the phone systemn is, it just transfers all calls to the lowest numbered extension (10)

The system needs to be reprogrammed completely.

I'm not familiar wiht Edge terminology, but the idea is you set the transfer recall time to something less than the call forward to voicemail. It means that any calls to voicemail have to be direct transfers and there may be some auto attendant issues.

try transferring the calls from ur mobile to the voicemail when u r not available....
in call settings u might have an option of forwarding the incoming call after so many particular number of rings... forward the calls to ur voicemail numbers using this and then u ll have the numbers in ur recieved calls list.
this might work but is only a temporary solution

Your voicemail thinks that it is ringing six times. The time that it takes to transfer to the extensions counts. Whiloe it seems that there is a lapse the system actually is using enough time to ring six times total. If you need longer ring time at the extension, take in account the transfer time and set it to pick up after 8 or 9 rings. It will actually only ring six. You just have to trick the system a little.

Power cable needs to plugged in (or the power adapter is defective).

I understand that you would like to bypass Auto Attendant for your lines.
On extension 10 or 11

Test.

I found the solution in some notes I have. Press Speaker, 43, 250, Speaker and the voicemail will activate. 250 being our central voicemailbox, you will need to know what your company's is.
