Also @justin867 can you add tags to your topics. Tags make searching ML so much easier.

OK, i'm new on mitel rerouting. Everything i see here is 1 for all extension numbers. how to configure this?
-
First we would need to know what version of "Database Programming" you have. But look at the extension you're wanting to change and look for "timers"

The ring count of "3" is more about the amount of time that is passed. After X seconds do Y.
This is in the timing section of the PBX (possibly in the extension for a more targeted time entry).
In North America, a "ring" is a 2/4 second cycle 2 seconds of ring and 4 seconds of silence.
So 3 rings in 18 seconds. -
I just looked in my Mitel setup - I've never been asked to do this - and the call forwarding path has options - but nothing I can really make heads or tails of.
-
i cannot find the timer, and it seems i need to configure a set/group first, then point to that set/group and assign the extension number. its not an on/off field and point to extension number.

You can create hunt groups, if A rings without answer go to B if B doesn't answer goto Voicemail.
That is an option for sure too.

How? Call DID <whatever> it rings until no answer and then rings the next number and the next until you have it go to voicemail or drop the call entirely.

Because a DID is not an extension.

Hunt groups can work the same for both extensions and DIDs. But true.

No. They are different things. His ext is 123. You cannot suddenly make that a hunt group.

I had hunt groups on my mitel systems for inward only calls that would go through the precession. If it was internal calling it would only ring a person.

I never said you make extension 123 into a hunt group. You create a hunt group 998 add members 123 124 and 125 and voicemail
Inward dialing rule to DID (which may be tied to extension 123) says wait, this is inward dial, send this call to the hunt group.

But then when someone calls 123. How does it get to the hunt group?
The same as going to another ext or whatever. The failover. So what is the point of over complicating the process by adding hunt groups to the mix

Granted it is probably complex, but it's what we required. Inward calls would go to the hunt group, ring 1 ext, then the next and lastly to voicemail (with a specific ring sound too)
Internal dialing would just ring the person and then voicemail if they failed to answer.

@JaredBusch complex ≠ bad (not every time anyways).

That is not complex. That is a pretty typical routing pattern.
But the OP said he wanted an extension to go someplace else after 3 rings. That does not involve inbound DID (directly).

It is possible I assumed he wanted inward calls (and not just extension forwarding) setup.
