Trying to change the number of rings before my phone goes to Voice Mail on the Meridian (Nortel) M5316. Only two rings currently so I miss a lot of calls. Thanks!

This would be forward no answer and forward busy. The settings are under the Capabilities section.

Do you mean Voice Mail?

Have your office manager or on site admin change it or call your local vendor for admin training or cheat sheet.
You can also get required info from any Norstar Setup and Operation Guide

Hi there

The Nortel and any other of PBX come with the voice mail, and you configure the voice mail as a phone ring.... If you can not pick up your phone in 3 time of ring then automatically your phone transfer on Voice mail and there as you setup..........In voice mail it asked which number you want to call and say the details Example: - Dail 1 to Drawing Room Dial 2 for Dinning Hall Dial 3 for Bed Room..


You just configure you voice mail system and solve you problem.


Thanks

press *94, then press the number of rings you want 1-9. The tone will change and thats it.

This is possible but it is a feature of your phone system and not the phone. You can have this phone connected to a few different Norstar phone systems that program differently. Your first step is to figure out the model number of the Norstar, Nortel, Meridian phone system you have. You will then need a programming manual for your system.

 

You probably had a company install and program this system and it may be easier to have that same or a similar company fix this problem. Programming these systems is not easy, so you either have to decide to learn the system and deal with minor changes like this yourself or pay someone else to do them.
