How do I change the amount of rings before it goes into VM?

Look at your call forwarding or divert settings, change the settings to cancel all diverts or to divert to voicemail only when the phone is off or not answered. Chances are that all calls are currently being diverted to VM

This is just for your phone ringing when it's dialed, not for outside lines ringing on your phone.
From your intercom, dial *7104 (CF No Ans) 500 (if that's your VM extension) # That will flash your FWD/DND light to tell you it's forwarded on No Ans. Now on the intercom, dial *71324 The 713 part tells your phone to forward after xx seconds. 24 is about 4 rings. You can adjust the timing using 6 seconds as a ring cycle.

Please tell me how to change the number of rings on my Starplus STS before it goes to VM. I'm dying! It goes to VM after 3 rings and were missing tons of calls. Thank you!

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).

On the main base, press the menu/clock button 3 times, it will give you 3 options...2 times, 4 times, and 6 times, press set.

Feature **266344, PW: 23646, Press top arrow until you can enter your ext. Press the top arrow again until you see "Fwd no answer" and press top arrow again until you see "Fwd to: None" and choose change. Enter your VM box. Press the bottom arrow (down) on right and see "Forward Delay" and change that number then press rls.

The phone you have can be used on different Avaya phone systems that program differently. It is certainly something that can be changed but you would need to know which system you have first. There is a call-forward no answer timer that send the call to another station or voice mail box etc.. after so many seconds. That is what needs to be changed.

All the manuals are available at www.avaya.com but again, you would need to know which system you have before looking for the manual.
