We have an NEC Electra Elite system. Most of the phone are set so that when an internal phone dials a different extension, it beeps once and then you can talk directly to the person on the other end. (Voice over) It does not ring and you don't have to pick up (assuming your MIC is on). We have two phones in the office that ring when you dial their extension though. I know that you can dial "1" after their extension so it's just voice over, but how can we program it to be voice over immediately, instead of having to dial a "1"?

Jennifer209, if you press FEATURE + the button VM is pre-programmed on what does it display? It should show the extension number pilot to VM. If you call it directly, what happens? If you get no answer calling it directly, your VM may be down.

Kaait, is it getting into the VM that's the problem, or doing things inside the mailbox that is the problem?

SOURCE: Internal Call "Voice Call" and does not ring

You can toggle each individual phone extension as to whether or not it recieves a "voice" call or a "ring-first" call.

At the extension, press "SPEAKER - 60" it will display the mode. Press the * (asterick) key to toggle between the modes. Then press SPEAKER again to set.

SOURCE: Changing amount of rings when going to voicemail

The call forwarding was turned off. To turn on, press speaker, enter 793, press 1(for set), press extention number, and enter 300. If you have call forwarding on and are looking for more rings, do the above steps except press 2 (for clear).

SOURCE: How to change time on NEC Electra Elite IPK? I

You have to be on the root phone or "first phone".
To check various phones -Hit {feature} 4.
Should display 100= TEL 01. Once on the first phone then use {feature} 9 #.
Time will flash at top of display and can be adjusted.

If you are not on the first phone you will get error at the top of the display. Leave the hand set on the hook.
