How do I change the number of rings before the voice mail picks up on the TVS50 voice mail system

Changing the vms hunt delay on a Partner ACS system is done on either ext 10 or 11. At one of those ext's press the feature key and "00"
next press the left hand intercom twice
the display should say system programming
enter in "#505"
the display should say VMS Hunt Delay and mode:
enter 1 for day mode or 2 for night mode
enter line you want to program in 2 digit format (line 1 =01)

When it stops ringing, the caller goes to your voice mail, right?

If so, then you need to contact your phone company and have them change your "Ring Cycle" -- that's the number of rings before the voice mail system picks up.

Some phone companies have a way for you to do this yourself from their website, other require that you call up the customer service line. Either way, the thing you want to adjust is your voice mail ring cycle.

Before the Auto Attendant picks up or an extensions voicemail?

Check your voice mail settings are enabled for no anwer/ busy.

Then check your voice mail number is entered correctly and not disbled by phoning your voicemal

In my VZ wireless I have to change it by calling tech support.
Your carrier may not offer it. Since your phone needs to be found, the number of rings you hear and the intercept time may be different. The stock answer is "if your cell is close to a tower it will work after X rings".

You have to change the rings from the voice mail server. If you don't know your way around the server, its best to get a local NEC tech although it is fairly simple to navigate. Depends on your skill. Typical default password for the server is NEC

This is all programmed in the phone system settings. Your phone can be used on different Avaya phone systems (AT&T, Lucent is Avaya now) and you can also have different voice mail systems. They all program differently.

Sounds like your phone port is not programmed to use voice mail. You can have your phone port programmed to do many different things if nobody answers. Mostly you have the call transfered to another station after so many rings. That other station (extension) could be the operator, a calling group, a voice mail box, etc... Some systems allow you to change the number of rings on a per-phone basis, others only have one no-answer timer for all calls.

You can get all the manuals from www.avaya.com for free but you need to know which system and version you have first. Programming can get very complicated and you may find it easier to hire a local phone installation company that is familiar with your system to do the changes for you.

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